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.
In a tie for fourth with first
round 69s were Doug Ford, Ma
hopac, N.Y.; Bill Casper, Apple
Valley, Calif.; and Art Wall Jr.,
Pocono Manor, fa. Tied with 70s
were Bob Goalby, Darien, Conn.;
George Bayer, Dallas, Tex.: John
Barnum, Grand Rapids, Mich.;
and Howie Johnson, Glenwoodie,
111.
Among those in a 10-way tie at
71 were Freddie Haas Jr., New
Orleans, and Lionel Hebcrt, of
Lafayette, La.
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. . . .
UO, Texas To Meet
EUGENE, Ore. Ofl - The Uni
versity of Oregon will meet Texas
University in a football game at
Austin, Tex., Sept. 22, 1962, it was
announced Saturday.
Sportsmen File
Fishing Protest
PULLMAN, Wash. UP) A group.
of Eastern Washington sportsmen
called on Gov. Rosellini Sunday
to negotiate with Oregon in an ef
fort to have the steelhead trout
in the Columbia River declared a
game fish and make the sale of
steelhead caught in the river il
legal. The sportsmen made their ap
Deal in a resolution adopted at a
meeting of the Eight-County
Sportsmen's Assn.
Oregon, unlike other states vis
ited bv the big ocean-going trout,
considers the steelhead a food fish
and allows it to be caught com
mercially, subject to regulations,
In other recommendations for
the 1958 hunting season, the group
asked an additional two weeks of
pheasant shooting more than the
five weeks allowed in Washington
state last year. They also asked
that the season be divided into
two parts, Oct. lov. 2 and Nov
17-Dec. 7.
Braves
Led By
New Boys
By UNITED PRESS
That new talent the Milwaukee
Braves have been shouting about
all winter seems capable today of
making the world champions
tougher than ever.
The Braves chalked up their
first victory of the Grapefruil
League season when they beat the
Detroit Tigers, 4-3, Sunday and
old pro Warren Spahn was the
only veteran who made a signifi
cant contribution. Instead, the
headlines went to John De Merit,
Earl llersh and Bob Rush.
De Merit, a (60,000 bonus out
fielder who had only 29 official
at-bats last season, delivered a
two-run seventh-inning triple that
turned out to be the game-winning
blow. Hersh, rookie first baseman
up from Wichita, cracked a 375-
foot homer and Rush, acquired in
the big winter trade with the Chi
cago Cubs, turned in, three score
less innings in bis debut.
Lew Burdette Sunday rejected
the Braes sixth salary offer aft
er a long conference with Gener
al Manager John Quinn.
TWO IN A ROW
The St. Louis Cardinals, mean
while, made it two in a row over
the New York Yankees, 2-1, be
hind the seven-hit pitching of
Frank Barnes, Tom Flanigan and
Billy Muffett. Catcher Hobie Lan-
dnth s ninth-inning single knocked
in the winning run for the Cardi
nals, who limited the Yankees to
one run and 10 hits in their two
game weeked series.
The Yankees, however, gained
some consolidation when' Deron
Johnson, the summa cum laude
of Casey Stengel's speedup school
this spring, mashed a pair of 400
foot doubles. Johnson played left
field where he is a long-shot
candidate to open the American
League season for the Yankees
San Francisco still boasted an
unbeaten major league baseball
history after the Giants whipped
the Cleveland Indians, 5-1, for the
second straight day. A double by
Ray Jablonski and a homer by
Daryl Spencer were the big blows
for the Giants who had the In
dians shut out until Gene Wood-
ling homered off 40-year old Man-
Grissom in the ninth. -
Don Hoak's two sacrifice flies
and double sparked the Cincinnati
Redlegs to a 5-4 victory over the
Chicago White Sox despite two
rdh homers by Jim Rivera and
Earl Battey. George Crowe also
homered for the Redlegs.
CUBS WIN
Chuck Tanner walloped a grand
slam homer off rookie Charley
Beamon to lift the Chicago Cubs
to a 5-4 decision over the Balti
more Orioles. Dick Drott, rookie
strikeout sensation in 1957, yield
ed two runs in his three-inning
assignment for the Cubs while
Taylor Phillips, left-hander ob
tained from the Braves this win
ter, threw blanks for his three
frames.
The Los Angeles Dodgers en
tered the victory column 24
hours after San Francisco showed
'em how it s done with an 11
inning, 5-4 decision over the Phil
adelphia Phillies. Felipe Monte-
mayor, ex-Pittsburgh flop, singled
home the winning run giving him
five hits in eight tries this spring
Don Newcombe started for the
Dodgers and yielded one run and
three hits in three innings. John
ny Podres hurled three scoreless
frames.
Boston vs. Pittsburgh at Ft.
Myers. Fta.. and Washington
Kansas City at West Palm Beach

letics reported that it was the
