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lroit entry, was withdrawn before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.

NEW YORK (UP) The delight

Suburban of Klamath Palls again

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

any price." according to officials
m .the Cubs' front office who feel
the slender Negro infielder will
make baseball fans forget Willie
Mays within the next few years.
"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.

Doug Ford is the hottest pro

the national PGA crown two weeks

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

How about a five-team playoff
for the American League pennant?
It sounds fantastic but the pot is
boiling up a real fine stew for
President .Will Harridge.
Under "the American League

game playoff. In case of a tie. But
that takes care of only two clubs.
With seven weeks to go, only l'i
games separate the top four clubs.
