To prove it, ho rejected DeWitt s first two salary offers and then went to Cincin nati Thursday to confront Uie boss in person. N.

"It's time pinch hitters re ceived the aame recognition ac corded top relief pitchers," said Lynch, who numbered five home runs among his 1981 pinch hits. "And 1 figure it's time I set a alary precedent." Lynch, who Is viewed primarily as a pinch-hitler although he did bat .315 In 96 games for the season, la pulling down one of the highest salaries In history for his specialty. Johnny Mize prob ably earned $25,000 to $27,000 as a plnch-hlttlng specialist for the Yankees and Dusty Rhodes may have been paid $20,000 by the Giants after his fabulous plnch hittlng exploits of 1954.

Folley still hoping for shot at title DENVER (UPI) - Zora Folley, relaxing after a nol-too strenuous knockout victory over brawling Mike De John, pinned his hopes today for a shot at Uie heavy weight crown on Sonny Liston. The 29-year-old Folley, a top ranking contender for more than five years, has never been given a chance to fight (or the big one the heavyweight championship. Thursday night's throe-knockdown victory over De John at 2:24 of Uio third round was his 36th win via tho KO route, yet he may never get to fight for the cham pionship. "I've been number one. two or three in the heavyweight rank ings for the last five years," the Chandler, Ariz. Negro commented without malice, "and I've never got a shot at it." He meant that heavyweight champion Floyd Pat terson had never been willing to give him a title shot "If Llslon did get the cham pionship, I think he would fight the top contenders," Folley said. "I think Patterson Is a fine fight er, but he won't fight a top con tender." Folley pointed out that ratter- son fought the likes of Roy Har ris and Peta Rademacher when Folley was the top contender. Folley Is currently ranked No. 4 In the heavyweight division by Uie NBA. OLYMPIC STAR DIES PHILADELPHIA (UPI) - Dr. Josiah C.

Everybody Buys Wholesale At Clausen's Auto Center CLAUSEN'S AUTO CENTER Turley flinging hard without pain once again By Oscar Fraley UPI Sraff Wrlttr FORT LAUDERDALE. Fla. (UPI) Bob Turley's dream today is to go back four years and he hopefully finds "all Uie signs very encouraging." Turley is the big righthander who led the American League with 21 victories for the New York Yankees in 1958. It earned him honors as Uie top profession al athlete of Uie year along with Uie $10,000 Hickok belt Then the roof started to sag and It fell In on him completely last year. The strapping 31-year-old from East SL Louis, 111., had two medi ocre seasons as his arm started to act up and last year he won only three games and wasn't able to pitch after July. "I thought It would clear up with rest but last spring I felt it worse than ever, he remem bered. "It got worse and worse until finally I had to quit al together. Worried? I was sick." Operation Was Needed But Turley, after desperately trying just one inning of relief in September, finally realized that the knife was the only an swer. "They found quite a mess," he explained as he sat in the dugout after a long workout as one of the early birds of Uie Yankee training camp. "There were a couple of bone chips rattling around In there, a couple of bone spurs and some inflamed ten dons." The wait for the start of spring training was one of the longest periods of Turley's life. For a man never knows whether tho surgeon's scalpel will leave his arm as strong and skillful as it was before. But all the signs now are very encouraging," says Turley, who many thought had come to the end of Uie road. "I've been throwing real loose for about fif teen minutes every day, including batting practice, and I haven't had a bit of pain. The difference Is wonderful and I really feel better about being able to do Uie job." Yank Pitching Wobbled It would make Uie Yankees happy, too. Manager Ralph Houk took Uie pennant and Uie World Scries in his freshman year at the Yankee helm but it was touch and go at too many Intervals as his pitching staff wobbled continu ally. A well and effective Turley could be Uie difference between winning once again and possibly losing to one of Uie hungry con tenders. Turley, a quiet, serious young man, looks at his chances in a calm, analytical manner and makes no extravagant claims. "I've got a whole year to get back because as litUe as I pitched last year just about cancels out Uie whole season for me," he ex plained. "Which means that I've got a lot of work ahead of me to regain mat winning touch. "The way to get Uiat back," he added, "Is to get off good and pitch regularly. I'm sure Uiat I still have my basic pitches so that all I should have to do is work for condition and control." But only Ume will give him Uie answer, he admitted. "The exhibition games will tell a lot and by Uie end of spring training," he said, "I should have a good idea what's ahead. But you don't mind Uie work and the waiting as long as nothing huras." The Yankees, too, are waiting and watching. They won it with out him but in a league where Uiey are everybody's number one target Uie "old" Turley of 1958 well could be Uie decisive edge. Dayton beats Pilots 50-47 DAYTON, Ohio (Uri) - The Dayton Flyers rallied in the final five minutes to scoro a 50-47 bas ketball win over the Portland Pi lots here Thursday nitht. Dayton, which trailed 25-21 at halftimo, went ahead to stay at 46-45 on a field goal by Stan Green on a tip-in with 4:11 re maining. Steve Anstett of Portland topped all scorers with 20 points.

Hermisfon 'invincible but only in home gym The Hermiston Bulldogs have been invincible in seven home league contests this season. But get 'em away from home, and they're just another basketball team. Tho Bulldogs, who tangle with Uie Bend High Bruins at 8:15 here tonight, have an 8-3 record good enough for second place in this year's Intermountain Con ference extravaganza. But seven of those eight wins were at home. On Uie road, the Bulldogs have managed to win but one contest catching The Dalles with a 57-49 victory. They lost three road league games to Baker, 41-35; La Grande, 53-52; and to PrineviUo, 75-59. That 75-59 licking on the Prine ville court was Hermiston's worst beating since back in Uie gray days of December. Prineville, following that im pressive win, was given an out side chance to grab second and a spot in Uie A-l tourney at Eugene in March. But just six days later, at Bend last Friday, Prineville's tourney hopes were KO'd by a husUing Bend team that won its first lea gue game of tho season by a seven-point 56-49 margin. Saturday Uie Bruins conUnued to look tough in losing at The Dalles 64-58. So, tonight's game is rated a tossup despite Her miston's 8-3 league mark and Bend's unimpressive 1-10 IC rat ing. A couple of Larrys gave Bend Uie most trouble at Hermiston in January, with Uie Bulldogs easily winning 61-42. In that game Larry Losness scored 12 and 6-2 Larry Cnime 11. Others who gave Bend trouble In that game were Lou Stacker, Bud Stratton, Jack Miller and a little speedster, Ron Koivisto. Bend Coach Chuck Hudson has not Indicated what lineup he'U use against Uie rtm-and-shoot HermiS' ton offense. But he has the height to field a squad averaging 6-3. Redmond gets to host a good Pendleton club, once Uie confer ence favorite but now in Uurd place wiUi a 6-5 record. In order to even get a smell at Uiat slate tourney, Uie Bucks wiu have to sweep Uieir Uiree remain ing games and pray lor a couple of Hermiston losses. But Uie Pendleton team has had Uie same trouble Uiat Hermiston BASEBALL BOWLING SET TAMPA, Fla. (UP) A $2,500 bowling competition for major league baseball players, mana gers, coaches, officials and the press will be held at East Gate Lanes here an March 21. SAVE! Friday, February 16, 1962 has had winning on the road. And Redmond, always tough, is just that much tougher In its home confines. The Panthers haven't any where near the height to match Pendleton, which features the likes of 6-5 Ray Hughes, 6-4 Lar ry French and 6-3 Curt Thorne. But the Panthers have one of the league's top rcbounders in Ed Sturza. In other games tonight, Prine ville is at Baker and The Dalles is at La Grande. 196S CHEVROLET JOBMASTER TRUCKS built beffer...work longer! When Chevrolet builds a truck, it builds a quality truck.

(UPI) - It's a wood, a wedge and a puttln' prayer in Uie Tucson Open golf tournament The $20,000 event wheeled into Uie second round today with also ran Buddy Sullivan of Yuba City, Calif., who seldom finishes in Uie money, leading the race with a Udy UtUe 61 to his credit nine strokes under par. On most courses, that would be a record. Here it Ues the mark hold by Don January, Phil Rodg ers and Frank Stranahan. It was good for a two stroke lead over veteran Tucson amateur Dr. Ed Updegraff, and unknown pro Bob Stone from JuncUon City, Kan., who never in his life has won a nickel in a PGA tournament That's a nondescript group in the lead. But It happens to be in front of such men as PGA cham pion Jerry Barber (66). and Na Uonal Open champion Gene Lit tler (67), among others in the crack field. Sullivan, never a winner, came close on this same 6,464-yard El Rio course last year. He tied for Uie UUe with Davey Hill and Tommy Bolt But Hill won a sud den-death play-off on Uie third hole. Sullivan had nine birdies, no bogies. His longest birdie putt was from 15 feet. He had one from 10. And all the rest were from seven feet or less. Unlike most of Uie pros, he used a seven-iron twice on approaches.
