St. Louis his home Ken Venturi Faces Threats NEW ORLEANS W Sizzling Ken Venturi faced threats from two unexpected contenders today as he entered the second round of the $20,000 Greater New Or leans Open Tournament tied with two golfers seeking their first ti tles of the winter tour. Venturi, 26, of San Francisco, who has won three times this win ter, knocked four strokes off par with his 34-3468 over the soggy City Park course yesterday. But he could do no better than tie Billy Maxwell, Odessa, Tex., and Gene Littler, Singing Hills, Calif. Play had been delayed three days by rains. The fairways were " dotted with puddles, but the pros found the greens in good shape. After today's 18 holes, the field . will be cut to the low 60 for the final two rounds, both scheduled tomorrow.

Delany Takes KC Back Seat NEW YORK 'UP) A couple of guys named Smith and Jones stole the thunder from Ron De lany in what may have been the Irishman's last appearance here in an indoor track meet. The Smith was Rudy Smith, a Bates College sophomore who sur prised everyone by winning the 600-yard run Saturday night in the New York K of C meet. The Jones was Hayes Jones, a 19-year-old sophomore from Eastern Michigan College who repeated his national AAU triumph over Elias Gilbert in the 60-yard high hurdles. While Smith and Jones were setting 1958 records for a board track, Delany loafed home to win the Columbian Mile for the third straight year in four minutes, 8-4 seconds. It was his 22rd straight indoor mile victory and his 27th 'i triumph in a row indoors at all distances. wasn't much of a player in the St. Louis farm system, he'll tell you himself ... but Bing was a top-flight basketball ace at Wash ington U. who later starred in AAU ranks. . . . Rogers Hornsby, stubbornly proud of the sharp eyesight that made him the greatest righthand hitter of all time (arguments, any one?), needs glasses to read . . . but no one will know it since he's been fitted for contact lenses. . . . When the bidding for schoolboy Don Nicholson went over 100 G's, Kenny Williams, the first great slugger tf the livrly ball era, (hit 39 homers for the Browns and ran the bases in 13.2) revealed he made more money running a bar in Grant's Pass, Oregon, the last 13 years than in his 13 seasons in the majors . . . that the only time he's used his silver lifetime pass was to flash it on a cop and get off the hook on a reckless driving ran. . . . Brightest reports we ve read are Ted Schroeder's personalized brief ings on' the Kramer troupe, air mailed from Australia . . . with such incidata as the encounter with a New Zealand hunter round ing up baby elephants for eaddy ing duty at a Chicago golf course. . . . The light touch: Vice President Nixon telling the New York writ ers on the subiect of baseball ex pansion: "I can think of a lot of towns that ought to have major league franchises . . . that have voters in them." . . . or . . . "New York without a National League team is like Jayne Mans field without a sweater." . . . then, after the roar of laughter, "I guess you can take that either way." ... Between you'n'me, just once we want to hear a guy getting a plaque get up and admit he doesn't owe it all to his teammates, his wife, or providence . . . that he did it all himself. . . .
