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." ,

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

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.

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.
