Speidel, who notified the Yuma high'school district of his plan to resign yesterday, said he intends to accept -a position of varsity basketball coach at Helix High School in the Grossmont District of San Diego. He will also teach military science and English HI in the comparatively new San Diego area school.

Announcement of a new replacement is expected to be forthcoming. "I hate to leave Yuma," Speidel said, upon disclosing his inten- tions. "After living here years, I feel that I have made a number of friends. Yuma has a fine faculty and fine student body and I feel that I have gained a lot by working with them.

But I believe that I must take advantage of a better situation such as this opportunity affords."

Sacramento downed San Diego, 3-2, and Tacoma beat Salt Lake, 5-2.

In other games, Spokane's Indians kept close by giving Seattle its fourth straight loss, 4-2, and Portland a the Vancouver Mounties, 15-8. Sacramento's Solons had to work a bit for their victory, scoring the winning runs in the bottom half the llth inning, after San Diego had gone ahead, 2-1, in their half of the inning. The winning run situation was set up by a force-out, a single, a double steal and Al Heist's two Paret, Jordan End Training For Title Fife By JACK CUDDY United Press International LAS VEGAS, Nev.

Unexpectedly, Jordan of Los he is not taking any great risk with his 147 pound crown, here in the city that became America's gambling center during the 50 years that elapsed since Jack Johnson kept the heavyweight crown by knocking out Jim Jeffries at Reno, Ne in 1910.

When rangy, sleepy-eyed Jordan squares off with Paret Friday night; "I think I'll win the fight very easily." he said. If he docs win easily, the victory wilt surprise many watering men who have made challenger Paret a 2-1 favorite. Promoters Mel Greh and Jack Doyle wish that fight fans in Nevada, California and Arizona were as confident of the champion's prowess as Dan claims to be. Because of Jordan's comparatively poor showing at Baltimore against Candy McFarland last week, Conven'ion Hall's 7,300 seats may he only half-filled and the gate may be curtailed, to 545,000.

Don attributed the Thompson kayo to a blood ailment from which he has since recovered. And he blamed his poor Baltimore performance onto the necessity of pacing himself carefully against fast young McFarland, lest, he run out of, gas and be stopped. run single. The earlier runs for joth teams came on solo home runs. Milt Smith hit one in the fourth for the Solons and Floyd Robinson blasted one in the sixth for San Diego.

Marichal got run help from Bob Perry and Bob Farley, who unloaded a pair of hack to back blasts in the fourth inning for Tacoma's second and third runs.

Louis Sees Added Round for Ingemar GROSSINGER. N.Y. fUPD-If master boxing "spy" Joe Louis uncovered any secrets in the training camp of heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson, he's keeping them to himself. Louis, who is advising Floyd Patterson on how to regain crown from Johansson in their June 20 return bout, paid a much- ballyhooed visit to I a r's camp here Tuesday to see what he could see. But the only thing he had to say publicly was that it might take a round longer to whip Johansson than he i figured.

"Ingo is in fine shnpe," reported ex-champ Louis. "Floyd boxes more seriously and seems more serious all around than Johansson. I still think Patterson will win in from seven to 10 rounds well, maybe we'll raise it to 11." Johansson appeared vastly unworried both by Louis' "spying" and his predictions. eight hits over thi seven-inning contest, walking only one. But it was a te.im effort for the most part, with Nigro hit ting a solo homer in tlv third for flip first Telco run and Bill Marqucz hillim: another solo in the foitrti to i Hie score at l'-2.
