Page Eight Tyrone Daily Herald, Tuesday, August 24,1965 Palmer's Late Charge Falls Short As Lema Wins Carting By DICK DEW UPI Sports Writer SUTTON, Mass. (UPI)-Tony Lema used to drink champagne on a beer budget. He still drinks champagne but now he can afford it. Lema headed for Akron, Ohio, and the next tournament on the pro golf tour carrying a check for $35,000 for winning the Carling World Tournament. The 31-year-old Lema won the brewery's fat first prize when he survived a final round comeback charge by Arnold Palmer and his re-enlisted army.

Palmer's attack on Lema's leadership of tournament overcame a five-stroke deficit, reminiscent of some of his greatest comebacks. Took Hea rt But the 35-year-old all time professional money winning champion bogied the 16th and 17th holes at Pleasant Valley Country Club. And Lema, in trouble several times though he capped his championship with a one-under 70, took obvious heart when Palmer's charge ran out of gas. Suave Tony, his celebration champagne on ice in the press tent since his lead reached five strokes, safely matched par on the final seven holes to run his official tour earnings to $98,016.62. "If anybody ever told me I'd make $98,000 in one year playing he said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I once got a check for $7 in professional golf." He played even par golf for the first two rounds in the rain- postponed tournament, caught fire in his third round with a four-under 67, and came home with a 279 total. That was two strokes better than Palmer's 69-73-70-69281. Palmer earned $17,000 to markedly improve his position as 27th on the money list going into the tournament. Rugged Joe Campbell bit hard on his eighth cigar of the day and sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th for third money of $8,500 with a 282 total. Sam Snead, who used a wood on the greens after breaking his putter in disgust halfway through the last round, wound up tied with South Africa's Gary Player, the top foreign finisher, for fourth at 283.

Each pocketed $6,850, so Snead can certainly afford a new putter. Homero Blancas, the rookie pro from Texas who had tied with Lema entering the final round, suffered a virus throughout the last 18 holes and tied PGA champ Dave Marr at 284 for sixth place and $5,500. Bobby Nichols, winner of the $35,000 first place prize in last year's inaugural Carling's, wound up tied for 13th place. And jack Nicklaus, the tour's leading money winner, earned only $945 with a tie for 38th. Nicklaus had needed $1,730 to match Palmer's all-time tour price record of $128,239 set in 1963.

League Standings National League 73 71 69 68 66 L. 53 52 52 55 57 61 65 69 73 86 GB. 3 5 12 15 21 Pro Football Teams Slicing Excess Manpower From Rosters By WILLIAM VERIGAN UPI Sports Writer Those pre-season professional football games may not count in the standings, but they're mighty important to the players who stake their jobs on exhibition performances. As the deadline for player cuts approaches, teams in both the National and American Football league's, are slicing excess manpower from their rosters. Struggles are carried on within teams as well as between teams as players attempt to outshine each other.

The Denver Broncos of the AFL made a wholesale cut of nine players, including seven veterans, on Monday. Veterans cut were defensive backs Bob Suci, Larry Jordan and Carl Charon; tackles Jim Perkins and Stan Fanning; guard Don Shackleford and fullback Don Stone. The rookies were John Dowler, offensive end, and Terry Nyquist, kicking specialist. The Minnesota Vikings of the NFL put six players on waiv- ers, including Jerry Reichow. Reichow, a veteran receiver with eight years experience, was placed on waivers with rookies Frank McClendon, defensive tackle; Jerry McClurg, defensive end; halfback Mel Meeks; Woodrow Peeples and offensive guard and fullback Ron Barlow.

However, players cut from the rosters don't have to place "position wanted" ads too often. Many teams are willing to try out their rivals' discarded players. The Philadelphia Eagles released rookie defensive back Bob Mirabelle Monday, but they also signed veteran pass receiver Gary Barnes, who was released by the Chicago Bears last week. Barnes, 6-feet-4and 210 pounds, has played in the NFL for Green Bay and Dallas in addition to Chicago and Phil, adelphia. in the AFL, the New York Jets signed linebacker Mike Dukes, a free agent cut last week by the Boston Patriots.

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL meanwhile continued trading as they surrendered two future draft choices totheDetroit Lions for rookie offensive end John Hilton and Pat Batten, a fullback. The Steelers also revealed that linebacker Myron Pottios, who suffered a dislocated left shoulder against the New York Giants Sunday, will be sidelined six to eight weeks. Bill Nelsen, who stunned the crowd two weeks ago with his passing talent, continued to be hobbled by a sprained knee. Relatively few serious injuries resulted from games over the weekend. Doctors said veteran Boston Patriot running back Larry Garron will be sidelined several weeks with a broken collar bone, and Marlin McKeever of the Los Angeles Rams was expected to be released from the hospital within a few days after recovering from a moderate concussion.

night Dodger Players Unhappy With Marichal's Fine, Suspension By GENE COSTELLO PITTSBURGH (UPI) Juan Marichal has publicly apologized for hitting Dodger catcher John Roseboro on the head with his bat, but some Los Angeles players feel his $1,750 fine and nine-day suspension were too lenient. The San Francisco Giant pitching ace clubbed Roseboro Sunday when Roseboro's return Little League World Series Play Underway WILLIAMS PORT, Pa. (UPI) Eight Little League baseball teams flexed major league muscles today and began three days of play which will make one of the best gosh-darned, man-sized 11 and 12 year-old team in the world. It was opening day for the 19th annual Little League World Series and the eight teams from Canada, Europe, South America, japan and the United States all had the tide glint in their eyes. Windsor Locks, eastern champions of the United States, met the Maracaibo team from Venezuela in the first game and Waco, Texas, the U.S.

southern champions, met Phoenix, A the western champions, in the second game. The Wednesday schedule called for Stoney Creek, the Canadian champs, to play Rota, Spain, the European representatives, in the first game and Jeffersonville, the U.S. northern champs, to meet the Arakaw Little Leaguers of Tokyo, Japan, the Pacific representatives, in the second game. The semifinals are Thursday afternoon, and the title game is Saturday. The youngsters were down to serious business after a community welcome following their weekend arrival, and they gave each other the once-over in their formal and casual throw to pitcher Sandy Koufax nicked him on the ear, according to Marichal.

Roseboro denied the ball hit the Giant pitcher. It took 14 minutes to quell the brawl that ensued when both benches and bullpens emptied onto the field. Marichal was banished and Roseboro left the game with a cut on his head which was treated by the Dodger trainer. The only apparent effects to Roseboro were a headache and a bump Monday. National League President Warren Giles notified Marichal Monday of the league action.

He ordered that Marichal pay the fine and if the club advanced it to him, the sum had to be deducted from the pitcher's salary. To Miss Start The nine-day which figures out to only eight playing dates means that Marichal will miss his next start and be one day late for his second. The Dodgers, expecting Giles to really sit down hard on Marichal, were incensed. They were in New York to play the Mets. "I thought it was a real gutless decisions," said Dodger captain Maury Wills.

"I think the punishment should have been much more severe." Don Drysdale would not comment on the punishment meted Marichal, but he significantly pointed out that he was once suspended five days because an umpire "thought" he threw at a batter. "They did it backwards," Ron Fairly maintained. "He should have been suspended 1,750 days and fined $8. 1 thought he got off very leniently." Roseboro, by nature a quiet man, said he didn't care what the league did to Marichal. A questioner persisted, however, and asked the Dodger backstop what he would have liked the punishment to be.

Alone Together "Just him and me in a room for 10 minutes," he said softly. Marichal offered the apology at a 10-minute news conference at Forbes Field preceding a game against the Pirates Mon- day night. He said he may have acted in fear of Roseboro. "I hit him first because I didn't know if he wanted to hit me with the mask," Marichal said. "I am sorry I did it.

I was afraid of him, the way he was coming at me." The mound ace said he took Koufax' first two pitches and was afraid the. Dodger left- hander was going to pitch him close. He said Roseboro's toss back hit his ear. "I felt it," he said. "I never thought he'd throw to hit me." Marichal said he turned and asked Roseboro, "why did you do that?" and received no answer.

Flag Race By LEONARD A.

GRANATO UPI Sports Writer There's nothing like a hot pennant chase to bring people to the old ball game, even if it's In Milwaukee County Stadium. For most of the season the Braves have been playing in front of close friends and relatives, with the attendance dipping to 913 for a game with the Houston Astros. The gentle folk of the city that made beer famous had been staying away from the park in retaliation for the Braves' scheduled move next season to Atlanta. On Aug. 8, though, 20,882 came out to a double header which the Braves swept, touching off a streak of 11 victories in 15 games despite the rigors of an extended road trip.

The Braves returned to County Stadium Monday night and counted 12,565 cheering Milwaukeeans in the seats. They proceeded to edge the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 and move into second place, two percentage points behind the Dodgers. LA On Top Los Angeles maintained its precarious perch atop the National League with an8-4error- filled victory over everybody's cousin, the New York Mets. In the only other senior circuit action, San Francisco tumbled from second to third place, one and one half games behind Aids Rookie In 14th Victory: Piersall Dumps Bench, Goes On Hitting Spree 46 52 54 53 55 62 68 70 78 80 GB. 9 9 in 25 36 By GEORGE C.

LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer Jimmy Piersall meant eve-y word when he vowed to play baseball "until they tear my uniform off." The irrepressible outfielde'-, who will be 36 years old in November, has been shuttled around to four different teams in the last three years and twice has been handed his unconditional release once by his present employers, the Los Angeles Angels. Setbacks like these just add fuel to Piersall's competitive zeal, and it is little wonder that the comeback player of 1964 is on the rebound again this season afterbeingvirtually ignored on the Los Angeles bench. Piersall drove in the winning run for the second consecutive game Monday night, belting two doubles and a single and accounting for four tallies in the Angels 8-2 triumph over Cleve- land. He has collected seven hits in his last 13 at bats and raised his batting average to .273. Birmingham Presby Wins 6th Straight Pittsburgh To Play Washington fn AAABA Final JOHNSTOWN, Pa.

The Pittsburghers defeated Detroit, 10-7, Monday night in the semifinals to earn the playoff berth. Washington defeated Pittsburgh, 7-4, in an earlier meeting in the tourney. Birmingham Presbyterian scored its sixth straight victory and seventh win in its last eight games by whipping EUB 11-3 in the second game of a Church Softball League doubleheader last evening. In the front contest St.

Obviously, a unified grip finds your hands fitting snugly together, occupying a minimum amount of ice on the clubshaft (No. 1). Vlso, to work as a unit, the hands must more or less parallel each other.

The palms should face each other at right angles to the target line. A good way to assume such a grip is to stand with your hands at your sides with palms inward. Then merely move your hands in front of you and onto the clubshaft, still with the palms facing inward toward each other (No. 2). 8-25 by NAT'L.

N.wi. Inc. of America Minor League Re-Schedules "Exhibition" It will be the Mothers against the Managers again on Saturday in a Tyrone Minor League sponsored baseball game at the league's Athletic Park field. Last Saturday's contest was called because of darkness with the Managers leading 12-7. The Mothers, however, protested the game since they could still see while the Managers insisted it was too dark.

Also perturbing the little women was the fact that the men did not show up on time for the game and its late start led it into darkness before its full completion. This coming Saturday's game is scheduled to start sharply at 6 p.m. Playing for the Mothers are the following young ladies; Josie Weston, Miller, Susie Hoff, Martha Riggleman, Bonnie Hamer, Billie Turnbaugh and Sonji Dawson. Members of the Managers team include Bill Robinson, Jack Hagg, Bill Milton, Pete Milton, Chalk Riggleman, Dick Smith, Larry Smith, Dave Cupp, Richard Bradford and Mark Dicks on.

He drove in th ree runs and scored another Monday night to help rookie hurler Marcelino Lopez register his 14th victory. Pier- sail also drove in the decisive tally in the Angels triumph Sunday over Minnesota. Lopez fanned seven and walked only one while the Angels raked loser Jack Kralick 5-10 and two relievers for 14 hits.

Tony Oliva stroked a two-out double in the last of the ninth inning to tie the score for the Twins and Jerry Kindall blooped a single, in the 10th to score Bob Allison with the winning tally.

Gates Brown cracked a three-run homer in the third inning to account for all the Detroit runs.

the Dodgers, by dropping a 6-2 contest to the Pirates and St. Louis pounded Chicago 10-2.

Cincinnati threatened to go ahead against reliever Billy O'Dell but left the bases loaded. O'Dell settled down and set the rest of the Reds down in order to preserve Johnson's 14th victory.

The Reds took the lead on Tommy Harper's solo homer in the first. The Braves came back with single runs in the second, third and fourth and won the contest with four in the fifth, highlighted by Gene Oliver's 17th homer.
