Azalea Won
By Johnson
Wilmington N. C. (IP)
"Positive thinker" Howie
Johnson of Glenwoodie, 111.,
has his first major profes
sional golf victory but it
came a little sooner than he
expected.
Johnson beat defending
champion Arnold Palmer by
one stroke Monday in an 18
hole playoff for top money in
the 10th annual Azalea Open
Golf tournament.
Johnson shot only a five-over-par
77 in the playoff but
the lackluster performance
was enough to beat Palmer's
78 for the title. Johnson and
the former Wake Forest col
lege star from Latrobe, Pa.,
had tied with 282 at the end
of the regulation 72 holes that
wound up Sunday.

foul off the bat of Charley
Neal of the Los Angeles Dod

hand, split the web between

Grand Jury
Summons

more fighters and a fight
manager were under sub
poena to appear before a
Manhattan grand jury as Dis
trict Attorney Frank Hogan
pressed his investigation to
day of crime in boxing.
Rudy Sawyer and Jimmy
Peters, principals in a widely
televised welterweight bout at
St. Nicholas arena Monday
night, received summonses in
their dressing rooms along
with Marty Sampson, manag

the bout.
Peters is managed by Her

world figure Frankie Carbo,
as charged by Hogan.
No Reason Told
No specific reason for the
latest subpoenas was an
nounced, except that Sawyer,
Peters, and Sampson were
called as witnesses in the box
ing investigation. The action
was similar to that taken on
the night of March 22 when
both principals in the Virgil
Akins-Isaac Logart and sev
eral other fight figures were
given summonses.
Wallman's attorney, Mich
ael Kern, . appeared before
Judge John A. Mullen in
Special Sessions court Mon
day with a motion calling ior
the return of Wallman's rec
ords seized last week by. Ho
gan. Kern said that the fight

the investigation but that he
wants the records back "to
prove a legal point."

Baltimore Orioles
Considerably Better
By HAL WOOD
Scottsdale, Ariz. (IP) The
Baltimore Orioles will field a
"considerably better" club
than ever since the city came
back to major league baseball,
Manager Paul Richards said.
The greying boss of the
Orioles is optimistic about the
chances of this team rand he
is willing to tell the world.
"In Gus Triandos and My
ron Ginsberg we have two
fine catchers. Triandos has
the best throwing arm in
baseball. We expect his hit
ting to improve year after
year. He has hit 40 home runs
for us in the last two years in
the biggest park in the ma
jors.
Two Men at First
"We have two good first
basemen, Bob Boyd hit .318
for us last year and is a slick
fielder. Jim Marshall, up
from Vancouver of the Paci
fic Coast league, hit 30 home
runs and drove in 102 runs.
"At second base we have
the best defensive fielder in
the league in Bill Gardner.
He hit .262 for us last year
and played every inning of
the season. On top of that he
is a clutch hitter.
"Our two shortstops can't
be compared with the best de
fensive men in history,, but
Willie Miranda and Ronnie
Hansen give us adequate pro
tection.
"Our third baseman is
Brooks Robinson. He is a
great defensive player. If he
hits better and we have
hopes he will mean a lot
to us.
Outfield Set
"The outfield is set with Al
Pilarcik, Jim Busby and Bob
Nieman. They'll provide a
good punch with defensive
ability. Backing them up we
have a couple of other good
men.
"Our pitching staff is head
ed by Connie Johnson, Billy
Loes, Hector (Skinny) Brown,
Jack Harshman and Bill O'
Dell. Behind them we have

In 10-Rounder
New York (IP) As a
fight trainer, Sandy Saddler
is a hard man to please.
After watching his protege,
welterweight Rudy Sawyer of
New York, punch out a un
animous 10-round decision
over Jimmy Peters in their
televised fight Monday night
Saddler shook his head and
remarked: -
"Rudy should have won
easier. He was too anxious,
he was dancing around too
much, and he wasn't effective
enough with his left hand.
But, what the heck, he's still
learning."
However, Sawyer was im
pressive enough to earn the
sweeping approval of referee
Petey Scalzo 6-3-1 in rounds
and the two judges, Mike Da
vidowitch 8-2 and Bill Recht
7-3. The United Press also
favored Sawyer, 9-1.
In registering his 15th vic
tory in 17 pro fights, Sawyer
outpunched Peters all the
way but failed to floor the
Washington, D.C., scrapper.
