But we couldn't help regarding Jim Helgens as our favorite That's why we, an unusually hard jolt Thursday I morning when we learned Jim was killed in a truck 1 'A crasn at Marsnautown. pr-i jc Ex-Champs Aim at Linn In City Am By Gus Schrader Gaiette Sports Editor Although three of the top four golfers at the halfway mark have never won a city Amateur championship, it's too early to count out some of the former title-holders as the field descends on Indian Creek's exacting little course Saturday.

Top man right now is Bill Linn, the popular Jbnes park puncher, who was the only man to break par at Elm-crest last Sunday with a 69. Bill has 142, one over par for 36 holes, and leads Don Bergman of Ellis by a single stroke, Jim Aossey, who steadfastly maintains he has a strong chance to win the tourney this year and is backing it up with some fine golf so far, is tied for i wnai ao you tmnK bdoui Jc 1 wnen sucn siCKenine news i vv-. -v i i iiiwiimii imai iiiiiiui hi i minim i i i mi mm iimi i i 6-Game Loss String Home A Cedar. Rapids baseball team that has lost six straight games and dropped back to. ninth place in the Midwest league came home Friday to face Waterloo in a two-game stand.

Waterloo swept the two-game series at' Waterloo by winning Thursday night's contest 8-1. Jt will be night" at the park Friday night, with the Eagles lodge Indian dancers per forming at 7 p.m. before the 7:30 game. The firemen are hoping their good luck charm will help snap the local club's streak, as they claim Cedar Rapids has never lost on one of the firemen's nights. Eagle Food Center-KCRG if It I 1 -TZTZT mm Tjfr.ifeJ i I arrives? Well, our first hope was that it was some kind of terrible mistake.

How could Jim Helgens, the I strong, handsome, eager youngster who enjoyed life so much, suddenly be anything but alive? When that chance faded, we asked the same question you always ask when someone near and dear to you is suddenly taken: Why did it have to i be Jim? We asked the same question years ago when our kid brother died also at 21. Jim was a kid on the Gaieltt Photo by John Mclvor DARROW DUNKS BIRDIE IN SEARCH OF TITLE Glenn Darrow (left and inset) drilled in this short shot from off the green for a birdie-three on the 18th hole at Elmcrest last Sunday. It gave him par round of 70 and put him into a three-way tie for fifth in the City Amateur, thfee strokes back of Bill Linn, the 36-hole leader with 142. Center is Bill Reed, defending champ who is tied for third at 144. At right is Don Bergman, who also birdied the hole and is second with 143.

Tourney observers still like the chances of Reed, the man w.no gave pro Ken Ven-turi the driving and scoring lesson (67 to 69) at Elmcrest last October. The 1961 champ formerly played his golf at Indian Creek, so he knows some of the secrets of scoring well there.

In addition to Reed, there are only two other champs in the running who won titles jn the last eight years. One is Mike O'Don-nell, who shares fifth place with Bob Stephenson and Glenn Darrow at 145, only three strokes behind. Mike won the City Am in 1957 and 1959. He's not out of six hits the rest of the way Juan Marichal (11-5) was the Eagle managers and KCKu disc jockeys are planned.

Cedar Rapids scored its run first Thursday night. John May led off with a double and scored on Ron Mor-rissette's boot of Vern Ag-new's grounder. Waterloo tied the count In the second and took a 2-1 lead in the third. Mike Ryan hit his seventh homer of the season in the sixth, and Tom Yost belted his sixth in the seventh inning to touch off a four-run rally that chased starter Haze Maclntyre. Don Salomon finished.

Vince Ferguson led Cedar Rapids with a double and two singles. has put Don Derr.eter on the road to success. And, at the moment, the Dodgers couldn't be happier over the long ride that changed the prom loser. Demeter, meanwhile, has become the Phils' top power producer. He got the Phils started 2 gainst the Giants with a sec-nd inning homer, then hit a two-run shot in the seventh that snapped a 2-2 tie and ended San Francisco's five-game victory string.

Besides the games involving the leaders, only one innings and four hours and nine minutes to grab the chance, finally subduing the stubborn New York Mets 5-4 when Frand Howard doubled Jim Gilliam home with the winning run. That gave the Dodgers a half-game edge over the ising outfielder from an ex pendable to an untouchable. The 27 -year -old right- ine winner came across for the Dodgers when Gilliam opened with a walk off Ken MacKenzie (2-3), moved to second as Willie Davis grounded out and raced home runnerup Giants. handed swinger gave his former Dodger mates an assist Thursday, powering two homers as the Phillies whipped San Francisco, 7-2, The Dodgers sent Demeter other was scheduled in the on Howard's hit.

He used to stop up to The Gazette sports department when in town visiting his aunt.

He loved sports of all kinds, even sitting around and talk-. ing about anything athletic under the suji. He and his Monti buddies gave us a big thrill in the 1960 basketball race. We'll never forget what a manly bunch they were in defeat when they finally tost to Marshalltown, the eventual state champion. We were flattered when Jim asked us if he ought to go to Iowa.

Some of his friends were advising him to pick a smaller college, hinting he couldn't make the football team at Iowa. That was all the challenge a young man like Jim needed. He wasn't awed by out-of-state players with big reputations. The alert, smiling youngster had shoul-' dered his way through the crowd to the top, and then was struck down at a Marshalltown street intersection. Jim's passing was another severe jolt to the Iowa football team, but nobody thought much about that Thursday.

We don't have words to console Jim's parents after a loss like that. Archie Kodros came pretty close Thursday when he said, "Jim is the kind of boy all parents hope their sons grow up to be like." Pass the Hash "My short game is the thing that's helping me score better," says Bill Linn, the 42-year-old manager of Myers-Cox tobacco wholesale business. Bill is leading the City Am with a 142. one over par for 36 holes. Observers are predicting Bill or one of his rivals will break the tourney record of 289 strokes.

"I was a lousy chipper and a lousy putter until a week ago," confesses Linn. "Then I got some great advice on my short game from Clark Toussaint, and suddenly I became a tiger around the greens. I've also got a new outlook on the game. I used to be trying too hard to win. Now I'm just out there relaxed, and if I hit a bad shot it doesn't worry me.

This is the first tournament I ever entered that I felt that way about, and it seems to be helping." M-J fans may have wondered why Harold "Pinky" Primrose, manager of Midwest Janitor's first-half champions, was late arriving at Daniels park for Thursday's game. He had just taken his wife to the hospital. When Pinky did arrive, he managed the Janitors to victory, and even pitched two innings. Then he returned to the hospital, where his wife presented him with a 7-pound and 14-ounce daughter. Standings MIDWEST LEAGUE Pet.
