CARL PORTER ASST. SPORTS EDITOR End Of The Olympic Line All season you figure all the possible angles, combinations and possibilities until you get downright dizzy. Hence, it's almost a relief to we track and fidd faithful today to come to the end of the line. The joy ride is over. Those who haven't paid the price get off at Randalls Island in New York City today.

The others stay on for at least one more stopover-the final Olympic qualifying trials at Los Angeles Sept. 12-13--and may make the trip all the way to Tokyo. Among that number should be a pair of dedicated athletes who spent their collegiate careers thrilling University of Arizona followers, broad jumper Gayle Hopkins and steeplechaser George Young. Hopkins should know his fate by to- night. Young by tomorrow night.

Hoppy, of course, is one of the leading contenders to join the great Ralph Boston in the U.S. Olympic broad-jumping corps. Already this year, Hopkins has gotten off a fabulous leap--ranking him the third longest jumper in world history behind Boston and world record holder Igor Ter-Ovanesyan of Russia. In fact, prior to his unexpected fifth-place finish (with a 25-9 jump) at the AAU championships last week, Hopkins had loomed as the world's second best long jumper this year, next to the incomparable Boston. Six Of World's Seven Best Most encouraging, from Hoppy's point of view, might be the fact that no one in the country had beaten him this year, with the exception of Boston, prior to the AAU meet.

And after today's meet he should be more than an Olympic possibility. He should be either a probability-or an also ran. The winner of the broad jump at Randalls Island today is automatically on the U. S. team, barring injury, illness or complete loss of form between now and the final September trials.

The next five finishers today will vie in September for the other two U. S. berths. Thus, anything less than a finish among the top six will be disastrous for Hoppy. And just to make the challenge a little tougher, the athletes in trials number six of the seven best jumpers in the world thus far this year.

They include, in order, Boston (27-2V4), Hopkins (26-914), Charlie Mays 2 Godfrey Moore 2 Sid Nickolas and Darrell Horn (26-Oy 2 )--all 26- footers! The only other jumper to clear 26 feet this year has been Lynn Davies of England (26-314), and he was no better than sixth in last week's AAU meet. Even if Hoppy fails to qualify among the top six today, he still has a crack at making the Yank team in the triple jump--an event scheduled tomorrow. And Curiously enough, that was the event UA Coach Carl Cooper had considered to be Hopkins' best up until the middle of the season. Then Hoppy suddenly blossomed from a fair triple jumper among America's generally second-rate hop- steppers to being an outstanding broad jumper among this nation's great exponents of the art. Young May Go For Broke Arizona fans will also be keen on the outcome of the steeplechase in which Young may well go for broke and a sure Olympic berth tomorrow.

George has been training harder than ever this year after a career that has seen him set an American record of 8:38.0 in between discouraging setbacks such as ulcers and pneumonia and a history of tripping over hurdles at crucial times (such as the 1960 Olympics at Rome). But his courage is an awesome thing at times and there is some suspicion that he was only running for a qualifying spot last week when he finished second to Jeff Fishback in the. AAU meet. Then, too, there are a couple more ex-UA athletes in sprinter Larry Dunn and steeplechaser Ray Hughes (although both appear to be out-classed), along with such Arizona-known super stars as Henry Carr, Ulis Williams, Dallas Long, Adolph Plummer, Bob Tobler, Bernie Rivers, Frank Covelli, etc. Smith's Done It Again! AL Cinderella Bombs Orioles By Associated Press Willie Smith, baseball's new est Cinderella, hasn't turne into a pumpkin after all.

Smith, who stepped off th pitchers' mound into a sluggin outfielder's role, clouted grand slam homer in the nint inning that boosted the Los An geles Angels to a 10-6 triump over the American League-lead ing Baltimore Orioles last nigh' Smith also belted a single an two doubles and drove in tw other runs as the Angels brok their five-game losing streak. The 25-year-old wizard, wh didn't do much for the Angel with his pitching arm, wo three consecutive games wit his bat during the team's recen 11-game winning streak. AFTER THE amazing ou burst, though, Smith tailed considerably, as if midnight ha struck. Before yesterday's gam he had only five hits in his las 27 times at bat. Worse, he man aged only two hits in 16 time at bat during the Angels' losin streak.

The sudden slum dropped his average from season's high of .340 to .286. Just as suddenly, though, Wi lie rediscovered his glass slip per, or bat, and shattered th Orioles. He popped out in th first inning, then: Doubled home the AngeL first run in the fourth; ignite a two-run rally with a leadof single in the sixth; double across another run in the sev enth and connected off ace re liever Stu Miller with the base loaded in the ninth for his fourt home run. HIS HIT and RBI productio was his biggest for one gam and increased his average .317 and his RBI total to 23-21 coming in the last 17 games Elsewhere in the America League, New York nipped Kan sas City 4-3 in 15 innings, Min nesota outslugged Boston 15- and Detroit mauled Clevelan 9-1. Miller, now 4-2, hadn't los since April 28.

Albie Pearso opened the Angels' ninth wit a single, went to second on Mi: ler's throwing error and too: third on a walk. Smith the blasted his first major leagu grand slam. HECTOR LOPEZ drilled i bases loaded single in the 15tl inning for the Yankee's victory Mickey Mantle triggered th winning rally with a tripl while two intentional walks Dan Pfister filled the bases. The Yankees tied the gam 3-3 on Bobby Richardson' leadoff homer in the eighth Mantle drove in York's firs two runs with a fifth-inning dou ble. Rocky Colavito scored th Athletics' first run in their two- run second and tripled home run in the third.

Minnesota mauled the Red Sox for the second straight day Don Mincher led the assault driving in five runs with i three-run homer and a single Tony Oliva had three hits, in eluding a three-run homer in the first inning. Jim Kaat won tiis ninth game against three losses. Mickey Lolich held the Indi ans to five hits as they los their sixth straight game. The Tigers scored five runs in the second inning, three on a homer by Gates Brown. Cleveland scored in the second on Chico Salmon's double following two-out error by Dick McAul iffe.

SPORTS CALENDAR TONIGHT Arizona District Semipro Baseball Tournament. Two games each at Rita and Ki Corbett fields. racing at Tucson Speedway. TOMORROW 7: M--Auto racing at Tucson TO DRAW 100,000 Phils Invade SF For Big Series SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Philadelphia's surprising Phillies challenge the San Francisco Giants for leadership of the National League this weekend in a crucial series which should draw 100,000 fans to Candlestick Park. Going into the three-game set starting tonight, the Phillies stand iy 2 games behind the Giants after San Francisco edged Pittsburgh 6-5 and Philadelphia beat the Dodgers 3-2 in Los Angeles.

Last time they met, the Phils led the league going into the set and emerged trailing the Giants after San Francisco swept a three-game series in Philadelphia. Gene Mauch and his young challengers aim to return the favor in Candlestick. In two years, the Phillies have Become serious pennant threats and as such attract fans. In 1962, instance, the Giants played Philadelphia over the weekend of June 29 July 1. Those three games drew 40,416.

Ticket manager Peter Hoffman says that judging from ad- vance sale and telephone interest, "we anticipate an attendance of 100,000 or higher for these three games." Rookie right-hander Ron Herbel drew the San Francisco pitching assignment from Manager Alvin Dark as the bespectacled youngster goes after his seventh victory against three setbacks. Ray Gulp (4-6) was the Phillies' choice. Herbel, who has won his last two starts, hasn't pitched against the Phillies. The Giants go into the series having won 12 of their last 14 games and seven of eight on the current home stands which concludes with the Philadelphia series. They swept four from Los Angeles to overtake the Phils, split with New York and then took a pair from Pittsburgh.

Willie Mays, forced out of action by an upset stomach after scoring the first Giant run, is expected back in the lineup tonight FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1964 PAGE 18 Emerson's Play Wins BILL CHEESBOURG Cross-country tiger purring SPORTSTER IDEAL FOR HIMTING --Citizen Photo by Dan Tortorell Cheesbourg Tries Out Versatile New Cross-Country VW Buggy By BILL DAVIDSON A new kind of cross-country vehicle which also provides highway readability is being proved out by Tucson race-car driver Bill Cheesbourg. For years better known for his Indianapolis 500 and other racing-car stints, Cheesbourg is now putung the California-bred Empi-Sportster through its paces very literally. The Empi is basically a late model Volkswagen with a rugged-country-travel body. It will, Cheesbourg swears, go anywhere a four-wheel drive vehicle will, but without requiring anything other than a standard VW transmission and rear- wheel drive. The Sportster will stand highway speeds up to 80 miles an hour, the veteran race-car chauffeur says.

But it's best in box canyons, slantwise across slopes or wallowing gustily through sand washes--as the day Cheesbourg showed it to some newsmen on a trial spin through the Rillito River. Cheesbourg has one demonstrator in use out of his garage at E. Lee and Columbus Blvd. He's building four others, including a couple with body variations and minor alterations otherwise. Basically, though, the Cheesbourg assembled Empi is a VW with a 12-inch-shortened wheelbase, relatively minor adjustments on the exposed (rear) engine (nine per cent more efficiency), big rear tires, special shock absorbers and a hunting- sport style open body.

It has two front seats, but variations can be rigged for extra space in the rear. Cheesbourg can supply either Empi kits available for installation on Volkswagen chassis or the entire package all put together. "So far," Cheesbourg said yesterday, "I haven't been able to wreck it. "In fact," he said a little wearily, "I haven't even managed to turn it over." Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, Emerson, 28-year- old Australian tennis star, won the Wimbledon men's singles championship today on his 10th attempt. He defeated Fred Stolle, a fellow Australian, 6-4, 12-10, 4-6, 6-3.

WHAT'S WRONG? Spahn Fails Braves, Self By Associated Press Where has Warren's Wonder gone? For the ninth consecutive time Warren The Wonder Spahn, Milwaukee's 43-year-old pitching marvel, trudged from the mound yesterday after failing to finish what he started as the Braves lost to St.

Louis 4-3. So, within hours, Milwaukee fans were forced to wonder whether the Braves were ready to hit the road and whether Spahn had reached the end of it. FIRST CAME still another report that the Braves would be playing in Atlanta next year. And then Spahn went out to the mound against the Cardinals, looking for his first victory in a month and his first complete since May 19. Instead, the winningest left- lander in major league history was knocked out in the seventh nning and tagged with his third straight loss.

He now is bogged down with a 5-8 record and a staggering 4.89 earned run average. But what was most indicative of Spahn's problems was his continuing failure to register a complete game. The 13-time, 20- game winner, whose career record stands at 355 victories and 224 losses, holds a major league record for complete games, hav- ng led the National League in hat department nine times. WHILE SPAHN'S ineffective- ness continued to plague tfo a the first-place San Francisco Giants suffered a temporary set-back when Willi Mays was sidelined in the firs inning against Pittsburgh be cause of an upset stomach. With Willie absent, Orlando Cepeda took command, slugged a two-run homer and launched a five-run sixth inning rally tha beat the Pirates 6-5.

The victory kept the Giants games in front of the Philadelphia Phillies, who edged the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2. Elsewhere, Cincinnati defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-0 behind Jim Maloney's four-hit pitching and Houston made the most five New York errors for a victory over the Mets. The Pirates led 2-1 when Willie McCovey singled in the sixth and Cepeda followed with his 14th homer, putting the Giants ahead. BEFORE THE inning was over three more runs came in on singles by Jim Hart, Jose Pagan, Jesus Alou and Ha" Lanier, a walk and a wild pitch.

Kelso Vies For Fifth 'Best' Title By Associated Press Kelso reaches the crossroads of his brilliant career tomorrow. The American turf's four-time horse of the year needs a victory in the 78th running of the Suburban Handicap at Aqueduct to remain in running for an unprecedented fifth straight title.

The 7-year-old gelding from Mrs. Richard C. duPont's Bohemia Stable heads a probable field of eight in the race which tops the national Fourth of July card. With eight starters, the winner's share of the $110,000 purse will be worth $71,500. That means Kelsa could move within $86,917 of matching Round Table's all-time money winning record of $1,749,869.

Kelso has earned $1,591,452. OTHER RICH events on tomorrow's program include the American Handicap at Hollywood Park, the Stars and i Handicap at Arlington Park, the Lamplighter Handicap at Monmouth Park, the Dover Stakes for 2-year-olds at Delaware Park, Ak-Sar-Ben Handicap at Ak-Sar-Ben in Omaha, and the $15,000 Mayflower Stakes at Suffolk Downs. Although he has only one winning effort to show for three starts this year and packs top weight of 131 pounds, Kelso is ikely to be the luke-warm Suburban favorite. It is the lightest load he ever las carried in the handicap classic. He won with 133 in 1961 and 63 and finished second to Beau Purple under 132 in 1962.

Ismael Valenzuela, as usual, will be in Kelso's saddle. THE GRAND old gelding's chief opposition is expected to come from Rex Ellsworth's Olden Times, who picks up 128 pounds including Willie Shoemaker. The California 6-year-old is in running for the handicap division title with victories in the llinois, Metropolitan and Churchill Downs Handicaps in his ast three starts. The race lost a little of its nterest when trainers withdrew two top flight 3-year-olds--Bel- Tiont Stakes winner Quadrangle and speedy Malicious. Mr.

Consistency, winner of 337,750 this year with most of at Santa Anita, packs top weight of 124 pounds in the 8 miles of the American Handi- ap. He'll give four to Native Diver and Mustard Plaster. The miles of the Stars and stripes on Arlington's grass ourse figures to attract 12 old- horses with Admiral Vic the ighweight under 122 pounds. Lt. Stevens, winner of his last ix starts including the Saranac Aqueduct, will have his job ut out for him in the 1 M6 miles of the Lamplighter for 3- ear olds.

He'll carry, 119 ounds, three less than Calumet's top weighted Kentucky "8- Olympic Berths On Line NEW YORK UPI Twenty former Olympians, led by two- time discus champion Al Oerter and broad jumper Ralph Boston, open a two-day struggle today to keep their hopes alive for berths on the 1964 U.S. Olympic track and field team. Winners of the 17 events at Randalls Island Stadium today and Saturday almost certainly will make the plane to Tokyo in October, although they'll have to prove they're still In shape in final trials at Los Angeles Sept. 12-13. Today's events will be shown on a special hour-long television show at 6:30 (Tucson time) on Channel 9 tonight.

THE FIRST six finishers in each New York event qualify for the Los Angeles trials. Any New York winner who comes up with an illness, injury or otherwise is out of condition could be bumped off the plane to Tokyo after an unsatisfactory performance at Los Angeles. "We approved this setup so we could have our strongest possible team in the 1964 Olympic games," said President Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson of the U.S. Olympic Committee.

"We're at the end of our regular track season now and this is the only way we can be sure our top men stay in top condition for the new season beginning in October." FOR OLD campaigners i Oerter, Boston and hammer thrower Harold Connolly, dedicated athletes who have been through the mill, a victory in the New York trials undoubtedly would cinch another trip overseas. Connolly, a 32-year-old hammer champ at the 1956 Olympics, and Boston, 1960 broad jump champ at Rome, were among the ex-Olympians shooting for victories in eight final events today. Also scheduled on the opening program were finals in the high jump, javelin, shot put, 5,000 meter run, 100 meter dash and 400 meter hurdles. The discus was among nine events scheduled Saturday. A sellout crowd of 18,000 packed Wimbledon's center court to watch the match, which was interrupted by rain three times during the second set.

Emerson, the top-seeded player, has competed at Wimbledon every year but one since 1954. He never had reached the final before. Stolle also was runner-up last losing to Chuck McKinley of San Antonio, in the final. He beat McKinley in this year's semifinals. Emerson was the seventh Australian to win the title in the last nine years.

Six of the finals in that time have been all-Australian affairs. The match was spread over 2 hours, 50 minutes, with a total 30 minutes lost because of rain. Defending champion Margaret Smith of Australia will meet Maria Bueno of Brazil, reigning U.S. champion, for the women's crown tomorrow.
