To Ccdl Pocatello Club Athletics POCATELLO, Idaho tf Po-catello's Pioneer League baseball team has acquired its third name. This year's club -wDI be known as the Athletics because of its new affiliation with the Kansas City A's of the American League.

Pocatello for many years called its team the Cardinals because of the club's tieup with the St. Louis Cards of the National League, When St. Louis dropped Pocatello as a farm dub the team changed to the Bannocks. on arom heels an of a mile from home. The crowd of 39.673 waited im patiently: as the stewards studied the films for 10 minutes before taking down Golf Ace's number and moving Head Man to the top spot on the board.

Golf Ace, a non-derby eligible, went off at 7-1. under the new foul rule which went into effect only Friday, ht was shunted only down to 2nd instead of last place as called for previously. They were the only two horses involved in the inci dent since Head Man finished IV lengths ahead of the 3rd horse, Mrs. Wallace Gilroy's Oh Johnny. Oh Johnny also is not eligible ror Jhe derby The foul was not decided until five minutes after the nationally televised race was off the air and the many viewers did not learn that Golf Ace was disqualified until much later.

Tdhy Despirito rode Golf Ace '-and led all the way in the mile and an eighth event. However, he drifted out sharply in the straightaway run to the wire. Arcaro finally-pulled Head Man from the middle of the track over toward the rail near the sixteenth pole but was beaten 2 lengths. Arcaro said immediately after the race that he would ride Head Man in thederby at Louisville in two weeks. Golf Ace's time was an excel lent 1:50 1-5, or 1-5 of a second slower than when Correlation captured this race in 1954.

That was the fastest since the distance was increased in 1952. The track was fast. All of the eight starters carried 126 pounds and Head Man paid $3.90, $2.90 and $2.50 in carrying Arcaro to his seventh Wood Memorial success. Golf Ace paid $4.90 and $3.40 while Oh Johnny returned $3.80. Big League Races Down to Normal (By Associated Press) 7 The pennant races in the major leagues almost shook down to normalcy Saturday.

The only two unbeaten teams, Chicago's White Sox in the American League, and Milwaukee's Braves in the National, finally tasted defeat for the first time this season. Chicaga-sS-gamsL-streakwent in Kan- sas ecity Athletics who scored 13 runs in the 2nd inning after two men were out. Milwaukee game run ended on a squeaker. Wally Moon's 2-out single in the 7th scored Stan Musial from second with the winning run and a 6-5 St. Louis victory.

The Braves, however, held on to 1st place with a 3-1 record as Pittsburgh's Bob Friend dialed the champion Brooklyn Dodgers with a 3 -hitter for a 3-1 win and the Chicago Cubs downed Cincinnati 3-2. Philadelphia (2-1) and the New York Giants (2-2) were idle. The Phils are 2nd, with Brooklyn, New York and St. Louis, and Chicago tied for 3rd, with 2-2 records, In the American League, (he New York Yankees took over their accustomed 1st place porch by whipping Boston for the second straight day, 14-10, in an exciting and loosely played marathon. The Yanks have a 4-1 mark, trailed by Chicago and Kansas City.

3-1 each, and Boston, 3-2. In the other American League games, Washington stopped Baltimore 8-4, and Detroit edged Cleveland 7-6. Trojan Trackmen Run Riot Over Stanford LOSANGELES(UP)South- ern California trampled the Stan ford Indian Track and Field Varsity Saturday before 2,227 fans in the Coliseum by a 99V4 to 31 score, third largest winning mark in the history of the two school's rivalry. Mike Larrabee, Troy's ace quarter miler, ran a sensational one-lap race by equalling a 24-year-old mark of 47.1 seconds, set by the Great Ben Eastman of Stanford back in 1932. The race was run around two turns with Larrabee running on the outside lane.

He showed tremendous speed from the gun and outran the entire field. Murray Coburn, his teammate who was supposed to give him a close race, couldn't match Lar-rabee's speed. Sid Wing, the Trojan's top miler who has broken 4:10 several ran the half-mile instead of his favorite event and set a new meet record, of ran the 440-yard relay a tenth of a second under the recognized world mark it set in the Compton Calif) Relays last May. The "dream match" in the shot put, featuring world record holder Parry O'Brien, former USC great competing with Travis (Calif) AB, and Bill, Nieder, Uni-versity of Kansas, went to O'Brien who had a toss of 60 feet 2tt inchesr Nieder got off a college meet record toss of 59-7 Other records that tumbled during the hot and windy afternoon were: 400 meter hurdles :52.2 by Gene O'Conner, Kansas State. University 880-yard relay 1:24.6 by Baylor.

(Bob Herod, Clyde Hart, Raymond Vickery and Del-bert Shofner). College invitational sprint med ley 3:35.0 by Missouri Valley (Bill Smith, Ken Easbury, Jim Garner, and Bob Clark). 2-mile college relay 7:41.6 by Howard Payne (Allen etippe, Louie Hayes, Don Shepard, Les Fam-brough). Decathlon 6,393 points by Phil Mulkey, University of Wyoming. Whilden, who ran the leg of Texas' swift quarter mile team, tied the meet 100-yard dash record of 9.4 seconds set by Cy Leland of TCU back in 1930.

Whilden broke the tape a stride ahead of Kansas' Dick Blair. And just for added treat for the estimated 15,000 fans, Charles Du mas of Compton (Calif) College set a stadium record not figured as a relays mark at 6 feet 8 inches in the AAU division of the open high jump. Chesapeake Stakes Won by 99-1 Shot LAUREL, Md. MPV The longest shot in the race of 10 3-year-olds, Cecil D. Fischbach Frosty won the Chesapeake Stakes Satur day in which four Kentucky Derby elieibles were among the trailers Frosty winning for the first ttrmeirninenefforts thisyearr beat Happy Hill Farm's Kingmaker to pay a whopping $200.80, $58.80 and $21.60.

C. V. Whitney's Born Mighty, a triple-crown candidate, was 3rd and Montpelier Stable Nahooah 4th. Frosty Mr. ran the mile and sixteenth in 1:44 2-5.

The victory was worth $18,825 to Dischbach who is from Akron, Ohio. Elk in Good Shape HELENA W) Montana's elk herds are widely scattered this spring, but in fair condition, says Director R. F. Cooney of the State Fish and Game Dept 's Wildlife Restoration Division. Reporting on an aerial inspec-tiornxf the Sunliver GameRange and the South Fork of the Flathead Friday, Cooney said 'the elk are able to find spring vegetation in both areas.

IrTHhe SunRiverKangethe herds are gradually drifting back to. higher ranges. The snow appears to be melting slowly, although there is a heavy snow pack on the higher elevations of the Continental Divide. bird is an accepted fact, but the Craighead -Stockstad report indi cates he is something less than a genius when comes to deploying his forces in the field. As proof, they cite: "On Ninepipe there were two corridors, one to the east and one to the west, where geese could leave the refuge and attain con- iderableJiyBighOelojreacliijiga point where hunters could shoot at them.

Movement data showed that relatively few flocks utilized these corridors, and probably no geese learned these flight lanes were rel atively safe. Certain flocks fol lowed well defined patterns day after day in spite of formidable arrays of guns and men. Various flocks went to certain feeding and loafing areas, and the general direction in which these lay ap peared to determine the direction of flight." Specifically, the report points out a 1953 flight from Pablo to west Poison Bay breeding grounds re sulted in death to many geese banded as young geese on those grounds. Despite the gun pres sure, the birds were so persistent in this homing that by the end of the season 60 per cent of this par ticular recurring flight had been killed, Thus, while hunting may tend to keep birds inside a refuge and otherwise restrict their -move- mentsit won't control them. Most hunters with much field experi ence know that a mallard, when ready to eat, will stop at nothing to reach his favorite stubble field.

Biology seems to outrank a shotgun blast any time. Other pointed facts in the report are that heavy movement can oc cur on the clearest day, although fog will produce the best shooting at good ranges. Experienced week day hunters kill far more geese than inexperienced weekenders, and can do it in less time. Experience both in hunting and studying geese is a major factor In 1954 only 6.16 per cent of the hunters in the Flathead killed 217 geese or half of those killed. Con verselyi-more than half the-Flat- head hunters killed no geese at all.

In 1954 one hunter killed 24 geese the season, and one hunter in 1955 killed 19. While minimums of from 350 to 700 geese are killed annually in the valley, about one-third of them resident birds, the crippling loss is estimated at a little less than one bird out of four. J-JjOoking totheiuturewhen more and more hunters are inevitable, Craighead and Stackstad have what may seem to some to be startling suggestions for the Flathead. Briefed, these are: man age the Falthead resident geese the same way pheasants and other upland birds now are managed, set even tighter state regulations inside federal rules on seasonal bag limits, zone the area to ease pressure on heavily-hunted flight lanes, and restrict the skillful but devastating weekday hunter.

To Honor Top Male, Female Athletes MILWAUKEE The nation's No. 1 male and female athletes, as determined each year in polls conducted by The Associated Press, will be awarded trophies by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. This was announced Saturday by Circuit Judge Robert C.

Cannon of general chairman of the Eagles committee planning the initial awards. With 1,600 lodges in the United States and Canada, the Eagles boast a membership of around 80Q.OOO. Cannon said the first trophies will go to Howard (Hopalong) Cas-sady, All-America football star at Ohio State, and Patty Berg, professional golfer from Minneapolis, who were named "athletes of the year" for 1955, in AP polls last January. The trophies will be presented at a luncheon in New York City ocjaTune 1 "The 'Swede' is a great guy, he's done more for development of good citizens among the young boys of Butte than people will ever realize. Give me $50 worth of tickets, I'll give them to my friends." The gentleman who made the above statement did not identify himself to the young woman selling tickets for the Harry "Swede" Dahlberg Day testimonial dinner here April 28 at 6:30 p.m., but bis remarks are typical of the trihutespaidthe plans for "His Day" have been outlined.

The Dahlberg Day dinner will be held in the Silver Bow ballroom of the Finlen Hotel. Tickets sell for $5 per pasteboard, a portion of that amount to go toward caring for expenses of tee dinner, and a presentation for the "Swede." The principal speaker will be Bernie Bierman, the "Sly Fox" of football as a coach at the University of Minnesota, and a former, mentor at Butte High School (1916), Montana State University and Tulane William Meyer, Butte attorney, will be toastmaster. and repre sentatives of "Swede's "first Butte High School team (1922), and his last football squad (1956), will be among the speakers.

Derby Hopefuls Star oil Coast SAN BRUNO, Calif U.R) A pair of Kentucky Derby nominees, No Regrets and Lucky G.L., ran one-two Tn i a thrilling finish of the $38,950 California Derby Saturday.

No Regrets, ridden by the veteran jockey Johnny Longden, staged a wild finish to nip Lucky G.L. at the wire. A 70-1 longshot named Cleofasta had led for more than a mile of the mile and one- eighth race at Tanforan and finished third several lengths back. The winer paid $8.40, $5.20 and $4.40, Lucky G.L. paid $8.40 and $6.60.

and Cleofasta $17.10. The heavy favorite of the crowd, Social Climber, with Willie Shoemaker up. finished fourth. No Regrets was clocked in the good time of 1:50.3, No Regrets was sired by Revoked out of in finite Girl, and is owned by W. Britt of Clayton, N.M.

The win was his third in seven starts this year. He did not race as a two- year-old. His share of the purse was $22,100 and that brought his life time earnings to $30,650. Social Cumberr who finished sec ond to Terrang in the $100,000 Santa Anita Derby this year, was a disappointment and probably now is a doubtful entry for the Preakness. His owner had an nounced that if he made a good showing he would be made $10,000 supplemental nomination for that race.

The other Kentucky Derby nomi-nee in this race was Spinney who finished far back. Eight horses have won racing's Triple the Kentucky Derby, Belmont and Preakness. They were Sir Barton, Galliant Fox, Omaha, War Admiral, Whirl-away, Count Fleet, Assault and Citation. I got out just in tune, says the first baseman who wore his cap at an odd angle. "Cattle prices went down sharply right after I sold my last herd of cat tle." Twenty years ago, when St.

Louis fans sought lo honor Bottomley they asked him what he'd like to have. "I hope you don't think I'm bold," said Bottomley, "but I've been thinking about getting me a good Jersey milker for my farm. Sunny Jim got his cow. It was dubbed Fielder's Choice. He also got four goats, a pig.

two ducks, a bale of hay, a milk bucket and milting stool among other guts Sunny Jim, who grew up in No-komis, and worked 16 hours a day as a blacksmith's helper on the family farm, played his first pro ball with the Cardinal farm club at Sioux City, Iowa, in 1920. After two months he was riven his release as an ward tielder." But be landed with Mitchell, S.D., got some coaching on his fielding, and again drew the attention of the Cardinals. He joined the Cardinals in 1922 ind in 1923, his first full year vith them, he blasted the ball or J71. He hit above .300 in Jin of bis years is tb majors. Any hunter who has suffered out the dreary cold waiting for the honkers to rise from Flathead Valley's Ninepipe and Pablo reser-i voirs knows three great truths: The geese seldom fly out during legal hours, nevef fly over shoot ing pits, and scrupulously avoid hunters once they find out where they are hiding.

State Wildlife Research Biolo gists John Craighead and Dwight -40 pages -of -low-down on the geese of the Flathead, say none of these are necessarily so. How a man may feel about a goose may not be the way the goose returns the compliment. As one of the frozen few who witnessed (out of range) the great Armistice Day, 1955, migration from Pablo, when 2,600 geese left the lake in 48 hours before a bitter wind, this column claims some personal verification or the Craighead Stockstad facts. The same weather swept Ninepipe clean as a wavie's wing. To get back to science, how and where the Flathead geese will move is still largely a frustrating and unpredictable thing, assuring that goose hunting will remain as sporting and as exasperating as ever.

However, there is enough data to prove that last year and the year before 90 per cent of the geese moved out of these two ref uges in broad legal daylight. At the same time, only 38 per cent of these geese flew over hunters during legal hours, Even here, the geese are less to blame than the hunters, because the evidence is that there was so much room between hunters that mere accident of flight kept them out of range. On days when hunt ers were numerous, as high as 70 Manhattan Rules Junior Riflemen BOZEMAN UP) Manhattan Junior Rifle Team No. 1 Saturday won a sectional National Rifle Assn. junior rifle tournament.
