fromfhc Russian sports fans heard quit a bit about Oregon earlier this week as the Soviets clashed with the United States touring track and field team in a two-day meet in Moscow. . . Although the Russians claimed a two-point scoring and moral victory, they would have fared lots better if four Oregonians hadn't turned in such outstanding work for the United States team. i' - Oregon sports fans were thrilled when the Beaver state was represented by distance runners Bill Dellinger and Jim Grelle, de cathlon star Dave Edstrom and woman shot putter Sharon Shepherd. And these four turned in brilliant showings in the meet to prove their selections rightful. Miss Shepherd, remembered by Klamath Falls Softball followers as the speed-balling pitcher who led Oakridge-Westfir to second place in the two state women's softball tournament held at Gem Stadium a few years back, placed a strong fourth in the women's shot' put event. Sharon, who calls Mapleton tier home, tossed the iron ball 44 feet 9 3-8 inches. Grelle, University of Oregon mil ,er, scored a surprise victory for the American team in the 1.500 me ter run (the metric mile). His time was three minutes, 46.7 seconds. Grelle is a Portlander who still has another year of eligibility left at Kttie Eugene school. ' Dellinger, former NCAA mile champion from the University of Oregon, lost a heartbreaker to Rus sia's Hubert Pyarankivi in a near dead heat in the 5,000 meet run. Dellinger and his Russian foe were both credited with times of 14:28.4, but the officials nod gave first place honors to the Soviet distance star. Dellinger wasn't rated a close second to the Red great. Edstrom, just a sophomore this past year at Oregon, is probably one of the state's greatest track prospects ever. The Sherwood cin der sensation does just about ev erything there is in the sport and does it so well he could eventually become the world decathalon champion. Dave finished third to Rater Johnson, the U.S.'s greatest and Vasily Kuznetsov, Russia's finest. Edstrom rolled up 7,397 points as he won the 110-meter hurdles and the 1,500 meter run in the 10-event maralhon. Johnson set a new I world's decathalon record with his winning total of 8,302 points. Kuz- i netsov rolled up 7,897, a mere 500 more points than the young Sher- . wood star from the university ot Oregon. The Soviets are planning to re turn the meet with the United States team in Philadelphia in ; July of 1959. From the showings made by the above Oregonians, it would be nice to hold another such meet at Eugene's Hayward Field. Oregon track coach Bill Bower- " man would shudder to think of the work such a meet would entail. but would love to be the director . of such a classic. Harry Gllckman, president of Oregon Sports Attractions in Port land, said this past week that a great deal of interest has been shown in the "local" flavor the San Francisco 49er - Washington Redskin exhibition game at Mult nomah Stadium. Noted principals in the game will be Washington halfback Dick James former Grants Pass high and University of Oregon star and fullback Sam Baker who Leptich Wins Senior Golf Tourney Bout OSWEGO (API. Portland's Marty Leptich is off to a fine start, seeking his fifth Oregon Senior Golfers Assn. champion ship. Leptich, the defending cham pion, paced the field in Tuesday's opening round of match play by defeating Joe Herron, Portland, 7 and 5, and went on to finish out a two-under-par round of 66. This match highlighted action in the class A division for men 50 to 60. The class A co-medalists, Dr. . Millard Rosenblatt of Portland and Dave Coons, Vancouver, Wash., also were victorious in opening match play. ' Coons was pressed to eliminate A. A. Lengrew.

These two, along with other top names in the pro lootball ranks will be seeing action August 23 be- lore Portland fans. Baker holds a flock of offensive records set in the first Shrine all star game in the stadium. In the 1948 game, Sam ran wild on the Multnomah turf in leading the state stars to a 35-14 win. He was named the game's outstanding player. James is also a Shrine game alumni, playing in the 19o3 game when the state team won 12-6. Oregon Tech football coach Rex Hunsaker thought he had seen the last of Portland State College's rough and rugged fullback Chuck Withers, who won himself all-conference honors and rolled up a to tal of 1,056 yards in three years at PSC. Withers completed his playing days last year at Portland State, but the school announced recently that Chuck has been named to the Vikings iootball coaching staff to work with the backfield under head coach Les Leggett. Portland State is Oregon Tech's Oregon Collegiate Conference opener this year. The two clubs meet at Modoc Field October 4, the second home date of the schedule for the Owls. Tech opens its home schedule against Hamil ton Air Base September 20. When the New York football Gi ants opened their training camp at Salem Monday, a rookie who had seen lots of Oregon football got his first look at the state. Don Sutherlin, who kicked the field goal that gave Ohio' State a 10-7 win in last New Year's Day Rose Bowl game over Oregon, was among the rookies who reported to the Giants camp. Sutherlin's kick prevented the highly favored Buck eyes of the Big Ten from being held to a 7-7 draw, which would have been humiliating. Reports from Salem indicate the former Ohio State end and place kicker could stick with the Giants. Sports briefs from here and there. . , .

Southeast Sweeps 11-4 By WAYNE SCOTT Herald and News Sportswriler PORTLAND - The Klamath County AU-Stars, who had earned the name "Cinderella" team, saw their Oregon State Babe Ruth Championship carriage turn into a pumpkin a little before 12 o'clock as they became the runnerup by virtue of an 11-4 defeat at the hands of the Southeast Nationals on Portland's Lents Field Tues day night. The victory won the Southeast team, the right to represent Ore gon as state champion in the com ing Babe Ruth Regionals to be held here starting August 6. Ihe County Stars had to be con tent with a plaque for the District I championship and second place honors in, the state. Klamath Falls will be represented in the Region als by the American League All Stars, who will serve as host team. Coach Fred Taylor's County crew had battled their way into the final game by dumping Astoria in the opening round of tournament American Athletes In Poland WARSAW (AP) There were more signs and billboards in War saw today advertising the visit of 65 American athletes than there are signs on communism. The Americans arrive today from Moscow. They will race against Poland in track and field Friday and Saturday. In Moscow, the American men defeated Soviet men, Soviet wom en defeated American women and Soviet athletes, as a whole, won the meet 172-170. Polish sports officials say they don't expect their men and women to beat the United States, but that the meeting should be a great oc casion. In European track and field. Poland probably ranks second to the Soviet Union. In several events Poland is better than the Soviet Union. In short and middle distance running events, the Poles are considerably behind the Americans but ahead of the Soviets. Soviet women are stronger than the Polish girls, and the U.S.-Polish women's scoring should be very close. Before leaving Moscow, Coach George Eastment of the American men s team expressed an optimis tic viewpoint about American prospects in the distance events. "I believe we will be exception ally strong by the 1960 Olympics in Rome," he said. "We should place two among the first six at 1,500 meters. By 1964 "we should have one among the first six in the 5.000 meters. We could sur prise in the steeplechase any time because our runners have been training enthusiastically for the event since Horace Ashenfelter popularized it by winning in the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki. I am certain we are coming along very solidly in the 5,000 meters. We have improved great ly in the 10,000 meters also, but have a long way to go in devel opment." German Pug, Fullmer Meet NEW YORK (UPD- German middleweight Franz S z u z i n a craves victory instead of blue Wooded martyrdom tonight in his first Madison Square Garden fight with Spider Webb. Their 10-rounder will be tele vised nationally. - Maybe I get the decision if I win yah? said the stubby, mus cular carpenter from Bremen. He said that because he had dropped a very unpopular split verdict to Joey Giardello at a "black tie" dinner fight in Wash ington, D.C., June 11. That was the night Washington society leaders made a martyr of rranz by forgetting social ameni ties and booing the decision thun derously. It's doubtful if there'll be many blue-bloods at the ringside tonight when he faces rangy Webb of Chi cago, fifth rated contender for the 160-pound crown. Franz is ranked. Although Webb accepted the bout on short notice as a substi tute, he is favored at 12-5 because of his speed, skill and punch. The spider is a replacement for champion Gene Fullmer, who withdrew because of brow cuts in training.

In the championship test the County team got off to a 4-2 lead in the first two innings which they managed to hold until the top nl the sixth when the hitting strength of the Southeast nine combined with a fading on Ihe part of County starting hurler Dennis Salvador! to let the Portlanders take com mand with an 8-4 count. The top of seventh saw the SE club pick up three more tallies as reliefers Chuck Cossey and Rick Carleton gave up a pair of walks and a single which were added to a pair of County miscues to clinch the affair. The winning pitcher, Jim War ren, a tall righthander, came into the game in the third stanza after starter Gary Sanders had walked eight men and issued the only two kF hits which accounted for the County scores. Warren, in finishing up the third and going the rest of the way. gave up no hits, struck out eight Klamath players, walked only one and struck one batter. His team mates committed only two errors, both in the first frame. On the Klamath side of the pitching ledger, the loser, Salva dori walked four, fanned eight, and was reached for four hits. Cos sey issued two walks, two hits and whiffed two. Carleton faced only one batter, who got a hit. The County squad committed five er rors. Leading the hitters was South east second baseman Sonny Payne who collected two singles in three trips, although he was outshone by centerfielder Steve Coon who poled a triple in the disastrous sixth. The only other extra base rap of the game was a double by first sacker Dwight Daniels. Clint Fitzhugh and Bill Felix added sin-, gles to the Southeast cause while the Klamath hits were singles by Salvadori and Wilson. Salvadori fanned the leadoff man and the cleanup hitter in the top of the first and allowed Payne his first hit. Payne died on the sacks. In the KF half of the inning eight straight balls off Sanders put Bucky Wilson and Don Willey on base. Each scored as Sanders walked two more and his mates made a pair of mistakes. Southeast evened the count in Ihe top of the second as Daniels double coupled with an error and a free pass brought in two runs. Daniels attempt to score . on squeeze was nipped in the bud as County , c a t c h e c Dean Haskins nailed him at the plate: In the last of the second, Klam ath ' Collected two more markers as Willey was granted another walk-followed by Wilson's single. Again the pair scored, this time on Salvadori's single. . Tle third, fourth and . fifth In nings were relatively uneventful as the game seemingly resolved itself into a pitcher s duel, with War ren getting a slight edge. The explosion came in the first of the sixth canto as Salvadori, obviously weakening, walked four men and gave up a hit to set the stage for the six run barrage. Coming in with the bases loaded, Cossey was rapped for a single and the screaming triple to left center by Coon, before retiring the side. Klamath couldn't scratch in the last of the sixth as Warren fanned Willey and Bob Mobley and forced Wilson to pop up to second base. The three Southeast insurance runs came in the seventh after two were out. Cossey walked two men and Wilson committed a field ing error and a throwing miscue on the same play. Felix blasted one past Bruce Brickner on first and the damage was done. In the last of the seventh a faint glimmer of hope showed through as Salvadori, who had been shifted to third after his stint on the hill, got aboard with a walk. A slow roller down the first baseline resulted in Dean Haskins being called out for inter fering with the pitcher's attempt to field the ball. When the argu ment died down Norman Jackson was handed a free pass but both Salvadori and Jackson died on base as Larry Peters struck out and Brickner grounded out to the pitcher.
