arid Lincoln of Seattle Leon Cadore, the man who pitched the longest game in major league baseball history, died yesterday afternoon in the Spokane veterans hospital. He was 66 years old. Cadore's major league record is a strong one. He saw action in 195 major league games, all but three with Brooklyn, winning 68 and losing 72. But it was the Boston game of May 1, 1920, that lifted Cadore from the comparative obscurity of "an old major leaguer" to fame forever in one of the greatest pitching feats of all time.

That game saw Brooklyn's curve-balling Cadore and the Boston Braves' Joe Oeschger pitch 26 innings without relief. It ended in darkness and a 1-1 tie, Played for Gonaga Cadore, who played for Gonzaga university before he hitchhiked back east to get into professional baseball, gave up 15 hits, and the lone Boston run in the sixth inning. Oeschger, who now lives in San Francisco, held uncle Wilbert Robinson's Bums to nine hits, and the run crossed the plate in the fifth inning. The longest linescore in the annals of the majors shows each pitcher wore out one catcher before it was over. Before he entered the veterans hospital for an operation last month, Cadore was living in Hope, Idaho, his first home town out west after he left New York as an orphan of 13.

Brown on First Team By BRUCE CANNON SEATTLE, March was, essentially, a three-man tournament and It's Dwight Damon and Richlands John Meyers were two of the superstars who won the unanimous acclaim of sports writers and sportscasters who covered the If)58 state high school AA meet. The great East Side pair terday received all 63 possible votes in winning places on the 34th all-state team. The other performer who won a spot on everyone's ballot was Lyle Bakken, East Bremerton's sensational forechecker and scorer. The other first team positions went to Richland's flashy C. W.

Brown, who gathered 42 votes, and Lincoln's outstanding pivot man, Roger Niva, a repeater from last year's all-state team. Niva got 41 votes despite playing in only three games. The first Tiger to be an all-stater since Badly Kruger in 1949, Damon played four magnificent games in four gruelling days. He scored 22, 32 (a tourney high), 21 and 24 points for a total of 99, eight points better than runner-up Bakken. DeBoer on 2nd Team Meyers, a giant, 6-6 230-pounder, furnished the inside strength Richland had to have to win the tournament, He scored 65 points, an average of 16.2.

Named on the second team, with the number of votes in parentheses, were: Gary Keister, Anacortes, (28); Dennis Hay, Kent-Meridan. (15); Jim Castleberry, Richland, (15); Roger Gardinier Ellensburg, (13); Dan Stautz, East Bremerton, (11), and Roland DeBoer, Moses Lake, (11). In an unprecedented move, the writers honored Moses Lake star Kay Lybbert with a special selection as "unanimous" honorable mention. Lybbert, who scored 31 points in Moses Lake's opener against East Bremerton, lacerated a tendon in his thumb the next morning and was sidelined for the rest of the tournament. No tournament player who appeared in only one game has ever won an all-state berth.

Twelve players were awarded honorable mention for consistent performance during the big-school classic. They were Bruce Joyce, Kent-Meridian; Stan Stafford, Centralia; sophomore Bob Frick, Richland; Bill Hansen, West Bremerton; Gary Marquissee, Ellensburg; John Riseland, Lincoln; Chris Bone, Roosevelt; Ricki Menti, Moses Lake: Phil Fitterer, Ellens- burg; and Tom Gibbs, Highline. Attendance Record This year's tourney broke all at- tendance records despite a less- than-capacity turnout of 10,000 for last night's final games (which involved East Side schools). Ivan Travis, University of Washington athletic business manager, estimated the four-day paid total was 72,000, well ahead of last year's record 65,897. Official figures will not be available until later this week.

Opening day on Wednesday lured the best turnout, 21,254, which shattered the single-day record. Coaches and writers still buzzed appreciatively today over Richland's ability to hold a tight rein on its speed and yet best Lewis and Clark. Playing an unhurried, controlled game new to them, the Bombers took only 44 shots, made 21 of them for a sizzling .477. Like Rocky Marciano, the Bombers seemed to take something out of every team they beat. Anacortes wasn't the same after its opening loss to Richland, Lincoln dropped its next game after Richland whipped the Lynx, and so did West Bremerton.

LC came a long, long way in giving coach Squinty Hunter his first second-place team in 19 trips to the state tournament. The South Side sage has everyone back next year, except Damon and Wayne Wilson. That means the likes of Bob Joss, Dan Barrett, Kerry Frey and Steve Grover, not to mention a 6-4 prospect, John Stevenson, will be wearing the Orange and Black livery in '59. As for Richland, Frick will no doubt be welcomed with open arms by coach Art Dawald next season. All the other regulars graduate.

Today is generally reserved for Irish gaiety, but one Scot, Spokane Flyer Roy McBride, would be far from dour if his band of hockey players pulled off one small trick on the great saint's day. VII utc balm ucly He pitched on the Brooklyn championship clubs of 1916 and 1920, his career with the team running from 1915 through 1923, when he was traded to Chicago of the American league and finally wound up his active career on the New York Giantsearning a sore armin 1924. Cadore, who married the daughter of the man Brooklyn's Ebbets field is named for, Charles H. Ebbets, was a successful broker on Wall Street from 1925 until the stock market disaster of 1929.

With the depression, he and his wife, Maie, headed back to Hope. They lived there and in Spokane until she died in 1950. Before he was hospitalized for the cancer operation, Cadore had been living at Hope with a retired Pacific Coast league catcher named Ted Mayer. At Brooklyn, Cadore was a roommate of Casey Stengel, and it was Stengel who wired him last month, after the operation: "Hope you catch another row and pitch. another 26-inning game."

it, 1 I 1 second. Richland, ranked No. 3, beat 'em both. Centralia was voted the No. 4 spot, and didn't "place" in the tourney, either.

The poll had East Bremerton picked on the nose, sixth. Sunny-side, ranked seventh and Garfield, eighth, didn't make the tournament. Kent-Meridian, Lewis and Clark and Clarkston were tied with Garfield for eighth place. Kent-Meridian took third at Seattle, and you know what Squinty Hunter's Tigers did. A and Polls Not Too Close, Either In the class 13 poll, Ka lama and Darrington ranked first and second, but Ye lm, rated fifth, won the title over Brewster, which barely earned "mention." Among the class A teams, Highland, Mercer Island and Nooksack Valley led the ballot Mount Baker, entirely overlooked in the poll, was the champion over Okanogan, which came out fourth in the state-wide ballot.

As long as we're canvassing the polls, a squint at the Associated Press voting for the top college teams finds that one faring perhaps a little better. Left in the National Collegiate tournament semis, which begin Friday in Louisville, are surprising Seattle, Kansas State, Kentucky and Temple. Seattle ranked 18th in the final AP vote; Kansas State third; Kentucky ninth and Temple fifth. I had San Francisco, Cincinnati, Kansas State and Temple in the first four places on my contributing ballot. The nationwide vote had it West Virginia, Cincinnati, Kansas State and San Francisco.

I outguessed the AP on 'Kentucky anyway. They had 'em ranked ninth, just behind Notre Dame. I had 'em in sixth, two rungs above the Irish, and it was Kentucky 89, Notre Dame 56, on Saturday night. Guessing games are fun. So I'll go with Kansas State to beat, Seattle, Elgin and all, and Temple (it has Guy Rodgers)1 to nudge Kentucky on Friday night in Louisville.

On Saturday night? The tall Kansans to win it over Temple and Seattle to take Kentucky in the consolation game. Chiefsat LastProve "Tournament Tough" The sentimental choice would be Seattle. The Chiefs, historically, have come up empty in basketball tournaments, but this year they came throughthe hard wayin the last moments 69-67 nudging of San Francisco and the overtime 66-62 win over California. Skipping to the pros, briefly: Phil Jordon, the former Whitworth center, yesterday scored 10 points as a second-string forward as Detroit eliminated Cincinnati from the National Basketball association semifinal play-offs. This afternoon at the air national guard hangar at Geiger air force base, they'll lower the Rolls-Merlin engine into the Miss Spokane hull, passing another milestone on the way to getting her into the water early next month.

Crew chief George Alexieve said the next phase after engine Installation would be checking the big hydroplane for proper weight and balance. "First we've got to find her center of gravity," said Alexieve, "and then we've got to make sure she's balanced precisely. Ilow do we do it? It's a bit complicated. First we take air force weight and balance formulae, and convert 'em for use on the boat. Then, using a slide rule and some tables we'll develop, we.

We'd just better leave it to George and his crew. Peak-Performance Prop for Miss Spokane They're recommending that Miss Spokane use a propeller of some 13 inches in diameter, and with blades set for a "bite" of 22 inches per revolution. A propeller with that muchtthrust is close to the maximum, but Alexieve believes Miss Spokane's fine power plant, coupled with her comparatively light weight, will allow her to use the high-thrust propeller. "Matter of fact," he said, "if you use a prop with less bite and higher revolutions per minute, you'll find your propeller. tip speed going past the speed of sound, and that ain't good.

At supersonic speeds, those props sometimes just fold over and give up."

Centralia was I didn't "place" in the tourney, either. Tton picked on the nose, sixth. Sunny-' id Garfield, eighth, didn't make the That trick would be a victory over the Rossland Warriors in the Warriors' home rink tonight. So many of the Flyer games have fallen in the crucial category lately that it's beginning to get redundant to say that an upcoming contest is critical. But this one is another vital battle to both teams.

So vital, in fact, that McBride may haul his shiny green tie out of retirement in order to bring the team luck on the Hibernian holiday. The Western International league finalists will be playing their third game of the best-of-seven series and the team that wins will be In good shape, especially if that team is Rossland. The first two games of the series were played in Spokane, but the next four are scheduled for north of the border.

Coeur d'Alene won the north Idaho class AAA crown Saturday night, defeating Orofino 58-50. The night before, Snake River dropped Pocatello, last year's state cham. pion, 49-38, for the southern Idaho title.

Tops for Capacity New box seats in Multnomah stadium will hike the seating accommodations to 29,000, making the Bevo citadel the top one in minor league baseball from a capacity standpoint. So much for personnel and office changes. How about the club itself? As of right now, the Beavers have fair pitching and a top-flight outfield.

The catching can stand help and the infield, as it stands, could use a guy like Jack Lottrell at shortstop. The Cubs, it is said, hope to make a pitcher out of the Kentuckian. Beaver fansand Heathhope they make a shortstop for the Beavers. The club has 16 pitchers on its roster. The old hands are Jansen and two other former Seattle fling-era, George Munger and Howie Judson.

John Buzhardt, with Memphis and Des Moines last year, and Al Lary, 1540 with Memphis, shape up as likely starters among the newcomers. Moore May Prove Prize The outfield looks best of all, though, with Luis Marquez and Bob Borkowski back from last year, plus Tom Clarkson, who hit .324 in 15 late-season games. Bruce McIntosh comes up from Lewiston of the Northwest league and Bob Coats, once with Los Angeles, comes from Memphis, where he hit .327. The prize package may bo Wiley Moore, a right-hand hitter drafted from Dallas of the Texas league. Not a power hitter, he Was tough with men on base, batting .308 and driving in 81 runs.

With two good pitchers, some infield help and a catcher, the Beavers might go far in 1958. As Heath, a philosopher, points out, "We can go only one way, up, if we go at all."

The Portland baseball club survived an eighth-place final in the 1957 Pacific Coast league pennant race and a directors' squabble which made local headlines. It has a new general manager-manager, a new assistant general manager, three new members on the board of directors and, it hopes, a newer and closer et) with the Chicago Cubs.

For the record, Tommy Heath is the new general manager-field manager, Bill Brenner the new assistant general manager and Bill Moore, Henry Mason and Don Walker are the new directors. Gone from the 1957 picture are Joe Ziegler, the club's general manager for two and a half years; Bill Posedel, a fellow who replaced the late Bill Sweeney as field boss early in the 1957 season; Bill Mulflur, Ziegler's assistant, and three directorsClay Brown, Cal Souther and Ted Gamble. Can Heath Lead the Way? The board of directors' battle is a thing of the past. So, too, are the departed front office officials. This is a new season with the usual new and high hopes and the fervent belief that "Round Man" Tommy Heath can be the Moses who leads the Beavers out of the baseball wilderness.

The front office has pitched into the ticket sales campaign with an enthusiasm unmatched in the league. Thanks to the board of directors' battle, the sale was launched in January instead of October. But already it has topped the $78,000 mark. That in itself indicates baseball hereabouts isn't as defunct as the dodo bird. Heath has left for Brawley, where the Bevos will train SNOW BASIN.

Utah, March 16. RIBeverly Anderson, flashy skier from Mu Idaho, skimmed in first in a weather-shortened downhill race today to score a clean sweep of the National Alpine ski championships. Her winning time of one 37.5 seconds was a full three seconds ahead of Mary Alice Morrow, Boulder, the second place finisher at 1:40.5. Added to her first-place finishes in Friday's giant slalom and yesterday's slalom events, today's finish automatically gave Miss Anderson the Alpine's women's combined title. The outcome was less clear cut among the men, where William Smith of Hanover, N.

won today's men's downhill. Meet officials spent a couple of extra hours toting up the points to arrive at the men's combined winner. Smith's winning time, 1:29.0, was a scant .3 second ahead of the downhill's second placer, Gary Vaughan of Norwich, Conn. Tom Bab ler of Portland, placed third less than a second back at 1:29.8. Today's race was delayed by falling snow, and two or three times the suggestion was made that the race be canceled because of deep new snow.

Some 14 inches of new snow fell since last night. The three-day event has been dogged by weather ever since it began. It was at another portion of Snow basin that snow slides killed two skiers last week end.

A Friday game is scheduled at Trail and either Ross land or Trail will be the site Saturday. A seventh game, if needed, may come back to Spokane.

So the Flyers have their work cut out for them. They have to beat the Warriors on foreign ice. And Ross land has been tough in its frigid little rink. The Warriors took the Flyers six of eight times during the regular season while finishing second to Spokane in league standings. But the Flyers go north this morning on the upbeat after Saturday night's 6-0 shellacking of the Canadian team.

McBride displayed a mighty cheerful tone as he talked of plans for upsetting the Warriors' apple cart. "I'm going to keep Johnny Goodwin on the line with Dave Gordichuk and Tick Beattie. I wouldn't want to change anything there. (This line scored five of Spokane's six goals Saturday as Goodwin made his first appearance as center on And I'll bring Bryan Whittal back to center the kid line.

It was amazing that a team which looked so tired Friday night while losing, 4-3, in overtime to Rossland, was able to turn about and come back with a first class effort.

Use of the "body" in hard but clean checks undobtedly helped the Spokes slow down the Warriors. Big Larry Plante caught Frankie Turik of Rossland with one belt that left Turik "looking for that truck" for several minutes. And Frank Kubasck, ordinarily not a hitter, dumped Warrior defense man Don Fletcher hard and handsomely.
