UPI Telephoto Sport Parade: Athletes Wearing Glasses Becoming Common Practice n.v OSCAR FRAI.EV ITI Sports Writer NEW YORK H'PII Time was when a major league ball player ttho wore cycfilasses was as rare as a set of dry tonsils at a brew er's convention but not any more. The old much and tumble crowd of Hie hairy -chest and "chaw" had as much rcfiard for the bespectacled player as it did for umpires. The umps were the only ones supposed lo wear them. Nobody will ever know how many potentially great players were lost in the process. Kids with specs stuck them in their pocket to keep from Rcttin" picked last or ignored completely when it came time to choose up sides. Thus they wound up play ing an nut-of-focus game to sat isfy prejudice. Those Pays Gone But those days are Rone for ever, according to August Nelson of the Better Vision Institute, and the facts bear him out. Ac ceptance of players w ho wear glasses has been gradual through the years. Part of this is due to the fact that a better educated generation has taken over. But so intense, too. is scouting for younc players with talent that they'll sicn a guy who needs plate glass windows if he can find the plate or hit the ball. Rvne Duren actually found his faulty vision an asset when he was the big relief man for the; New York Yankees. Duren wasl one of the plate glass breed and he had to look hard to see the hatter. Thus, when he cut loose his fast one in their general di rection, nobody was taking a toe hold against him just in ease the pilch was errant. "Specs" Toporcer earned his nickname because he wore glasses in becoming a second haseman for the Cardinals. Eye. glasses kept him on the scene for years despite deteriorating vision before he finally lost his sight. Couldn't See Ball Phil Linz, the infield handyman of the Yankees, first was fitted for glasses during his rookie year at Kearney. Neb. "Bandy Gumpcrt. the manager, was hitting ground balls at me and I wasn't seeing them very well." he explained. "Then in night games I had trouble seeing pitches." An eye man found a slight vision defect. Once fitted with glasses. Linz was on his way up! to the big club. Back in IlltiO, Frank Howard ol the Dodgers was hitting over .400 when he was ordered by the front office to take an eye examina tion. The reason was that he was staggering around in the outfield under fly halls. His difficulty was myopia. He could see objects close by but not at a distance. Another outfielder with the same problem was I.eon Wagner of the lx)s Angeles Angels. He had the same defensive trouble while maintaining a lusty batting average. Didn't Think Twice A pitcher such as Ken Mac Kenzie of the Mets wouldn't think twice about having a sore arm treated. And lie didn't think twice, cither, when he found he needed glasses 15 years ago. "I wore glasses playing hockey: as well as baseball at Yale," he says. "People ask me if I'm not afraid of being hit by a batted hall. The answer is that classes! give me normal vision and help me avoid such accidents. j$ TEE TALK Women golfers of lieames Golf and Country Club will play second round matches of t h e Spring Handicap Friday.

Scramble And Gamble, Rigney Orders Angels LOS ANGELES lUPD - If there was any doubts in their minds, the Los Angeles Angels to day concluded that Manager Bill Rigney was right when he said the club's chance of success was to scramble for runs andj victor ies. Rigney. who rarely cails club house meetings, assembled his Angels Wednesday night prior to their game with the Detroit Tigers! and pointed out the team owed its success to hustle. 'I told them thai it was only through scrambling that they were able to finish third last year and if they would hustle and scramble they would win their share this year," Rigney said. The Angels apparently took the words of wisdom to heart because they went out and defeated the Detroit Tigers, 4-2, coming up with three key runs in the sixth inning to clinch the victory. Scramble and Gamble Our forte last year was to scramble and gamble, not lo play routine baseball, Kigney told his players. After listening to the manager. the Angels kept pounding away at rookie Detroit pitcher Bill Paul until they finally drove him from the mound in the sixth. It still took a big blow to push over the runs necessary to pro vide the win and that came from the bat of Charley Dees, the first baseman brought up only last Sun day from Hawaii. Dees doubled with the bases loaded to drive in three runs in the sixth. The double was his second hit and second two-bagger since he joined the Angels and it gave the club its margin of victory. But before Decs sent the ball past Rocky Colavito in left field, Albie Pearson homered to tie the core, 1-1, in the fifth. The homer was Pearson's third of the season and he walked in the sixtb to load the bases before Dees came through with the clincher. Chance Wins The pitching victory went to Dean Chance who had been rele gated to the bullpen May 12 after a slow start. Chance tired by the eighth inning but dependable Ju lio Navarro took over lu preserve the 'win for him and the lanky Ohio hurler squared his record at 4-4 with the win. "I thought Chance threw the hall real well." Kigney said. "And that Dees adds a little something to the club both in hitting and dar ing base running." Faul. first year Detroit hurler, was the victim of the Angels' "scramble" attack. The young ster kept Los Angeles scoreless for four innings until Pearson's homer. But he weakened in the sixth when he loaded the bases on a pair of singles and a walk and then gave up the double tdJ Decs tli.it put the game away. The Angels and Tigers closed their scries today with an after noon game which matched ex Yankee Bob Turley, 1-3. against Hank Aguirre, 3-4. HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday.
