B Page 1 Sam Snead, Jim Demaret Eye 1st Open TULSA, Okla. (API-There are two great golfers in the 162-man field starting the 58th U.S. Open Golf Championship tomorrow who never have put their names in the record books by winning the big one. They are Sam Snead and Jimmy Demaret unquestionably two of the best in this golfing genera-tion. This failure doesn't mean t Ihing to Demaret, he says, and Snead is the man he picks to il lustrate this point. Snead has won 100 tourna ments and they're all though, Jimmy said after shooting nine practice holes under a sweltering prairie sun. They talk about his having a mental block about the Open. It doesn't mean a thing Thev re all tough. I ve never won the Texas Open either, arid I've played in it often- cr than the National. I won the Masters three times but that only means I was hot for one week three times." Snead and Demaret rate as two of the players to beat when the 72-hole grind starts tomorrow over the lengthy 6,907-yard tiouthern Hills course. Demaret shrugs off the fact he set an Open record of 278 at Riv iera in 1948 only to have Ben Ho- gan come in with a 276, which still stands as an all-time record. Last year Jimmy shot 283 at In verness, then Dick Mayer and Cary Middlecoff came in one stroke ahead. Mayer won the ti tle playoff. I d still take that score and let any of the Open champs of the last few years shoot at it," Jimmy said. Softball Meeting Slated Tonight All coaches, sponsors and in terested parties who expect to en ter teams in the recreation depart ment's summer football program must attend a meeting at 7:30 to night at city hall, according to Jack Kemmtzer, city recreation official in charge of the program. Final arrangements as to sched uling of games, league starting dates, etc., will be concluded at tonight's session, Kemmtzer stated. v There Is still a definite need for coaches and managers to handle "ithe teams which evolved from the five-day Softball clinic just con cluded on Conger Field. Persons who would like to help are spe cially invited to the meeting. Oriole, Sox Leaders High On Trading List NEW YORK (AP) Manager Paul Richards of Baltimore and General Manager John Holland of the Chicago Cubs have been the top traders this season. There were 18 major trades dur ing the past eight months and Richards and Holland were in volved in seven. Richards' first transaction re sulted in Baltimore acquiring pitcher Jack Harshman, first baseman Jim Marshall, outfielder Larry Doby and pitcher Russ He- mans from the Chicago White box for Ray Moore, Billy Goodman and Tito Francona. Doby was la- Hubs To Meet S-Valley Sunday The six members of the North ern California League have their hopes set on sunshine this week end and the completion of another round of games. Only one of three scheduled games last Sunday was completed, the others were rainea out. Klamath Falls' Kubs dropped a 3-0 decision to Mount Shasta in the only game played last Sunday. It was the Kubs first defeat of the year and cut their league lead to a slim half game over second place Mount Shasta. This Sunday, manager I r v Whin's Kubs tangle with Scott Val ley at Scott Valley. Other Sunday games send Weed to Yreka and Dunsmuir to Mount Shasta. All games are scheduled for 2 o'clock Pacific Daylight Time. ter swapped to Cleveland for Gene Woodling. In another deal, Richards ob tained Arnold Portocarrero from Kansas City for Bud Daley. Harshman has won five games, losing the same number. Mar shall, playing regularly, is hitting .228 but supplying the long ball for the Orioles. Hcmans was op tioned to the minors. Woodling is hitting .270 to Doby's .238 and playing regularly while Doby riding the bench. Portocarrero has a 4-3 record, including two shutout victories, while Daley, un able to win for Kansas City, has been sent to the minors. Moore has been able to win only two games for the White sox, Goodman is hitting .265 and Fran cona .272. Neither of the last two have been playing regularly. The critics laughed when Hoi land sent Bob Rush, Don Kaiser and hddie Haas to the Milwaukee Braves for Taylor Phillips -and Sammy Taylor. The latest figures show Phillips with a 4-0 record and Tayor batting .295. Rush has a 4-2 record hut both Kaiser and Haas are in the minors. The Cubs also traded Bob Speake to the San Francisco Giants for Bobby Thomson. Thom son, one of Chicago's leading run producers (29). is hitting .284 to Speake's .194 in only 21 games. Chicago s Alvin Dark deal lor pitcher Jim Brosnan appears about even, with Dark hitting .282 for the Cubs and Brosnan gaining three decisions without a loss at St. Louis. The Cubs also got a standoff in the trade that sent Turk Lown to Cincinnati for Her shell Dreeman. Neither has won. TIME OUT "Not my own family TOO!' Decision Due Thursday On Tim Tarn's Leg CHICAGO (UPD-Traiher Jim my Jones has indicated a deci sion might be made at the earli est Thursday on whether to oper ate on Calumet Farm's three-year-old star, Tim Tarn. Tim Tarn, winner of both the Kentucky Derby and the Preak ness this year, was injured last Saturday while running in the Belmont Stakes, seeking the third jewel of the vaunted "triple crown. A successful operation on Tim Tarn would give him a 50-50 chance of racing again, Jones said Tuesday. But Jones said an operation would not be performed only to "enhance Tim Tarn's chances of racing again. We just want him to be com fortable and well, he said. Jones was unable to explain how Tim Tarn sustained the in jury. "I still can't figure out how he managed it," Jones said. "He was running the greater part of the race with a broken sesamoid an almost impossible thing to be lieve, but he did it." Tough Guy1 Takes Over Detroit Club BOSTON (UPI) Bill Norman, a "tough guy," today began map ping plans to accomplish what "nice guy" Jack Tighe failed to do make the Detroit Tigers a winning team. Norman, who once managed the old St. Louis Browns for four or five" days, took over as Detroit manager Tuesday when Tighe was fired. Tiger General Manager John McHale, who made the decision to fire Tighe and promote Nor man from the Charleston farm club in the American Association, spelled it out: Norman is the Kind of manag er we need. He has the iron fist and velvet glove that is needed. He Is a hard rock. I don't know what makes nice guy or a tough, guy, tne tall, rugged Norman said. Tm just me." Tm no Einstein, he said. don't think anyone is reprimand ed unless he deserves it. I will not hesitate to reprimand." Tighe tried reprimanding. But it was too late. The Tigers stumbled badly in spring training. The American League team slumped badly as the season progressed. Tighe was fired 12 hours after the squad leu into the cellar in a defeat here by the Boston Red Sox. Tighe's last official act as manager was a two-minute "dutch uncle" lec ture to the team on maintaining training. You need a tough guy in the majors, McHale said. Minoso Sparks Cleveland By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS You can tick off a number of reasons to explain why the Chi cago White Sox, who finished sec ond last season, are barelv free of the American League cellar at the moment. But the No. 1 answer is the guy. playing left field for Cleveland. Without Minnie Minoso, who led Chicago with-103 runs batted in last season, the White Sox have left 399 runners stranded (an av erage of eight a game) while scor- ing only 187. Sherm Lollar is the top RBI man with 28. A year ago, when they led the San Francisco Milwaukee Cincinnati Chicago Louis Pittsburgh Philadelphia Los Angeles ism i I t f Balsiger-'0', Gun Store Win The Gun Store staved off a last- inning challenge by the Moose to win 4-1 in the fast moving opener of the Babe Ruth League twin-bill at Gem Stadium Tuesday night. In the nightcap Balsiger defeated Tulelake 13-10 in a contest that saw both teams use substitutions freely. Moose pitcher, Phelps, allowed only four Gun Store hits but is sued five bases on balls which combined wilh one error to give Gun Store the win. Mike Robotcek, who went the full distance for the Gun Store, gave up three hits and collected the longest hit of the day as he poled out a triple in the top of the fifth inning. Both hurlers struck out five men. In the Tulelake-Balsiger clash, an eight-run fourth frame gave Balsigers the big edge, luielake called on the services of four hurl ers to put out the fire. In the bot tom half of the fifth the Tule nine made up three runs of a five run deficit but fell short as Balsiger pitcher, Gunton, finally got them out. Linescores: Guards. Hal's Nab Triumphs Frank Detz, National Guard hurler who has been setting down Men's Softball League opposition at every turn, fashioned a two-hitter Tuesday night as the Guards whipped the Market Basket 3-1 in the first game of a league twin-bill played at Conger Field. In the second game, Hal blasted Big Y, 10-1. Detz gave up a pair of singles to opposing pitcher Mitch Hanan. Leading the Guards in hitting was Roy Harris who banged out two for three including a fourth-inning double that highlighted a two-run uprising. Jerry Cox collected two hits in leading Hal's triumph over the Big Y. Larry Bunyard chipped in with two hits in the losing cause for Big Y.

(UPI). The pro boxing debut of Olympic wrestling champion Dan Hodge, which resulted in a first-round knockout victory Tuesday night, was clouded today by a- boxing commission decision to investi gate his opponent. Hodge, who won the Olympic light-heavyweight wrestling crown in 1956 and then became the Golden Gloves heavyweight box ing champion, knocked out Norm Jackson of Youngstown, Ohio, at 1:12 of the first round of their scheduled eight-round feature bout.

(AP) Ohio Stale's Glenn Davis and Texan Eddie Southern duel in the NCAA quartermile Saturday and don't be surprised if a new record or two results. The world 440 standard of 45.8 second was set in 1956 by Jim Lea, formerly of Seattle. The NCAA rerord 46.2 was set by Herb Mckenley of Illinois in 1946. Davis, 1956 Olympic champ in the 400 meter hurdles, already has tied that 45.8. And he did it around two turns. Lea set the mark around one. The NCAA 440 at Ed munds Field is also around two turns. , Southern has two 440s around one turn this year just one-tenth of a second off Lea's mark. He ran second to Davis in the Olym nic hurdles. Every event in mis nig snow will be strongly contested, espec ially the mile where defending champion Ron Delaney of Villa nova meets California's Don Bow- den. Both are sub four minute men. Indiana's Greg Bell is also ex pected one of these days to wipe out the oldest world record on the books Jesse Owens's 26-8 ' broad jump made in 1935. Bell won the event last year with a 26-7 leap. BLAKE GRIGGS . . . KF logion starter the District 8-A-l championship earlier this spring. Besides the Bend clash this eve ning, Hatfields team will draw three more games this week, and all will be played at home. Fri day night, Klamath hosts the Chil- oauin Cubs in a single game. Sun day afternoon it will be Medford and Klamath in a doubleheader starting at 1 o'clock. The first game of the twin-bill will count towards league standings, but the five-Inning nightcap will be a non-counting affair. Klamath Driver Cops Alturas Win ALTURAS The red-hot combina tion of car No. 7 and driver George Smith, both of Klamath Falls, picked up four wins Sunday at the new Alturas hardtop track in the second race' card of the season.
