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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

SCRANTON, Pa. (UPI). The

Jackson of Youngstown, Ohio, at

440 Standard
Faces Threat
In Spike Duel
BERKELEY, Calif. (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.
