1966 3 Cadle Marches to Amateur Title Despite Praise, Pranksters, Pryor Wimbledon King Santana Realizes His Dream By DAVE KINDRED Caurler-journal Stall Wrltar It was 9:30 a.m. on the day when Kentucky camera at George Cadle became the amateur golf champion. An elderly man pointed a V-fc a- him, "Don move, son," the man said, Click. "Thank you, son, and keep at this same and I'll net that hefore long we'll be seeing you on television with the pros." George Cadle, an 18-year-old hoy from Middlesboro in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky, might have said, "Aw. shucks." But he MI As he walked up the 11th fairway, Cadle learned two things one frightening, one funny.

Schultz let the cat out of bag. "I told George that he was only one shot ahead and he didn't say anything. He just sort of looked at me like go away. Then I told him I soaped his windows." A par at No. II gave Cadle an extra stroke, hut he lost it with a riouhle hocey on No.

13 before regaining it at No. 17 when he hil "my best shot of the round." His wedge shot stopped 12 fret from the hole. "When I made that putt I fell pretty good," he said later. Pryor, playing in the twosome hehind Cadle, was unable to get any more birdies had my Ishare and wound up with a two-under-par 33-3770 for a 292 total. Cadle, who had a 39-3776 for 290, was praised for his awesome strength that produced drives consistently over 280 yards.

One Audubon member said Cadle hit a 337-yard drive on the 18th hole "where nobody's ever been before." The 6-foot, 210-pound teen ager found out about that tournament in Alabama. He begins play In the Junior Masters at Dothan, Tuesday. Cadle would just grin if you said the name of the tournament fits him well. George Cadle i- if doesn't talk that much. So he just grinned; a shy grin not see the false big enough to let you teeth he wears after leaving the originals on a football field.

Then, after the man had left, Cadle wondered about some things, like who soaped the windows of his car and how PC WIMBLKDON, Kngland (UPI) Manuel Santana, who as a barefoot hallhoy in Madrid used In dream of some day winning the Wimbledon tennis champion-ship, saw his wish come true yesterday. Shortly after conquering Dennis Ralston of Rakersficld, fi-4, 11-9, 6 4 for the title, Santana the first Spaniard ever to win the prized crown kissed the hands of three princesses and announced he'd be hark next year to kiss (hem all again. "Twelve years ajn when I was a hall-Iny I dreamed of winning this title." said Santana, "and today I got my chance. "It's been a long road to gel here, but when Princess Margaret congratulated me in Spanish, I knew the hard work was worth it." The 1 hour, 50minute match was decided in the serond set when Santana shrugged off a back injury and a controversial call apparently unnerved Ralston. Ralston, the United States' top-ranked player, jumped off to a 4 1 lead in the set but Santana, 28, came back strong and caught the 23 year-old Californian, Santana wrenched his back running for a lob in the eighth game, hut he refused to slow down.

With the set deadlocked at fl-9 and Ralston serving, the Californian fired an overhead to the sideline that he thought was good. Rut a linesman ruled the ball nut. and that appeared to shake Ralston even though he managed to keep his temper under control. Ralston then double -faulted twice, giving SantamT'fhe service break he needed. The Spaniard served the set-winning game at love, winding it up with an ace.

Gaining the doubles final were the Australian teams of Ken Fletcher-John Newcombe and Bill Bowrcy-Owen Davidson. Fletcher and Newcombe advanced by beating Americans Marty Riessen and Clark Graebncr 6-3, 7-5. 61.

II rv Stall Phota FINISHES 2ND Jim Pryor of Mayfield, who started the day eight strokes behind, shot a final round of 70 to wind up just two shots behind winner George Cadle yesterday in the Men's State Amiteur Golf Championship at Audubon Country Club.

"Somebody wrote with soap all over my car," he said. "They put on it 68-72-74P1." The first three numbers were Cadle's rounds in the Men Slate Amateur Coif Tournament at Audubon Country Club that gave him a seven-stroke lead. Now a 91? "Let's get this over with," he sain.

As he had done all week, Cadle ignored the practice area and headed for the tee. The first ball he hit every day was his drive on No. 1. His second shot skidded to a stop four feet from the hole, but he missed the birdie putt and when he three-putted No. 2, Paul Schultz.

another teen-ager in the tournament, said: "George told me this morning that his attitude is different now. He said he doesn't have the confidence he did all week." Too-strong chip shots and too-weak putts combined to torment Cadle on the first nine holes as he went three over par with a 39. Suddenly, his seven-stroke lead was down to two, because Jim Pryor of May-field, bothered all week by the noise around Audubon, had made the turn three under par after starting the day eight strokes behind. Pryor said later, "I made up my mind just to keep my head down on putts until I heard the hall hit the cup." Pryor heard the pleasant sound of another birdie putt on No. 10, and then was only one stroke behind.

'ft 1 scribed by the disconsolate Miss Wright as "real heavy bladed grass on which spike marks made the ball wobble. "I don't believe I've ever played a round like this," she said. "I'd hit the ball well right up to the greens and then, kerplunk, strange things happened." Compared with Miss Wright's 38 putts, Mis Spuzich used 34, three putting two greens for two of her four bogeys. Miss Spuzich hil 15 greens and MKs Wrigh' reached 14 in regulation, underscoring the difficulty most top players encountered in putting. Miss Wright was only one over par until the 13th on which she had a triple-bogey six, not only caroming a five-iron shot into the water, but also three-pulling.

Forty four women from the original field of P9 survived the cutoff with scores of 162 or better. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Four-time champion Mickey Wright, collapsing with five three-putt greens, and steady Sandra Spuzich of Indianapolis, tied for the 36-hole lead with five-over-par 149s in the U.S. Women's Open Golf Tournament yesterday. Although scores improved slightly over Hazeltine National Golf Club's tricky par 72 course, there was a general howl over the hard spike-marked greens. Almost four hours after Miss Spuzich, 29, added a two-over par 74 to her opening 75.

Miss Wright struggled home with 78 following her opening 71 still the tourney's only sub-par round. Deadlocked at 151 were defending champion Carol Mann, two strokes he-hind Miss Wright after the first round, and Clifford Ann Creed. Miss Mann faltered to a 78 while Miss Creed had a 75.

Champ Goes Hunting HE MISSED BOTH BIRDIES George Cadle. who yesterday won the Men's State Amateur Golf Championship, putts for a birdie on the first green as a bird taken a close look. The Middlesboro golfer missed both the birdie puttand the bird, but wrapped up the title by two strokes at Audubon Country Club. -Amataur. million to start new minion 10 siari new Ti 1 9 Ti wa1 Ruby Report pi, grid lcague? Peanuts! Very Old Barton By EARL RUBY, Courier-Journal Sports Editor Frank Leahy, the old Notre Dame football coach, has said he is forming a new professional football league, "with a pooled $24 million in its kicker to outbid the National and American Leagues for player talent this fall." I wonder how far he thinks $24 million would go in a bidding contest where might get only one player? it, but a third major can if organized and conducted properly." Waite Hoyt Says B.

A. Thomas of Shelbyville says he'd like to make me a small wager that Cy Barger never pitched for the University of Kentucky in 1903 and 1904, as I said he did when announcing his installation in the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. The sly old rascal almost had himself a bet. Just in the nick of time, Gordon Hunt of Lexington explained that Cy's school was Kentucky University (now Transylvania). Hunt was Cy's classmate and recalls that Cy not only was a great pitcher for the varsity, but a bearcat at algebra, which was Hunt's weakness.

Waite Hoyt, the old major leaguer jho turned basehall announcer, says he remembers Cy as a pitching mate at Memphis in 1917. "Mike Donlin, our manager, became "It would go down the drain so fast they wouldn't know where it went," A. B. (Happy) Chandler says. Happy has just been over that ground as commissioner of the Continental League.

"There is only one way a third major league can be established in pro foot-hall," Chandler said yesterday, "and a man would be foolish to invest his money along any other lines. "First and foremost the mostcst is a television contract signed and sealed for a period of years. Second is an agreement among all members NOT to try to outbid the National and American, but to take the college talent those two league don't have room for there are scores of stars they can't use, and they won't cost a dime in bonuses. Third is a sufficient number of wealthy men, willing and able to take losses for five or six years, located in large cities which now do not have pro football." Happy said he advised the Continental along these lines. He said they failed to get a TV contract, tried to bid for players, ran short of money, and decided to go minor.

"That cooked me," he said. "A minor league can't make 1 1 Ia i Frank Leahy Happy Chandler profanely abusive with the umpires one afternoon when they refused to call a game because of a downpour," Hoyt writes. "Barger was playing the outfield that day, as he did when not pitching. Donlin became so infuriated with the umpires that to show his utter disdain he made a mockery of the game by taking over the mound himself. He was a man of about 45, who never before had pitched, so you can imagine what a travesty it was.

Memphis naturally lost the game, and that was the end of Donlin as manager. The next day they named Cy Barger to replace him. He helped me in many ways and I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him. "I thought you'd like to know this, and also that I thought your column on him was fine." Thank you, Waite. Thank you.

Mr. Hunt. As for you, Mr. Thomas Clean Water Slow Process Connie Quinn, director of the Kentucky Clean-up and Beautifi-cation program, says she appreciated a recent column on boating's part in the war on water pollution. "We know we are going to be faced with many problems as water recreation increases," she writes.

"The number of people who will be turning to water sports in the next few years probably will double or triple. We do have a tremendous job, and appreciate all the help we can get." Joe Spencer of Paintsville reports that one year ago Paint Creek was an open sewer. "This spring large strings of bass have been caught within walking distance of Main Street," he writes. "How can you calculate the great good that has come from the money spent on a sewage treatment plant when we can have such clean water?" From the other side comes a note from H. B.

Fisher, Jeffersonville: "Have you been on the Ohio River below McAlpine Dam on the Indiana side recently? The overflow from the New Albany sewage works flows down the rocks and into the river. The stench is so bad that it turns your stomach. How can authorities expect individuals to respect and comply with laws when municipalities are permitted to disregard all rules of sanitation on such a major scale?" Mrs. Goose Dies Horsemen everywhere will be grieved to learn that Mrs. Roscoe Goose died yesterday.

as she was affectionately called, was a sports "fan" to the last, reading the Racing Form and making fun bets with nurses at Methodist Hospital. Although in her 70s, Fan had the outlook of a 16-year-old, and got a laugh out of everything. She liked most to joke about how Roscoe "blew" all of the money he was paid for riding Done-rail home as the longest-priced winner' of the Kentucky Derby in 1913. "He didn't have a dime left the next morning," she would say with a laugh, "but it was worth it he's been able to talk about it ever since."
