Eight Travel Mile Under Four Minutes
COMPTON, Calif. UPI — Tha United States may have more fine distance runners than it can squeeze into its Olympic team for the Tokyo games this fall. Eight, repeat, eight Americans ran the mile under four minutes at the Compton Invitational track and field meet Friday night in what had to be the greatest mass mile run in history. And w’hat’s more an American, Bob Schul of Miami University, Ohio, beat one of the world’s best distance men, Bill
Baillie of New Zealand in the 5,000-meter run. Schul’s time of 13:38.0 was only three seconds off the world record set by Russia’s Vladimir Kutz in Rome, Italy, Oct. 13, 1957, and the best ever by an American. But the mile, won by Durol Burleson,, veteran Oregonian, in 3:57.4, will be a conversation piece for track filberts in years to come. The eighth finisher was a Wichita, Kan., high school boy, Jim Ryun, fastest ever for such a kid. His time was 3:59.0, and at 17 years old he should have a few years of competition left.

SOUTH BEND, UPI — Some of the United States’ top Olympic track hopes compete today in the 39th Central Collegiate Conference championships with record performances possible in several events. The best competition was expected in the 100 and 220-yard dashes where Big Ten champion Trenton Jackson of Illinois will run against defending champion Bill Del Vecchio of Pittsburgh, as well as Nate Adams of Purdue in the 220.

Hockey League Meets Monday MONTREAL UPI — The National Hockey League’s annual summer meetings, which draw an even larger collection of hockey people than the Stanley Cup playoffs, convenes here Monday with only a ripple of trade winds blowing. The yearly June meetings, expected to attract several hundred hockey club owners, executives, coaches, players, newsmen and just interested bystanders, have been lengthened from three to four days this year. “We’ve found that with the increasing amount of business to be handled each year that three days just wasn’t enough,” said NHL President Clarence Campbell who will be chairing his 18th convention. Wednesday’s NHL intraleague draft and the prospects of off-season trades usually cause the most anticipation and speculation. However, with the exception of last year's meeting, each has proved to be a major disappointment.
Gurney Leads Sports Car Race MOSPORT PARK, Ont. UPI — Dan Gurney of Costa Mesa, Calif., will lead a field of 33 into the Player’s 200 sports car race today but Scotland’s Jimmy Clark, his teammate in a Lotus-Ford, withdrew because of mechanical difficulties. Gurney led the field in Friday’s trials with a lap time of 1:32.2 minutes, just three-tenths of a second off the lap record he set during the 1962 race. Last year Gurney finished third in the race behind California’s Chuck Daigh and Jim Hall of Texas.

Louis Comments On Golf Tourney RYE, N. Y. UPI — Fearless Fraley’s facts and figures from the Thunderbird golf classic: Joe Louis, the old Brown Bomber of the ring, confessed today he was walking on his heels. “I followed Sam Snead for nine holes in street shoes and the only w r ay I could stand up was by walking on my heels, the rubber ones,” he grinned. Louis is an avid golfer. He started to play in 1936 just before his first bout wdth Max Schmeling, in which the German knocked him out. “I played too much golf and didn’t train enough,” recalled Joe, w’ho shot a 69 in the first round of the 1952 Tucson Open and has scored as low as 64 “in regular playin’.”

Seventh Inning Lucky For Sox By United Press International The word around the American League is to beat the Chicago White Sox in seven innings or forget it. The seventh inning has been known as the “lucky seventh” for years but for 1964 opponents of the White Sox it’s the unlucky frame when star relief pitchers Hoyt Wilhelm and Don Mossi make their appearances. Either one is usually capable of quieting whatever disturbance is brewing but if one isn’t equal to the task manager A1 Lopez quickly signals to the bullpen and the other gameender appears.
Return Fight Date July 17 NEW YORK UPI — Lightweight contender Frankie Narvaez and cat-footed Johnny
Bizzarro agreed today to a return television fight, at Madison Square Garden of July 17, because of their thrilling finish and a split decision for Narvaez in the Garden Friday night. Puerto Rico-born Narvaez, who scored his 14th straight victory although nearly flattened in the final 10th round, abandoned plans for a non-ti-tle bout with junior lightweight champion Flash Elorde or featherweight ruler Sugar Ramos at the request of matchmaker Teddy Brenner. Recreation To Start Monday The Summer Recreation Program will get underway Monday, June 8. A Junior High School basketball league has been organized and will be the lead off activity at 10:00 a.m. Monday in the downtown gym. Playground activities will be held daily at Jones School, Robe Ann Park and on the Miller School playground throughout the summer. These playgrounds will be open at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Arts and crafts will be offered in the Junior High Basement from 9 to 4 daily. Several special activities have been added for the summer. Poolside dances have been scheduled for the youth, a square dance has been planned in July and adult horseshoe pitching Thursday nights at Robe Ann. The High School Band under the direction of Don Marketto will offer two concerts for your entertainment in June. Each student in the Greencastle Schools was given a schedule of the summer recreation program. The Daily Banner will carry the schedule for the coming week in the Saturday edition. Tony Lema Has Two-Shot Lead RYE, N. Y. UPI — Champagne Tony Lema wasn’t uncorking any bottles yet but he was raising a thirst as he carried a tw'o-shot lead into the third round of the $100,000 Thunderbird golf classic today. The tall ex-Marine, wiio celebrates all his victories with champagne, birdied the 17th hole and eagled the 18th with a 40-foot chip shot into the cup Friday to grab the front spot in the chase for the $20,000 top prize with a five-under-par 67 and a 135 total. That jumped him two strokes in front of big Mike Souchak, the former Duke fullback, and slender Ken Venturi, who tied at 137 in the second round with respective scores of 68 and 70. Favored Arnold Palmer could do no better than a 71 for 139, four strokes behind Lema with single rounds remaining today and Sunday, while Jack Nicklaus shot a 69 for 142, seven shots behind.
Rotund Ones LINCOLN, Neb. UPI—Years ago, overweight w r as considered a sign of success and prosperity, health education specialists at the University of Nebraska say. A man able to provide himself and his family with plenty ot food let rotundity speak for his comfortable position in life. At the same time, plumpness was thought to enhance a woman’s charm. This is not so today, the specialists said. An overweight person is not necessarily well nourished. Statistics show T people who are very much overweight seem to be more susceptible to certain diseases, may have less resistance to infection, and even tend to have more accidents than slim people.
HATS I P ST. JOSEPH, Mo UPI — The hat business is on the upgrade, with emphasis on Texasstyle head pieces, a spokesman for the Stevens Hat Corp. says. He described the model, i which he called the “LBJ hat,” as “a popular, semi-western dress hat.” The pre-creased hat j has a 2% inch brim. A decorative pin is attached to the band, j

COLT, DERINGER MADE HISTORY
HARTFORD, Conn. (UPI) — Their names were usually mentioned when guns flashed in the Wild West but the two men were far removed from the frontier and its violence. Samuel Colt’s factory here still flourishes. Henry Deringer’s Philadelphia armory closed with his death in 1868, three years after an assassin sent a bullet from one of his tiny hand guns into the head of President Abraham Lincoln. Son of a prosperous New England mill owner, Colt ran away from an Andover, Mass., prep school at 16 and signed abroad a brig bound for India. Deringer, son of a Pennsylvania Dutch craftsman, was sent as an apprentice to a gunsmith in Richmond, Va., where he spent his formative years. Colt spent his idle time aboard ship in a diversion shared by most sailors of the period—whittling. First Model Revolver He saw that the vessel’s wheel turned a clutch which aligned the spokes and locked the wheel in position. A block of wood he was whittling took shape. It became the first model revolver. Colt returned briefly to his father’s textile plant where chemicals used in the dyeing and bleaching department caught his fancy. He disappeared again and turned up as “Doctor Coult,” on the snake-
oil circuit.
“Step right up, folks,” a shill would bark. “See Doctor Coult demonstrate the uses of that new wonder — nitrous oxide.” The country bumpkins couldn’t get enough of Coult and his laughing gas. He picked up enough of a stake in three years to perfect the revolver he developed abord the brig. He obtained patents in the United States
and Europe.
Sales boomed with Federal troops fighting Indians in the Florida Everglades during the Seminole War of 1836. A recession followed but the Mexican War put Colt back in business four years later.
Colt’s Buildup After the California Gold Rush of 1849 in which Congress authorized distribution of Colts to the hardy pioneers for $25 each, he built his arms factory in Hartford. Word of the Colt soon spread along the expanding frontier. The pistol became an item of apparel. Sam, drawing on his days as a spieler, didn’t miss any bets in promoting his products. Colt’s fame grew and he was named Colonel of the First Regiment of Colt Revolving Rifles with the outbreak of the Civil War but Connecticut Gov. William A. Buckingham revoked the commission within 90 days because of personal differences. Less than a year later, on Jan. 10, 1862, Colt died at the age of 47. As Colt’s pistol became a byword of the West, so did another, deadly little item preferred by gamblers and honkytonk gals, among others. This pistol could be concealed in the palm of one’s hand, tucked into a vest pocket or in the top of a lady's stocking. The Deringer The weapon was named for Henry Deringer, who invented it. His w r as a family of superior gunsmiths in Philadelphia who, like Colt, produced a variety of weapons. Deringer’s little hand gun made him. but not without exacting a toll. He w'as constantly being forced into the courts to prevent infringers from producing it. One of the more outrageous frauds was a man who left his employe, hire a man named Derringer and stamped his guns “J. Derringer.” The similarity fooled many purchasers and the irony of the duplicity remains with us today. The dictionary term to describe the small pistol Is spelled “Derringer,” with tw r o “r’s” rather than the way the inventor spelled his name, with one
