"Do you still believe that out

Tris Speaker when 1 bumped into
him at Shor's.
"They're back Ihere, aren't
they?" replied the Gray Eagle,
who although he had a 20-year
American League batting average
of .344, is remembered chiefly for
remarkable fielding feats. For
years he was the model of fly
chasers. It was nice to see Spoke looking
so well. The Hall-of-Kamcr isn't
much grayer than he was when
in full stride and he s as alert
as ever as batting coach and fulh

has prospered in the steel bust

he was traded from Boston in 111 Hi

A Boston baseball writer tried

boat by a scant length Saturday
and earned the right to compete
in England's Henley Royal Regat
ta in July.
Rowed over a Lake Washington
course ruffled by a chill breeze,
this was a much tighter argument
than the longer 2:'-mile race last
week in wnich the Huskies beat
UBC by eight lengths and Stan
ford by seven.
The three boats Oregon State
made it a third went 2.000
meters Saturday and never was
there open wafer between Wash
ington and UBC, although the
Huskies led all the way.
Oregon State, trailing by t w o
lengths as the shells neared the
finish, lost an oarsman when Carl
Mohr, the stroke, caught a "crab.
The fouled oar flipped Mohr into
the water and he was fished out,
unhurt, by Ihe powerboat of Wash
ington's coach. A' Ulbrickson.
Due to the weather the course
was shifted about 200 yards east
at the last minute and not meas
ured lo an exact 2.000 meters.
Washington was timed at 8 min
utes 5.H seconds and the Thunder
birds at 6:08.2. After its mishap,
Oregon Stale limped across in
(1:30.
In a preliminary at the same
distance, Washington's junior var
sity bested the Washington frosh
by a length and the British Colum
bia jayvecs by 4',i lengths. The
winning boat was clocked in 6:10.2.
Washington's varsity rowed the
body of the race at 32 strokes a
minute, very little faster than
their count in longer races.
Ihe Ihunderbirtls opened at a
fast 34, dropped lo 32 and in the
last quarter mile picked the beat
up to 34 again and almost pulled,
even with Ihe Huskies.
Coxswain John Bisset lifted
Washington to a 34 in answer and
the Huskies gained back t h e
edge whicn was just under a
length at the finish.
The Washington crew had been
promised a trip to Henley if it
won all its regularly scheduled
races this year. Saturday's vic
tory completed Ihe sweep. Wash
ington had beaten California prior
to ils triumph, over Stanford and
UBC a week ago.
The $35,000 needed to send the
crew to England is being raised
by public subscription.

the local semi-pros. Game time is
2 o'clock PDT.
The Kubs and Yreka are cur
rently tied with 2-0 records in
league play, tops for the six team
circuit. The winner of today's
game will take a big step towards
the Northern Cal title.
Yreka boasts one of the top
teams to play in the NCL in sev

plenty of opposition. Klamath, im
proving every week, is expected to
field a talented lineup that should
give the Kubs hosts a scrap.
Manager Irv whitt expects to
be at full strength this afternoon
with Ihe addition of catcher Bob

CORVALLiS. Ore. (AP) Pow
erful Southern California, behind
the three-hit pitching of Bruce
Gardiner, won the Pacific Coast
conference baseball title with a
15-0 victory over Oregon State
here Saturday.
Southern California Friday
blanked the Beavers 7-0 in the
opener of the best-two-out-of-three
title senies.
Gardiner faced only 30 men in
the nine-inning game, walked none
and fanned five.
His team clubbed 17 hits off
five Oregon Stale pitchers. One
was a three-run homer by catcher
Bill Heath.
A home run launched Southern
California to its crushing victory,
in a game delayed more than two
hours by heavy showers that
drenched the infield.
In the first inning, Mike Casta
non lofted his solo homer 375 feet
over the right-center field fence.
The Trojans couldn't touch OSC
starter Gary Moore for more runs
until the nfth inning.
then the Trojans exploded for
four that clinched the victory.
Lastanon, who hit .373 in the reg
ular season, rifled a single to cen
ter that drove in two runs.
Gardiner sent home another with
a sacrifice fly and Rex Johnston
scored the other with a double.
From then on Southern Califor
nia seemed able to get hits about
when it chose.
The Trojans, in running their
record to 28-6. scored one run in
the seventh, got six in the eighth
and punched over three more in
the final inning.
The eighth-inning uprising was
capped by Heath's 375-foot slam
which, like the earlier one by
Castanon, soared over the right-
center field fence.
By hurling the spectacular shut
out. Gardiner, a sophomore left
hander, ran his season record to
11-1.
The 6-foot, 177-pound hurler had
little trouble in scattering the
three hits ne gave up.
Gary Mooie doubled in the third,
and Twink Pederson slammed a
two-bagger for OSC in the sev
enth. Each time, though, Gardi
ner choked off the little rallies.
After the game. Southern Cali
fornia coach Rod Dedeaux said
"We played exceptionally fine
ball under" pressure.
"Our hitting was what we ex
pected. It was the best pitching
we have had for any series all
