(Calif Nt.lMt.17.* IwftMi.lf.A Ciifrif.fl. A JOE BU1TITTA Marvin "Vinny" Giles III, of Richmond, has had to forfeit amateur status as a golfer. You may have read about it. Giles violated Rule 1-9 of the Rules of Amateur Status; It defines an anateur golfer as "one who plays the game solely as a non-remunerative or non-profit making sport" and cite examples which violate that definition and cause forfeiture of amateur status. Rule 1-9 reads: "Accepting golf balls, clubs, golf merchandise, golf clothing or golf shoes from anyone dealing in such merchandise without payment of the current market It was reported that Giles might have accepted six dozen balls at Augusta prior to the 1970 Masters tournament from a representative of the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Corp, When questioned by the United States Golf Association, Giles readily admitted that he accepted the balls.

The USGA Executive Committee decided that, should Giles file application for' reinstatement to amateur status, his probationary period would be two months, beginning with the date on which he indicates that he will file application. The rules specify that an applicant is normally not eligible for reinstatement "until he has conducted himself in accordanco with the Definition of an Amateur Golfer for a probationary period of at least two consecutive years." The rules further state that the USGA Executive Committee "reserves the right to extend or shorten such period." Philip Strubing, President of the USGA, issued the following statement: "Vinny Giles' acceptance of the balls was a thoughtless act no more and no less. Vinny says he met socially with a long-time acquaintance a Dunlop representative who asked him if he had tried the new Dunlop Ball. "Vinny replied that he could not recall whether or not he had tried the brand and the Dunlop representative said he would give him a few to try. Two days later a carton containing six dozen balls was sent to this room and Giles says he never really gave any further thought to them.

"Vinny states he did not play the Dunlop balls at the Masters, nor has he played them since and that the only use he's made of the balls has been to give a few of them away. Those remaining will be returned to the manufacturer. "These facts, combined with his outstanding record as an amateur sportsman, justify the imposition of a short probationary period. We consider Vinny Giles to be a remarkable young man one who has compiled an enviable record as a golfer while at the same time achieving academic success in both college and law We have been proud to have him represent the USGA on our International Teams. "The Rules of Amateur Status have been in no small way responsible for the healthy climate golf enjoys.

We know that golfers, including members of the Professional Golfers' Association of America, agree that a clear-cut distinction between amateurism and professionalism is in the best interests of the game. "We are not naive as to think that violations of Rule 1-9 do not occur, nor that the Dunlop employee in this case is the only manufacturers' representative who has played a part in subverting the rules. "We have said before and we say again that manufacturers who offer golf equipment to amateurs perform a deplorable act one that tends to undermine the very game they profit from, to say nothing of the moral fiber of the amateurs they tempt. "The Rules of Amateur Status are enforceable only insofar as they are accepted by the great majority of golfers. "The USGA has neither the a nor the inclination to play the part of a policing agency.

Nevertheless, we will continue to act when specific violations come to our attention." Giles has been runner-up in the United States amateur championship in each of the last three years. He was a member of the 1969 U. S. Walker Cup Team and the 1968 U. S.

To the Sports Editor: Not possessing too many literary talents, but very appreciative to people who do things for me, and for the things I believe in, I would like to take this opportunity, as chairman of the Sylmar Independent Baseball League to thank you and your fine staff of reporters for the outstanding coverage you gave our tournaments this year.

I know personally that thousands of parents and friends of the boys involved in the tournaments anxiously await the "Green Sheet" arrival, in order to read your fine coverage.

Western Hollywood. LOCcll To The Sports Editor: It has come to my attention that the sports page of The News is becoming worse with every issue. More specifically, I am speaking of your coverage of Little League baseball. Your writers have given wrong times of starting the games, wrong addresses of the Little League fields, and wrong information on the coverage of the actual games. In one particular case, an individual player who hit a home run in the game was not given credit In fact, your staff goes and gives the home run over to some other player on the team.

The box scores are never correct, and all it does is confuse the matter even worse. I sincerely feel that some better coverage should be given to these games or you shouldn't even cover them in your paper. Thank you for your time, MARK BECKER A Concerned Reader efeated by South Reno Cont. from 1st Sports doubled for the Nevada team in the second inning and went to third on a wild pitch. Pitcher Creighton then helped himself with squeeze bunt that brought home his batter-mate.

A case in point is the red-hot run of albacore, blue- fin and yellowfin tuna, skipjack and yellowtaiL Since early this week, anglers at Redondo Beach, Pierpoint Landing, Pacific Sportsfishing Landing, 22nd Street Landing and Norm's Landing, havt racked up tremendous scores on the best assortment of gamefish in local waters in many a moon. The run for tho fighters in short compared other years.

An average of six hours for boats from the Los Angeles Harbor country as the schools are concentrated off the east end of San Clemtnte Island. But, in most instances, those six hours resemble the famous "lone-end" so prominent several years back in football. The customers, who should be stacked shoulder-to- shoulder, are prominent by their absence, Surprisingly enough, a checkup Wednesday at the various landings showed local and Catalina Island boats loaded to the gun'ls, while the longhaul feet making the chase for the big game fish had plenty of space over I this week end in the passenger department. Local and island action is on the torrid side along with the albacore and tuna family, Results in the Anacapa-Santa Cruz island com- pound show large numbers of calico, bull bass and sand bass. Local fishing is a repeat of the island sport, plus some good halibut action.

Each area fished by Port Hueneme sport fans island and local are paying off in large numbers of kingsjze bonito. Bonehead to 14 pounds were reported by managers. More good counts of big bonito, halibut and larga numbers of calico and sand bass are checked in at Malibu Pier. The catch has been scored by half day boat fans and fishermen on the movie colony pier. Starting this week end Malibu headman Bill Huber opens daily all-day runs with the new Aquarius.

A 60-footer complete with a new inside galley seats 20 persons, something new in the movie colony's operation. The boat leaves the landing daily at 7 a.m. and will fish both local banks island grounds, Another inovation through the bay area has been the barge fishing at Santa Monica. Operator Versal Schuler of the Santa Monica Sport- fishing fleet has brought the flatboat sport back into the central bay section after a lapse of more than 10 years. Some excellent results are enjoyed with halibut, rock bass, sand bass, mackerel and plenty of large bonehead in the daily take.

More top scoring figures are posted in south bay waters as anglers at Redondo Sportfishing connect for plenty of fish, including bluefin tuna off the Rocky Point section. Along with the bonito, rock cod and halibut taken on the boats, Redondo operators report several bluefin brought to gaff on the Redonde barge this week, which comes in the nature of a fur- prise payoff anyway you look at it. Results posted on the dipsy Scoreboard in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor show all four landings Pacific, Pierpoint, 22nd Street, and Norm's con: necting for excellent amounts of the BBB plus rock- cod, bluebass, some white sea bass and sculpin.
