Air Force jet pilot Col. Russ Schleeh, driving the hometown favorite Miss Reno, was the first victim of the waves. His mount, the former Gold Cup champion Maverick, disappeared in a cloud of spray on the fifth lap of yesterday's first heat.

Schleeh, who was running in fourth place as he started around the south turn of the three mile. 3,500 foot high course, was thrown clear. He was plucked from the water by a patrol boat moments later little more than soaked and shaken up. Red flares shot into the air. halting the heat in a bitter blow to Don Wilson in Miss U.S.

Miss U.S. 1 of Detroit already had picked up 400 points for a first place heat Saturday and 400 more would have made her hard to catch in the remaining two. DRIVER HURT Rex Manchester, apparently on route to victory in Miss Spokane in second heat, flipped on the last turn and again red flares halted the race.

Hank Easom, and his Serenade, but it was close, yesterday in the Sausalito Yacht Club's regatta. The point is that the Baby Grand and the Serenade are both of the Dasher class, but the galling part for De Wees, heretofore, had been that both boats were built by Easom at his Sausalito shipyard and, as a customer, he getting a fait shake.

Farallones, all six of them, were unseen and unreported. After a hurried consultation, Recorder Don Seaton and the committee decided on some concrete action. So, making like the Coast Guard, the committee boat headed out into the fog in search of the Maverick lones and found them off Point Bonita with four of them in close contention and still battling for the lead.

In division races, the Baruna continued along her trail of resurgence by again defeating the Bolero, and quite handily too. Although the runa was first to finish, Tim Orient was declared the winner on corrected time. However, for the first time in many years Jim Michael entered a protest. At the start, according to the skipper of the Baruna, the Orient barged the line, forcing him to fall off or ram the committee boat. While the Baruna is undoubtedly one of the finest equipped yachts to be found, it had no protest flag, and a crewman's shirt was the only available substitute.

In Division the Triton's hold on the top spots was finally broken with a nice win by Larry Harris in the Columbia. The leader Triton was relegated to seventh spot, but Boh Potter has a fat cushion of points and has no great reason for alarm. Cash and Colavito have been just as essential to the Tigers as Maris and Mantle have been to the Yankees. The pair collaborated yesterday to lead the Tigers to a 7-4, 10-1 sweep of a double-header with Washington, moving the Tigers to within two games of the American League-leading Yankees. Detroit gained half a game on the Yankees who nipped Kansas City 8-7 for Whitey 22nd triumph.

Maris and Mantle went homerless and hitless. Colavito smashed four home runs, three in the second game, and batted in seven runs. Cash got three hits, including a double and triple to boost his league-leading average to 1.365. White vSox strengthened their hold on fourth place, defeating Cleveland twice 10-6 and 9-3.
