I A DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) BAIT.T TOTES Tuesday, February 1, 1966 5 Venturi Wins Sets Sights on Open Sports Scope By Rich Westcott IT'S A GOOD thing this is the jet age because the Boston-Milwaukee-Atlanta (anybody for Helsinki?) could use the airways rather heavily this summer. They could, that is, provid- there isn't another ing there isn't another Civil War between now and the start of next baseball season. It's bad enough flying to LA after a night-game in Philly. But playing the first game of a double-header in Atlanta, and the second game in Milwaukee could get a little tedious. Maybe, that's what will hap- peln, though, if somebody does not arrive at a sensible solution to the latest chapter in that great transcontinental epic--The Tale of Two Splities.

The most recent legal version of the struggle has a Wisconsin court ordering Braves to remain in -and a Georgia court ordering the Braves to fulfill their contracts in Atlanta. You may recall, the same kind of thing ticked'off the Civil War. The South Carolina Sheiks decided they didn't want to play ball with the Washington Yankees, and pretty soon they added some other teams and formed their own league. THE BRAVES, of course, won't form a new league be. cause they would be bucking an organization (major league baseball) that is far too strong.

The organization has such firm and fearless champions of justice as National League president Warren Giles, who when asked to appraise the situation in Milwaukee, gave the typical direct answer: No comment. And there is ever-alert commissioner Bill Eckert--new on the job but nonetheless in command all the way and already ruling with an iron hand -whose main reply was that he had not-had the chance to study the matter. Naturally, you can't fight such stout opinions as these. The Braves' only hope was to go to the courts where justice often begets misery. NOW THERE are two courts at war, and two states at war, and maybe it's time to send the Marines.

In football, there is a thing called offsetting penalties, which means that if the defense and the offense each commit violations on the same play, the penalties are nullified. If the same thing applied to the courts, you know what would happen? The Boston- Milwaukee Atlanta Fidgets would probably end up as the Memphis Misfits with home games in Nassau, Nachez and Nome. Instead of hot dogs, they could sell beer and peaches. If neither court wins, and the nomadic Braves win the pennant, it could be the first time in history the World Series was played in three cities. They wouldn't have open dates for traveling, they'd have them to settle the confusion.

CAN YOU imagine a World Series between the Boston- Milwaukee Atlanta Braves and the California Los Angeles-Annaheim Angels? Think of the headlines BMA Whips CLAA, 4-3, in 10th: You have just read the secret formula for reaching the moon. It might be good for the War On Poverty, but it'd be hell on the travel bureaus. "Sorry sir, your World Series flight to Atlanta has been cancelled because they've decided to play in Milwaukee but it's snowing there and they've transferred the game to Disneyland." Donald Duck now pinch-hitting for Denny Lemaster. Quick, Matthews, get back on third base before that roller coaster hits you. Meanwhile, back at Atlanta 50,000 season ticket holders cram an empty stadium to watch a game on television.

Drive-in movies never like this. THERE IS, of course, a beautiful solution. Bring back the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Crackers, and give the Braves back to Boston so the Red Sox can move to Seattle which would force Cleveland to switch instead to Dallas whereby Cincinnati would join them at New Or- Blizzard, Fire Hit Boivie leans. And if that doesn't work, baseball can always try something else the next season.

(AP) Workmen trying to get Bowie Race) Course into shape for Wednesday's scheduled reopening struggled today with fire-leveled ruins of five barns, snow-choked approach roads and runaway horses. Martin Meyer, track superintendent, said at least 43 horses perished in the flames which early Monday swept through the barn area known as Blueberry Hills just after, a blizzard dumped 18 inches of snow on the area. Grooms and other stable em- ployes, many barely escaping being trampled by the frenzied animals, raced through the crackling barn area to release another 140 horses. 19 MILES AWAY Officials said all but eight or nine had been recaptured by today, some up to 10 miles away.

Track sources estimated losses at $250,000 in buildings and ence where they have fancy names for defenses, Vanderbilt came up with a simple, old- fashioned foul-shot offense to protect its No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press poll. The Commodores made nine of 10 foul shots in the last two minutes Monday night and topped stubborn Auburn 68-63 jit Nashville. The victory was Vandy's 16th in 18 starts and set up Wednesday's SEC confrontation with second-ranked Kentucky. The unbeaten Wildcats won their 15th straight, beating an Alabama slowdown, 82-62.

(AP) -Jerry Burns, dismissed as head football coach at Iowa after five dismal seasons, has stepped up instead of down.

It was a prestigous appointment to a staff that has i--- produced two new head football tied the game at 72-all with 2:4 coaches in the NFL within the Mantle are going to do more bunting this year in Manager Johnny Keane's new plan of attack. "We're not going to sit back and wait for the home run," said Keane, who was bitterly disappointed last year when the injured Yanks floundered and finished sixth. "We are going to do more bunting," said Keane. "What's wrong with having Mantle bunt? With men on first and second year and finished ninth.

When was with St. Louis we used to for the bunt when we played a Chavez Ravine. We're going be doing more of it at Yanke Stadium, Boston and Baltimore "You don't see anybod charging Maris and Mant when they're at the plate, want to make ail our player more adept bunteis.

Keane made his remarks at a news conference Monday, called to announce the signing of pitcher Bob Friend and shortstop Ruben Amaro. Friend reportedly got $42,000 from the Yanks. There were no estimates of Amaro's salary.

Asked if the new bunting at tack resulted from the Los Angeles Dodgers' success, Keane said: "The Dodgers had something to do with it. You notice Boston led the league in home runs last bunt.

If I win it, I just retire. That's my aim." Venturi came back from a prolonged and agonizing slump to win the national title in 1964, but after the circulatory ailment attack he collected just $295 in official money last year. Before the Lucky, he skipped the Bing Crosby, tournament, fearing cold weather, but told friends, "I wanted to play in the Lucky because it's the tournament in my home town." HAND WARMERS Carrying hand warmers to give him feeling when he swung the clubs, Venturi started four strokes off the pace and even with his 33 on the first nine was still four back of leader Frank Beard. Then Beard faltered with three bogeys on the first four holes while Venturi shot even par to move within a stroke of the leader.

Beard parred the 14th, but Venturi found jthe putting secret of the day to sink a 25-footer, and they were even. When Kenney sank a 10-foot birdie putt on the 16th he had the winning stroke. Beard came in at 274.
