Preu, Bob Seagren Heads For Record Seagren Clears EUGENE, Ore. few years back after he cleared 17 feet in the pole vault for the first time, Bob Seagren predicted 18 feet was a strong possibility. And now that he has cleared 18 feet, and in fact for another world record at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials, Bob says a 19-foot vault is imminent. Seagren took the world record to within six inches of 19 feet under near-perfect weather conditions Sunday as America's track stars continued to shatter old standards and threaten others in a smashing performance but he did a good job of masking his feelings.

"I'll tell you," said the handsome 1968 Olympic champion, "This has been an emotional day. I'm unbelievably tired, simply drained and this won't all sink in for a while." "I honestly don't think my record will last long," he said. "A 19-foot vault is near. I think I could have had a good chance at it this time, if the competition hadn't lasted so long and it had been earlier in the day." Seagren took only six leaps all day. He passed at two lower heights and then went over on the first try at and He missed twice at and then made it on the third try for the record.

"I felt good despite the emotional factor," said Seagren, "but in this sort of competition it's important to make it over on the first try. Still on my record try, I didn't have one of my better vaults. "I didn't have good speed but I got a good pole plant. Then I started losing momentum as I got close to the bar but somehow found it again with a second effort. I think I brushed the bar with my arm but it stayed up there." Seagren and Kjell Isaksson of Sweden shared the old mark at 18-4V4 set on May 23 in a special head-to-head tussle at El Paso, Tex.

Seagren said he plans to take things easy for a while and then pick up the pace again leading to the Munich games in late August. Nothing, they say, repeats itself like history, and in Seagren's case it's a point well Baseball Standings National League East w. I. pel.

Four years ago at the Olympic trials at South Lake Tahoe, Bob took the world record of 17-9 and then went to Mexico City and won the Olympic gold medal with a vault of "I hope it's a repeat," he smiled. "I couldn't ask for more." In the vault competition, Seagren, Steve Smith of Long Beach State, Jan Johnson of Alabama and Dave Roberts of Rice, the AAU and NCAA champ, all cleared and the bar was raised to Johnson and Smith cleared it to become the fifth and sixth men in the world in the 18-foot club but Roberts failed and thus was left off the Olympic team. The pole vault was by far the most exciting event on Sunday's five final-events show.

Ralph Mann, the former Brigham Young star, took second billing when he set an American record of 48.4 in winning the 400-meter hurdles. Richard Bruggeman of the Ohio track club was second in 48.6 and Jim Seymour of the Southern California striders was third in 49.3 to also win Olympic berths. Doug Brown of Tennessee and Steve Savage of the Oregon track club were second and third in the steeplechase, Jeff Galloway of the Florida track club and Jon Anderson of the Oregon track club chased Shorter across the line in the 10,000, and Milt Sonsky of the New York ac and Fred Luke of the Husky MS on the Olympic team Sunday for a total of the discus (211-2). Logansport Legion Loses STEINMAN Logansport American Legion baseball team gave up three runs in the fourth inning here Sunday afternoon and lost to Remington in a league affair 31.

STEINBERGER CONSTRUCTION 1333 Smith St. Logonsport Dial 753-4944 Chisox Split, Cubs Lose Thanks to the three-hit pitching of Bill Bradley and Terry Forster, the Chicago White Sox are only three and a half games out of first place in the Western division.

Bradley, with relief help from Forster, picked up his 10th victory Sunday as the Sox downed the Minnesota Twins 2-1 in the nightcap of a doubleheader. The Twins behind Jim Kaat won the opener 6-4. The victory left the Sox three and a half games behind league leading Oakland. Minnesota is seven and a half games back. The Cubs, meanwhile, bowed to the Eastern division leading Pittsburgh Pirates falling games behind.

The Sox never trailed in the second game. They scored both runs in the third when Rich Morales singled, Pat Kelly doubled and Dick Allen singled. Three Minnesota pitchers held the Sox to six hits and combined for 14 strikeouts. The only Twin run came in the seventh inning when Rich Reese belted his second homer of the season. In the first game, Kaat (10-2) and reliefer Wayne Granger held the Sox to seven hits.

Meanwhile, Bobby Darwin collected three singles, drove in two runs and scored another to pace the Minnesota attack. The Twins knocked out starter and loser Wilbur Wood (12-8) in the fourth on a walk and three singles as they scored three times to make the score 42. The Sox had given Wood the lead by scoring two unearned runs in the first on Carlos May's single. Minnesota added single runs in the fifth and seventh. The final Sox runs came in the eighth on two doubles and a single.

The Montreal Expos beat the Mets, 4-3, the Cincinnati Reds routed the San Diego Padres, 12-2, the Houston Astros defeated the Atlanta Braves, 5-4, the San Francisco Giants romped over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-3, and the St. Louis Cardinals topped the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-3, in other NL games. Rookie Bob Rauch walked four batters in the ninth inning to force in the winning run for the Expos and suffer his first loss as a Met. The Mets scored three runs in the top of the inning to tie the score with the key hits doubles by John Milner and Wayne Garrett and a single by Willie Mays. Mike Marshall, who pitched only 1-3 of an inning, received credit for his fifth win for the Expos.

Homers by Johnny Bench, Cesar Geronimo and Tony Perez made it easy for the Reds' Gary Nolan to win his llth game of the year. Perez' homer was the big blow of a game clinching eight-run eighth-inning rally while Bench hit his 21st of the season and raised his RBI total to 61. Both are tops in the majors. Mike Corkins lost his fourth game for San Diego. Doug Rader scored an unearned run on Tommy Helms' sacrifice fly in the eighth inning earning the Astros' Tom Griffin his third win.

Pitcher Dave Roberts hit the season his second homer for the Astros and hits in seven inning; but had to retire when he inju ed himself while running the liases.
