Earl Buchholz This Year May Renew Bid Toward Top Place in Los Angeles - Three years ago the talk of the tennis world was a promising young man from St. Louis by the name of Earl (Butch) Buch holz.. This precocious youngster, who was then 20, had achiev ed some remarkable victories over players who were sup posed to have beaten him rather handily, and had sev eral unfortunate breaks that cost him dearly in matches against Neale Fraser and Rod Laver, the number one and two players in the world. He was forced to default to Fra ser in Wimbledon because of a sprained ankle, after having five match points. Fraser, of course, went on to win the tournament. Then in the United States Nationals he was plagued by leg cramps and eventually lost a bitter match, after having had three match points, to Laver. He was ranked fifth in the amateur tennis world in 1960, and things indeed looked bright for this young ster who could make the dif ficult shots like rolling off a log and the impossible ones without too much more effort. Earl B u c h h o 1 1 will bt among six professionals who will appear at Hadrick Junior high gym htre on Monday evening. May 20. The six are en tour in tha world series of professional iennii. Tha arias is presented by the In ternational Professional Ten nis Players association and is being brought to Medford by Jose Corona, tennis pro of Rogue Valley Country club. , In everyone's future book he was looked upon as a can't miss prospect and was inter nationally thought to be the most promising youngster in the world. He had lust reach- ' ed the pleasant place in ama teur tennis where he was im portant to tournament com- ' mittees, because they needed .his appearance if they were to have a real successful event.. Wait until next year was the challenge hurled out by his supporters, he will rule the amateur game, v . But next year never came for Earl and the amateur game. Instead, the classy youngster who had been toil ing at his trade since the age of five; who entered his first . tournament at seven: who had to fight for every break that he ever got . . . and he didn t get many; who won a roomful of trophies; who never had two nickels to rub together and still didn't succumb to the lucrative professional of fer that was tendered, his way by Jack Kramer. All of his life Butch had been insecure, and the healthy contract that was offered rep resented at least a partial victory over that toughest of all opposition. To young Buch. holz's way of thinking, this was a giant step in the right direction but this was not the main reason why he deserted the amateur ranks lust when things showed promise of get ting better. The prime reason was that Earl Buchholz felt, and still does, that he has the ability to become the world's best player . . . amateur or pro- fessional. He had not been satisfied with his progress and felt that he would improve more rapidly under the stiffer competition of the pro ranks where the best in the game were showing their wares for you in every match. So he took the plunge and found himself thrown in with three seasoned pros - Pancho Gonzales, Lew Hoad and Alex Olmedo - plus two other rook ies like himself, Andres Gi meno and Barry MacKay. They played a round robin similar to the present tour. In these contests it is impera tive that you get off to a fast start or it is all over. Tense and overly anxious to prove himself, Earl pressed too hard from the outset and didn't play as well as he might have. Being conscientious, hard fighting, and a tough loser, he became discouraged with ' his inability to do as well as he thought he should. He soon found himself at the bottom of the standings, in a sad 1 BRILL METAL WORKS CemmercLI Indu.triel RtiMtntial $ Metil Work Stiinlm, Gileniiee1 ni Capper Fakriutie 2287 West Main HON! 77J-4440 Net World frame of mind, and his game shaky and uncertain. In this game where no quarter is giv en and none is asked, things got bad for Earl early and stayed that way through the entire series. He finished last . . . and, worst of all, dis heartened. By the end of his first year as a pro he was wealthier but very unhappy over his per formance. The few weakness es that he had, sueh as tem perament, an erratic second serve, a tendency to overplay certain shots, and a little too much offense with not enough defense, had been exploited by the veterans to the hilt. Fortunately for Earl, there was no tour in 1962, so he was able to spend some time reflecting on his problems and to go about correcting them. He has done this and it has started to pay the kind of dividends that he has been looking for. He is now much less inclined to give a match away because of temper, his serve is getting better, and he is a much smarter match player. In other words, he is getting some mileage from his game. His 1962 record, while not up to the standards that he had set for himself, was pretty good. . He ' won the tourna ments at Cleveland and Salis bury and did very well in all but two of trie. II in wnicn he competed. He finished the year in fifth place in total points earned in tournament competition. All of which adds up to the fact that 1963 could well be the year that young Earl Buchholz renews his climb towards his goal of being the best player in the world.

CHECK YOUR Frick Sets Meeting On Balks New York - (UPO - Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick will inform league presidents Warren Giles and Joe Cronin today that he feels the balk rule should be called the same way in both the Nation al and American leagues. This docs not necessarily mean Frick is in favor of eas ing the rule. On the contrary, ht has already said, "1 am in favor of enforcing the rules." So far this season National league umpires have called B6 balks while American league umpires have called only eight. "I feel there should be a uniform interpretation of the balk rule by both leagues," Frick said. When we are ilnished with our meeting today, I expect that the same instructions will be sent to all umpires in both leagues," he added. "We all have to operate by the same rule." Frick does not have the power to change the rule, nor does Giles or Cronin. The only way a change could be made is by baseballs official rules committee, which is not scheduled to meet until this winter. Frick's chief concern now is that a uniform rule be ap plied when the two leagues meet in the annual All-Star Game on July 9 at Cleveland and when they meet again in the World Series this October. Otherwise, enforcement of the balk rule is strictly up to American and National league umpires, who are under the jurisdiction of Cronin and Giles. Giles instructed his urn pires last week to return of the one-second stop require ment' for pitchers with men on base but balk calls in the National league still have not decreased appreciably.

Sport Parade Las Vegas, Nev. -4UPD- Tony Lema, a 29-year-old ex-Marine who looks like Ted Williams nd swings like Sammin' Sammy Sncad, has turned golf s big three into the big four. The 6-foot, 2-inch slugger clinched his right to a place among the current giants of the fairway In the Tourna ment of Champions at Desert Inn Country Club as he tied Arnold Palmer for second place. And he did it the hard way. He played Palmer head and head in the final round and when it was over he had beat en Palmer on the day, with a six under par 66 against Palmer's 68. Lema thus moved into second place, behind winner Jack Nicklaus, on the list of the year's money winners with total earnings of $32,496. And, while a tie for second may not be too memorable, it meant that the congenial Lema had whacked out a sat isfying $56,957 to stand right with the "big three. ' Bridegroom" Sunday Tony was a "bridegroom" for the fifth time this year. Previous to this he was second in the Masters, at San Diego and at New Orleans. The other time he was a bridegroom was last Saturday when he mar ried pretty Betty Cline, an airline stewardess. Thus, starting his sixth year on the pro tour, "Cham pagne Tony definitely had arrived. They tall him that because, before the last round at Orange County when he was shooting for his first of ficial tour victory last year. he promised newspapermen If I win this, we drink cham pagne. He won it by beating Bob Rosburg on the third extra hole in a playoff - and bought the champagne. But Lema, despite that Champagne Tony" tag, is quiet, serious young man who speaks fervently and with cari-ful thought. 'I didn t think I'd ever win my official tournament," he admitted. "Id let my bad shots upset me and blow wide open. Everybody told me I could play winning golf and I knew I had quite a bit of God-given talent. So I took in ventory and decided to always forget the last shot and simply play the next one. It's done the trick."

Lema was paired In the final round with veteran Ted Kroll. But, when Billy CasDer had to withdraw on the ninth - hole, Palmer, playing alone caught up to them on the 12th noie. "It was a tremendous helo being able to play him face to face instead of wondering how he was doing," Lema as serted. "He had me by two shots at that time but f thought I could catch him." He did. And it made a bin impression on Fred Corcoran, the man who "made" the PGA tour big business, handled such as Sncad and Williams, and now conducts Lema's business affairs.
