HR Post (7th, Score Slates Vision Tests Cleveland, Ohio W Cleve land pitcher Herb Score was to undergo another series of vi sion tests today before learing when he can return to the mound. The southpaw, who says his vision remains "fuzzy at long distances," indicated he would go to his home in Lake Worth, Fla.. if eye specialist Dr. Charles I. Thomas ordered another long period of rest. Dr. Thomas said he would give the 24-year-old pitcher Snellen tests to determine how far along the injured eye has progressed. Last week the specialist said it mey be four or five more weeks before Score could begin working out. but he added the tests scheduled for today would give him a chance to be more certain about the length of the recuperating period. Score returned to Cleveland Monday after spending 12 days at his uncle's home in Hagers town, Md. He had been hospitalized three weeks, after being hit by a line drive off the bat of New" York infielder Gil McDougald May 7. In his first visit to the Cleve land clubhouse since his injury he told his teammates, "I feel like putting a uniform on right now." , Daily's U-Crive Medford Airport Wiff i Smith Falters in Final Round By JOHN CARROLL Pittsburgh W Louise Suggs, who thought she "didn't have a ghost of a chance," won the S7.500 ladies' PGA cham pionship Monday at Churchill Valley Country Club with a siz zling two-under men's par 68 that tied the course record for women and set a fiew mark with a three-under-par 31 on the final nine. "I am completely overcome with what happened," the smil ing Miss Suggs, of Sea Island, Ga., said accepting a check for $1,316 in top prize-money. The LPGA president, who proved to her fellow members who was boss by erasing a three stroke deficit going into the final round to win by the same margin over a "tensed-up" Wiffi Smith, said she honestly didn't believe she could win. Playing Bad Golf "I had been playing bad golf all week, but in the final round my drives turned straight, my irons were working and I sure ly won't complain about my putts," she admitted before tak ing a three week breather. She plans to follow the rest of the touring women pros into the Ladies' National Open the last week of June at the Wing Foot Club in Mamaroneck. N.Y. For Miss Suggs, victory came after she put together rounds of 69-74-74-68 for a five-over-par total of 285. The 20-year-old Miss Smith, playing out of St. Clair, Mich., finished second with a 288 for S921 in prize money. Splitting the S755 third place money were last year's LPGA champ Marlend Bauer Hagge, Dallas, Tex., and Bev erly Hanson, Indio, Calif., each with 290s. Next came Joyce Ziske, Wa terford. Wis., 293; Marilyn FASTEST TIME Bernie Miller of Grants Pass, above, driv ing a supercharged "Olds" dragster, roared down the track at 113 mph for the best time of the day at the drag races held by Southern Oregon Timing association at the Camn White strip Sunday. Miller was top eliminator two weeks ago, but two sheared axles prevented him from entering the final elimination Sunday. Miller and Bob Rudig, also of Grants Pass, are the builders and co-owners of the "souped up" machine. The next drag races sponsored by SOTA will be held at the Camp White strip Sunday, June 23. Smith, Wichita, Kan., 294, and Patty Berg, St. Andrews, 111., 295. Two-Stroke Penalty The turning point of the 72 hole tournament came on the 14th tee where freckle-faced Wiffi, playing in her first pro tour, sent her drive whistling into the woods to the right for an automatic two-stroke penalty. She was one-over at the time and wound up with a heart breaking seven for the par-four hole. Meanwhile. Miss Suggs was building up steam. She was one-over-par at 37 making the turn, after sinking her first birdie on No. 9. She also flashed birdies on the 11th, loth and 17 greens with the last one set up by a dazzling five wood shot that landed 21 2 feet from the pin. By that time, youthful Wiffi was too far behind to recover and finished with a 74. Salem Solons Sign Mad d ox Salem, Ore. HPi The Salem Senators of the Class B. Northwest league Monday an nounced they have signed Terry Maddox, three-time all Northern Division outfielder at the University of Oregon. Maddox is expected to see his first action against We natchee tonight.
