Stephens, inserted a pinch run-
ner for Ted Williams early in the
sixth, stroked a 3-1 offering by
Jim Bronstad into the right field
seats as the 11th Red Sox to go
to bat in the inning.
That wrapped up a wild, weird
exhibition started by Jackie Jen-
sen's double off the centerfield
wall.
Boston's biggest inning of the
year also included such oddities as
two singles by Frank Malzone, and
Sammy White ambling in from
third base unmolested when Yan-

held the ball and turned to pro-
test a ruling by first base umpire
Nestor Chylak.

aivis Cup Captain Jonies
't To Name 1959 Squad
CHICAGO (P)-The captain of
the United States Davis Cup Team
disclosed yesterday the 1959 team
will be named this weekend and
based largely on performances by
several contenders in the current
National Clay Court Tennis Tour-
nament. .
Capt. Perry T. Jones said he has
gathered most of the outstanding
uniors (18 years old and yunger)
at the tournament as part of a
Mont petit,
Maron Set.
Two Michigan gymnasts have
been named to the Canadian gym-
nastic team to the Pan American
Games this summer.
The two, Richard Montpetit
and Nino Marion, will leave with
the Canadian delegation Aug. 20
for Chicago and the Games, which
start Aug. 27 and last through
Sept. 7.
The two were chosen as the re-
sult of a meet held in Windsor
July 10-11. The meet was also the
Canadian Gymnastics Champion-
ship meet.
Montpetit scored first in the
meet, gaining his points from his
excellent performance on the side
horse. The Michigan youth hails
from Montreal.
Marion, a junior from Windsor,
placed third in the event as a re-
sult of his performance on the
rings.
The Canadian delegation to the
Games is composed of six men.
Two Tied
DENVER (A)- Hal McCommas,
24, Dallas, Tex., and Dr. Donald J.
Keith, 31, San Diego dentist, shot
4-under-par 67s yesterday to lead
the first qualifying round in the
U.S. Public Links Golf Tourna-
ment.
A stroke back were Al Beneflel,
Denver railroad worker, and Ray
H. Patak, Dallas, a member of
the Notre Dame golf team.
Defending champion Dan Sikes
of Jacksonville, Fla., and Don
Essig III, Indianapolis, the 1957
champion, were among five play-
ers who shot 69s over the 6,617-
yard, par 35-36-71 Wellshire Mu-
nicipal Course.
Others were Mat Palacio, Jr.,
San Rafael, Calif., Rich Casabella,
Louisville, Ky., and Gene Dixon,
of Memphis, Tenn.
The rest of the first day par
breakers with 70s were Raymond
Massey of Miami, Fla., Ralph
Johnson, Salt Lake City, Marshall
K. Strauss, Highland Park, Ill.,
and Gene Dahlbender Jr., Atlanta
Ga.
The sub-par shooting of Mc-
Commas and Patak along with a
72 by Gene Towry, runnerup in
1957, gave Dallas the team compe-
tition lead with a 207-the aggre-
gate for the three men.
The team.championship is based
on 36 holes of qualifying play.
Louisville's team is second with
215 and Denver trails in third
with 917
new program to build United
States tennis stars. These players,
as well as the adults, are trying in
suburban River Forest this week
for berths on the squad which will
defend the Davis Cup.
Program New
The program is new in its ap-
plications to junior players. For
the first time, six top youngsters
will be named to the squad with
equal membership with older play-
ers such as Alex Olmedo, star of
last yearsvictorious entry in the
challenge round against Australia.
Among the outstanding juniors
competing at the tournament in
suburban River Forest are Ramsey
Earnhart, Ventura, Calif.; Larry
Nagler, North Hollywood, Calif.;
Paul Palmer, Phoenix; Marty Ries-
sen. Hinsdale, Ill.; Bill Bond, La
Jolla, Calif.; Dennis Ralston, Bak-
ersfield, Calif. Others being con-
sidered for the team are Charles
McKinley, St. Ann, Mo., and
Thomas Edlefsen, Piedmont, Calif.
Jones, 71, termed the new pro-
gram "my greatest contribution to
tennis."
He complained that in the past
young players practically have
been forgotten after they lost an
early match in a tournament.
"Now, if they lose here this
week, off they go to the next tour-
nament at Merion (the Philadel-
phia Grass Court Tournament),"
Jones said.
Assistants Help
There they will be met by one
of Jones' assistants who will work
with them prior to the tournament,
giving each individual instruction.
Besides working on the young-
sters' physical game, Jones and
hishelpers are trying to give each
top junior confidence that he has
an actual chance to make the
Davis Cup squad.
This 'mental therapy worked
with Alex Olmedo last year, Jones
boasted. "He was ranked 11th in
the nation at this time last year,
which was nothing," said Jones.
"Then I told him if he settled down
he could make the Davis Cup
squad. Now he's about the best in
the world."
Jones listed the tentative Davis
Cup team, exclusive of juniors, as
Bernard Bartzen, defending clay
court singles champion, Earl Euch-
holz Jr., Chris Crawford, Donald
Dell, Jon Douglas, Myron Franks,
Grant Golden, Ron Holmberg,
Clifton Mayne, Barry MacKay
and Olmedo.

game since a victory May 8 over
Milwaukee, toiled through 6% in-
nings in relief for the triumph.
Lawrence had lost eight straight
games. -
The Reds blew two healthy
leads before settling down.

two hits the rest of the way.
AT PHILADELPHIA:
Russian Track Team Arrives for Meet
PHILADELPHIA (JP) -- Russian
men and women track stars ar-
rived here yesterday for their
weekend meet with U.S. athletes
on the University of Philadelphia's
Franklin Field.
After eating lunch and resting
in their rooms at the fashionable
Warwick Hotel in mid-town Phila-
delphia, Coach George Korobkov
hustled his charges to the site of
the competition for a workout.
A group of 79 members of the
Soviet squad arrived in New York
at 6:45 a.m. yesterday by plane
from Brussels. They were, greeted

Swimmer Lumsden
Takes Distance Contest
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. W)-Cliff
Lumsden of New Toronto, Ont.,
yesterday won the sixth annual
Atlantic City Distance Swim by
about 75 yards over defending
champion and three-time winner
Tom Park of Bellfiower, Calif.
Lumsden swam the 25 miles in
10 hours, 54 minutes and 5 seconds
to regain the crown he won in 1956
when he beat Park by a' stroke.
Lumsden swam up to the finish
line at the Atlantic City State
Marina to the cheers of hundreds
of spectators, sounds of numeroug
foghorns and the music of a band
that played the Canadian national
anthem.,
SEATTLE OP)-A score or more
of high-powered hydroplanes will
dash around Lake Washington
here at up to 180 miles an hour
Aug. 9 in a 90-mile thriller that
probably draws the country's
largest sports crowd.
It's the 52nd running of the
Gold Cup, top event in a noisy,
dangerous expensive sport. The
race climaxes Seattle's July 31-
Aug. 9 Seafair celebration.
Anything may happen when the
unlimited class speedboats whiz
around the three-mile course.
They kick up spectacular clouds
of spray a block long. To keep one
running you may need a roll of
bills about the same length.
But the spectacle is mostly free
to the spectators, and that's one
reason there is hardly standing
room along the shore and hillside
leading down to the 25-mile long
lake.
Large Crowd

of a 500,000 crowd is slightly on
the. optimistic side - as some

title.
On climbing up on a dock at the
end of the race,'the two opponents
clasped hands and posed for pic-
tures with their arms around each
other.
Lumsden won first prize of $5,-
000 and lap money, Park won $1,-
500.
Anderson Third
Third to finish and the first
woman was former Danish swim
star Greta Andersen of Long
Beach, Calif., who covered the
distance in 11 hours, 7 minutes,
25 seconds. The blonde, 30-year-
old swimmer, was clad in a one-
piece red bathing suit.
Miss Phyllis Clarke, 27, of Kings-
ton, Ont., was pulled from the
water after seven hours and doc-
tors said she had become paralyzed
from the. waist down. She was
taken to Atlantic City Hospital
with what doctors said was an ap-
parent sprain of the sacro-lumbar
or the sacroilliac.
Fred Higgins of Preston, Ont.,
Tonatiun Gutierrez of Mexico City
and Steve Wozniak of Buffalo,
N.Y., also dropped out.
to the Amateur Athletic Union.
Then, the Russians boarded a bus
for the 90-mile ride to Philadel-
phia.
Korobkov, who speaks fairly good'
English, said he had a much
younger team than the one which
met the U.S. last year in Russia.
He said it was difficult to deter-
mine whether the 1959 Russian
squad was weaker or better than
last year's.
"The meet will show hqw strong
our team is," he commented.
Korobkov remarked that he was
sorry America's decathlon star,I
Rafer Johnson, would not be able
to compete. Johnson, a UCLA stu-
dent who last year set a world
decathlon record in defeating Rus-
sian star Vasily Kuznetsov, an-
nounced last week a bad back
would keep him idle. He sustained
the injury in an automobile acci-
dent June 11 and won't be able
to resume heavy training until
next year.

LOS ANGELES (A') - Johnny

ing yesterday as was Taisia Chen-
chik, women's captain and high
jumper. Also with the team was
Dmitry Postnikov, deputy chair-
man of sport societies and organi-
zations of the Soviet Union.
Postnikov said the team had not
brought any special foods with
them. He said that no special pre-
parations had yet been found that
could cut fractions off seconds
from track records.
The Russian athletes, dressed in
blue suits with hammer and sickle
emblems on their Jackets, were
greeted at the hotel by several of
the American team members.
Yawl Leads
Yacht Race
HONOLULU UP) - The 66-foot
yawl Chubasco held its head yes-
terday in the squal-swept Trans-
Pacific Yacht Race.
The Chubasco, owned by Don-
ald Haskell of Newport, Calif.; not
only led in its class and the fleet,,
but also was out in front in the
handicap standings, which deter-
mine the actual winner.
The Chubasco reported its po-
sition 441 miles northeast of
Honolulu at 5 a.m. yesterday, Ha-
waii Standard Time, after a run
Sunday of 174 miles.
Behind -her, 449 miles from
Honolulu, was the 75-foot schoon-
er Constellation, owned by Sally
Blair Ames, the only woman skip-
per in the 2,225-mile yachting
classic.
The Constellation was second'
in fleet position, but sixth in the
handicap positions.
The biggest boat in the race, the
161-foot schooner Goodwill, was
in third position 467 miles from
Honolulu and sailing well south of
the main fleet. Owner Ralph Lar-
rabee was gambling on catching
some winds the others won't get.
skeptics suggest - it still is a
good cut above the number who
turn out for the Kentucky Derby,
World Series or top fotball games.
The defending champion, this
year is the Hawaii Kai, formerly
owned by Edgar Kaiser, son of in-
dustrialist Henry Kaiser. The
Kai's 103.481 mile average in the
1958 race shows how far the sport
has come since the Columbia
Yacht Club's entry, the Standard,
won the first Gold Cup in the east
in 1904 at 23.6 miles an hour.
To qualify now you must com-
plete three laps of the three-mile
course at 95 miles an hour or bet-
ter. On straightaways the boats
bat along at up to 180, so fast that
hitting a tiny piece of debris can
wreck a boat.
All the top entries now are
varied versions of the three-point-
ers. At racing speeds the boat
rides on tips of the sponsors -
rounded extensions at the bottom
of the hull - and the propeller.
That is, the part of the propeller
that isn't out of the water.
Many Accidents
Despite safety precautions, ao-
cidents have marred some races.
Last summer a jammed rudder
sent driver Bill Muncey of Seattle
and the speedboat Miss Thrtf-
way careening into a U. S. Coast
Guard patrol boat at 100 miles an
hour. Muncey and the Coast
Guardsmen were rescued but the
two craft sank.
A few months earlier Muncey
was injured when his speedboat
disintegrated at Madison, Ind.,
during running of the Governor's
Cup. The first time the Gold Cup
was run on Lake Washington, in
1951, two men drowned when the
Miss Quicksilver of Portland, Ore.,
hit a submerged object and sank.
All the recent winners used Al-
lison or Rolls Royce power plants.
The crews beef them up with "ex-
otic" fuels with almost as much
care and secrecy as experts setting
off rockets at Cape Canaveral.
Boats Costly
The boats and their operation
cost plenty. One estimate is that
the expected 21 entries combined
are worth a half million dollars.
This doesn't pose any major
problem to owners like William
Waggoner Jr., the Arizona and
Texas oil and cattle man.
But little fellows want to get
into the act, too. Several com
munity groups sponsor boats,
s o m e t i m e s scraping up just
enough dough to get to the race.
There's ,no monetary prize to
the winner, unless you count the
publicity for sponsors whose en-
tries carry product names.
The Gold Cup itself is a per-
petual trophy donated 55 years
ago by New York's Columbia
Yacht Club. It's a piece of silver
with a thin layer of yellow metal
that hardly looks worth, all the
fuss. But you couldn't tell that to
the participants or spectators.

Parks followed him to the finish

Th& 28-year-old swimmer looked
exhausted after leaving the 70-

Parks told newsmen that he be-

end of the arduous swim and "I

in the race, when Lumsden had
momentarily become caught on a
jetty, Parks stopped swimming and
went over to his opponent to see
if he was all right.
Parks and Lumsden have mono-
polized the distance swim since it
was begun six years ago. Parks
