o o o o TUESDAY, JUNE 7. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNK MEDFORD. ORB. o Bolt Edges Hogan In Playoff Round of Memphis Golf Open By GRANVILLE ALLISON JR. United Press International Memphis, Tenn. (UPD Tom my Bolt, prepping for next week's National Open by win ning the Memphis Open golf tournament in a playoff round, paid tribute to Ben Hogan, whom he edged by a single stroke. "That Hogan is tough com ing down the stretch," said Bolt, who pocketed $4,300 to 82,500 each for Hogan and Gene Littler. The 41-year-old Bolt, of Crystal River, Fla., whose last tournament victory was in the 1958 open, gained the win though playing with the knowledge that his wife, Mary Lou, was hospitalized after surgery here Sunday. Hot Iron Play He used smoking-hot long iron play to post a two-under-par 68 and fend off Hogan's closing rush. Hogan missed a five-foot putt for a birdie on the 18th and finished with a 69. Littler, steady from tee to green but putting erratically, wound up with a 71. Bolt turned the front nine in 33, holding a three-stroke bulge over Littler and four over Hogan. But Hogan , from Fort Worth, Tex., gained strokes on the 10th with a birdie, the 13th with an eagle and the 14th, which Bolt bogied. He evened the match with a birdie on 16 after chipping out of the rough to within two feet of the hole. Boltapplied the clincher on the par 3 17th. Choking up his two-iron, he slammed the ball four feet past the flag and rammed down the birdie putt. Hogan could only get his par. Littler, 29, from Sing ing Hills, Calif., took himself out of it with a par. There's An Easier Way to CREDIT PLAN Why do it the hard wav' !1 on the Commercial Credi n whenever you can use jxtra cash.

Promoter Leo Leavitt charges that Elliott agreed to turn professional under his management. Elliott Monday told Circuit Court Judge John Dyer that he met with Leavitt three times In Australia in the fall of 1958. He said Leavitt of fered him $250,000 to appear in meets and exhibitions at Leavitt's direction. Under the agreement, Leav itt was to have received all income from media rights and the track meets, according to Elliott. But Elliott said he consid ered the offer during a hunt ing trip and decided to remain an amateur. He said he was unable to reach Leavitt on his return from the hunting trip and announced his decision in Australian newspapers. Leavitt then filed the suit here May 14, 1959.

(Spike) Briggs, se riously ill from a cerebral hemorrhage, were to be ana lyzed by physicians today. The tests were made Sun day night about 24 hours after the 48-year-old former owner of the Detroit Tigers was t r i c k e n at Williamslown, Mass. Physicians did not disclose the exact nature of the exami nations but it was indicated the tests might enable a more accurate prediction on Briggs' chances of survival. Officials at Henry Putnam Hospital said early today that Briggs' condition "remains about the same." He was re ported somewhat improved Monday and given a 50-50 chance of recovering. Doctors earlier had offered only slight hope that he would live. Olson Upsets S.A. Champion Johannesburg, South Africa -IUPD-The fistic comeback of Carl (Bobo) Olson took on more serious aspect today as a result of his victory over Mike Holt, the South African light heavyweight champion.

Olson entered the ring a 2 to 1 underdog. He weighed 176 4 pounds com pared to Holt's 175. The 32-year-old Olson, who held the world middleweight title back in 1953-55 and lost a bout with Archie Moore for the light heavy crown in 1955, showed a lot of his old ring craftsmanship in beating Holt.

The bag, suspended from ceiling to floor by chains, won the first round Monday when it bounced back after a vic ious Robinson lab and flopped the former champ on his trunks. Ray didn't appear at all flustered. He picked himself up and immediately launched a bit of rope jumping magic that had 50 training camp onlookers dazzled. He looked trim and fit. Robinson earlier had at tended a press conference and refused to make any knock out predictions. "I'll just be trying to win," he said.

LAWN MOWER SHARPENING ALL MOWERS COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED, ADJUSTED, SHARPENED, GREASED, OILED AND DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!

I can come up with more players than they ever heard of," snorted the bushy-browed father of the farm system. We'll have no trouble in that department." Rickey's principal idea is a ation-wide advertising cam paign for one mammoth try out camp where players ignor ed by major league scouts could demonstrate their tal ents. Long recognized as one of baseball's most brilliant minds, Rickey in an attempt to pressure organized baseball into accepting the Continental, lso revealed that he would go after American Legion and gli school players currently protected by baseball rules, All of this well could be a bit of window dressing to flat ten opposition to the Kcfauver sports bill which the Senate will consider this week. Amended, and held in com- ittee a week for study, it provides what Rickey des cribes as "now reasonable" provisions for an annual play er draft. So you might suspect that Rickey, when he claims there are "plenty" of unsigned ball players around, was providing bit of verbal camouflage This he denies and, it might be said, has a case in point to prove his contention. 'when we opened the west ern Carolina league as a train ing grounds," he insisted, more than 200 players re ported - and 130 of them were signed. And they were In the main only from a 100-mile radius. Were they any good?" he asked the question himself, 'Well, there was, as one ex ample, a six-loot, one-incn 170-pound outfielder who was only 20 years old. He showed me a great arm, coum run with anybody and uncensor- able form at bat witn great power. He hit one ball four miles." Rickey puffed on his cigar Dy and continued: "I talked to him afterwards and asked him where he had come from and where he had heard of the camp. He was from Michigan, saw one para graph in a newspaper about the camp, and told me he thoueht he could win a job. So he hitch-hiked all the way down South for his chance." Could Play For Anyong- This bov. insisted tne man who was one of the greatest talent scouts baseball ever had, could play for "any team In the major leagues." There were tnree otner sure-fire major leaguers right there at the start of the camp, he insisted. "And 10 others that I know could go to town. I'll tell you, I'd like to take $200,000 and buy some of those players I saw." And. Rickey pointed out, this was the result of "one paragraph." "Can you imagine what would happen If we took full II49 Pick-Up and Delivery S01 lair J.ckteii SP J-Mil FRII PARKING 0m Monday t Friday 'Til f p.m. OSCAR FRALEK United Press International page advertisements and real ly concentrated on sending out the word about a general try- out camp?" he asked. "Well, 11 tell you. We d be swamped with players. I'll wager there'd be more than 500 show up." The 78 year - old former Cardinal, Dodger and Pirate executive claimed that he has 'done everything in my pow- to arrive at an amicable settlement with the major eagues so that the Continental league can "come under the canopy of organized baseball." The proposed league charges that the 16 major league own ers have conspired to block their entry into organized baseball and the Kefauver bill is their final effort for an amicable settlement. Rickey is hopeful that the Senate will pass the bill and push the cur rent major leagues into ac cepting his group. The delay has been terribly hurtful to us," he intoned. "If it isn't passed, we will be forced to go independent." At which point, the Conti nental stops firing blanks. EX-PITCHER JORDAN DIES Fryeburg, Maine (UPD Fu neral services will be held Wednesday for former major league spit-ball pitcher Ray mond W. Jordan, who died in Meridcn, Conn., Monday at the age of 70.

The Phils swept the twin bill with the Pirates. Mauch didn't quibble about the finings. "I didn't fine them," he said. "They fined themselves. They knew the rule."
