Speedboats
To Vie For I
$25,000 Pot
SEATTLE (AP> ? The city of
Seattle nearly drowned in its own
tears when it lost the Gold Cup '
speedboat race to Detroit last sum- 1
mer. but its eyes are bright and 1
clear again and flashing a $25,000 1
sparkle.
That's-the purse whieh has been 1
set up to lure the unlimiteds back
to Seattle next August 5 to com- <
pete for the Seafair Trophy.
"Maybe it's a good thing we last '
the Gold Cup,'' says Jerry Bryant, '
new president of Greater Seattle. <
Inc "It tests our ability to estab
lish a race of our own." (
Speedboat madness hit the city I
in 1951 when it fell heir to the i
Gold Cup race. A year earlier Stan i
Sayres had taken his Slo-Mo-Shun I
IV back to Detroit and snatched t
Little League
Results
In opening games in the Moun

md Garrett's edged Hazelwood. 2-L
Klrkpatrick pitched a no-hitter
'or Texaco and led his team at
he plate with four for five. The
osing pitcher was Blanton.
In the second game, Hill pitched
i three-hitter and clouted a home
run for Garrett's. The losing pitch

In the first Pony League tilts,
L'nagusta came from behind to top
Dayton Rubber. 5-2, and Maggie

Burrell's home run in the fourth

three hits. The losing pitcher was
Allen.
For Maggie Valley In the second
game, Ralph Edwards, a lefthander,
pitched three-hit ball and Gribble

the mug.
The crowds that pack the shores
of Lake Washington, jam the rails
of the famous Lake Washington
floating bridge and sardine into
pleasure boats average 300,000 a
year.
When you have an event with
that kind of drawing power you
don't let it get away without a
struggle ? even if very few of the
300,000 pay their way in. Nobody
has found a way to charge general
admission, as most of the shoreline
is city-Owned.
By charging pleasure boat own
ers for moorage along Jhe race
course log boom, by .selling pro
grams and by peddling Seafair but
tons at $1 a throw, race officials
have been able to raise almost half
the cost.
Greater SeatUP, a civic boost
er organization, looks upon those
300.000 speedboat fans as good cus
tomers for the city's merchants
That's why it's setting up the $25.
300 purse to insure a race in 1956
"The purse could go up to $50.
)00 in another year and eventually
-each $100,000," says Bryant. When
wu figure that eaA boat costs
iround $25,000 to build, the purse
s not immense. Yet this will be
he first time that cash awards have
been offered in unlimited speed
boat racing.

star Softball pitcher and basketball
act on Baton Rouge independent
teams. She hurled the deciding
game that gave her cjub the ,
Louisiana state softball champion
ship for the sixth straight year.
When the softball team broke
up. Miss Sanches turned to golf.
"I had to do something," Wanda
explains. "I like sports. So I took
up golf, and I'm sticking with it.
No more softball ar baseball."
Miss Sanches is a strong, sturdy
gal who gets off booming drives.
Her weakness is on the greens.
"I've got to work and work on
my putting," Miss Sanches says. |
Wanda's drives were so teriffic
in the Southern Women's Amateur
that in one match, she putted for
birdies on eight of the 12 holes she
played with Mrs. Sam Byrd of !
Birmingham, Ala., wife of a former
New York Yankee outfielder. She
defeated Mrs. Byrd 8 and 6.
When she isn't playing golf. Miss
Sanches works in her mother's
florist shop in Baton Rouge. Tall
and rather timid, Wanda's eyes
sparkle when anyone mentions the
possibility of her joining the pro
fessional rank's of women golfers.
"I really haven't given a pro
golf career much thought," Miss
Sanches says. "1 don't krtow . . .
it all depends."

even though he shoots in the high 90s. The most valuable player
in the American League is shown driving a golf ball right-handed -
and putting left-handed. Berra. who gets paid about $42,000 a year
as a catcher and a left-handed slugrer of baseballs for the New
