New York (UPI) What
American tennis needs to re

from Australia, former Davis

in the spring and fall and
even during the Christmas
holidays.
"Our youngsters are just
as good players as the Austra
lian kids," Talbert insisted.
"It's simply that the Austra
lian system beats ours."
Not, crew-cut Billy says em

About Portland

Portland (UPI) Offic

Don Walker, Portland sec

Yankee general manager, had

In Qualifying
Riverside, Calif. (UPI)
Veteran race driver Arg

The Riverside Community

in "good" condition, despite
several possible fractures.
The first Boy Scout camp

The speedway listed 22 cars
running shortly after the
crash. The others who were
not listed among the running
cars and who presumably
were involved in the crash
were Paul Goldsmith, Art

The speedway did not list

parently was not involved in

Shorty Templeman also was

swer is obvious. The Austra
lian youngster of promise vir
tually becomes a tennis pro.
He plays tennis the year
around and his scholastic edu
cation suffers badly. Proof of
this" is that, since the war,
there hasn't been a college
man among the horde of fine
Anzac players.
No Longer A Sport
This, it is obvious, removes
the game from the realm of
sport. It becomes a business
with like baseball's "bonus
babies" the lure being a fat
professional contract if the
young tennis star developes
into "the" player of the year.
"I, have never seen a better
player at 17 than Butch Buch-
holz of St. Louis," Talbert
elaborated. "But he has to do
his development on his own.
He goes to school until June,
can compete only during the
summer, and then returns to
school in the fall.
"That's why I suggest spring
and fall training camps under
an expert such as Jack Kra
mer," Talbert added. "They
could even get together dur
ing the Christmas holidays
when, ordinarily, they would
be playing in one of the holi
day tournaments where, actu
ally, they aren't learning any
thing." Long a member of the top
10 and a Davis Cup star in his
own right, Talbert. reached
the heights the hard way.
Tennis Recommended
"I was a diabetic at 10," he
recalls. "For three years I sat
around doing nothing. Then
the doctor said I should try
tennis. I was delighted I was
hungry to get out and do
something and this gave me
an outlet as well as compan
ionship." But the current crop of
youngsters, he frets, are by
passing tennis in favor of
such sports as basketball,
baseball and football.
"They actually don't know
what they are doing," he says.
"Tennis is an 'after school
sport. Not many boys can ex
pect to continue playing bas
ketball, football or baseball
after their school days are
ended. But they can play ten
nis the rest of their lives."
Talbert bears no malice, al
though you can detect a hid
den hurt, at being replaced as
captain of the Davis Cup
team. Instead, he has thrown
himself whole-heartedly into
"selling" the sport to the kids.

Big Rush Expected

Look for a big rush on

Picking Up Deer
Fawns Violation
Of Oregon Law
Portland The time of year
has arrived when many per
son roving the ' fields- and
forests of Oregon will be
taken in by the pleading,
limDid-eved look of one of
mother nature's most beauti
ful residents ' baby deer
Other baby wildlife will also
be picked up and taken home
by the would-be benefactors
The first reaction is to pick
ud the poor little deserted
creature and thus be a cham
pion of wildlife. However,
that is the beginning of a sad
life for a wild animal and
often tragedy for the wild-life-napper.
All young wildlife are pro
vided with adequate camou
flage for protection. The spot
ted coat of fawns is a classic
example of the protection na
ture has provided. Female
deer often leave their young
while they forage. Fawns, de
pendent upon their camou
flage, will allow persons to
come near and even pet them.
Often the mother is fright
ened away from her fawn
by the interloper but will re
turn promptly when danger
is past. "
Only Observe
Only close observation
should be the extent of the
visitor's relation with fawns
or other wildlife young. Ore
gon laws state that it is il
legal for anyone to hold in
captivity any wild bird or
animal in the state without a
permit from the game com
mission. Permits are not is
sued for the keeping of fawns.
This ruling is to protect
both the fawns and the peo
ple involved. Not only does
captivity put the fawn in un
natural surroundings, but
often as the fawn grows' old
er it becomes vicious. Many
persons in the past have been
seriously injured by the
slashing hooves or sharp
ened antlers of their pets.
So, when little "bambi"
gives with the soft-eyed look,
or any other wildlife for that
matter, break out the camera,
then leave the youngsters
right where you found them.
Patricia Jones
Crash Driver
For Chitwpod
Many an evening the life of
three men depends in part on
the steady eye, strong muscles
and split second timing of
Patricia Jones, an attractive
strawberry blond in her
middle 20's.
She is one of the Joie Chit
wood Thrill show drivers per
forming next Wednesday
night atx the Valley View
Speedway located near Ash
land. When she and three men
do fast precision driving,
careening bumper to bumper
and side by side in quick
turns and weaves, the slightest
mistake by any one of them
could wreck the cars and kill
or seriously injure the driv
ers. Miss Jones also does smash
and crash driving in which
she deliberately rolls a speed
ing automobile -sideways or
end over end until it collapses
,in a heap with her inside.
"You never know wnat s
going to happen," she says.
"The roof of the car may cave
in .on you, the steering wheel
crumble in your hands, the
back seat break loose or the
whole car catch fire."

and Felix Mantilla in return.
Philadelphia manager Mayo
Smith says he needs a first
baseman, then adds he can
use a secoijd baseman even
more in light of the recent
injury suffered by Granny
Hamner.
Smith isn't the only Na
tional league manager holler
ing help, however.
Birdie Needs Hurlers
Birdie Tebbetts of the sixth
place Cincinnati Redlegs still
claims that he doesn't have
enough pitching. He isn't cry
ing wolf, either. Cincinnati
pitcher have gone the dis
tance only four times so far
this season and Bob Purkey
was responsible for three of
those four route-going jobs.
If Tebbetts thinks he's got
troubles, he ought .io check
with Walt Alston, whose Los
Angeles Dodgers are wander
ing around in the cellar.
As a team the, Dodgers are
last in hitting with an anemic
.238 'average. Remember
Rube Walker, the fellow who
was supposed to take over
Roy Campanella's regular
catching job? He's rapping
the ball al a tremendous .132
clip. John Roseboro is doing
better but the Dodgers still
want someone of the Stan
Lopata stripe behind the
plate.
And so it goes all around
the circuit The Cardinals are
looking around for more left-
handed pitching; the Cubs'
hitting, an early season fea
ture, suddenly has bogged
down, and the Pirates are aft
er a starting pitcher who
could fit in along with Bob
Friend, Ronnie Kline and
Vern Law.
Feel Urgent Need
Over in the American
league, the teams are even
more desperate to make a
deal than in the National. The
.Yankees' fast start, of course,
has a lot to do with the gen
eral atmosphere of urgency
on the part of the seven other
clubs.
. The White Sox, who fig
ured to be the Yankees' chief
competitors, have climbed a
bit in the past few weeks but
still aren't knocking down
any fences.
Vice President Chuck Co-
miskey says he'll trade one of
his frontline pitchers for "a
real solid hitter." .
Boston's pitching can best
be described in one word.
Sad. The "big three" of the
Red Sox pitching staff, Tom
Brewer, Frank Sullivan and
Willard Nixon, have won a
total of three games.
Wants Power Hitler
Paul Richards of Baltimore
would give his kingdom- for
one long -ball hitter. ' He
wouldn't have to be great.
Half-decent would do nicely.
To illustrate, Baltimore has
been shut out six times
more than any other club in
the majors. As a team, the
Orioles' hitting has been for
the birds. Their .237 average
also, is rock bottom for the
majors.
With Jim Hegan hitting
.205 and Red Wilson .143, De
troit is casting around for an
other catcher. Washington's
need is two-fold only pitch
ing and hitting.
The White Sox and Indians
are ready to talk trade with
the last-place Senators but
both of them Roy Sievers.
Nearly 600,000 Boy Scouts
have earned the Camping
merit badge a total of 50,000
last year.

Lead Taken
By Jacobs
Detroit (UPI) "I'm not
trying as hard now, I've elim
inated that 'Do-or-die' atti
tude," rookie Tommy Jacobs,
an "unknown" said Thursday
after he beat the cream of
the nation's golfers to take the
first day lead in the $25,000
Western Open.
Jacobs, 23, is'just winding
up his first year on the pro
tour. But he moved over the
sun-baked red run course like
an old pro as he fired an
eight-under-par 64 to take a
two-stroke lead over Arnold
Palmer of Latrobe, Pa.
The slim, 5-10 native of
Whittier, Calif., has been com
ing strong since he took a
three-week vacation and re
turned to the tour three weeks
ago. He shot 64s in the Mem
phis Pro-Am and last week at
Kansas City, tied the course
record there as he did Thurs
day.
More Than Double
Jacobs could more than
double his earnings by captur
ing the $5,000 first prize. He
ranks 44th among the money
winners while Palmer is tops.
Par was whipped by 41 of
the pros and two amateurs
but defending champion Doug
Ford, who won a four-way
playoff last year, was three
over par, shooting 37-38-75.
Sam Snead, who rallied,
strongly in 1957 after being
tied for 50th, was in striking
distance with a 34-36-70.
Snead eagled the first hole.
Bunched behind Jacobs and
Palmer were Frank Strana
han and Bob Rosburg at 67;
Bruce Crampton, Mike Sou
chak and Don Whitt at 68
and 10 players at 69. '
