Honey Sees Braves Rally For Flag Win MILWAUKEE. Wis. (UPI)-The Milwaukee Braves are better off at ' the Fourth of July halfway mark man they were last year, but Manager Fred Haney, dissat isfied with his World Champions' performance, has predicted that they have their big surge still to come. Stung by the loss of a double header to the Philadelphia Phil lies Friday on the holiday and a nagging inability. to score, Han ey said, "somebody is going to pav lor this. STRAIGHT LOSSES The two losses to the Phillies gave the Braves a four game los ing streak during which they have scored only two runs, but Haney said things were bound to change. We re going to break loose, he vowed. Still, the Braves are in better shape in the standings than they were last year. Their 1957 record through the fourth was 43-32, putting them in third place, one-half game be hind first place Cincinnati. This year they reached the same point with a 39-32 record and in first place, a game and one half ahead of second place St. Louis. This puts them even on the lost side, with the chance to still win those games they are behind their 1957 pace in the win column. The Braves also are keeping up in 1957. Last year they played half the season without Joe Adcock and Billy Burton. SLUGGERS SLUMPING This year Adcock is in full time and Bruton finally got back last month, but Is not fully recovered from his knee injury. But pitcher Bob Buhl is out indefinitely and slugger Wes Covington is crippled and his status uncertain. Red Schoendienst has had to sit out a number of games, and Ad cock and tddie Mathews are only hitting around the .250 mark. Hen ry Aaron has finally started to hit, but he is still off his pace of last year with only about half tho homers he hit at the same time last season. Olympic Star Paces Women's Track Test Babe Ruthers Fill All-Star Coach Spots In preparation for the upcoming Regional Babe Ruth League tour nament to be held here August 8. 9 and 10, the existing 15 team league was broken into three sep arate divisions Wednesday by league officials, according to Jack Kemmtzcr, city park and recrea tion officer in charge. The three leagues, hereafter to be called the American League, the National League and the Coun ty League will continue their schedules as originally planned The Regional tourney, which will see teams entered from Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyo ming, permits mamatn r ails, as the host city, to enter a team separate from the one that will compete in the state tournament which will be held August 1, 2, and n On July 12, the coaches from each of the 15 local teams will meet to pick All-Star teams from each of the three new leagues. The All-Star team chosen from '.he American League will act as the host team in the originals while the All-Stars from the Na tional League and the County League will compete in a best two-out-three series July 26 and 27 for the right to enter the state tournament. Chosen as coaches for the Amer ican All-Star squad are Len Web er, as head coach, who coaches the Henley Sporting Goods nine and John Paxton, who handles Eastside Electric, as assistant Picked to work with the National League team are Gaiy Dawes, head coach, and Floyd Phelps, assistant. Dawes' National League team is the Balsiger team while Phelps directs the Moose. At this writing the head coach and assistant to handle the County All-Stars had not been chosen. Choices for the All-Star teams are not necessarily restricted to any particular age group among the 13, 14 and 15-year-olds, stated Barbara Gallagher, league secre tary. The teams will consist of 15 boys of any of the three age classifications. on her final leap for her broad jump victory, and earned her self a trip to Moscow. She later also won the 100-yard dash in 11.1 seconds and anchored Ten nessee State's flashy 440-yard re lay team to a meet record vic tory in 46.9 seconds. Mrs. Earlene Brown, 226-pound Olympia from Los Angeles broke meet records in the discus 152'j) and the shot put (47-5 -.4) and won another trip abroad. In all 20 places on the U.S. team, which will meet the Rus sians in a dual meet in Moscow July 27-28, were decided by Sat urday s championships on Mem orial Field. The team will be an nounced Sunday. ' In most cases the top two in each event, except the 50-yard dash and 440-yard run, will make the team. Five championship meet records were shattered and the American record was bettered in the broad jump. Miss Matthews luiriD eclmsed the mark of 19-11 set by team mate Willie White in finishing sec ond in the 1956 Olympics at Melbourne. A rhubarb developed in the 880-yard run when Lillian Green a 17 - year old Hunter College iresnman irom new York, was disqualified after finishing first. The victory went to Flo McCardle of New York, who had finished second on times. Miss Green was disqualified be cause a teammate paced her for the last 220 yards by running on me insiae tne track. Connie Ford, coach of New York FiJ team for which Miss Green competes, protested the dis qualification. But Mrs. Francis Kaszuhski, as referee of the meet, refused to submit the protest to the women s AAU committee. The committee and the AAU foreign policy committee, how ever, unanimously voted Miss Green a place on the team. "She is our fastest half-miler, said Jimmy Simms, secretary treasurer of the AAU.

He had a two under par 35-35 70 on the morning round but hur ried through the, afternoon round, bogeying the first three holes and taking a double bogey six on the final hole for a 79 to add to his two dav total of 150.

ANNE'S - ON - SEA. Eng- land (AP) Peter Thomson of Australia beat big Dave Thomas of Wales by four strokes in a bitter 36-hole playoff Saturday and woa his fourth British Open golf championship for a place beside the immortals of the game. Ine poised, 28-year-old world traveler from Melbourne, emerg ing from an 18 months' slump, shot rounds of 68 and 71 over the Royal Lytham and St. Anne's course for 139. Thomas, struggling irom - enind most of the long, gray day, fired 69-74-143. The two had finished the reeu- lation 72-hole tournament Friday tied at 278 ten strokes better than the lone American threat, Peter Thomson Nabs British Open Honors World's Wildest Show Hydros Bid For Cup G-S Expects Big Gold Cup Entry By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE (AP) - The way things are shaping up, you won't be able to see the Gold Cup race this year for the boats. Greater Seattle, Inc., which angels the world's wildest boat show, reports a "possible" entry list of 31 hydroplanes. If r,ll of them showed up, Aug. to wouldn't be big enough to handle them. Race rules say no more than seven boats can run at one time. If our gozintas are right, seven goxinta 31 four times with three boat! left over. Each of the first two heats of the 1938 Gold Cup rare would have to split into five sections. Counting (he final heat, that would add up to 11 separate races, each of 30 miles. The first 5-minute warning gun would rattle your breakfast dishes and the thunder- boats would still be whooping wound the 3-mile oval at sundown. The half a million people who pack the shoreline and the picas ure boats to watch the race would love such kind of carrying on, but It Isn't likely to happen. The field of "possibles" can be trimmed te M "probables" and Greater Se attle. Inc., is planning for 21. It can hold the field to that number by limiting the entry to the 21 fastest qualifiers. This little wrinkle adds zest to the midweek qualifying runs. A boat must turn three laps of the Gold Cup course at 95 miles an hour to earn a berth normally and if there are more boats than berths the drivers will have to go for the bundle in their pre-race tests. Fifteen qualified for the race last year, making it necessary to run the first heat in three sec tions. Mechanical Indigestion cut the field sufficiently to permit a two-section second heat. The final heat is always limited to the sev en best boats still running, so the 1957 Gold Cup totaled 180 miles of racing in six sections. They ran from noon to half-past dinnertime. Humor that Bins; Crosby was building a boat to be named for his fruit Juice firm haven't been confirmed, but there win pe sev eral new hvdros in the Gold Cup scenery. The one causing the big gest throb In curiosity bump is Bill Wassoner's Shanty II, not yet out of the boat work. The fun. lotin Arizona cattleman keeps hinting his second Shanty will be a flyin fool of unusual design. Although they have been In ac tion this yean. Miss Spokane, Miss Bardahl anil Miss Pay'N Save will he Gold Cup rookies. And Miss Thriftway is a new craft, built after the Gold Cup champ of the same name came apart last fall in a Midwestern race. So far the new defender has shown going but not staying power. Hope springs eternal in the city of Detroit and seven or eight craft probably will come out from Gaso line Alley in hopes of recapturing the top trophy of speedboat rac ing. One of them could be Miss Pepsi, last of the one-step hydros and a highly feared competitor. Looking like a whale, the Pepsi can't do much more than 140 miles an hour but 'ier midsection prop allows her to turn with little loss of speed. OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE.

However, the stylish southpaw regained his form and cruised to his eighth victory and tenth complete game of the season.

Eng land (AP) Harvard's unbeaten lightweight eight brought the Unit ed States its only trophy of the Royal Henley Regatta Saturday witn a three-quarter length tri umph in the Thames Challenge uup race. The American colleaians splashed home in 6 minutes, 57 seconds to defeat the Thames Rowing Club boatload in the final, Strangely enough the new cham pions registered the same time defeating the Royal Air Force Benson Rowing Club by a third bf a length in a rugged semifinal pairing. "This is the greatest thing that ever happened to us," said coach Joe Brown. "The final went as planned. The boys were to hit their racing cadence after IS strokes, fight it out down the mid die of the race and then put on a sprint at the finish. We felt in command all the way." Russia and Australia shared the other major laurels of the day with the Soviet eight, . victor over the University of Washington boat load on Thursday, taking the Grand Challenge Cup and S. A. MacKenzie of Australia, the Dia mond sculls. The Russian heavyweights de feated the Leichhardt rowing club of Australia by two and a half lengths in the sparkling time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds lor the mile and 550-yard sweep. MacKenzie finished 120 yards ahead of Vas- ilav Ifanov of Russia, in the sin gles final to retain the title he took a year ago. His time was 8 minutes, 6 seconds. The Russians also took the dou ble sculls, Alexander Berkutov and Yri Tukalov fitting the finish in 7:21 and equaling the record lor the event. Henley's own Barn Cottage Row ing Club won the four-oared event by a full length over the National Provincial Bank Rowing Club of Great Britain in 7:16. The Cottage foursome eliminated a University of Washington quartet in Friday's semifinal round. Harvard grabbed a narrow lead at the very start of its race with the Thames Club and held it throughout to' become the tenth U. S. winner of the race in the past 11 years. Last year's victor was Princeton, which did not de fend. Princeton also is the record holder in the event with a time of 6:45. 56-year-old Gene Sarazen of Germ antown, N. Y. In winning his fourth British Open in the space of five years, Thomson matched the records of such golf gianis as Harry - Var don, Walter Hagen and Bobby Locke. Even Bob Jones, America's famed grand slammer, won only three British Opens and Ben Ho- gan won one, in his only try, al though both share the record of four U. S. Open triumphs. Thomson, who hones his game on the rugged America;; pro tour, has the phenomenal record 0.' hav ing finished 1-2 in the last seven British Opens. He put three on a string in 1954, 1955 and 1956 be fore Locke, the putting master from South Africa, dethroned him last year. After his 1956 victory in Britain, the Australian went into a myster ious decline, failing to win an other major tournament until now. He was even beaten for Australian titles last year. A crowd estimated at 20.090 saw Thomson seize an early four stroke lead through the first seven holes, lose it and then stage a blazing finish for his runaway vic tory. Par for the 6,635-yard layout is 71. Thomas, regarded as one of the longest hitters in the game, was only ,one stroke back after J9 holes and the same after 27. But then he lost three strokes on the next two holes and he never got back into the fight. Win Posted . By Johnson PALMYRA, N. J. (AP) Rafe Johnson, the muscle-man from UCLA, won the national decath. Ion title Saturday to set up a face-to-face meeting with Russia's Vassily Kuznetsov later 'this month. Johnson scored 7,754 points, for below his own listed world record of 7,985 and Kuznetsov's pending mark of 8,016. They'll clash in the U. S.-Russia meet July 27-28 and Johnson s coach, Duck Drake, said his charge will smash the Russian's performance to bits. Yang Chuan-Kwang of Free Chi a. the Asian Games champion. wes second with 7,625 points. Dava Edstrom of the University of Ore- gon was third with 7,154. Edstrom will accompany Johnson as a member of the U. S. team .that tangles with Russia. Defending Champion Charlie Pratt of Palmyra the home town favorite, was fourth with 6.92J points and Bob Lawson of the Southern California striders fifth with B,550 points. While Johnson failed to break Kuznetsov's mark, he still east head off the Russian's getting hit name in the record book. All Ra- fer must do is better 8.016 in tha U.S. Russia meet.
