Kaline Celebrates AL Batting Mantle, Birthday Chicago U.R) Al Kaline celebrated his 21st birthday to day as theg youngest batting champion in major league his tory. 1 - ' '' And, on the day he officially becomes a man, the Detroit Tig ers' $35,000 bonus beauty might well ponder the paths taken by two previous "boy wonder" champions. One went on to glory, the other to heart-break. Official figures released by the Howe News Bureau disclos ed that Kaline, won the Ameri- Lati league uaitiug line liiu jrcai wun a .ou average ana aiso topped the circuit with 200 hits and 321 total bases. Ted Wil liams, the Boston Red Sox's great slugger, hit .356 but his 320 official times at bat were Balding Cops Golf Crown Sanford, Fla.. (U.P.) Can adian PGA champion Al Bald ing said today he'll use the $2,- 400 winner's purse from his first U. S. triumph today to con- tinue touring the winter golf circuit. "If I hadn't won any money here, I would have had to go back home," said the lanky 31- year-old Ontario pro who on the $15,000 Mayfair tournament Sunday with a final round 68 and a 72-hole total of 269. Sam Snead, who blew his chancK in the final round, said "I just wasn't playing well, but I guess you can't win 'em all." Beats Oliver Despite of a bogey on the final hole, Balding was one stroke better than Oliver who shot a 69 to tie Mike Souchak of Gross inger, N.Y., for second at 270. Snead, the favorite and lead er at the halfway point, slipped to a 72 in the last round and wound up in a tie with four other pros in sixth place with 275.

Byron Dickenson In Skiing Race Timberline Lodge (U.P.) : Byron Dickenson of Seattle took first place in the A men's div ision at the annual Arnold Limn race yesterday, as the Pacific Northwest ski season opened in a heavy snowstorm. Dickenson covered the 2V2 mile course in 3:58.6. Dale El mer, 16-year-old Portland high school-student bettered this time however, with 3:54.8 in taking the junior men's title. Ann Stone of Portland, won the junior nov 80 short of the required mini mum for consideration as league champion. Until Kaline came along, the great Ty Cobb was the youngest player ever to win a batting title. The Georgia Peach was in his 20th year when he won his crown in 1907 but was one day older than Kaline. Cobb was born on Dec. 18, 1886; Ka line on Dec. 19, 1934. Injuries Ruined Careers Cobb, of course, went on to win 12 AL titles and baseball immortality. Pete Reiser of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the, other "boy wonder" champion, went on to heart-break, however, aft er winning the National league crown in 1941 at the age of 22. The following season he encoun tered a string of injuries that eventually ruined what prom ised to be one of the greatest of all careers. Vic Power of the Kansas City Athletics finished second to Ka line with .319, followed by George Kell and Nelson Fox of the Chicago White Sox with .312 and .311 respectively. Only four other players hit .300 or more. Mickey Mantle, the New York Yankees' fitful star, led the league in home run swith 37, while Ray Boone of the Detroit Tigers and Jackie Jensen of the Red Sox shared the lead in runs batted in with 116 each.

PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture lube dull and weak? Most picture tubes can be restored to original brightness at only a fraction of the cost of replacement. For further information CALL Electronic Service 18 N. GRAPE PH. 3.-1971 were handed the ticklish job of making newly recruited 17 .and 18-year-old Reservists and Na tional Guardsmen like the Army without coddling or pamper ing, them. Whether they succeeded in making military service reason ably attractive without sacrific ing efficiency or necessary train ing may best be judged by en listments and the comments of the youngsters who signed up under the new Reserve Forces Act. The majority of the 255 trainees who completed their first week here under the short ened training program agreed that "it's a pretty good deal." Pvt. Dohn L. Kalmbach, Som ers, Conn., remarked that he joined the Reserve this fall in stead of entering the University of Michigan. "Next fall, I can start my col lege career and it won't be in- Army Reservists Agreed Program 'Pretty Good Deal1 Ft. Knox, Ky. (U.R) Officers I terrupted by military service," and non-coms at Ft. Knox and he pointed out. four other Army posts this fall Another trainee, Pvt. William E. Wilson of Louisvme, jy., thought he might make the Army his career. "This six months is a sort of sample, to see if I really want a military career before I get tied up for a long period," the young National Guardsman said. Some "Extras" Wilson said he liked the train ing despite the unexpected rigors of a surprise unit inspection on the third day in camp by Brig. Gen. Hugh P. Harris, chief of staff, 2nd Army; and Brig. Gen. Samuel L. Myers, commanding the Armored Replacement Train ing Center here, which conducts the Ft. Knox phase of the pro gram. General Myers said the re cruits conducted themselves "particularly well" for such green rookies. He pointed out that this group and the four similar groups at other posts would receive a few training "extras." No ice cream and cookies, perhaps, but the dining hall is a little better than the average mess hall, and rec reational facilities are a little more complete. AH of our cadremen are hand-picked leaders, free of court-martial records, with pleas ing personalities and of high moral character," Myers pointed out. "They were chosen for their ability to 'sell' the Army as a career. "These men are not here for a picnic, but to be trained as soldiers. We feel that with fan handling, understanding and a tough course of instruction, they will react well and their parents will be impressed.". Eight Weeks of Basic Five military posts now are training a total of 1,167 Reserve and National Guard personnel. Ft. Knox has 158 Reservists, 97 Guardsmen. As in any other outfit in mili tary history, there are some gripes. Charles M. Russell, Ashland, Ky., a member of the 364th En gineers, Organized Reserve, said he signed up because he wanted to get his 'military obligations tmt of the way before going to college. "But," he said with a wry grin, "it sounded better before I got into it than it does now." The first eight weeks are basic training, the same course given to all Army inductees. After basic, each trainee will get two weeks' furlough and then report for advanced branch training as determined by his home unit. . After 10 weeks of advanced training, each man will be as signed to a unit for four weeks of additional training, complet ing six months of the training period. The Army's responsibil ity then ends, and the Reservists return to their units at Jhome and remain in the Active Re serve for IV2 years. National Guardsmen under this program will reduce their Reserve obligation by two years. Mother, Children Die in House Fire Seattle, Wash. U.P.) A young mother and her two sons died in the flames of their burn ing home here this morning as they tried to seek refuge through the smoke.

Malone, 33, escaped from the flames and Susan May, 18 months, and Joan, 2, were thrown from the house to safety in the snow by a passerby. The rescuer of the two little girls was Glen A. Bailey, who saw the flames as he worked in a bakery across the street. He suffered burns and was hospitalized. Neuberger Praises Reciprocal Trade Portland U.R) Sen. Richard L. Neuberger last night spoke in praise of President Eisenhower's reciprocal-trade program. The Oregon Democrat told delegates to the annual meeting of the Japanese-American Citi zens league here that President Eisenhower had done "the wise and far-sighted thing" in con tinuing "trade policies begun by Secretary of State Cordell Hull in. 1936.". Neuberger said that the Unit ed States would be far better off to make tariff concessions to ad mit Japanese goods than to have "to feed and clothe Japan out of the U.S. treasury."
