WEDNESDAY. .Tl'LY 16 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGOV PAGE 3 B Today's Sport Parade Tempest Tom Faces PGA's Jury Tonight By OSCAR FRALEY HAVERTOWN. Pa. (LTD The case of Tommy Bolt rocs, to a 12 man jury tonisht and there is a growing feeling among his fellow golf professionals that the block buster of the links will get a light sentence. Bolt is the U.S. Open champion who was fined ( $500 two weeks ago for "conduct detrimental to the game." At the time he was revealed to have been on proba tion since January and ordered to appear before the Professional Golf Association's executive com' mittee for furtier action. That action didn't come off Duke Snider Rockets Ball In Bums Loss LOS ANGELES, (UP1) The Los Angeles Dodgers go back to work tonight against the Pitts burgh Pirates in search of an other win streak that might get them out of the National League cellar. For that chore, they sent rookie Fred hipp, 4-3, to the mound against the Pirates' Bob Friend. Kipp had started the four-game winning streak that Pittsburgh brought to an end Tuesday night with a 6-2 victory. Friend, possessor of a 10-10 rec ord, lost his last six games as the Pirates mustered only seven runs for him. But they did better Tuesday night, belaboring Don Drysdale for five runs and getting another off reliefer Clem Labine LONGEST HOME RUN The loss was especially dis heartening to the Dodgers after Duke Snider hit the longest hom er in the brief history of major league baseball in Los Angeles. Snider tagged one of Ronnie Kline's fast balls approximately 440 feet to center field. The ball hit the top of the outfield fence and fell over. That tied the score 2-2 in the sixth but then the Pirates pushed over four runs in the eighth to end the Dodgers' win streak. Spider's homer almost eclipsed the performance of rookie Pirate first baseman Dick Stuart, known to Coast League fans for his long ball hitting. Stuart drove in one run with a single, slammed homer into the left-center field stands and then was hit by Drys dale to start off the four-run eighth inning. ONE OF HIS BEST "If that ball I hit to center field hadn't been a homer, then nothing ever would be," Snider said after the game, "t hit a couple of homers, one in St. Louis and one in Pittsburgh, that might have been longer. But this one was plenty long." The Dodgers were on the threshold of getting out of the cellar, trailing idle Cincinnati by a half game. A win would have put them two percentage points ahead of the Redlegs and into a sixth-place tie with the Pirates. Tuesday night's crowd of 20,827 booed lustily when Gil Hodges was sent in to pinch hit for Snider because the Pirates had inserted left-handed Don Gross as a relief pitcher. But Snider de fended Manager Walt Alston's strategy, even though Hodges struck out, declaring a right-hand hitler had a better chance ITuesday as Bolt simply failed to appear. In a phone call from Odessa. Tex., he said he would be on hand today. The 12-man executive committee said he'd better be. So at 6 p.m. they'll go behind closed doors to hear his side of the story. And. while he could be suspend ed indefinitely from tournament play, there IS a side to his story. OTHERS HAD BAD MOMENTS Bolt unquestionably has had his mad moments. He has hurled his ouota of clubs. He has cussed out a few people here and there oil the course. He was guilty of neg ligent play at times and he did pick up in three recent events He hasn t actea line a cnam- pion should," is the vague charge against him. There is a great tendency some quarters to get a big fellow down and kick him. Bolt has his faults. But rival pros point out that there have been other club throwers Bobby Jones. Walter Hagen and Cary Middlecoif, just to name a respected lew a n a they feel that Tommy's off-course actions are of absolutely no con cern to the PGA. He did not "snub the execu tive committee, as some charged when he failed to appear Tues day. PGA President Harold Sar gent admitted Bolt had not per sonally been given a definite date to appear but merely had been "expected" to arrive Tuesday, BOUGHT IN POLLS Even some pros who challenged his actions on general principles held that he was paying his own way, that his negligent play hurt nobody but his own chances of making some money. They hint ed that his picking up drew offi cial wrath because of the ire of important people who had bought Bot in Calcutta pools, in tnis case, they recalled the time Clay ton Hefner hit a ball behind a tree in a tournament and when he told his caddy to pick up the ball woman stormed: 'You can't pick that up. I bought you in the Calcutta." Heafner looked at her stonily lor a long moment and then told his caddy: "Okay, son, let it lay mere. Then he turned and walked to the clubhouse. There have been stormier char acters than Bolt, worse club throwers and more sulphurous cussers. One thing more they can say: There never has been any one more honest. So. when he gets done pleading his case this evening, the pros are belting that he 11 be let off with a reprimand. He's too colorful to lose, and golf needs all the color it can get these days. tromm PiPEtiW ty O.AYTON HAMOtf (Continued from Page 1 B) Lakers Take Swim Meet Grabbing off 34 firsts out of a possible 45. the swimming team from Lakeview downed the Klam ath Falls team in a dual meet held at the municipal pool Satur day afternoon. the dual test served as a warm up for both squads for the big eight team Invitational Meet to be held here.

An derson gave up seven scattered hits in posting his second victory against two losses. The Marlins, although 12'i games behind league-leading Montreal, now own a game advantage over Columbus for the lourth and tinai piayoti spot. In other games Tuesday night, Montreal continued its winning ways with a 5-3 decision over Rochester: John Crimian yielded only three hits to enable Toronto to detcat Buffalo, 1-0, and remain within six games of first place; and Havana handed Columbus its sixth straight defeat, 6-2. and Dorm Martin and outfielders Donn Taucher and Floyd Under man all deserve the placement given them by the league mana gers. . . .

Giants1 oney Pays Off SAN FRANCISCO (AP Mike McCormick cost the Giants an $.,000 bonus two years ago but his teammates and opponents agree he was worth every penny of it. The swift-pitching 19-year-old lefty is the National League's leading percentage pitcher with a record. He got his seventh last night, a 1-0 masterpiece for San Francisco over the Philadelphia Phillies and Robin Roberts. He had good stuff, that ras cal," said Roberts, a 10-year ma jor leaguer who had a two-hitter going until he was lifted in the eighth for a pinch hitter. McCor mick allowed nine blows. The kid learned so fast, com mented Frank Shellenback; head of the Giants' minor league pitch ing personnel. "He's 100 per cent improved over his spring training performance." Shellenback said he was most pleased about the way Mike got himself out of trouble. He had two men on in the sixth but got Ed Bouchee to pop kout to end the inning. In the eighth, he loaded the bases on two sin gles and a walk. Rip Repulski. ihe Phils cleanup man, was up and Manager Bill Rigney walked to Ihe mound. He stayed with his youngster and Repulski fhed out In the ninth, with one out, Willie Jones and Eddie Kazanski singled. Carl Sawatski ended the game by grounding into a double play. "Mike was blazing the ball, whistling it," Rigney said, "and his control was perfect. He only Walked one man. 1 was really happy to see him get Repulski. He's a guy who really hits lefthanders." The Giants got their run, enough to keep them in second place half a game behind Milwaukee, on two walks, a double and a costly error by third baseman Willie Jones in the seventh. McCormick. from San Gabriel, Calif., said he was throwing fast balls for the most part and was nervous only once when those bases were loaded. He had noth ing but sympathy for Roberts. "That error," Mike said, "it was tough luck.' By United Presi International National League Player & flub G. AB R. It. Pet. Musial, St. L. 75 2ti8 40 97 Ml Mays, S.
