Small Cup Proposed San Francisco -IUP1I-George Schneltcr, former PGA tour nament director and one-time touring pro, said today that the game of golf is too easy and that the way to make It tougher is to reduce the size of the cups on the greens. "I know this proposal will bring howls of protest," said Schnelter, now a semi-retired Montana moneybags. "But I hear all this talk about mak ing golf cups bigger to speed up the play. I think that's going In the wrong direction. I believe the day will come when the size of the cups will be cut from the present stand ard of four and one-half inches to a maximum of three Inches." From Maine to Florida and Minnesota to California there will be bitter denunciations of the proposal-but It does have merit. Schnelter explains It this way: Only Answer "The compression on golf balls has been standardized and the pros and amateurs alike still hit the ball out of sight. The greens are ns smooth as glass. This makes the courses too easy for most of tlte better players. "Now, you can't extend the sU of the courses. In fact, many are pressed for space as it is. So reducing the size t the cup is the logical solution.

Fla.-Pro tennis czar Jack Kramer is riding for a fall, outspoken Fred Perry asserted today, and the amateur tennis fnthers eventu ally could wind up in com mand of the professionals for the good of the game. Kramer's strength, accord ing to the great British star is his weakness.

With points awarded on a 10-9-8-7-B-5-4-3-2-1 basis for votes from first to 10th places, Bradley beat out the Bonnies, 291 points to 276.

"But I believe the amateur officials have reached a point of anger at his tactics that now they are prepared to go, all out to beat him." Kramer hurt himself irre vocably, the handsome Perry argues, by signing the top am ateur stars of such struggling nations as Italy, France and Spain-as well as those of the United States, Australia, and Britain. "There was a time they all were ready to go along on open tennis," he points out. "But I think Jack made a mis take by demanding too much. Now they are angry and in no mood to cooperate." The pros mistakenly have come to believe that they, in stead of amateur tennis, are the backbone of the sport, ar gues the three-time U.

"When I turned professional in November of 1936, we nat urally let big Bill Tilden han dle all the details. He never did ask anybody for a guar antee." Thus, came the day when Perry asked Tilden why he didn't require a guarantee. "We are the best," Tilden stated majestically. "If we don't draw them, if we can't draw them, then we don't de serve to get paid." Perry, who for seven years was a British Davis Cup star, pro toured with Tilden, Ells worth Vines and the late Vin nie Richards, among others. "This is a grand game," he mused. "It's bigger than any individual, me or Kramer or anybody else. Whether you are a pro or an amateur, it's still the same game. And, by and large, the amateur fathers have done a fine job."

THESE ARE NOT FIRST QUALITY WERY PAIR NATIONALLY ADVERTISED NOW AT THE Maris, Drysdale Sign for $33,000 By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Money isn't everything, but name something else that could make Roger Maris and Don Drysdale smile like that! You'd smile, too, if you did as well financially as they did Monday. Maris, the 26 year-old right fielder for the New York Yankees, received a raise of more than 50 per cent that figured out to about $13,000 and brought his salary up to the neighborhood of $33,000. Drysdale settled in the same neighborhood, and the $33,000 contract he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers represented an $8,000 boost that makes him the highest paid pitcher in the club's his tory. Maris RBI Leader Maris, the American league's most valuable player last season, earned his raise by leading the league with 112 runs batted in while hitting 39 homers and batting .283. He had turned down the Yankees' first offer but said Eagle Point Trips Crater Central Point Eagle Point jayvees topped Crater High school sophomores 57 to 49 in a single overtime game Mon day at Central Point.
