But he's still not convinced he'll ever become too fond of indoor running. Morrow raced on a board track for the first time in the Evening Star Games Saturday night and -came through in great shape sweeping the sprint series just to prove he's an out-front man on the ; Jndoor dashes. jS But the 23-year-old Texan from Abilene Christian College made it t clear he prefers the wide-open r outdoors. ' "The crowd here is right on top of you, You can't find a place to warm up and the boards are j hard on your legs," Morrow said , before the games in the big Wash ington National Guard Armory. Morrow had won three 1956 '. Olympic gold medals, equaled the ; world's record at 9.3 in the 100 and won many outdoor titles be- ' lore testing the hardwood. ; ;j . He scored his triple victory by , capturing the 70-yard dash in 7.2 ' seconds, the 80 in 8.1 and the 100 w in 9.8. IV However, he didn't match the I , V-S. records set by Duke's Dave v Sime on the same track the ' Tbngest 1 straightaway in indoor track. Leafs Seek To Jump Up By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The month of January has meant a new era as well as a new year to the Toronto Maple Leafs. , " They've been coming so fast under new boss George (Punch) Imlach, it looks as if the Leafs may lose their grip on last place In the National Hockey League. Since the turn of the new year, the Leafs have won six games, lost three and tied one. It's the best pace m the NHL for the period with the exception of Montreal's runaway Canadiens. In 11 January games, the Cana diens have won five, tied five and lost one. Montreal is 16 points in front of their closest pursuers. The Toronto spurt, on the other hand, has Imlach and Co. now only one point behind fifth-place Detroit, two behind fourth-place Boston and five behind Chicago and New York, now tied for sec ond with 46 points apiece. . The Leafs, beaten 3-1 by Boston Saturday night, rebounded with a 4-1 victory over the slumping Chi caeo Black Hawks Sunday night Chicago, beaten 2-0 in the ai tional TV game by Detroit Satur day, fell Into a second place tie with New York.

Some things that have been, per haps, overlooked In this surge of excitement in the cause of kids and sports, are the factors, peo ple and circumstances behind the introduction of Little League Base ball in our city, The Little League of Klamath r aus has oeen an accredited mem ber of the National Association for a year now and in the coming sea son they will be permitted to play in . National Tournaments with same chance as the famed Mon terrey, Mexico team that won the Little League World Series last season. Prior to the time they were ad- mltted to the national group, how ever, there was a period of near ly five years ot struggles by such men as Loren Blnney, Bud Adkins B. M. Antle, Floyd Phelps, George Sprague and others who pioneered the plan to give eur youngsters the same epportunitles offered boys In other areas throughout the land. When the local Little League came into actual being last year It marked the culmination of these untiring efforts. Gene Favell, pres ident ot tne league, Frank Rickey vice president, Doris Abernathy, treasurer and Mildred Binney. sec retary, were elected to carry on the work, along with an able board of directors. A number of others have since joined the movement and are equally deserving ol praise.

(UPI) - OR- lando Cepeda and Ruben Gomez. a couple of native sons, readily conceded today that no man is a hero in his own hometown. Local baseball fans treated the two Puerto Rican big leaguers like rank outsiders Sunday night dur ing a game which finally was for feited because of a bottle-throwing riot. Cepeda and Gomez, both of whom play for Santurce here, had helped their club to a 4-0 lead over Mayaguez when the riot broke out in the eighth inning. It was touched off by a long and ve hement argument Cepeda had with the umpires. Partisan Mayaguez fans 'deman ded that Cepeda, who played for the San Francisco Giants last sea son and recently was named the National League rookie of the year in 1958, be ejected from the game. The umpires refused and the angry patrons began hurling bottles, orange peels and other debris onto the field. After conferring, the umpires gave the Mayaguez club five min utes to clean up the Held and when that wasn't done mainly because it was impossible the game was forfeited to Santurce Gomez, who was a teammate of Cepeda's with the Giants last season but was traded to the Phil adelphia Phillies last month, drew the ire of the fans during the first inning when he hit Joe Chnsto pher ol Mayaguez on the head with a pitch. Christopher had to be removed to a hospital. Upon leaving the ball park Gomez found the fans had given him something to remember them by. They had stoned his automobile and put a huge hole la the rear glass.
