Rookie Status Questioned By NEW YORK liTI Jack Sanford, ace of the Philadelphia Phillies' pitching stau, appears to have a stranglehold on the National League Rookie of the Year award. But the voting for American League honors is liable to wind up in a state of confusion. The player involved is Frank Malzone, Boston Red Sox third baseman. The big question: Is he or is he not a rookie? The facts are these: Drain Recreation Night Is Scheduled Tonight Plans for the Drain recreation night scheduled for tonight have been completed, according to Pat Wohlers, director of the night's activities. The activities, which will start at S p.m., include a spaghetti feed at the picnic area from 5-7 p.m., with Mrs. Dick Duncan in charge. After the dinner there will be recreation activities at the ball field from 7-9 p.m. These will in clude three one-inning peewce baseball games between the six Drain clubs, six badminton games of six points a game and a three inning softball game between the Drain Silk Sox, women's softball team and the Drain State Junior League baseball team.

Malzone played in 27 games last season. He batted 103 times and had a .lbs average 2. No one seems to know what constitutes a rookie. 3. No regulation is likely to be put on the tiooks this year. Writer Has Opinion Ihe president of the Baseball Writers' Assn. of America, Dan Daniel of the New York World- Telegram and Sun, believes that Malzone, who is having a fine sea son, is not a first-year player. "How can a player who actually failed as a rookie last season and played as much as he did be eligi ble tms year.' it just isn t lair. In my opinion Sanford and Tony Kubek of the Yankees should win," he said. Daniel pointed out quickly that, although he selects the writers who will participate in the post-season balloting (there are three from each major league city), he will not attempt to influence any of them. Writers Disagree "We tried to come up with a ruling last month In St. Louis," said Daniel. "But the writers couldn't get together. Some of them felt as I did that players with 15 or more games or pitchers with five complete games in previous seasons should not be eligible." In 109 games this season, Mal zone has put together a .305 bat ting average. He has hit eight home runs and batted in 68 runs. Kubek, who has played five pos itions for the Yanks, has appeared in 84 games. He also shows a .305 batting mark but he's had only two homers and 25 RBIs. Sanford, who pitched in three games in 1956, has won 15 games and lost only four. He leads his circuit in strikeouts with 142 and has an earned run average of 2.93. Patty Berg Winner In Tarn 0'Shanter CHICAGO Utl Patty Berg fig ures she has plenty of more "worlds" to conquer. "Retire? Me? I've made up my mind to play until I'm 50," said the red-ahired perennial tourna ment favorite, who is 39. She'll 'be back trying for her fifth "world" championship at Tarn O'Shanter next year. She won the $6,000 top prize and the "world" crown yesterday in an 18-hole playoff with 37-year-old Fay Crocker of Montevideo, Uru guay. They tied at 302 after the regu lation 72 holes Sunday, the tie com ing when Patty rolled in a 25-foot putt for a birdie 3 on the last hole. Patty fired a 1-over-par 77 to beat Miss Crocker by two strokes in the playoff. The first prize, big gest award in women's golf, boost ed Patty's winnings to $15,768, No. 1 position on the women's PGA money list. Miss Crocker settled for $2,000. and is No. 2 on the list with $10,796. Ring Record By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Orlando Zultie ta, 137, Cuba, outpointed Frankie Ippolito, 140, New York, 10.

Williams, Mays Top Sluggers In Majors NEW YORK Of) Ted Williams, the fabulous thumper of the Bos ton Red Sox, and Willie Mays of the New York Giants Tuesday boasted the highest slugging av erages in the major leagues. Williams has compiled 250 total bases in 316 times at bat for a slugging mark -of .723. The 38- year-old outfielder has 24 doubles 'I one triple and 30 homers. Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees, who is challenging Wil liams for the American League batting lead, also is a close sec ond in the slugging competition. Mantle has a .708 slugging av erage on 260 total bases in 367 trips. The Yanks' star centerfielder numbers 20 doubles, four triples and 31 homers among his 139 hits. Figures compiled by The As sociated Press also revealed that Mays lops the National League by a slim margin over Milwau kee's Hank Aaron.

WE GIVE S & H GREEN STAMPS i iter to 1 1 2)f i 635 S. E. Jockson Rademacher Sure He Will Defeat Floyd Patterson COLUMBUS, Ca. I Balding,! Chemeres, who takes Rademach-28-year-old Pete Rademacher may er as seriously as the challenger still be an amateur as far as mon- regards himself. ey is concerned the morning of i Aug. 23, but he is confident that he'll also be heavyweight cham pion of the boxing world. The 210-pound Olympic heavy weight king insists he will de throne champion Floyd Patterson and confound the experts who say the Aug. 22 scrap in Seattle will be a worse mismatch than the Patterson - Hurricane Jackson title fight. "With no television and with a $250,000 guar-wtee for Patterson, I might wind up with money out of pocket," said Rademacher, "but it will be worth it." Patterson stopped Jackson in 10 rounds, but the beating he gave the challenger failed to impress Rademacher. He saw the fight on television and commented after ward, "I haven't changed my opin ion that I can beat him." Lacks Power Rademacher conceded that Pat terson is plenty fast, but he re mains unconvinced that the cham pion has enough power to hurt a good big man Rademacher, for instance. "It seemed strange to me that he didn't salt Jackson away. Pat terson didn't seem to take ad vantage of the situation he had created when he got Jackson in trouble," said Rademacher after watching Floyd deck the Hurri cane twice in the early rounds of their battle in New York. "Patterson hits so fast that I be lieve most of his blows are lack ing in power. It seems to me that a man in Jackson's condition after those first and second rounds shouldn't have been in there until the 10th," the amateur champion declared. Chemcres, who has worked with Rademacher since 1950, does most of the talking for the big fellow. He rates Pete as a pro already and has little patience with crit ics who decry Rademachcr's lack of professional experience "The guy has been boxing for 10 years, lie r like a pro to me He fights like one. The only dif ference is he's never got paid for it, says Chemcres, who began training Rademacher when Pete was a Washington State College undergraduate. Three Straight KO'S Rademacher wrote Chemeres then, asking if he could use the trainer's Evergreen gym Seattle to work out. Chemeres saw him kayo three opponents in one night in Golden Cloves compel! tion at Tacoma. He trained him for three years and watched him win the national Golden Gloves crown at Boston in 1953. When Rademacher won his Olympic berth last year at San Francisco, Chemeres was there. The chalbnger scored three straight knockouts in Melbourne last December to win the Olympic championship. Patterson isn't inclined to un derrate Rademacher's amateur opposition. "Anyone who wins an Olympic title has to be good to beat the world s best amateurs. 1 am going to be fully prepared," the cham pion said the other day.

"He can take a punch and throw one, and he does have the big punch." Rademacher and Chemeres aren't talking about "battle plans." but Rademacher says "I expect to make full use of my physical advantages." He claims a 4 W inch advantage in reach over the smaller Patterson anil will probably carry a 25-pound weight advantage into the ring. The challenger has never gone more than a few rounds in a fight (amateurs usually fight three rounds), but that doesn't mean the Rademacher-Chemeres firm will shoot for a quick knockout. "We'll fight the fight we think necessary to win," Chemeres said. Hademachcr said his mind has been set on landing the champion- snip lor two years and he had not had time to make any fistic plans beyond Aug. 22. Patterson Arrives In Seattle, Wash. SEATTLE W Floyd Patter son, world s heavyweight cham pion, came to Seattle Monday to collect $250,000 for climbing into the same boxing ring with the world's amateur champion, Pete Rademacher. The 22-ycar-old titleholder stepped from the train after his long, transcontinental journey looking fit and ready to go any time. Their fight is set for the night of Aug. 22 in Sicks' Stadium. Asked if he were taking the sec ond defense of his title seriously, Patterson replied: "I've got to take Pete serious. He's a pro. You have to be an excellent fighter .to qualify for the Olympics and in my book, Rade macher, with all his experience, ranKs as a pro. The champion and his follow ers were taken by automobile to nearby Kent where Patterson will begin training. Hademachcr al ready is in training at Issaquah, a few miles away. Patterson guessed his weight at about 186 pounds, just a couple of pounds more than he weighed when he knocked out Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson in New York July 29. Patterson loosened up coming out on the train, working out in the baggage car, but still figured he had gained a pound or so. "I eat real well on the train," he said. Rademacher chalked up his 84th round of leather tossing Sunday with two brisk stanzas with his sparring partners. Hauemacner will, lane Monday off but will have a complete phy sical checkup by three Seattle physicians.

Aug. 13, 1957 The Radio, Television Spurned In Heavyweight Title Joust By JACK HEWINS SEATTLE W NO radio, nO television. When Floyd Patterson and Pcle Rademacher meet here Aug. 22 it will be the first time a heavy weight championship fight has not been broadcast since the Roar ing Twenties when Jack Dempsey was king of the ring. Promoter Jack Hurley, who has opined over television that tele vision is a monster, said Friday he will not permit radio and TV even if he has a complete sellout of the $400,000-capacity Sicks' Se attle Stadium. It wouldn't be fair to the peo ple who have bought tickets," as serted the gaunt, plain-spoken man known hereabouts as "The Dea con." He has been a foe of TV for many years, claiming it was running me out of business Dy giving away my product." Even Hurley best friends arc puzzled that he can cold-shoulder the added thousands that televis ion and radio could bring. They have heard him remark that man s only hobby should be count ine his monev." Probing his memory, nuriey said the first heavyweight title fight given radio coverage was the Dempsey-Georges Carpenter bout in 1921. All others since have been broadcast and in recent years telecast. i This decision means Rademach- j er's cut of the gate will be zero. I Pete's backers in Georgia have ' put up a $250,000 guarantee for ; Patterson and will take 60 per cent ! of the gate. With a $400,000 sell-! out, that leaves the Rademacher camp $10,000 short of breaking even. For brawny Pete this is noth- ing new.
