J. "Dutch" Harrison, the onetime Arkansas traveler, gave the youngsters a golf lesson yesterday by shooting his second straight sub-par round to take a two-stroke lead at the halfway mark in the $40,000 Los Angeles Open. I I 1 1 1 (1 jlSv thing at that time to make any moves. "For one thing," he added, "it didn't appear the city would be available." He said at present, the Milwaukee organization plans to stay in Wichita for the entire 1958 season, BUNNIXG SIGN'S Twenty-game-winner Jim Bunning, a Carrollton, Ky native, became the first Detroit Tiger player to sign a 1958 contract. The tall right-hander received "a substantial" pay increase, but exact figures were not disclosed.

Bunning, the surprise of the Tiger staff, was the club's only 20-game winner. In 45 games, 30 of them starting assignments, Bunning. compiled a 20-8 record and a 2.7 earned run average that was one of the best in the American League. The 26-year-old pitcher had 14 complete games and in 267 innings struck out 182 batters and issued only 72 bases on balls. REDLEGS CARDED The Cincinnati Redlcgs yesterday announced a 36-game spring training exhibition game schedule squad, was rated No.

2 by the Western Lawn Tennis Association. If i jj that includes two games in ths Louisville area. The Redlcgs will meet the Washington Senators at Fort Knox on April 7 and on April 8 will play the Senators at Fairgrounds Stadium here. WHAT NOW? Now that major league baseball has all but officially approved a compromise plan for New York and West Coast territories, what comes next further franchise shifts, or expansion? Commissioner Ford Frick, who drafted the territorial definition offered to the majors by a special four-man committee Friday, has indicated he looks for expansion, perhaps to 12 teams in the National and American or to a third league. National League president Warren Giles also sees expansion as the more logical next step.

Significantly, however, Mayor Wagner's committee, set up to return the National League to New York, already is on record as being "reasonably sure" it can lure an existing N. L. franchise to New York now that the big town is "open." The mayor's committee hasn't indicated which N. L. club or clubs it had in mind, although the Cincinnati Redlcgs and the Pittsburgh Pirates have been mentioned off and on since the Dodgers and the Giants gave up and fled to the West Coast.

White Sox Start From Wire Dispatches Ed Doherty, president of the A i a Association, said last night at Denver, there are no franchises available in the Class AAA league for new teams. Doherty said he had not received a telegram sent by the Burnett interests of Dallas, asking what procedures should be followed to apply for membership in the American Association. He said he presumed it would be in his office Monday. "In any case," Doherty said, "we already have eight franchises in eight cities. Our constitution states that we must have eight franchises, no more and no less.

At this time, we just have no vacancies. Could Fill Franchise "And I think baseball's blue book (of regulations) makes it clear that, at least until the opening day of next season, the Texas League holds the Dallas territory. The Texas League could fill that franchise with a team that plays in an open lot, if it wished," he said. The Burnett interests own the baseball stadium at Dallas. They have withdrawn their team from the Texas League, and have offered to rent the stadium to a new franchise holder at a "reasonable" but not "cheap" figure.

No Effect Foreseen At Wichita, the general manager of the Wichita Braves said the application by Dallas interests would probably have no immediate effect on the attendance-troubled Milwaukee farm club. Lynn Stone said the parent organization surveyed the Dallas situation several months ago and it didn't look like the best Couritr-Jeurnal Photo I II It TO II I .11 r.S Louisville's Kenny Kuhn, left, Cleveland infielder, and Dqnnie Beckhart, center, former polio victim, join ex-Tribe hurler Bob Feller, Ohio March of Dimes chairman, to tell 110 teen-agers from seven counties about polio campaign yesterday at the Sheraton-Seelbach, II a li a 1 1 Si l)ring Drills Feb. 24 Chicaco. Jan. 4 uf Chicago White Sox Manager Al Lopez ordered his entire squad of 39 players to report for spring training in Tampa, February 24.

In addition to the 39 players, up to 10 outstanding men from the Sox minor league system will be invited to camp, Pete Rademacher said "it may very well happen" when asked if he planned to challenge Floyd Patterson again this year for the world heavyweight boxing championship. The former Olympic champ was knocked out by Patterson in their fight at Seattle in Chuck Spieser, already under contract for a light-heavyweight title fight with Archie Moore, signed to meet Miami's Bobby Layne in a 10-round bout February 1 at Detroit. No date has been set for the Spieser-Moore match, and there are increasing signs it may not materialize since the champion is holding out for a $100,000 guarantee. John Walsh, boxing coach at the University of Wisconsin since 1934 will resign this year because of the pressure of his law practice. Football The Touchdown Club of Washington, D.

selected Frankie Albert of the San Francisco 49ers for its annual award as outstanding pro coach. Dick Plasman, former pro player and coach, was signed as a line coach by the Pittsburgh Steclers to replace Nick Skor-ich, who resigned, Plasman played college football at Van-derbilt. Elsewhere Leo LcBel of Hartford, won the world barrel-jumping-on-ice championship for the fourth straight year at Grossing-er, N. Y. LeBel cleared 16 barrels for a distance of 27 feet, IOV2 inches.

Charles Trcmbley of Keenc, N. a member of the 1956 Olympic team, won the Swedish Ski Club tourney at Bear Mountain, N. with a jump of 158 feet. Two professionals from Pakistan and a pair of American amateurs advanced to the semifinals of the U. S.

Five men were tied for second at 140 Tommy Jacobs and Smiley Quick, both of Los Angeles! Charley Sifford and Stan hudas, both of Philadelphia, and Ciay Brewer, of Cincinnati and Lexington, Ky.

Some of the first-day leaders faded clear out of the picture. Among them was Mike Krak of Morgantown, W.

Playing before a record-smashing second-day gallery of 12,750 under a scorching sun, Harrison, now of St.

Louis, mastered the course despite three-putting three greens. Dutch was out in 36, back in 34, prov-ing his iron play was near perfection. It took a score of 149 or better to qualify for the final 36 holes, to be played today and tomorrow. Among those who qualified were defending champion Doug Ford, with a 144, and "world" champion Dick Mayer, who barely made it with a 149. The leaders: 131-E.

Tenuis Pro tennis promoter Jack Kramer virtually gave up hope of landing Australian doubles star Mervyn Rose for his tour even as Aussie Lew Hoad took a 2-1 lead over Pancho Gonzales in their 100-match "world series." Hoad, a failure in his first appearances as a pro last year in the United States, outlasted world pro champion Gonzales of Los Angeles 6-3, 13-11, 6-4 at Sydney, Australia.

U. was hitting from outside the Xavier zone while the Muskie shooters weren't quite so accurate. Stein and Freeman cut the margin to six with 11:04 left and a follow by Viviano narrowed the gap to four at 23-19 with 7:45 to go. Kitchen and Goldstein pumped it back to eight at 30-22 but Freeman and Stein put the Muskies close again at The last five minutes were a real dog-fight with Xavier holding a slight edge. Although DuPont picked up his fourth personal at 3:16 the Cardinals managed to move out at 37-31 with about two minutes remaining.

However, Louisville couldn't hang on to the advantage as a shot by Castcllc off a screen and a crip by Frank Tar-taron reduced the count to 37-35 with 56 seconds showing. Tieman rang up one from the outside but Viviano matched that with a medium. Andrews whipped in a short with 10 seconds to go to give Louisville its 41-37 halftime margin. Both clubs hit well in the opening half, U. L.

bagging 42.5 per cent of its 40 shots and Xavier tagging an even 40 per cent of its 35 attempts. Louisville looked a little better on the boards, particularly on its defensive board but lost the ball eight times on errors. Although DuPont was riding the bench with four fouls, Louisville managed to keep a step in front of the Musketters through the early stages of the second half. They finally went ahead of U. L.

for the first time at 54-53 as the Birds hit one of their familiar dead spots and went scoreless for almost four minutes. Xavier sat on a two to four-point lead through the final eight minutes of the regulation time and the Cards were still down 68-64 at 1:02.

Cards Post Is Vacated By Richards Chicago, Jan. 4 (Hi Ray Rich ards quit Saturday night as coach of the Chicago Cardinals, less than a month before the expiration of his contract. Both Richards and Managing Director Walter Wolfner expressed regret at his decision to resign, but there have been numerous reports of disagree-: nienls between the men over the i disappointing performances of the Cardinals in the 1957 Na- tional Football League campaign. The Cardinals finished last in the Eastern Division with three wins and nine defeats.

In 1956, with virtually the same personnel, the club finished in second place with seven wins and five losses. Payments Include Interest ind If Insurance. Pistons Tip Warriors; Nats Win Detroit, Jan. 4 (AP) Veteran Dick McGuire sparked a fourth quarter rally that earned the Detroit Pistons an 81-78 triumph over the Philadelphia Warriors Saturday in a National Basketball Association contest that was televised nationally (NBC). McGuire, the playmaker, scored only 13 points but got nine of them in a frantic final period that saw the Detroit club overcome an eight point deficit they faced after the first minute of play in the period.

The triumph gave the Detroit club two straight home victories for the first time this season.
