Lew Hoad Reportedly Will Cardinals Sum Biggest Iver Offered An Amateur N York W Lew Hoad, Australia's husky blond bomber c the tennis courts, will turn professional next week for the igSest guarantee ever offered an amateur in any sport, it was learned authoritatively Saturday night. Twenty-two-year-old Hoad, the world's foremost amateur who won the Wimbledon singles championship Friday for the sec ond straight time, will receive a guarantee ranging between $120,00 and $130,000 from pro moter Jack Kramer. When reach ed by telephone last night at Forest Hills, N.Y., Kramer re fused to discuss the Hoad situa tion. . However, Ted Schroeder Kramer's friend and associate did admit receiving a trans-At- Wntic phone call Saturday from Hoad. Schroeder said, "Lew asked me where Jack was and if he was still interested in him hadn't heard from him since last April- I said, 'Lew, you're in luck. Jack's in town just flew In from South America, and he's very much interested in you, You get right on a plane and come over here.' " Whether Hoad would take the plane, Schroeder wasn't sure. But an authoritative source as positive the Aussie ace would be in New York early next week to turn professional, despite Hoad's insistence at Wimbledon that he expected to remain an amateur "at least the rest of the year." Our source recalled also that after the Kramer-Hoad negoti ations at Los Angeles in April, Kramer was quoted as having admitted offering Lew a guaran tee of $125,000. A guarantee of more than $120,000 will be the largest ever given an amateur in any sport to turn professional. It will ex ceed the $119,000 reportedly guaranteed on June 1 to 18-year- old Robert Dale Taylor of Me tropolis. 111., to sign with the Milwaukee Braves as a catcher That is the baseball record. Cary's Practice Not Sufficient St. Andrews, Scotland (W Bobby Locke of South Africa, who won, and Cary Middlecoff of Memphis, who finished 14th, agreed Saturday on one thing about the .British Open golf championship. Middlecoff d i d n't get in enough practice licks on the tough old seaside course known as the "cradle of golf." Be-knickered Bobby," who could afford to be generous after pocketing $2,800 for his fourth British Open victory with a rec- ord-tieing 279, said he was sur prised Middlecoff hadn't done better but pointed out "he sim ply didn't allow himself enough time o get acquainted with the course." To that. Dr. Cary added, "Amen." Baseball Scores nUDAY'S RESULTS San Francisco 3. Portland 1 Vancouver 7. Los Angeles 4 San Diego 10. Hollywood 3 Seattle 3. Sacramento 2 National League Brooklvn 6.

Musial Fourth In Extra-Basers Chicago (IPI Stan Musial has passed another milestone on the road to baseball's Hall of Fame he now stands fourth in the all-time list of extra-base hits. Only Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Louh Gehrig have more extra base blows to their credit than the Cardinals' "Stan the Man." Musial passed Tris Speaker on the list Thursday when he hit a home run in the first game of a twin bill against the Cubs, the 1,133rd extra base hit of his ca reer. empty homer in the fourth. Mai- mbert tied it up in the fifth with a single that brought home Hay wood Sullivan. And lated in the same frame Hatton banged out a single on a 3-2 pitch that brought in three more runners. Loser Dick Marlowe (1-4) who went the route, hit the only RBI racked by the Beavers. He batted in Bob Borkowski and Ed Winceniak on a single in the second that put Portland ahead. But after the fifth it was all San Francisco with the Seals colecting two runs each in the sixth and seventh frames to ice the game. Harry Dorish collected the win, his eighth in 14 starts. Hollywood (IP) 'The Holly wood Stars collected 14 hits Saturday, including a grand slam homer by Leo Rodriguez, to dump the San Diego Padres, 12 to 3, in a Pacific Coast league game at Gilmore field. Bennie Daniels went the dis tance for the Stars, allowing on ly six hits for his fifth mound victory in a row and his 11th this season against two losses. The 11 wins' put him in a tie with Leo Kiely of San Francisco for the most pitching victories this year. The loss went against Ed Gasque (5-4), first of two San Diego pitchers.

Harney Takes One Stroke Links Lead Ste. Dorothee, Que. OP) Slim Paul Harney, a long driv ing pro from Bolton, Mass., shot his llth consecutive round of par or better golf Saturday to take a one-stroke lead in the 529,000 Labatt open after 54 holes. The 27-year-old Harney, who won his first major tournament three weeks ago at Flint, Mich., followed up a pair of 69's with a two-under 70 Saturday for a three-round total of 208. But pressing him with seven-under-par 209's were three other par- busters Dow Finsterwald, Tequestra, Fla.; Little Joe Con rad, San Antonio, Texas.; and ueorge Bayer. Masters champion Doug Ford making a strong bid for his sec ond straight tournament win, shot a four-under 68 over the wide-open Islesmere course to move into a tnree-way tie at 211 with Gene Littler, Singing Hills, Calif, and Bill Trombley, Dal las, Texas. Bert Weaver, who suffered a two-stroke penalty in the first round, remained in contention at 212 with Ken Venturi. the slim San Franciscan who shared the 36-hole lead with Harney at 138. After birdieing the sec ond hole, he ran up three bo geys and finished four strokes off the pace with 68-70-74. Eight others, including defend champion Bill Casper, Jr., Bon- ita, Calif., were bunched at 214. Seven were one under par af ter three rounds, at 215. and three others even par with 216's. Finsterwald, Improving every day, has put together rounds of 72-69-68 to move within one shot of the pace. The slender second leading money winner on the tour was one under with a 35 on the out nine, but then counted three birdies and six pars to finish 35-33-68. Tommy Jackson Invents Word Columbia, N.J. (IPI Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson, who has trouble with big words, invented one of his own Saturday to de scribe what he intends to do to Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson in their title fight at the Polo Grounds July 29. Jackson, who lost a split de-! cision to Patterson last year, was ' asked by Comedian Jackie Glea-! son if he expected to rectify that j July 29. 'T don't know about that," said Hurricane after a long pause, "all I know is I'm gonna wreck tify that Patterson."

Turn Pro; Musial Leads Card Attack, Yankees Win By UNITED PRESS Ken Boyer drove in four runs and Stan Musial knocked in three as he passed another mile stone on the road to the Hall of Fame Saturday to spark the St. Louis Cardinals to a 13-3 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs. The loss dropped the Redlegs into third place, one and a half games behind the Cardinals and two percentage points behind the Milwaukee Braves who played the Chicago Cubs in a night game. Kansas City was at De troit in an American League arc-lighter. Both Boyer and Musial bash ed a homer and a single as the latter raised his career hit to tal to 2,885 14th on the all- time list. Willard Schmidt, who struck out seven batters in 1-13 innings of relief work, received credit for his seventh victory while Johnny Klippstein suf fered his eighth defeat compared with three wins.

Sanford struck out eight bat ters for the Phillies while rook ie first baseman Ed Bouchee hit the big blow of the game when he homered with two aboard in the fourth off Don Drysdale.

Bob Feller Takes Blasts At Baseball San Francisco ITO Bob Fel ler, v who fast-balled his way to iame with the Cleveland Indians, is still ignoring the "let-up" in his verbal pitches at what he thinks is wrong with the national game. Feller's latest high, hard one may have had them ducking clear across the continent in New York and Brooklyn. I m all in favor of any shifts which can help baseball," the former ace pitcher said here Friday, ''but I think that the an nouncements and publicity made by loud mouth magnates in the middle of the season is a real bush way of doing business." He accused these magnates of hurting attendance at home and in the minors." Only One Opinion I'eller, who recently told a Congressional committee investi gating baseball that club owners are "arrogant," wound up on the same target in his news confer ence here. 'There's only one union in baseball now," Feler said, "and that consists of the 16 owners. You might compare them to the National Association of Manu facturers." Feller, here for a baseball clinic, also fired at baseball's controversial reserve clause. Teams now can tie up kids for their lifetime and I donH think it is fair," he said. "They call baseball the great American pastime but what is more un- American than tying a player to a club against his will?" He suggested that the reserve clause might be revised so that both the player and the owner would have an option to renew their contract. Stars Sign George Vico Hollywood OH The Hol lywood Stars Saturday announc ed the signing of George Vico, 34-year-old first baseman-out fielder, to replace injured Emil Panko. The six foot, four inch, 200 pound Vico, a public relations executive with the Dominguez water company, will play all home games and as many games as his work schedule will per mit, according to Hollywood Manager Clyde Kind. Vico has been batting prac tice pitcher for Hollywood for the last two years. He played with the Stars in the latter parts of 1954 and 1955 seasons. A long-ball hitter, Vico hit eight homeruns for Hollywood in compiling a .283 average in 1955. Panko was placed on the dis abled list after it was discover ed he had suffered a chipped ankle. FANS FINED Philadelphia (IP) A couple of eager Philadelphia baseball fans learned Friday it's a pretty expensive proposition when you jump the fence at Connie Mack stadium to retrieve a ioui Daii. Earl Litz of Lock Haven, Pa., and Willie Taylor of Coatesville, Pa., were fined $10 and costs for doing just that during Thurs day's doubleheader between the Phillies and Giants.

Musial, the Cardinal first sacker, having one of his great est years, will be performing in his 14th All-Star game and Wil liams, the Boston left fielder also in the thick of the batting and home run race, will play in his 13th. Yogi Berra will be playing in his eighth game, George Kell his sixth and N.ellie Fox his fifth.' In fact, the only first-timer in the starting lineups is Cincinnati Third Baseman Dm Hoak.
