fTriple Honor
1 WASHINGTON (AP) - Bobby
j Morrow neads into New York s
, Millrose Games with a triple win
1 ", to his credit in his first competi
tion on the boards.
.. 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. The Rangers wal
loped Boston 8-3.

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.

Cepeda Bum
In Hometown
SAN JUAN, P.R. (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.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Fa
vored but struggling United States
and Russia the two remaining
undefeated teams see action to
night in the World Basketball
Championships.
The Americans, who have won
their two games by a total of six
points, face Nationalist China,
which has lost both its games.

Brazil Saturday, goes against Bui
garia. The Bulgarians won their

the Air Force All-Stars, has been
unimpressive and Chilean newspa
pcrs are complaining.

Chilian newspaper:
"This team is not up to the
quality we have been accustomed
to expect from a U.S. representa
tive."
The U.S. and Russia meet Wed
