C-6 July 8, 1987 Green Boy Press-Gozette From C-1 carts in Senior Open Baker, Cayo belt homers as Jolly Siding triumphs despite Owens' protest Rec softball Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, for which an exception was made when concerns arose about the effects high altitudes might have on players. "I wish we hadn't done it and, as it turned out, I don't believe it was necessary," he said. Boatwright said he, too, sympathized with Owens. "We don't like to look like a bunch of ogres. We wish we could figure a way to let Charles Owens play (with a cart).

But you can't do it for him without doing it for everybody else. How do you treat one player differently from another? There are a lot of guys who would like to ride." Owens vows to play as long as he can as a protest on behalf of all handicapped people. He said he hadn't decided whether to take legal action. "Are they trying to find out who can walk 72 holes and come off the least tired or who's going to be the person with the lowest score?" Owens asked. "This is an endurance test, not a golf tournament." Owens hasn't played in the U.S.

Senior Open since 1984 because he hasn't been able to walk well enough to get around 72 holes. Owens didn't make the cut in 1984, but said he wouldn't have been able to complete the tournament because of the pain. He walked the full 72 holes in 1982 and needed to take three weeks off to recuperate, he said. "For three years I didn't play because I couldn't walk," he said. "But I'm competitive enough to win, so I should have the opportunity to play.

"People come out to see us do one thing play golf. They don't care how you get around there if you can make those numbers small. They want to see good shots executed." He qualified for this year's Open with two victories last year and decided to play when he received support from such groups as the Disabled American Veterans and the President's Committee for the Employment of the Handicapped. "I'm going to give it all I have. I've never been a quitter," he said.

"I'm going to go until I feel like I'm hurting too much to recuperate for next week. I'll back off at that point." "I have my crutches with me, so they'll give me a few more holes to walk around," he added. Owens is resigned to withdrawing whenever his knees and back bother him too much. "I'm not playing to win. I have no chance to win," he said.

"I'd be the happiest guy in the world if I could finish 18 holes." FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) Golf carts were allowed in the U.S. Senior Open two years ago and PJ. Boatwright the USGA's executive director of rules and competition, didn't like it one bit. "Aesthetically, it wasn't a pretty sight to see spectators, many of them older than the players, walking up hills while the golfers rode carts," he said.

"It takes away a lot of the dignity, I think." In the face of a protest by Charles Owens, the United States Golf Association and Boatwright stood firm on Tuesday in defending their decision not to allow carts in their championship events. Owens, who has a fused left knee and ankle as well as back problems, said he would play in this week's U.S. Senior Open but probably would be on crutches by the time he finishes the first round. Despite letters from his doctor and from four advocacy agencies for the handicapped, Owens, 57, said he was told by USG A officials that they would make no exception to allow him to use a golf cart this week on the hilly Brooklawn Country Club course. "I don't think the USGA should discriminate against the handicapped," Owens said.

"That's what they're doing. I'm handicapped, golf is my living and I need to be able to make a living." Owens was told he couldn't use a cart even for a practice round, so he passed up the opportunity because he wanted to try to save his body for the opening round Thursday. Owen3, who has won $78,400 on the Senior Tour this year without a victory, suffers from a variety of lower body ailments that started when he hurt his left knee in a 1952 parachute jump while with the Army at Fort Bragg, N.C. He has had four knee operations and suffers from chronic arthritis in his lower back. He takes cortisone injections and pills to control the pain.

Carts are optional on the Seniors Tour, which is sanctioned by the PGA, and so Owens is able to play as many tournaments as he wants. But carts are not allowed by the USGA, which sanctions Open competition at all levels. "The USGA sympathizes with Charles Owens and others who want to play in the Senior Open but who find it difficult to walk," Frank Hannigan, senior executive director of the USGA, said in a prepared statement. "We continue to feel that walking is an integral and desirable part of championship golf," Hannigan added. "The Senior Open will therefore remain a competition which does not allow carts." Boatwright recalled the 1985 Senior Open at the Press-Gazette Paul Baker hit a solo home run and a two-run homer and Jeff Cayo added a solo homer as Jolly Siding raised its record to 6-0 in the Howard White fast pitch league with a 6-3 victory over Re-Play Lounge Tuesday night.

In other Howard games Donn VanStraten tossed a two-hitter, striking out 10 and walking three as Mechanical Systems blanked Blarney Stone 3-0. Clark-Rabida scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to beat Sha-Booms 3-2. Randy Perz tripled home the first run and then scored the winning run on an RBI single by Mike Moen. Bucky Wickman hurled a two-hitter and aided his own cause with three hits, including a three-run homer as Blarney Stone downed Fat Albert's Lounge 5-1 in the Green Bay National fastpitch league. In the same league Mark Lambert had an RBI single and Mike Linsky hit a three-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to give Schooner's War Pigs a 10-9 win over Connie's Bowery.

The Ribbons, who led 7-0 after the top of the fourth inning, carried an 8-4 lead into the bottom of the ninth after Joe Plamann singled home Dave Ciske in the top of the ninth with what proved to be the winning run. In the bottom of the ninth starting pitcher Troy Cota, returning to action after a leg injury, gave up a home run to Brian Neveau and than walked Chris DeLarwelle. Robin Rusch then relieved Cota and on his second pitch Steve Rothenbach belted a two-run homer over the leftfield fence to Tyson charged with assault, battery Quails said. "Things are blown out of all proportion if there's a way to make gain," Tyson's manager, Bill Cay-ton, said in a taped interview on Albanv, N.Y., television station WNYT Tuesday night. Quails also said Tyson, who listed his hometown as Catskill, N.Y., was ordered-to appear in court July 30 for arraignment.

Tyson, the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association heavyweight champion, is scheduled to face International Boxing Federation heavyweight champion Tony Tucker on Aug. 1 in Las Vegas, Nev. The maximum penalty for misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon is one year in prison and a $10,000 fine. The battery charge holds a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $2,000 fine.

"Something was out of whack and it seemed like we just didn't show up tonight." Seattle added two runs in the eighth, keyed by Valle's sacrifice fly, which scored Reynolds.
