Rochester, N. Y OJ.PJ Hot
tempera and hot temperatures,
which sometimes go together,
atirred things up today in the
National Open much more than
the hot golf that was predicted
for this year's blue ribbon links
championship.
Only one man in the unwieldy
field of 160. Bob Rosburg of
Palo Alto, Calif., was able to
break par in Thursday's open
ing round and he shot a 34-34
68 to take a two-stroke lead in
a gruelling day that was notable
for arguments and complaints
than for good golf.
It was the sun that burned up
the fairway not the golfers, who
were Just burned up. There were
four major rhubarbs and though
all were settled for the rec
ord the wrangling was ex
pected to continue today.
One item seemed crystal clear
as the tournament went into the
second crucial day wherein all
but the low 50 and ties will be
eliminated for Saturday's double
round of 36 holes for the cham
pionship. That was that the Oak
Hills course was nowhere near
as easy as it had been rated by
the pros.
Course Very Tough
The rought was rougher, the
greens faster and the fairways
bouncier under the sun-baking
treatment and it appeared that a
total of 284 four over par for
the 72 holes, would be enough
to win.
If so, Rosburg and Peter
Thomson, the British Open king
from Australia, were in an
especially advantageous posi
tion. Thompson rated next to
Rosburg with a first round of 70
and they were followed by eight
more at the 71 level. They in
cluded former Open champs
Julius Boros of Southern Pines,
N.C., Ed Furgol of Creve Couer,
Mo., Cary Middlecoff, and PGA
champion Doug Ford of Ma
hopac, N.Y. All were in an ex
cellent position to move out
front with a hot round.
As for the controversies that
enlivened Thursday's activities,
the major one involved the ac
tion of a U.S. Golf Assn. official
on the 11th hole. He made all
golfers who hit into the pond in
front of the green go across the
hazard and play from under
trees instead of playing from
where the ball went into the
water. The language of the pros
involving this official was so
strong that they wouldn't
identify their quotes.
Partners Question Card
Another squabble involved the
veteran British golfer, Henry
Cotton, who was challenged by
his threesome partners, Middle
coff and Jimmy Dcmaret with
turning in a wrong card. They
claimed Cotton scored himself a
five on the par four 17th when
he should have turned in a six.
They said he missed a three-foot
putt, then jabbed it backhanded
and missed again. But Cotton's
count of 74 was accepted by the
rules committee when he said he
merely had struck the green in
exasperation with his putter and
that he had not attempted to
back-hand the ball.
Boros had his troubles which
involved a 35-minute wait for
the removal of a truck behind
which he had sliced his drive on
the 18th fairway. Boros, not
noted for his patience anyway,
fumed until the driver of the
truck could come and move it
out of the way.

do It?
It's one thing to produce a fine whiskey

the layout comparatively easy
for an Open, didn't exactly tear
it apart and was among a large
group at 72. Sam Snead, who
probably won't do any better in
this Open than in others where
he has missed the boat, was five
over part at 75.
Four Clubs
Trade in
Final Deals
By UNITED PRESS
Only four major league clubs
the Cardinals, Giants, Yankees
and Athletics bothered to get
in under the wire with deals be
fore the official major league
deadline for trading at midnight
tonight.
The biggest deal was the eight
player trade which sent Alvin
Dark, Whitney Lockman, Don
Liddle and Ray Katt from the
Giants to the Cardinals for AI
(Red) Schoendienst, Bill Sarni,
Dick Littlefield and rookie
Jackie Brandt.
But the Yankees and Athle
tics also figured in another four
player deal of their own.
Eddie Robinson, 35-year-old
long ball hitting first baseman,
was sent to Kansas City by the
Yankees along with outfielder
Lou Skizas, who was with the
Yanks Richmond farm club in
the International League.
In exchange, the Yankees ac
quired Ed Burtschy and out
fielder Bill Renna, both of whom
were assigned to Richmond,
along w i t h an undisclosed
amount of cash. The Yankees
also brought up outfielder Norm
Siebern from Denver of the
American Assn. and restored
shortstop Bill Hunter to the ac
tive list.
In the only other pre-dead-line
activity, the Red Sox op
tioned third . baseman Frank
Malzone to San Francisco of the
Pacific Coast League.

Laundry Pays $7,700 for
Well Aimed Long Ball
By JOE McDAVID
United Preis Sports Writer
Memphis, Tenn. (U.R)
Mickey Mantle may be the new
"King of swat," but he never got
as much out of one blow as did
Jim Marshall, the long-ball run-
nerup in the Southern Associa
tion. Marshall has collected $1,100
for one swing of his bat.
Jaunty Jim hit the baseball
jackpot when he lined a tower
ing drive to right-center field
here. The 475-foot clout bounced
off a laundry company sign
which brings $1,000 for being
battered.
The laundry also gives $100
for each homer in Memphis'
Russwood park, so Marshall's
whack netted him a cool $1,100.
The sign has had many a blow
aimed at it in the past eight
years, but Marshall has been the
only man to collect.
Most ball players would be
overjoyed to have the reputation
of a slugger, but not Marshall.
He'd rather be known as a .300
hitter.
"Guys like Babe Ruth and
Ted Williams can have their
cake and eat it too," said Mar
shall. "But not me. As long as 1
go for the long ball, I'll have to
sacrifice percentage.
"I gotta do one or the other
slug or stroke. My managers and
the fans seem to want me to
slug."
Mor.d To PCL
When Marshall started in pro
fessional baseball at Albuquer
que in 1950, he hit .336. Marshall
was stroking then. But toward
the end of the season, he began
stretching his swing and hitting
homers.
That did it. Marshall was call
ed up by Oakland in the Pacific
Coast league the following sea
son. He has never reached the
.300 mark since, though he has
come close.
Even his record of homers
24, 31 and 30 at Oakland, 24 at
Nashville and 13 here this sea
son offer little consolation for
Joltin' Jim.
The philosophical young giant
quite naturally ranks high with
the owners of the Memphis
Chicks' baseball club. He also
causes them more worry than
most any other player on the
squad.
The head men in the Chicks'
front office figure Marshall is
too good to last.
They have reason to worry.
Chain Of Command
' Marshall is on option from the
Chicago White Sox ... the
White Sox need a first baseman
. . . and that s what Marshall is.
The White Sox's regular first
baseman, Walt Dropo, is in one
of the worst batting slumps of
his career, prodding the ball at
around the .150 mark. Rookie
stand-in Ron Jackson is fighting
hard to keep his average near
.250.
Looking toward Memphis, the
White Sox find Marshall runner
up in the Southern in home runs
and batting .244.
To top it off, Marshall also
is one of the fanciest glove men

The situation being what it is,
the 24-year-old slugger seems a
sure bet to move up to the
majors soon.
But whether he goes to the
majors, or stays in the South
ern, Marshall's goal will be the
same:
"Just let me hit .300 now and
then."

Farm Families
Assigned Role
In Preparedness
Washington (U.R) The Fed
eral Civil Defense administra
tions has assigned farm families
a vital role in the national prep
aration program.
In its new leaflet, "RFD Rur
al Family Defense," the FCDA
outlines a five-point program
designed to maintain the na
tion's agricultural productivity
in the face of enemy attack.
The first of the five points
deals with the welfare of tha
farmer himself. Farmers are
urged to provide earth-covered
shelters for their families as pro
tection against the radioactive
fallout that would follow atomic
attack on this country.
They should familiarize them
selves with the symptoms of dis
ease and sickness stemming from
chemical germ warfare and
learn what remedial action can
be taken if either is detected.
Secondly, survivors of a suc
cessful attack on American tar
get cities would be totalljvdepen
dent on food stored in rural
areas within two weeks, so the
farmer must plan to keep his
farm in production.
Crop Marketing
The third, fourth and fifth
points to the FCDA rural defense
program concern crop market
ing, sheltering evacuees and
helping others in need.
The farmer should know what
plans have been made by his
county for marketing farm prod
ucts in an emergency. He should
learn where his produce will be
needed and be ready to deliver
it there.
Rural residents are urged to
make plans now to shelter and
feed evacuees from target cities.
The law provides that farmers
will be paid "for anything that
is properly requisitioned."
Rural families should be pre
pared to help others in event of
attack.
"If you are not in Civil De
fense, ask your local or county
Olvil Defense agency how you
may join ... If there is none in
your area, help to get one start
ed," the leaflet urges.
"The principles of civil de
fense are not new to rural peo
ple," the pamphlet emphasizes.
Farm families are accustomed to
taking care of their own and
helping others, "but the prob
lems and dangers posed by pos
sible enemy attack can be met
and answered only by organiza
tion. Civil Defense is that organization."
