Thursday, May 17, 1956 Santa Cruz Santlnel-News-fl liryDims CSnolDeimge Tirojoons Tircaclk Sypireinniacy Trapped Rafer Johnson Is Key Eight Records Could Fall In Pacific Coast Meet By Jack Stevenson Berkeley (A.P.). Eight meet records appeared in danger of possible extinction tomorrow and Saturday as the Southern California Trojans try to defend their perennial title in the Pacific Coast conference track and field championships. Performers in this Olympic year -coast meeting could better records in the 880, mile and two-mile, the two dashes, low hurdles, mile relay and the broad jump. That all will fall is improbable. That some will, during Baseball Roundup Unearned Runs Keep Bums1 6-Game Win Streak Alive By Ed Wilks The Associated Press That's some pennant race in the National league.

Nobody can win on the road and the latest sustained drive by a contender has been kept alive with the help of nine unearned runs in two games against another flag hopeful. Brooklyn, hinting it finally may have started a move for a repeat pennant, now has a six-game winning streak. No club in the NL has won more in a row and by rights the Dodgers shouldn't have won that many. Cards To Play 'Spoilers' In League Game The Santa Cruz Cards have been cast in the role of "spoilers" tomorrow when they meet the Salinas Cowboys in a CCAL game at Harvey West stadium. GJrme time is 3:30 p.m., and there is no admission charge.

Santa Cruz, despite a marked improvement as a team during the past few weeks, has yet to notch a league victory, while the Cowboys ride on top of the CCAL with a fine four and one record. Their only defeat being a 3-0 shutout by Watsonville. The Cowboys are rated the best balanced squad in the league with fine pitching, good fielding and hard-hitting combined. Coach Roger Baer has indicated he will start either Fred Weed-on or Bobby Vega on the mound for the locals. Weedon has been more impressive lately, but Vega, a stronger hurler, may fare better against Salinas' big bats.

Gayle Vogt, the league's leading-hurler in victories, is expected to be tossing to the Card batters. Salinas has another ace up its sleeve should Vogt find the going rough in Bob Williams, who last year was an AU-CCAL hurler. One Salinas player to watch -1 is loser Bob Rush and three Cub reliefers while Don Liddle went the distance for the first time this season. Morgan, who was 0-S, relieved Yankee started Maury Mc-Dermott in the fourth with one out, a run home and the bases loaded. From that point, he set down 17 in a row every man he faced.

Mike Garcia was the loser. Billy Martin smacked a leadnff homer in the first. Mickey Mantle hit his No. 13. Dick Donovan gave the White Sox pitching staff three straight complete games and knocked home the first two runs with a bases-loaded single in the fourth off Hal Griggs, who was making his first major league start.

Frank Baumann, with help from Tom Hurd, won for the Red Sox in relief of Mel ParnclL who sprained an ankle severely in a third-inning slide. Mickey Vernon's double drove home the winning run. Billy Gardner homered twice for the Orioles, with his second scoring what proved to be the winning run in the eighth for Erv Palica's second victory. Split-Schedule Announced For Little League Something new in the way of schedules will be tried out by the Santa Cruz American and National Little Leagues this year. The new schedule of 72 games for the two four-team leagues will be split with the leaders in each half meeting for their respective titles.

Each team plays 18 games. The schedule gets under way Monday afternoon with a dou-bleheader. The first game pits the Optimist Indians vs. the Native Sons Red Sox in the American league, while the Lions Cubs and 20-30 Cardinals battle in the feature game. Saturday the leagues will hold their opening day exhibition program at the Encinal street stadium.

Complete schedule: First Half May 21 Indians vs. Red Sox TAL) Cubs vs. Cardinals (NL) 22 Yankees vs. Tigers (AL) Dodgers vs. Pirates (NL) 24 Cubs vs.

Dodgers (NL) Indians vs. Yankees (AL) 25 Cardinals vs. Pirates (NL) Red Sox vs. Tigers (AL) 28 Indians vs. Tigers (AL) has the ball, tagged him out.

In left foreground, shortstop Guil-lermo Miranda stands ready to help. Lopez, who had been on first with a single, was caught when he attempted to reach The St Louis Cardinals, who? see themselves as a flag threat, too, got the job done for the Brooks in a pair of frantic fourth innings. Tuesday night they donated four unearned runs in the fourth and Brooklyn won 7-5. Last night, the Cards upped the ante and the Brooks scored five unearned markers in the fourth to win 5-3. That snarled the flag chase.

Milwaukee, beaten 21 at Philadelphia, is only 22 percentage points ahead of second-place St. Louis. And the Cards are just 16 points north of the Dodgers. The defeats left Milwaukee with a 5-5 road record and St. Louis with a 4-4 mark on tour.

Brooklyn, 6-6, is the only other club as good as .500 away from home. Pittsburgh, belting Cincinnati 9-2 to replace the Redlegs in fourth place, is 7-9 away from home while Cincy is 0 5. The New York Giants, who whacked Chi-cago 9-3, are 5-9 away from the Polo Grounds. The Cubs are 0-9 on the road. In the American league, New York's Yankees reclaimed first place from Cleveland bv beating the Tribe 4-1 behind Tom Morgan's 52i innings of perfect relief pitching.

The Chicago White Sox made it six in a row by beating Washington 3-1. New York opened a thfee-game set at Chicago today. Boston defeated Detroit 42. Baltimore outlasted Kansas City 8-6. Wally Moon hit a three-run homer in the third to give the Cards an early lead against the Dodgers, but then catcher Hal Smith and third baseman Ken Boyer erred in the fourth and Brooklyn wapped it up.

Ken Lehman won it in relief, although old-reliable Clem Labine had to come on to get the final out with two on in the ninth. It was a bad mxht for Frank Lane, the Cards' trade-happy general manager. Herm Weh-meier, acquired In that five- filtcher deal with Philadelphia ast week for the purpose of building up a righthanded mound staff to confront the Dodgers, was the victim of the fourth-inning fumbles. And Bobbv Morgan, picked up from the Phils in exchange for Solly Ilemus, was one of four pinch hitters who fanned. Hemus, meanwhile, struck a bases-loaded single in his first at-bat for the Phils to break a 1-all tie and beat the Braves.

Robin Roberts won his fourth in the tight duel with Bob Buhl, now 22. The Pirates rocked Joe Nuxhall to his third defeat without victory in seven starts with a five- run spree in the fourth. Bob Friend was the winner. Home runs by Al Dark, Ray Katt and Whitcy Lockman paced a 13 hit New York attack against Champ Still Favored Robinson Burned Because Ducat Request Is Denied By Bob Myers Los Angeles (A.P.). It was a highly irritated Sugar Ray Robinson who settled down here today to await the gong for the 15-round defense of his world middleweight championship against the man he dethroned, Carl (Bobo) Olson.

Robinson was provoked because he was unable to get additional choice seats at ringside for the nationally televised battle tomorrow night at Wrigley Field at 7 p.m. "The next time we fight for the International Boxing is Chuck Saionia, a 240-pound sophomore first baseman who is said to be a future major league star. Sajonia is extremely agile for a man his size, and can clout the ball with plenty of authority. The Salinas JV's will face Santa Cruz' junior varsity at the upper high school diamond at the same time. Mid-County LL Schedule Will Open May 28 The 36-game schedule of the Mid-County Little League was announced today.

The schedule gets under way Monday, May 28, although two exhibition games are slated fcr Saturday, May 26. The Mid-County Farm League will play the preliminary game daily. Complete schedule: May 28 White Sox vs. Senators 29 Athletics vs. Browns 31 Athletics vs.

Frick said yesterday: "Subsidy is not the answer. We need an evolution of rules and plans for the guys In the minors to get a break. We are working on a re appraisal to try and bring the 'haves and 'have-nots' closer together and get closer competition. The minor league situation is serious let's not kid ourselves." VOTE YES" tomorrow preliminaries or urday finals at Edwards Stadi um, is a virtual certainty. Southern California goes into this one undefeated in a conference meet since 1928, but UCLA this season has come up with its strongest team to challenge the Trojans.

USC has lost shot putter Ray Martin, broad jumper Jon Arnett, sprinter Dick Dorsey and distance star Fernando Ledesma through injuries. Key to the Bruins' chances is Itafcr Johnson, the world decathlon record holder, who is favored in the broad jump and both hurdle events. He could be a record breaker in two the hroad jump and low hurdles. His past jumps have surpassed the mark of 25 feet that has held since 1940 and he has run the low barriers faster than the meet standard of 23.1. Oregon's Jim Bailey, the fellow who ran the first mile under four minutes in the United States, his teammate Bill Dellinger, and UCLA's Bobby Seaman tangle in a mile, run Saturday that could lower the PCC record of 4:09.

It was set by Dellinger last year. Bailey, USC's Chuck Kirby and Murray Coburn and California's Don Bowden appear top threats in the 880. Kirby and Coburn have beaten the- record -of 1:52 and the others have shown capabilities of turning the trick. Prime interest in dash events rest with California's Leamon King who flashed to a world record tying 9.3 seconds for the 100- vard dasn at rresno lasi ween. The PCC standard is a fifth of a second higher.

King earlier this season beat Trinidad MiKe Agostini in a 220-yard dash after Agostini had run tne distance in record time. Southern California sprinter Pat Covle has already equalled or bettered the conference furlong mark. Max Truex, the little USC distance runner and Oregon's Del-linger threaten the 9:02.6 that has stood as the best two-mile run of PCC conference get to-gethers. has run 9:01.5 this season white Dellinger's "best of 1956 is 9:03.1. In the two-mile and the mile, a factor tending to increase times is the bunched start, with many runners jockeying for position.

The mile relay appears between USC and UCLA. The Bruins team of Stan King, Seaman, Johnson and Buss Ellis won at Fresno in 3:11.5, lower than the conference record. The Trojan opposition probably will include Mike Larrabee, Coburn, Lanny Quigley and Bruce Kitchen, Larrabee has the best 440-yard time of the season, 47.1, and Kirk-by the best 880 in 1:51.2. Phil Fehlcn of Stanford has the highest jump, 6 feet inches and Darrell Pearson of Washington State the best javelin throw at 225 feet lVi. UCLA has the top weightmen in Ron Drummond whose best discus throw this year is 180-6 and Don Vick who has put the shot 57.5.

USC pole vaulter Ron Morris has gone the 14 feet 9. Starting time for the prelims tomorrow is 4 p.m. and Saturday's finals, get underway at 2 p.m. CEDAR SHAKES CEDAR SHINGLES Speedy Delivery SAME PRICES Superior Quality 110. 2 CEDAR SHINGLES ONLY square sw jOvj.nv CoxToRecommend Three-Man Group To Rule Boxing Oakland W.

Special Investi gator James E. Cox says he will recommend new laws for Califor nia to put boxing under a three-man commission "dedicated to getting hoodlums out of the busi ness." Cox headed Gov. Knight's recent special committee to probe boxing. He listed rus recommendations after a two-hour conference yesterday with Chairman Julius Heifand of the New York Boxing Commission. Knight invited Heifand to help draft new laws.

Cox recommendations are similar to recent changes adopted in New York. He suggested a three-man commission with a chairman on full-time salary instead of the present five-man board. Another recommendation would require managers to file a statement after each flsht ac counting for distribution of the purse. H. U.

Finigan is already standing on second in this action which took place in the fourth inning yesterday. Baltimore won 8-6 (AP Wirephoto) making the 160-pound weight limit. Robinson weighed yesterday, Olson the same the last time Flaherty let observers look at the scale. Robinson, who knocked Olson out in two rounds In Chicago six months ago to regain the crown he relinquished in 1952, remains the general close betting favorite.

The price has fluctuated, and on occasion Olson has been the favorite, but it's been 13-10 most of the time for Sugar Ray. In 1950 Robinson stopped Olson in 12 rounds in Philadelphia, and in 1952 in San Francisco the then improving Bobo lost a close 15-round decision to the Harlem dandy.

My- roup otnyv "CITIZENS Kansas City Hector Lopez, Kansas City center fielder, attempts to elude Baltimore second baseman Bill Gardner after he was trapped between second and third base. Gardner, who Pirates Acquire Virdon From Cards Pittsburgh Of).

The Pittsburgh Pirates today traded outfielder Bobby Del Greco and southpaw Dick Littlefield to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Bill Virdon, 1955 rookie-of-the-year in the National league. No cash was involved. Acquisition of Virdon gives the Pirates sorely needed left-handed batting power. Virdon has been used only in relief this season.

Last year he hit .281 and belted 18 homers. Littlefield, obtained by the Pirates from Baltimore in 1951, has no 1956 decisions. Del Greco, who came up from Hollywood of the Pacific Coast league for another crack in the majors, is batting .200. lie seen action in 14 games. Br Th Associated Pih CALIFORNIA LEAGUE W.

We cer tainly don't like this treatment. Robinson is the champion." Otherwise, all was fairly calm on the eve of this fourth fight between the now 35-year-old Sugar Ray from New York and the soon to be 28 Olson of San Francisco.

Officials of the Hollywood American Legion stadium, which is promoting the show in conjunction with the IBC, said the match will go on, rain or shine. While no rain is forecast, a canvas canopy will be stretched over the ring just in case. There was some concern over a current heat wave. It got so Hot that Robinson broke up his training camp at San Jacinto, 90 miles from here, 21 hours ahead of time and drove into Los Angeles. Olson is ensconced in suburban Santa Monica, where he has been working diligently for five weeks.

There was heat In the Olson camp, too. This revolved around the insistence of the Robinson contingent on a 12 noon weigh-in tomorrow. Olson preferred a 10 a.m. weigh-in, since the TV battle goes on at the sundown hour. But the California boxing rulers sided with the Robinson people.

Olson's manager, Sid Flaherty, served notice that Bobo will be ready to go on the scale promptly at 12, will spend no more than 10 minutes for cameramen and will leave, whether Robinson has shown. Robinson generally takes his own sweet time attending such formalities. Neither fighter has any problem Cubs vs. Pirates (NL) 29 Red Sox vs. Yankees (AL) Cardinals vs.
