MONDAY. AUGUST 8. 1955 HKRALD AND NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Gold Cup Victory Taken By Detroit Speedboater By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE I The Gold Cup, elderly symbol of America's speedboat championship, was headed back to Detroit Monday after' a. merry Sunday mixup in which a loser was the winner and the winner cheered too soon. Gale V, Joe Schoenith's romping monster, earned the cup on points. Half a million people that's the Beattie Police Department's esti mate of the crowd thought the victory belonged to Miss Thrift way. This brand new Seattle en try in the speedboat racing pic ture roared to clear, cut victories in the second and third heals of the 48th 90-mile classic. The Gale, driven by the owner's son, Lee Schoenith, finished second in the first heat, second in the second heat and third in the last 30-mile go-round. But when the race officials fig ured up the time they found that Gale needed 4.53 fewer seconds to negotiate the 90 miles than did the Thriftway. which finished third in the first heat.This earned Gale a bonus of 400 points for running the fastest race. With points earned during the heats, Gale wound up with 1.225. CONKED Ol'T Miss Thriftway, lacking a bonus, finished with 1,025 points. The Slo- Mo-Shun IV, which brougnt tne Gold Cup to Seattle in 1950. was in the thick of' the point scramble until her engine conked out on the nexl-to-last lap of the final heat. She got third place on the cup ladder. Fourth went to Such Crust HI and fifth to Miss Cadillac, both of Detroit. Breathless, entered from Piedmont. Calif., took sixth and Gale IV, sister of the winner, was seventh. The Slo-Mo-Shun IV set. a couple ef records in winning the first heat. Her 107 miles per hour for the third lap and 103 for the heat were new arks in gold cup com petition. Failure to finish cost her the 400-point bonus she could have had for recording the day's fast est heat. She was not alone on the side lines at the windup. Flame flashed in the cockpit of Guy Lombardo's Temp IV in the first lap of the day and driver Danny Foster was burned on the left arm. He was not seriously hurt but the boat was through for the day. lTKmsmvERED Two craft sank, both after hit- imr some undiscovered debris. The Scotter Too. owned by indus trialist Henry Kaiser, holed her hull just before the start of the race. ReDet sun. running team with Thriftway. had the same experience in the second heat. Their drivers were not hurt. Miss United States, another De lroit entry, was withdrawn before the start due to engine trouble. The Gale IV conked out for keeps in the second heat. Such Crust III could not make the starting line" for the first heat but turned in a tremendous performance in the last two. The Crust finished fourth in the second heat and second in the last one, giving Thriftway and Slo-Mo a thrilling battle in the finale. Driver Bill Muncey, designer Ted Jones, owner Willard Rhodes and the whole Thriftway camp were jubilant when their boat roared home in front in the final heat, apparently to win the cup. Then the report came that the timers were studying the situation regarding the bonus points. It took half an hour to decide the issue and turn on the flame of celebration in the bailiwick of the Gales. Muncey might have won had he kept up his torrid 103-mph pace of the next-to-final lap. But when the Slo-mo dropped out it ap peared he had the race wrapped up and he eased off to 93 for the last lap. For several years the Gold Cup race has been the climax event of Seattle's annual week-long Sea fair celebration.

"BILL" HEIMANN x Chicago Has Big Gjem With Banks On Squad TODAY'S SPORT PARADE (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) The delight ed Chicago Cubs, who wouldn't take a half million dollars in cold cash for him right now, are firmly convinced that spectacular young Ernie Banks has blossomed into the most valuable player in the Na. tional League. Banks, at 24, "can't be had at Bend Scores Triumph Over Suburban 4-0 Suburban of Klamath Palls again fell 4-0 before the pitching mas tery of big Tom Ray of the Bend VFW softball team Sunday night at Bend in the deciding game of the district playoffs. The Sunday night win coupled with Satuidny evening's 2-0 deci sion over the Subs gave the Cen tral Oregon team the district title and the right to enter the state tournament this weekend at Eu gene. Ray was aeain the stumbling block of the Klamath soft bailers. Saturday evening the Bend pitch er fashioned a two hit shutout and last night limited Suburban to three singles. It was Ray's ninth. game in seven days of playoff nction. The talented moundsman struck out 11 Suburban hitters while his teammates collected five hits of their own and took advantage of five Sub errors to snare the win. In the last half of the first inn ing, Don Campbell, Brr.d leadoff hitter walked, a sacrifire followed by an error gave Bend runners on second and third. John Newell then singled both runners home with what proved to be the winning runs. Millard Marsh led Bend hitters with two hits m three tines. The three Klamath hits were picked up by Roy Harris, Jim Brown and Cliff Klemler. who had a two-out seventh inning pinch hit single.

"There's no question that Banks is the best shortstop in the league." says his manager, Stan Hack, "and from my point of view, there aren't many better all-around play ers thanhim, either," Hack, who might possibly be en chanted with Banks' 37 home runs so far, isn't the only big league manager who takes his cap off to the Dallas-born shortstop. HITTING "The Cubs have a gem In that boy Banks," says Cincinnati Man ager Birdie Tebbetts. "Everyone talks about his hitting but he can go get 'em with anyone at short stop." Fred Haney, the sharp eyed Pittsburgh skipper, is another Banks' booster. "He all but ruined us in our last series with Chicago," Haney said. "We tried pitching te him several ways but he looks like he has this hitting business all figured out." Pee Wee Reese of the Dodgers also has paid -tremendous tribute to strong-armed Ernie, who is put ting in only his second full season in the majors, while General Man ager Frank Lane of the White Sox said not so long ago that if he had his choice of any player in the Na tion League, he d pick Banks. Such praise might tend to turn a youngster's head but there has been no difference noticeable to any of Banks' teammates. "He's the same quiet kid that came up to the club late in 1953," says veteran catcher Clyde McCul lough. "Before he's through, he's liable to break a lot of home run records but he isn't the kind who'll make a big fuss about it." ESTABLISHED Banks already has broken the old record for home runs by a Na tional League shortstop which was 22 set by Glenn Wright of the Dodg ers in 1930 and is a good bet to sur pass the American League record of 39 established by Vern Stephens of the Red Sox in 1949. "He's a wonderful boy," Hack declares. "When he comes back to tlte bench after hitting a home run he almost looks like he did some thing wrong." Banks admits he wasn't overly Interested in baseball during his days in high school where he pre ferred to play football, basketball and run the quarter mile on the track team. His father, Eddie, who had played semi-pro baseball, coaxed Ernie to do some catching in the family back-yard but the boy never dreamed of becoming a big leaguer. And when he did reach the big time, he certainly never thought he'd be the best ballplayer in the league but the Cubs and a lot of others claim that's what he is right now.

Ten-year-old Doug Jr. hung to his dud's hand, his eyes gleaming in hero worship. The dad said: "I guess I'll go back to the trailer and do some baby sitting. I've got another, Pamela. But she's only 5 months old." Doug Ford is the hottest pro golfer on the circuit right now. His check of $3,420 for winning the All-American Tournament at Tarn O'Shanter yesterday boosted his earnings for the season to $19,030 and gave him third place on the PGA money-winning list. The 33-year-old Ford, winner of the national PGA crown two weeks ago, took the All-Amertcan prize with a final 70 for a 72-hole total of 27711 under par. Instead of the windup being a race for the title, it was more a retreat. While Ford breezed in with a 2-under 70. Bruish Open champion Peter Thomson, the 64 nole leader, ballooned to 78 for 284 and seventh place. Most nt the other front runners also collapsed with the result that little-known Leo Biagetti. wiuougn bv. Ohio, took second with 70 for 280. and a four-way tie for third developed among Ted Kroll. Tonv Holouin, Jimmy Demaret and Freddie Haas each at 283. "Of course the big one Is yet to corne." said Ford. "I mean the World Tournament (starting Thurs day). I would settle right now for 274. If the weather remains good, I think it will take that to win." The 72-hole grind In the World event pays '.he, winner S50.000 it. cash and guarantees $55,000 more for 55 exhibition matches.

Ga., 286. 49ers Lucky In Close Win Over Redskins SAM FRANCISCO (UP) Coach Red Stradcr said today his San Francisco Forty Niners were "lucky" to get out of their open-'.no- exhibition game, against the Washington Redskins with a 7-6 victory. . - "That's shaving It too fine. Strader said. "We need work, es neclnlly on defense. Our protection for the passer broke down and our ground gains weren't any good either." Strader was quick to praise the Redskins as having something to do about the Forty Niner s ground gains. This was the, most aggressive Redskin outfit I've seen in a while." he commented. Tlie Forty Niner professional football team came from behind In the third quarter yesterday with a 73-yard touchdown mnrch and then staved off a last minute Washington field goal threat to win the season's opening exhibition game. Trailing 6-0 at the end or the first half, the San Francisco team took the second half kirknff and nlays. all of them featuring either the passing of Y. A.
