The Red's elongated pitching ace injured his right shoulder and left the ball game in the sixth inning. An X-ray examination today will determine the extent of the in Jury.

Big Boy Taken From Rogue - Am (wmm v F "V V : L f 1 ' v t '4 Bobby Locke Sore His Game Improving NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., May 8 VP) Bobby Locke, who is the great estif not the only golfer ever to come out of South Africa, is hitting each shot even a little crisper than usual in the Goodall Round Robin tournament here. Bobby is sore. He has been banned from playing in the Profes sional Golfers' association cham pionship this summer at St. Louis. Here in the Goodall, he has 14 of this country's top professionals to work on, and what more natural than a burning desire to demon strate that he is papa. He feels he has been given a fast shuffle by George Schnelter, the PGA tournament chairman. He didn't hesitate to express his feelings after he had shot his sec ond straight 69 over the par 72 course In yesterday's second round of the Goodall event. This gave him a "plus" score of 23. only one behind the leader. Herman Barron, of White Plains, N. Y. The Goodall is played on a match- play basis. In each of five rounds. each contestant plays hole-by-hole against the three other super-stars in his foursome. "Schneiter has barred me from the PGA championship." he said, "because he says I have been over here so long I no longer am a vis itor. The fact remains that I am on a visitor's visa, which I can get extended. "I'm tired of this hanky-panky. I couldn't play in the PGA now if they invited me. because I've booked exhibitions during that time. But. in my opinion, Schneiter simply is not capable of conducting a busi ness as big as the PGA." Two more rounds of the Ooodall were scheduled today, with the fifth and final 18-hole test tomorrow. Locke, with three rounds to go. was a match-play point behind Barron and only three ahead of Bob Hamil ton of Landover. Md.. at plus 20. yet the entire feeling in the clubhouse was that Locke had the thing in hand. This big salmon, writhing 27 pounds, was hooked In the Itniue this week by Jin. .Mike O'Donnrll. but her husband had to lake the pole to haul him In. They were fishing off a plrr at Wraaku Inn.

Ore., May 7 P Howie Odell, Washington football coach, Is "scared to death" of Ore gon's football prowess. At least he said so In a speech at the Oregon club's gridiron ban quet here last night after watching the Oregon team in an intra-squad scrimmage. Odell said he was much im pressed with the Oregon passing, which he estimated must be the best in the conference.

Odell said his Washington team also would stress the aerial game, buf he said he was warning against undue optimism in Seattle. He recalled his excellent prospects at Yale last year were ruined when injuries removed two key men. Coach Jim Aiken of Oregon as serted he would continue to aim for the Rose bowl and said he wanted his team aiming there.

A repeat performance In the next round clinched the decision. Venerable, but still game, Pete Belcastro failed in his scm-wlndup quest to quell the winning amies of I Frankie Stojack and gave up a final ! round fall to drop the match to a ;draw decision. The Weed Assassin took the first I fall in the fourth canto by pure 1 slugging, but the speedy Tacouia tad elided the slug-Iest in the Iiiiitl round with a drop-kick and body press.

He drove Stojack momen tarily groggy on several occasions, but wasn't quite able to keep apace ol the Tacuma speedster. Al Szasz staged a roaring come back In tile opener, taking two suc cessive falls and the match from Buck Weaver.
