at nines Pete Passink Wins District Golf Title As Beat igers Dr. Dom Cannatti with 239s tied for the ninth place and were the last to win prizes for their efforts, Passink, who will take over as golf captain at the University of Michigan next spring, thus adds the District Medal trophy to his District Match title which more of from the young third sacker is more productive afternoons like the one he had Sunday. Homer No. 8 Wert had two hits, including his eighth homer of the year, and drove in four runs as the he garnered last year. He rated the winning of these two awards his "big thrills" in local golf competition.

After the match Passink said that his strategy for yesterday's play was "to keep out of trouble." He did just that, firing two birdies and only four bogeys to go just two-over for the day's play. Ron LaParl, BCCC pro said that the playing conditions were perfect, but that the golfers missed a lot of short putts. He added, "The course didn't play tough except for, perhaps, the pin placement on some of the greens." Following are the three-round scores of the golfers who played all 54-holes and turned in their KANSAS CITY (AP) While playing a consistently good game at third base for the Detroit Tigers, Don Wert has not provided as much batting punch this season as the club's front office would like.

Dave Wickersham pitched his first complete game since June 13 and picked up his 14th victory.

He has lost nine. Wickersham limited his former teammates to seven hits, but three of them were homers. Rocky Colavito hit his 29th of the year, while Jim Gentile gpt two, giving him 20. Five KC Errors Five Kansas City errors contributed to the Tigers' landslide, resulting in five unearned runs.

Enquirer and News Photo. DISTRICT MEDAL CHAMPION Here he is, Pete Passink, the 1964 Battle Creek District Medal Play golf champion. He coasted to victory yesterday over the Battle Creek Country Club course.

Orioles Defeated By Yank Rookie Pete Passink walked off with his first District Medal Play championship at Battle Creek Country Club as he coasted in nine strokes ahead of his nearest competitor following yesterday's completion of the three-day, 54-hole tourney. Passink, who went into yesterday's final 18-holes with a big seven-stroke lead played two-over-par 74 to wind up with a 54-hole total of 219, the lowest winning score on the BCCC course in many years of District Medal play competition. Lower scores, however, have been registered on the Mary-wood and Riverside courses. Cutsinger 2nd Second behind Passink, nine strokes behind was Carl Cut-singer who fired a one-over par 73, the lowest score of the day, to jump from fifth place he held at the 36-hole mark. Cutsinger also finished second last year, shooting a 221 on the Marywood CC course.

Hugh Wright, defending District Medal Champion for the past two years, finished third with 232. Wright fired a par 36 on the front nine yesterday, but fell to a five-over-par 41 on the back nine for an 18-hole total of 77. Wright won last year's crown with a 220. Dick Higgins and Ernie Shel- ton tied for fourth and fifth places with 235s, while Chuck Archer finished sixth with a 236. Another Tie George Manusos and Denis Smith each shot 238s to tie for seventh and eighth places.

Jim Graves. Wayne Forsythe and Courtney Is Winner At St. Paul ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) Chuck Courtney headed for Akron, Ohio, today with his trusty four-wood occupying a place of honor among his baggage.

As far as Courtney is concerned it was the four-wood that has made him $11,500 richer and eligible to play in the American Golf Classic at Akron. Courtney was battling for the St. Paul Open golf tournament title with several other profes sionals Sunday when he pulled the four wood out to tee off on the 220-yard par three 15th hole. The tee shot went straight at the green and landed 10 inches from the cup. He easily made the putt for a birdie.

The shot put him 13 strokes under par. He shot one over the est of the 'way and finished at 272, three strokes ahead of his nearest competitors. "That was my big shot of the tournament," he said. "I knew I was battling with several other fellows at that point. But when I saw that ball sail up close to the pin on 15 I could have hung a sign on it," he said.

"I knew I was going to win." Charles Sifford, Los Angeles Jack McGowan, Largo, and Rod Funseth, Spokane, finished in a tie for second place at 275.

By GEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer The New York Yankee farm harvested its annual rookie "find in towering Melvin itot- tlemyre, a blond, 22 year old righthanded pitcher from Mab-ton, Wash. Two weeks ago, Stottlemyre was putting the finishing touches on a 13-3 won-lost record and 1.42 earned run average at Richmond in the In ternational League. He had never been to New York and had seen only one big league mp ho ic tho Vunl-no ctnn per and a personification of the Yankee tradition. He has won his first two major league starts, come within one out of pitching two complete games and 15th holes with putts of two and 10 feet.

But he thought his drive went out of bounds on No. 16 and he had to settle for a bogey. Then came the winning shots on the last hole. Defending champion Phil Wiechman of Holland was far off the pace with a 295 after rounds of 74-76 Sundav. Four-time winner John Bar- num of Grand Rapids had 76-75 and finished with a 295, while three-time winner Walter Bur- kemo of Detroit was two strokes better after Sunday rounds of 76 and 74.

Rosely had never won a major tournament. His best effort to date was a fourth place finish in the Michigan PGA tourney. Tom Arch of Coldwater finished with a 78 for a final 299 score while Dale Grieve of Battle Creek Marywood fired a final 74 for 300. Martin Dragway Results Chris (The Mad Greek) Ka-ramesines of Chicago, outstrug-gled Marsh, Logghe and Stef-fey of Detroit in a best in three run Saturday night. Both cars are fuel powered dragsters.

Ka-ramesines handled a Chrysler, Logghe a Chevrolet. Karame-sines won two straight with a best, time of 194 m.p.h. at 8.14 seconds. Battle Creek winners were: Walt Rush (GS); Jim Scarbrough (BG); Rick Ingles (AMP) Hagerman's Service (CG); Gordon Hart (CG); Clay Ryan (CMP), and Don VanDer-wall (FSA). LET US RUSTPROOF YOUR CAR FOR ONLY Yankees' slide from contention in the American League pennant race, after ace starter Whitey Ford was forced to retire to the bull pen with hip miseries.

The Orioles had taken a 1-0 lead into the seventh but start ler Milt Pappas was forced to leave the game with a stiff shoulder and the Yankees jumped on his replacement, Steve Barber. Brooks Robinson hit his fifth homer in six days for the Orioles tally. In other American League games, Minnesota ripped Cleveland 13-2, Washington topped Los Angeles 4-1, Chicago shaded Boston 2-1 and Detroit stopped Kansas City 11-2.

The White Sox scored the winning run on a wild pitch by loser Ed Connolly in the third inning. Bill Skowron singled home the other Chicago run in the first after Floyd Robinson's triple. Joel Horlen with seventh inning relief from Hoyt Wil- helm, won his ninth game. Harmon Killebrew remained six games ahead of Babe iKutn record nome run pace and five behind the I9bi prog ress of Roger Maris when he slugged his 42nd home run in the Twins' 15 hit attack against the Indians. Zoilo Ver salles also homered for the Twins and pinchhitter Woody Held connected off winner Jim (Mudcat) Grant.

The Twins now have hit 184 home runs. Little Ed Brinkman powered his third homer in four games and Willie Kirkland hit his first home run since coming to the Senators in support of rookie Buster Narum, who gained his eighth victory and first in nearly two months.

Haddock Bros, STRiiGHT WHISKEYS 707; GR1IN NEJTRiL SPIRITS HinlU WALKER SO'iS PE0SI4, ILL mvm jw iluu.w iM1 BRIGHTON (AP) Steady golf on a course which proved harder to master than many players figured gave Thom Rosely of Belmont the Michigan Open golf championship Sunday.

I Sunday. i "The 26-year-old Rosely led from the start in the 44th renewal of the tourney. But his victory did not come easy. Blowing a four-stroke lead after the second round and starting the final 18 holes just a stroke ahead of the field, Rosely needed a birdie putt on the final hole to win. Brien Charter of Jackson, with rounds of 69 and 70 on the final day of play, had already checked in at 283.

Rosely knew it and also knew that he needed to sink the eight-foot putt which faced him. It was the last shot of the tourney. "It was only eight feet away, Rosely said later. "But it looked about 50." The victory was worth $750 to the pro from the Silver Lake Country Club in Rockford. The Lakelands Golf and Country club, which played host to its first state tournament, appeared to have an easy course on which to play.

Par over the 6.197-yard course was a respectable 72 and many of the contestants thought the scores would be low. But when it was all over, only four golfers had finished under par. The others all fell victim to the course's narrow fairways and rolling greens. William Stacey Jr. of Grand Rapids and Jimmy Picard of Pontiac tied for third place with 285s.

The next lowest score was a 290 by Willie Mosley of Detroit. Amateur honors went to Ron Murphy of Clark Lake with a 292. Gary Paegau of Livonia had 297. Rosely, after rounds of 68-69, lost his touch in Sunday's morn ing round and shot a 75. His comment on the round was only that he "couldn't buy a putt."
