I Marco on the Gulf would cost a half billion dollars or more before its championship golf course, its waterways, apartment buildings, inn and villas, roads and shopping centers would be a class development so when the Mackles got to it, they began the search for a golf professional to represent Marco on the national tour and to head the pro shop staff. "We had admired Tony Lema from afar, seeing him on TV and reading about him," said a distraught Frank Mackle yesterday. "We had a conference with him and found his moral code was something we approved of and believed in and we 4 were for him. "See. to me he personified the best in a professional athlete. He had a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at fellow and sober route to Crete, 111., where Tony had planned to play in the one-day Lincolnshire Open Monday. The plane was to have landed at Chicago Hammond Airport near Lansing. Mrs. Mullen's husband, Dr. Wylie Mullen, who was waiting at the airport, said the plane made a swing around the field, with no indication of trouble, but one or both engines cut out as it glided low over the nearby course, then restarted briefly. Bud Dorton, a witness, said that as the engines died it was apparent the pilot would attempt a landing on the course, but swerved to avoid a group of people standing in the plane's path. The plane tore up turf and bounced into the edge of the lagoon and burst into flames. Lansing firemen extinguished the flames. The bodies of the Lemas were being sent to San Leandro, Calif., their home town. AS PLANS were made for funeral services, the Lincoln shire Open was played and officials announced the tournament was dedicated to Lema. "It's unbelievable Tony won't be with us anymore," said Tommy Jacobs, chairman of the PGA Players Committee. "He was a man's man, a player's player." "Tony was one of the real great guys of the tour," said Jack Nicklaus. Lema's nickname sprang from his open-handed generosity, as well as his sparkling with. At the 1962 Orange County Open in California, Tony saw newsmen having a few beers in the press room. "Fellows," he said. "If I win this tournament, it will be champagne for everyone." He won the next day and champagne flowed. From then on, Tony supplied the bubbly stuff after each tourney victory, which became more and more frequent. LEMA'S MANAGER, Fred Corcoran, said that the couple chartered the plane from Mainline Aviation Inc., of Joliet, 111., after another plane had failed to turn up after the Akron tournamnet.

IT WAS THE 16TH victory for the right-hander, who scored the winning run himself. Marichal, who has lost four, retired the first 15 Pirates he faced before Jim Pagliaroni opened the sixth with a double to left. Pagliaroni's double led to the Pirates' run, but the Giants had scored twice in the third off starter and loser Woody Fryman, 8-5, who left after five innings for a pinch-hitter. OLLIE BROWN STARTED the Giants' third with a single and all runners were safe when Fryman tried to force Brown at second on Marichal's sacrifice bunt.
