Before 1,700 cheering fans Saturday night, Irish Jack Murphy of Liverpool turned the tables on the wonder boy, Elmira's Jack Soper, to win the feature event for Class A modified stock cars. Murphy's effort, climaxing 25 grueling laps in which he and Soper exchanged the lead position five times, ends the Elmiran's complete domination of the Class A division at the Dryden track.

Until Saturday the 23-year-old Soper had won all but one feature race since July 12, opening day. He did not race the night Bucky Buchanan of Elmira took first place. The Irishman appeared to have the race wrapped up after one lap when he shot off to a 30-yard lead. But Soper, starting from the rear slot in the 13-car field, threaded his way to second by the sixth lap with Ithaca's Lucky Cornish dogging his bumper all the way. py the ninth lap Soper and Cornish had picked up 15 yards on the leader.

Three laps later the Elmiran flashed ahead of Murphy and for the next five turns they were never more than a wheel apart. Murphy Regains Lead But in the 17th Murphy swung into the lead again. Soper continued to press but couldn't take the initiative until the 22nd lap when he gained ground on a turn and moved into the front position. Going into the 24th lap the cars were head and head. Murphy bore down in an effort to get to the inside and he did close the gap briefly in the backstretch, but Soper inched ahead again to hold a half length lead as the cars swept into the final turn.

With Murphy hugging the rim and Soper careening around the outside the advantage shifted to the Irishman again and he belted home a full car ahead to cop the checkered flag. Cornish got home third and Gordie Blanchard of Elmira was fourth. In the 25-lap for modern cars, Pat Judson won top prize money for the second time in two weeks. Don Brown of Elmira was second. Carl Bush of Groton finished behind Curly Duncan of Jacksonville in the semifinal event for moderns.

Herby Green of Elmira placed first in the consolation race. Winners in the qualifying heats were Chuck Stanton of Ithaca, Reese Green of Elmira and Jim Strauf of Homer. Murphy and, Soper easily won in their qualifying heats. Blanchard placed second in the first heat and Red Spencer of Ithaca was third. In the second heat, Chubby Chandler of Elmira was second behind Sopher and Ithaca's Roger Fish, 'third.

Action for Class cars Sunday seemed to revolve around the second turn as three cars flipped over the embankment in the final three races. Bob Holley of Mecklenburg set precedent by sailing into the cornfield 20 feet below in the semifinal. In the consolation race Al Sharpsteen of Elmira flipped up and over at the same spot. Another car made the trip during the feature race. All drivers were reported unhurt.

Gibson Winner In the feature Hoot Gibson bolted through a field of 23 cars to win his second checkered flag of the day. Gibson finished 50 yards ahead of Vern Coyle of Waverly and Fred Benjamin of Groton. Other Sunday winners were Ken (Crash) Cooper, who was given the checkered flag after eight laps in the semifinal. The race was called when Holley left the track. John Alexander of Cortland cop, ped first place in the consolation event.

Winners in the qualifying heats were Bob Miller of Endicott, Gibson. and Bill Lower of Ithaca. Sunday's paid attendance was 183. Neale Fraser, playing at his peak, shattered India's dreams of an upset by outclassing the sensational Ramanathan Krishnan in the first of two last day singles! matches 6-2, 6-3. 6-4.

The majors could sign all the bonus players they desire, but at cut down time have to release most of the talent now being farmed, and the minors would sign them as Ifree agents. "Then they ceuld sell them back to the majors, after developing them, instead of just getting a pittance for the development as It is now.

It would also do away with the majors recalling a player in mid-season, thus wrecking the interest in the minor league cities." Of the 150 minor league clubs, 30 are owned outright by major Loop teams. Practically all the others are under control of the majors to some extent through working agreements. Since 1949 a total of 38 leagues and 296 cities have passed from 1the minor league picture, leaving 21 leagues and 150 towns. "And, unless the majors change their attitude, or the minors start fighting, I see the complete destruction of the minors," Chandler said. "And If the minors fail, the majors Won't survive too long."
