THURSDAY, AUGUST It. 1960 OPEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY NITES 'TIL 9 P.M. siPdDinnrs WmiMTIWIEim TTUME SPORTS PARADE JACK CUDDY Sport Writer United Press New York-UPD-The reeling San Francisco Giants and a real nice guy named Al Ka line shaped up today as the baseball patsies of the year. The Giants deserve it. Ka line doesn't. That's because the Giants sold their fans down, the bay by tossing in the sponge while Kaline has tried everything and nothing seems to work They have a lot of company In the patsy league: Mickey Mantle, Herb Score, Johnny Antonelli, Gil Hodges and Billy O'Dell. Meaning that they were expected to be win-ners-or fair facsimiles of same-and weren't. "No question," says Kaline. "This is the worst slump of my career. I've studied movies and everything. Ugh.!' That's what Detroit fans are saying, too. Kaline was the American league batting champion in 1955 and was sec ond last season with a .327 mark. So you can understand his impassioned frustration when you look at an average which limps along around .230. Case Against Mantle You can make a case against Mantle, too, if simply on potential. This muscular young man hit .353 and .365 over a two-year span and in one of those seasons knocked a total of 52 home runs. Last year he tailed down to .285 and it was to be assumed that he would bounce right back. But he hasn't, being 10 points or so under last year's effort- and that last seems to be the wrong word. For a fellow who is getting in the exclusive neighbor hood of $72,000 to bash a base ball it is a nickle and dime payoff. Score, too, might have been expected to make a comeback of sorts this season. Hailed as one of the potential greats after a 20-game season in 1956, he was terribly injured by a line drive off Gil McDou gald's bat. He showed promis ing signs of returning with a 9-11 campaign last year but his 3-7 mark this time out is far from impressive. , Antonelli Slips Antonelli, a two-lime 20 game winner, copped 19 vic tories last season and was one Darnell Only U.S. Golfer In CAG Test Ottawa-(UPD -Twelve Cana dians three Mexicans and a lone American hope teed off today in the third round of a Canadian amateur golf championship shaping up as one of the most closely-contested in years. The 16 shotmakers from three nations were the sole survivors of the 57th ama teur's two opening rounds Wednesday which saw a flock of "name" players sidelined in a day that threw form to the wind. By late, today only four of them will be left for the gruelling two days of 36 holes each that will produce the 1960 champion sometime Saturday. Leading the way into to day s two rounds was defend ing champion Johnny Johns ton of Vancouver who. coasted to two easy victories over Canadian opponents Wednes- I mi ic 1 J 1 I day. ine ou-yeai-um itcii estate salesman met Bill Mayo of Ottawa the surprise of the tournament, in the morning's third round. The United States hope for its first amateur victory since 1954 rested with Mark Dar nell, a 20-year-old pre-med-student from Lafayette, Ind. The Purdue university swing er, who won two of Wednes day's closest matches to stay in the running, tangled with America's and Willingdon Cupper Keith Alexander of Calgary in one of the morn ing's feature contests. Toronto had a third repre sentative in the morning round in Gordon MacKenzie, a 24-year-old insurance con sultant who scored the upset of the tourney Wednesday by eliminating veteran American star and qualifying medalist Bill Hyndman III of Hunt- one of the three Mexican sur- ingdon Valley, Pa. He faced vivors, 17-year-old long-ball hitter Hector Alvaraz. of the reasons for the surge of Giant enthusiasm as they went into this season's flag chase. His 4-7 mark witnout any excuse has had a killing effect. So, too, has the failure of Billy O'Dell. The "Digger" was touted as a possible big winner for the Giants and his 7-8 mark leaves more than rmioti tr. hp Hpsirprl. He has. Iinwpvpr. marin a "comeback" of sorts, winning his last two starts. Mnrh of their troubles might possibly be attributed to the paternal attitude of the Giant front office. Hnmne Stoneham and his Rover Boys have run the club like just what it ls-a ncn man s toy. In On Pass It was obvious risht from the start of the season mat Rill Riencv was in on a pass as the team's manager. As is usually the case, wnen tnings wpnt from fair to bad his head innned off. Then they went to worse as benign Tom Sheehan was installed as me nam ltinnaper. Sheehan is a nice, friendly, fatherly gent. He was a pal of Stoneham's.

Proposed Dam Effect Draws IWL Concern Concern over the proposed construction of a 400 foot I high dam seven miles from thp month of the Illinois river was expressed at the Monday meeting of the Jackson coun ty chapter of the Izaac Walton lpapnp. I According to Robert A. Huff, chapter president, the chanter decided to alert other chapters within the state and to gather more information. An article appearing in the Coquille Valley Sentinel quot ed Bruce Shavre, general manager of the Coos-Curry Electric cooperative, as saying that fish handling facilities are planned. 1 But Huff said that no eco- j nomical way has been found to put fish over that high a dam. Thp T.paeue is very con cerned with the effects of dam on the fish life in the j Illinois rivpr. Huff said, and stressed the fact that it was not opposed to the construc tion of the dam.
