When I can wait on the pitch, I do a lot better. "But I'm not going to go for homers. I have my nice level and easy swing back and I'm going to continue to go up to the plate just trying to get a hit. The homers will take care of themselves." Lou Boudreau, former American League batting champion and manager now a Chicago baseball announcer, summed up Banks' return to form seven homers, 29 RBI and a .281 average. "The ball is jumping off his bat again," Boudreau said. "It didn't do it last year." Elsewhere in the NL, Cincinnati outslugged St. Louis 11-6, Pittsburgh whipped Houston 6-1 after losing 6-3 and Los Angeles trounced New York 6-1, then played a 1-1 tie when rain washed out the game after five Hot Slot Machine Gives Tony Ideas RYE, N. Y. (UPI) - This was the night the Masters ended and Tony Lema, disconsolate at his showing, went with friends to a private club. "I just didn't feel right for some reason," said the tall ex-Marine in a low voice. "I didn't have any charge in me and I felt like an imposter when I walked on the tee." It brewed a storm inside his manager, Freddie Corcoran, the man who "made" the PGA circuit a big - time money wheel and who all his life has gone for the fighting breed. Acidly, Corcoran waved Lema into a little back room where there were quarter and dollar slot machines. "Look, Tony," he told -the easy - going Lema, "you got the wrong slant on things. I want to tell you right now that the only thing you lack to become a great golfer is the power of positive thinking." Corcoran is an Irishman who There was $8,000 riding on every shot, because second place was worth "only" $12,000. And big Mike Souchak, playing with Lema, was running at tall Tony. Mike eagled the 12th and then on the 14th hole Souchak canned a birdie as Tony took a double bogey and now big Mike was a shot in front with only four holes to go- They parred the next two holes and, with two left, Tony walloped home two birdies to catch and pass Souchak and take the $20,000 top money. "I told myself on the 16th tee," he said to Corcoran lat er, "positive thinking." So that night with the slot machine paid off. But Corcoran should have re membered that night himself, He almost collapsed when Lema lost the lead and sweat ed bullets throughout that final nine holes. When it was all over, he was in worse shape than Lema. JESUS ALOU GETS 2-DAY SUSPENSION Jesus Alou, who played five years in the minors without ever being chased by an umpire, today was fined $50 and suspended for two days as a result of his run-in with umpire Bill Jackowski yesterday in Philadelphia. Alou was trapped off third when Orlando Cepeda missed a hit and run sign, it was in the 10th inning and Jesus represented the winning run. Re came up sputtering and brushing dust off himself. "But he didn't throw me out for what I said," the youngster from the Dominican Republic said. "I was speaking Spanish. What made him (Jackowski) mad was that I brushed dust all over him." Willie McCovey was felled by Phillie shortstop Bob Wine's wild throw during infield prac tice. The ball hit him on the forehead and he was taken to the hospital for x-rays. They were negative and he returned to Connie Mack stadium to get into the ball game as a pinch hitter. Continued from 1st Sports Page final round of 71, one-under par for the short Westchester course and a 72-hole total of 276. Souchak, who started off as if he was going to have to skip a couple of holes to break 100, - finished' with - 69 for 277 and $12,000 for second place. Ken Venturi, who had to telephone and ask for an invitation to play in the Thunderbird, and portly Billy Casper finished at 279. Chi Chi Rodriguez and Phil Rodgers were 280. Big Jack Nicklaus couldn't get going and wound up with a 72 for 282, while Arnold Palmer, the Thunderbird winner last year, was well back at 285. The Lema-Souchak duel had all the drama. Champagne Tony, who says he is 30, going on 40, from stand ing over those money putts, had a three-stroke lead on the first tee. Souchak promptly took a double bogey, and Lema's lead was five. Lema birdied the third, and Souchak made a bogey and now it was seven. On the short sixth hole, Souchak hit his tee shot over the green into a budding jungle, and it looked as if the tourna ment was over. But Big Mike, the 37-year-old ex-Duke football player, chipped into the cup for a birdie. Lema hit a trap on the eighth, and on the ninth he had to crawl under a spreading fir tree and scoop the ball out on his hands and knees. Now the lead was three strokes. Lema got a birdie at 12, and Souchak made an eagle. Two strokes. On the par three 14th, Souchak put his tee shot within four feet and Lema struck his in the crowd. "It was a terrible shot," Lema said. "And the chip was bad, and then I three-putted." Now Souchak was ahead by one stroke, and Lema showed that he is made of stern stuff. Champagne Tony flipped his second shot to within two feet on the 17th, got his birdie and tied it up. On the 18th, a par five, Lema hit his third eight feet away and Souchak was 25 feet from the pin. Mike missed, and Tony rapped it home, after he stepped away once. "I told myself, keep your stupid head still," Lema said. "I almost did. I looked up just in time to see the ball fall in." tony Lema, $20,000 .r.T. 68-67-70-71 27 -Mike Souchak, $12,000 ... 69-66-71-69 277 Bill Casper, $6,225 71wl7-73-6 279 Ken Ventur .
