THE NEWS-HERALD 1 6 Franklin and Oil City, Pa. Thursday, August 3, 1967 U. S. is Cinch To Improve On Polk Defeats Tally-Ho, 9-5 Browns Problems Produced By An Unrestful Summer One Touch Of Nature A Column For Outdoorsmen Polk defeated Tally-Ho, 9-5, in a Rec League game Wednes Pan-Am Mark Clay Denied Permission To Leave day at Polk. WINNIPEG, Canada (UPI) Tally-Ho opened the scoring with a single tally in the first inning but Polk took over in the The United States now seems a cinch to top its 1963 overall second frame when Keith Fel-tenberger drove in three runs performance in the Pan-Ameri can games, but no one in the with a homer, his fifth of the U.S.

camp was willing today to say this means the 1968 Olympic team will be stronger than the '64 Wade Bell, who won the men's 800-meter run Wednesday night in another near-sweep of NEW YORK (NEA) The five-man boycott of the Cleveland Browns had a racial motivation, pure and simple. It was a purposeful circumstance that John Wooten, Leroy Kelly, Mike Howell, John Brown and Sidney Williams the men who sought redress for personal grievances against the Browns' management banded together. They are all Negroes and active in the Negro Industrial and Economic Union. Wooten is the president. Jimmy Brown, the retired fullback, has been the organizing and directing force for NIEU, and it was perfectly logical that he'd issue a statement from Hollywood outlining the individual arguments of the men concerned.

"All the facts in his statement," said Art Model), the president of the Browns (and also of the National Football League), "are inaccurate." Leroy (Kelly). But I'll tell you its effect. "It's horrendous for all sports." Wooten, entering his ninth season of pro football, is already under contract to Cleveland. He's in the second year of a two-year pact. He used the five-man ploy as a wedge to reopen negotiations on his salary.

In giving the 30-year-old veteran a two-year contract initially, the Browns gambled as much as he did. Williams, a linebacker, wanted assurance he'd get a chance to start half the exhibition games. "That," fumed Modell, "is like Koufax having it written into his contract that he has to start every fourth day." No one enlisted Dale Lindsey, a young linebacker who deserves the opportunity to play as much as Williams. Over all the wrangling track and field events that season. Feltenberger and Jim Hag-gerty led Polk at the plate with perfect nights.

Bobby Boal pitched an outstanding two hitter. Snell and Tom Bell were the only Tally-Ho batsmen to get hits. The win was No. 9 in the second half for Polk, which is still tied in first place with CPT with one loss each. Umpire Russ Carter was struck on the head by a ball thrown from right field in the fourth inning but was able to complete the game.

helped boost the United States' total of gold medals in the games to 96, voiced the general caution about the Olympics, "You just can't tell anything this far ahead," said Bell, the a University ace who ranks as probably America's bets 800-meter man behind Jim fmm Ryun of Kansas. "Stars suddenly appear. They come along fast like Billy Mills did to win Art Model! the Olympic 10,000 meters. It probably will happen again." Some U.S. officials noted that "I refuse once again," said Polk Taylor, 3b Boal, Umstead, cf Snyder, Buck, ss Hagerty, rs Feltenberger, rf Stephens, lb Brown, If Aylesworth, 2b With that incisive comment, Modell demurred from being drawn into further debate with his ex-star and, I might add, ex-friend.

U.S. performances here are Modell, "to fall prey to Holly especially hard to figure in light wood ballyhoo." There remains of the Olympics for some rather a tinge of bitterness from unusual reasons. Brown retirement a year ago Ryun Not Competing For one thing, some of the this summer not so much the fact that Jimmy quit, because best U.S. Athletes like world AB 3 4 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 30 AB 3 1 3 3 1 2 3 3 3 3 1 1 that was his prerogative, but HOUSTON (UPI) Cassius Clay, forbidden to go to Japan to fight by a federal judge who accused him of being "ready to take part in anti-government, anti-war activities," vows to "just keep on preaching." U.S. Dist, Judge Joe Ingra-ham Wednesday turned down Clay's request for permission to leave the country.

The former heavyweight champ is under a five-year prison sentence for refusing to go into the Army. Clay said he would head for Chicago "to read my fan mail." "The defendant does appear to be ready to take part in anti-government, anti-war activities," Judge Ingraham said. "His presumption of innocence has been replaced by a presumption of guilt and that presumption remains until overturned by a higher court." Clay, known as Muhammid Ali, has under appeal the prison sentence and a $10,000 fine assessed for refusing to take the symbolic step forward at induction ceremonies, and thus avoiding the draft. Clay told the court his pledge to his country is to follow its laws as long as they do not interfere with his religion. He said he needed the money for alimony and court expenses.

Ingraham said it is customary to forbid persons under federal sentence to leave the continental United States. "In this case," Ingraham said, "the government has been especially generous in allowing him to travel throughout the continental United States." Judge Ingraham ordered Clay to surrender his passport to the court clerk, who will keep it until his appeal of the draft violation is settled.

nationals later this month how the rumors and then the actual announcement were nursed to exploit Brown's new career as an actor. In the five-man boycott. Art is caught in the prejudicial position of being both the players' boss and the league president. The action of the players in banding together has explosive implications beyond the desire of a bunch of guys to get a better deal for themselves. If they remain adamant, it's difficult to see how the league or the commissioner can stay out of the debate.

in hopes of winning overseas hangs the delicate insinuation that Negro players have to hang together to make sure they get adequate compensation for their talents. "Historically," scoffed Modell, "they have been the highest paid group of football players, tracing back to Jimmy Brown." In meeting the threat head-on, he laid down four points before he'd even entertain discussions: 1) Wooten's contract woudn't be discussed he was already legally under contract; 2) any discussion on Williams was to be fiscal coaches alone determine when and where he plays; 3) each player would be dealt with individually and report to camp the same way after a contract was agreed to they were already losing money at the rate of $100 a day for every day absent; 4) there would be no discussion at all about the demand that if one man was traded, all wanted to be traded. Was Modell being arbitrary in laying down the ground rules? "These aren't my rules," he said from the Brown's training camp in Hiram, Ohio. "There are 50 men here and a whole league elsewhere who adhere to them." But in this unrestful summer 9:30: J. J.

Berry III, J. Rial, T. L. Savage, Rev. James By STEVE SZALEWICZ July Diary JULY 1 We are one of many in this area planning to spend part of the Fourth weekend camping.

One of the items we need is a cot. But getting a cot in Oil City is next to impossible. Located one finally. The merchant explained that it "seems everyone is going camping this year." Confirmation of the same could be found in part by the volume of traffic using Rt. 62 north out of Oil City.

This highway carried a very heavy flow of travel trailers and campers. JULY 4 ISLAND PARK, Hunter Station Talked with campers who have spent days elsewhere in both public and private camping areas and learned there is now a great shortage of firewood. Some suppliers are charging a dollar a bushel. What an opportunity this is for a young man to earn enough money during a camping season to pay for a term of college. This wood should be stacked along a highway with plenty of parking.

It might even work on a serve-yourself basis. Firewood is necessary not so much for the cooking but for keeping the pesty little black bugs away and for lighting up the eyes of young children around a campfire. JULY 8 TIDIOUTE The luckiest kid in this area is Jimmy 14 years old, who is working with Dr. Gus Konitzky of Clarion State College and students excavating an Indian site here. This is Jimmy's second summer with the diggers.

He'll be an expert on local Indians while still a young man. JULY 9 ISLAND PARK Sure has been a rough time for campers, what with all that rain. But every morning at Island Park after an all-night deluge they waded into soggy and slippery surroundings and tackled breakfast preparations in a cold drizzle. Those who are spending the days in auto-campers do not have much of a problem with rain unless it develops as they try to leave their campgrounds and get mirred in soft ground. The rains for us have been an opportunity to check the worthiness of the 9 12 Coleman tent we bought last spring.

It didn't leak a drop in a two-day period when three inches of rain fell. Wonderful what tent manufacturers have done to lighten the weight of the tent and still assures an amazing degree of protection from rain. The warning to tenters not to pitch tents near rotten trees and trees with dead limbs should be heeded. One limb crashed in the storm less than 20 yards from us and grazed the Cliff Barker Titus ville) trailer. Had this limb hit a tent it would have smashed it to the ground and hurt any occupants in it.

JULY 10 TIONESTA There are some fishermen in this borough who are ready to hand Joe Kopena, temporary fish warden for Forest and Clarion counties, a bouquet for his efforts to curb litterbugging in the popular fishing holes here. Congratulations to Joe for his interest in keeping the outdoors clean. JULY 12 PLEASANTVILLE Visited with Carlyle Sheldon, once supervisor of the northwest Pennsylvania office of the Fish Commission in Tionesta and came away sorry again that Sheldon retired. He is a very good friend of fishermen. His knowledge of local waters and the fish in them is tremendous.

As a supervisor he wasn't above carrying buckets of fish down slippery creek banks or rowing a tubby skiff to nets on a choppy lake. He never shirked work. It's our feeling that fishing in northwest Pennsylvania is now going to suffer as we don't feel any replacement in going to supply either the interest or the heavy work or long hours needed to keep our waters producing bass, mnskies and walleyes. JULY 15-TIONESTA Yes there is a public boat launching access here and in several spots along the Allegheny River in Venango, Forest and Warren counties. But how long has it been since the Fish Commission has done any upkeep on some sites.

Getting a boat into deep water at some of these spots, notably Tionesta, can be a man-killing operation. JULY 20 TIONESTA Some clubs are offering fishermen a chance to catch trout in ponds or a running stream for $2 and $3 a pound. If you think that is expensive the minnow fishermen along the Allegheny are paying just as much or more for bait. Bait minnows now cost the dealers $2 a pound. Local minnows are hard to get in the river and creeks in certain spots because of the heavy weed growth.

JULY 23 MILLER FARM The first big meeting about securing land for the Oil Creek Gorge Park (proposed with project 70 funds) between Petroleum Center and Drake Well Park at Titusville will be held in Cherrytree -August 10. Maybe we're finally on our way. Speaking of ways, every now and then someone proposes that a highway be cut through the valley from Petroleum Center to Titusville. Can you imagine what a modern highway would do to this haven? Think of all the hillsides which would be turned into bleeding cliffs, all the riffles and deep holes that would be eliminated by the bridge builders, and all the extra mud that would flow down the narrow valley as a result of the earth moving. No, no, a thousand times no.

The last thing this seven-mile valley needs is a throughway. Keep it natural and wild. Weber. winner who didnt better a record as he whipped Canada's Bill Crothers in the 800 meters in 1:49.2. And Bell says he's pointing himself for a trip to Dusseldorf.
