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.

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.'

Flaherty said he would not be
