Page Eight Tyrone Daily Herald, Saturday, July 15, 1961 Bauer Produces A's Second Win Over Washington In Sweep Cancellation Of British Open May Be Forced By Bad Weather BOLSTERS BUGS By Alan Maver By HENRY W. THORNBERRY B1RKDALE, England (UPI) The British Open golf championship was faced with the first cancellation in its history today if heavy rains and high winds continue and make it impossible to play the final two rounds of the tournament before nightfall. The last 36 holes originally were scheduled for Friday, but were postponed until today because of the rain and wind. The announcement by the championship committee of the Royal and Ancient Club that the tournament were to be declared "void" if it can't be finished today was without precedent in the 101 year history of the Open and was greeted with heavy criticism. Also under fire was the committee's announcement that the tourney would have a "sudden death" playoff for first place today if it ended in a tie-also without precedent in this championship.

Top U. S. hopeful Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, called the sudden-death decision "unjust and unworthy of this great tournament," and as for the decision to void the tournament if it couldn't be finished today, the U.S. star said, "I've never heard of any country winding up an Open championship without a decision." The committee said it made the two decisions because it could not postpone the final Liston Suspended By Athletic Commission PHILADELPHIA (UPI) -Charles Sonny Listen's Pennsylvania suspension caused chain reaction today which left the top heavyweight contender without a ring in which to fight in the United States. Listen's employment problem began when the Pennsy- Tut Bartzen, McKinley Win Zone Singles ST.

LOUIS (UPI) Eduardo Zuleta and Miguel Olvera of Ecuador's Davis Cup team will team up today against Chuck McKinley. St. Louis, and Dennis Ralston, Bakersfield, after losing their singles matches Friday. The United States scored a double victory Friday in the first day's singles matches when Bernard (Tut) Bartzen stopped Zuleta. 6-0, and McKinley, having a little more trouble with Olvera and a headache, won his match, Bartzen, 33, from Dallas, was too much for Ecuador's number two man, allowing Zuleta only two games in the entire match.

The winner of this second round American zone play will advance to meet the winner of the Canadian-Mexican-Morr- ocan series. Ivania Athletic Commission sidelined him "indefinitely" because of his two recent difficulties with the law. The National Boxing Association covering 47 states, quickly backed up the action of its Pennsylvania member. David Ott, NBA in Cleveland that the 26-year- old Liston would not get a license in NBA territory while the ban was in force. The picture also was gloomy for big Sonny in California, New York, and Massachusetts, which are not members of the NBA.

United Press International learned that the suspension probably would be withdrawn within three to six months if Liston behaves himself. Liston was brought on the commission carpet because of two incidents in the past two months. The first saw him arrested for loitering and failing to move on when ordered to do so by a policeman. The charge was dismissed in magistrate's court. The second arrest occur red when Liston and a companion stopped a woman driver at 3 a.m.

on the Schuylkill Expressway. A passing Fairmount Park guard stopped to investigate and Listen allegedly drove off at high speed with his lights off. He was charged with a variety of offenses including impersonating an officer, but they were all dismissed when the victim accepted an apology. two rounds any longer. The tournament cannot be played on Sunday, because of the British ban for charging admission for athletic events on that day.

And the committee said many of the players have "unbreakable" commitments that would prevent their remaining here after Sunday. Palmer said he has a commitment to meet Gary Player of South Africa in a televised golf match at Fort Wayne, on Tuesday but would willingly stay over here until the tournament is concluded, if necessary. The committee said the prize money will be awarded according to the standings at the end of the second round, if the tournament can't be completed. In that case, Dai Rees of Wales and Harold Henning of South Africa would split the first-place money. Rees, the captain of the British Ryder Cup team, was tied with Henning after 36 holes at 142.

Palmer and defending champion Kel Nagle of Australia were one stroke off the pace at 143.

GOOD To Clemente Hits Slam To Beat Giants, 6-4 By SCOTT BAILLIE SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Roberto Clemente, the Pittsburgh Pirate's league leading hitter at .357, likes to get out of windy Candlestick Park as soon as possible and there were plenty of San Francisco Giants around today who wanted to help him. "I play my game here then I get out," the Puerto Rican outfielder said Friday night after his grand slam home run helped demolish the sagging Giants, 6-4. "Too much wind. Sometimes it even pulls at my bat when I wait for a pitch." One guy beat Clemente out of the stadium last night and that was Manager Alvin Dark of the Giants.

When the press burst into his room, all they found was a dirty uniform stacked on the floor. Alvin had blown with about the same speed that the Giants blew a 4-1 lead. McCormick Faces Haddix They try again today when Mike McCormick 7-9 heads for the hill against Harvey Haddix 6-3 in a meeting of left-handers. Dick LeMay tossed up the gopher ball that sent Orlando Cepeda's 25th homer of the year down the drain. San Francisco had a 4-1 lead going when Jack Sanford opened the eighth frame by getting rapped for a pinch double by Dick Schofield.

Bill Virdon looked at strike three, but then Dick Groat, whose error had allowed one San Francisco run to score, drew a walk. Dark then rushed LeMay, the rookie southpaw, out to replace Sanford and Dick hit Bob Skinner with a pitch to load the bags. Smoky Burgess popped out but Clemente followed with his 13th homer, a ball that took off low and gathered altitude like a jet as Willie Mays vainly scaled the left center field fence. Couldn't Remember Pitch "I dunno if I hit a fast ball or what," Clemente said afterward. "Well, you made a fast ball out of it," observed George Sisler, the Pirates batting coach and great American League batter of the speak easy era.

Extra base hits came cheap with the two teams rolling up a total of nine against six hurlers. Clem Labine, who pitched one and a third innings in relief, picked up his second win in as many decisions. He gave up one hit-Cepeda's homer. LeMay was through after his brief eighth inning appearance and now has a record of 1-2. The Pirates gave starter Joe Gibbon a 1-0 lead in the first inning which San Francisco erased in the fifth by scoring twice.

Doubles by Jose Pagan and Joe Amalfitano accounted for one run and another came across on shortstop Groat's bobble of Harvey Kuenn's grounder. Cepeda made it 4-1 in the seventh but Clemente had gone hitless in three trips and was overdue. Sports Parade By OSCAR FRAI.EY NEW YORK (t'PI) Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Don Fullmer, 22-year-old brother of National Boxing Association middleweight champion Gene Fullmer, is really behind the eight ball as he fights Buffalo's Rocky Fumerelle in Madison Square Garden tonight. Fullmer, the younger, once ranked the top 10 and would like to get backup there again. He well coulJ make it, too, if he stows away the Buffalo middleweight who has won of 27 bouts.

12 by knockouts. But the crushing insect in the ointment is that even if he fought all the way up to number one challenger, wtiatcom- mission would let two brothers go at it for title?

Here's another tipoff on the phony quality of the annual autumn idiocy of naming All America football teams. Vince Lombard coach of the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League, thinks he has a real solid gold find in Val Keckin, a rookie quarterback who weighs 220 pounds, is six feet, five inches tall and has a whiplash arm.

a fix. They wanted Reds, Yanks Maintain Leads Despite Losing By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Kansas City manager Hank Bauer carne off the bench and put himself squarely on the spot to prove that doing it yourself still is the best way to get anything done. Bauer, who will bow out as an active player in six more days because he honestly feels he "can't do the job proved differently Friday night when he drove in the winning run as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning of the nightcap. Bauer's blow clinched a double header sweep for Kansas City over Washington, the A's winning the second game, 9-7 after snapping a five-game losing the streak with an 8-3 triumph in the opener. Here was the situation: The Senators twice had blown three run leads.

With the score tied 7 all. Dave Sisler came into pitch for them in the 10th and filled the bases by yielding singles to Jerry Lumpe and Norm Siebern and a walk to Gene Stephens. Southpaw Carl Mathias relieved Sisler and Lou Klimchock was sent up to bat for Joe Pignatano but was recalled. In place of Kimchock, Bauer, who will be 39 in two weeks, put himself up and promptly came through with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Lumpe with the tie breaking run. Wayne Causey then singled in an insurance run.

Rakow Goes Distance In the opener, Ed Rakow went the distance for the first time this season, pitching a seven-hitter to beat Joe McClain and register his se- Don Fullmer, Fumerelle In Bout Tonight NEW YORK (UPI) Dark- haired Don Fullmer, younger brother of middleweight co- champion Gene, attempts a comeback tonight at the age of 22 in a nationally televised middleweight fight with highly toutored Rocky Fumerelle of Buffalo, N.Y.. at Madison Square Garden. For Don of West Jordan, Utah, it will be the first start since last Feb. 4, when he lost a split decision to young Joey Archer of New York in the same Garden ring. The betting is at "even money" for this 10-rounder because blond Fumerelle is an "unknown quantity" as he makes his Garden main-event debut, despite the upstate tales of his prowess and his record of 26 victories against only one defeat in his 27 bouts, the top 10 contenders in the 160-pound class.

Before his February defeat, Don was rated sixth by the National Boxing Association and ninth by The Ring magazine. He is determined to get back up into the select group. Fumerelle, 23, likewise is ambitious to grab a top 10 rating. His admirers say he has the punch and aggressiveness to do it. Fullmer is a year younger than Rocky but he had two more fights.

His 29 bouts include 24 wins, four defeats and one draw. His victories include nine knockouts. Sikes, Molendo To Battle For Publinks Title ROYAL OAK, Mich. (UPI)- Medalist Dick Sikes, a lean and hungry University of Arkansas golfer, set out to defy tradition Saturday as he battled Detroit's John Molenda in a 36-hole match for the 1961 U. S.

Public Links championship. In the 3G year history of the USGA-sponsored tournament, only two medalists have won. They were the late Carl Kauffman of Pittsburgh, in 1920, and Will Crossley of Atlanta, in 1947. In Friday's 36-hole semifinal, Sikes ousted JohnSchlee 21-year-old Memphis State star from Seaside, 2 and 1. to know what time the I960 playoff game was A burglary suspect was 11: ing the game as an alibi.

cond victory. The Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees, 6-1, but the Yanks still clung to first place by three percentage points when the Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers, 5-2. The Baltimore Orioles nipped the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, and the Cleveland Indians downed the Los Angeles Angels, 7-5. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs edged the Cincinnati Red, 8-7, in 10 innings but Cincy still preserved its five game lead when the Philadelphia Phillies snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-5 winover the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 innings. The St.LouisCar- dinals beat the Milwaukee Braves, 2-1, and the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the San Francisco Giants, 6-4.

Sheldon Helps Chisox Rookie Roland Sheldon of the Yankees uncorked three wild pitches in one inning- one short of the major league record-and the White Sox took advantage of them to score three runs that clinched Juan Pizarro's fifth victory. The Twins handed Frank Lary of the Tigers his fifth defeat when they tagged him for four of their five runs, including a homer by Bob Allison. Dick Williams' three-run homer in the ninth inning powered the Orioles to their victory over the Red Sox. Don Dillard singled home the tie breaking run during a two run eighth inning rally after Willie Kirkland hit his 16th homer in the seventh inning for Cleveland. Bobby Locke was the winner and Jim Donohue the loser.

Battle With Homers The Cubs Reds' game was a battle of home runs but it was decided by Dick Bertell's pinch single off loser Jim Brosnan in the 10th. Billy Williams hit two homers for the Cubs and George Altman's two-run homer in the ninth tied the score at 7 all. Frank Robinson hit his 25th for the Reds. Two triples by Lee Walls helped the Phils end their losing streak against the Dodgers. Walls tripled home two runs off starter Johnny Podres as a pinch hitter in the eighth, then led off the 10th with another triple off loser Roger Craig and scored the winning run on DonDemeter's single.

Carl Sawatski's ninth inning homer off Bob Buhl broke up a 1-all struggle between the Cards and Braves. Lindy McDaniel brought his record to 6-3 in relief of Larry Jackson. Roberto Clemente powered the Pirates to their victory over the Giants with a grand slam homer in the eighth inning. Clemente's 13th homer of the year came off rookie Dick Lemay, who had taken over for starter Jack Sanford with two on and San Francisco in front, 4-1. DANCE Saturday Night 10 P.M.
