So here's a chance for all male golfer, handicaped plajers or not, to get out on the greens in competition play and enjoy themselves befor Old Man Weather decides to call It quits. STAR DIMS WITH ARM Down through the ages of baseball it has been proven that once a great pitcher' arm goes on him, his stardom dims with the limb's usefulness as far as the grand old game is concerned.

Latest Incident to support this fact Is the one In which Robin Roberts' golden arm seems to have started to wilt Something drastic must have happened to the big righthander' muscle or Mayo Smith, Philadelphia Phillies' manager, would not have stroked him from the list of starter on the mound. This latest move by management marks the first time in nearly 10 years that the 29-year-old pitching aca has been relegated to a secondary role. So there just has to be something wrong with the great right arm. Record books reveal that no other pitcher still active comes near the former speedballer when it comes to 10 years of heavy duty. In each of six seasons, he pitched more than.

300 Innings, with a high of 347 in 1953. In each, he won from 20 to 28 games; these in consecutive seasons. Slackening off of the old arm showed up as long ago as last year when Roberts dropped below the 20-win point. He won 19, but lost 18 to lead the league in that department. This year his record is '8-18, bringing his lifetime record to 187 victories and 138 defeats.

Yes, it's true a star pitcher is only as good as his arm. REMEMBER WHEN Australia won all five matches against the United States to regain the Davis Cup at Forest Hills, N.Y., two years ago today.

The only consolation for the Cards was that veteran Stan Mu sial was able to make a token appearance and establish a National League record of having played in 895 consecutive games. Elsewhere in the National, the Braves clipped the Giants 4-3 at New York on homers by Red Schoendienst, Eddie Mathews and Frank Torre; the Redlegs invaded Philadelphia to dump the Phillies 5-2 and at Brooklyn, Ernie Banks clubbed a double and his 30th homer of the year to drive in five runs and give the Chicago Cubs a lopsided 9-4 victory over the Dodgers.

FRIEND IS WINNER At Pittsburgh in the National, the Pirates' Bob Friend out- pitched young Von McDaniel to win the regulation contest. went into the lineup of the suspended game as a pinch-runner. The previous National League record of having played in the most consecutive games was set by first baseman Gus Suhr of the Pirates. He played in 822 games from Sept.

11, 1931 to June' 4, 1937. The major league mark of 2,130 consecutive games was set" by the late Lou Gehrig of New York Yankees. The only run the Cards got off Friend in the regulation contest came in the third on a double by Alvin Dark and a throwing error by first toaseman Frank Thomas. The Pirates got that run back in their half of the third on an infield single by Friend and Bill Virdon triple. The Pirates pushed over the winning run in eighth.

Bob Skinner singled and went to sec ond on a wild pitch. After giving up a walk and getting Gnee Freese on an infield grounder, McDaniel deflected a grounder by Bill Mazeroski. Shortstop Alvin Dark failed to pick up the ball and Skinner scored. The of ficial scdrer gave Mazeroski a hit. McMAHON IS STAR At New York, two innings of perfect relief by righthander Don McMahon made ithe home runs by Schoendienst, Mathews and Torre stand up for the Milwau kee victory.

McMahon trudged in from the Relax beating the Padres 9-8. and Scat ALF SHUKER Goal guardian player recently, Wlpper saji he is in top shape and is as eager as anyone to get into action tonight against the Shamrocks.

At Philadelphia, a pinch hit double by Ted Klaszewski and a homer by Bob Thurrnan -frith two aboard in the ninth Inning gave Cincinnati the 5-2 victory over the Phillies. Ihe last man to hit .400 or betterhe did it in 1941 with a .406 mark Williams believes he "could do it again this season if I had the good legs." "I'll end up with about 10 Infield hits this year," he said.

"In my younger days I'd have had 35 of them. That's "the difference. If a game goes past three hours, my legs just quit on me. And I don't play the second games of doubleheaders anymore."
