The 24-year-old outfielder, who sat out the entire 1968 season v.ith a serious eye injury, came through with his booming bat. Conigliaro, hitless in 18 straight times at bat, smashed a three run homer in the eighth for the victory. He signed about three autographs, starting after the fifth inning, before General Manager Dick O'Connell phoned the dugout and ordered Tony to cease in the top of the eighth.

Injuries Plague Pro Golfers In Greater Hartford Open By BOB GREEN Associated Press Golf Writer WETHERSFIELD, Conn.

(AP) They should be calling this the Invalid Open, or the Walking Wounded Classic. Lee Trevino still was troubled by an ailing back going into today's first round in the Greater Hartford Open Golf Tournament. Deane Beman hurt his ribs again. Dave Hill still has some problems with Ms right hand. And it would appear that.

Hay Floyd's feelings are hurt. "I'd just rather not talk about it," the flamboyant Floyd said when queried about his with- Lions Cut Three; Can- Walks Out DETROIT Detroit Lions cut three players from their squad Thursday and four- year NFL veteran Henry Carr walked out on the team. Carr, on trial as a defensive back, walked out of the Lions' training camp in Bloomfield Hills reportedly because he felt he wasn't being given enough of a chance to show off Ms skills. A Lions spokesman said coaches were trying to talk Carr into returning to the team. The spokesman denied reports Carr had been placed on waivers.

He has been under contract with the Lions for the past two years. Cut from the squad Thursday were Ron Barlow, rookie Backer from Kansas City, George Chatlos, linebacker from Michigan State and Greg Kent, second year defensive end from Utah. The three players have been placed on waivers. They be claimed by any team in the league. drawal from last week's Avco Classic, an action that brought criticism from the PGA and tournament sponsors.

It came right after Floyd had made the PGA national champion Ms first major title and his tMrd crown of the year. He had been committed to the Avco, but said he had to get some clothes. Tourney officials at first refused to accept his withdrawal and it appeared that the brash 26-year-old would be faced with disciplinary action. But all eventually was forgiven and he moved into tMs event as line of the top candidates for the $20,000 first prize. Beman, winner of the Texas Open 'earlier tMs year, rein- jured Ms ribs in a practice round.

"I was just taking a swing and pulled something," Beman said. "It's not so good. I can Mt a wedge okay, but that's about all. Of course, there are going to be a lot of wedges on this course, but it would be a little too many if you have to use it off the tee." The long-time amateur from Bethesda, cracked some ribs while playing baseball with Ms children more than a month ago and has made only one start since then, missing the cut last week. Trevino, the self-proclaimed super Hex, pulled out of the Avco in the first round when he popped some vertebrae out of place his back.

And the trouble is back again. "It's kinda binding," Trevino said. "It's just not quite right. I think I hurt it again fishing a couple of days ago, man, we caught a ton, but I might have pulled something." And Hill, with Floyd the only other three-time winner this season, has some tendonitis in Ms right hand. "I just don't feel quite comfortable," Hill said.

"But it's probably psychological as much as anything." Luce Snowmobile Program Next Winter To Be Aired NEWBERRY An extensive project based on snowmobile recreation has been proposed by the Luce County Chamber of Commerce, and members are Interested in any help and ideas local people can give.

The trails will each have a complete first aid Inbofi- Ran located nt central position. It also planned that each safari will have some sort of communication with the community.
