Giles Loses In Amateur Tourney; Corter Wins HOT SPRINGS (AP)-The 50th Virginia State Amateur Golf Tournament moved into its second round today with 31 self-satisfied survivors and one fellow who doesn't think he belongs in such exalted company. Sure, Regie i a was as pleased as you'd expect when he ousted defending champion Vinny jtlGet handy 6 -PACKS Any good time is FALSTAFF time AMERICA'S PREMIUM QUALITY BEER FAISTAFF MEWING SI. Mo. Giles of Lynchburg in yesterday's opening round of match play. Like everybody else, the 43-year- old Virginia Beach golfer likes to win.

"But really," said Viar, "I had no business beating that boy. Why, I never practice. He could whip me seven days a week. He's just better than I am. "In a way, it's a pity he's out of the tournament and I'm still in." Giles, 20, doubtless considers it a pity, too, but the peppy redhead had no excuses for the 1-up licking he took in his very first try at defending the title he won last year at this same Cascades course.

"He beat me the way you have to beat another guy in match play on the greens," said Vinny. "He sank the putts and I didn't. I had 37 putts and he had 30, and you can't win when you bake 37 putts to get around." Beating Giles, by the way, is nothing new for Viar. In 1960, when he got all the way to the quarter-finals, he downed the Lynchburg lad in the second round, 3 and 2. But in 3960, it wasn't quite such an accomplishment.

Viar's foe this morning in the first of two gruelling Tuesday rounds a grind that terrifies the older goifers was another veteran, Ade Bowman of Hampton. Still in contention, too, were former champions Ned Baber of Richmond, George Fulton of Roanoke, (and Dick Payne of Virginia Beach, plus 1931 state open titlist Buddy Clement of Virginia Beach and a raft of precocious teenagers. Viar's upset of Giles was one of several which shocked the golden anniversary state amateur in yesterday opening round. Sent reeling to the sidelines, too, were medalist Frank Summers Jr. of Staunton and ex-champions Bobby Loy of Virginia Beach and George Gosey Jn and James 0.

Watts Jr. of Lynchburg. Summers fell a 1-up victim ot unsung Johnny Johnston of Roanoke; Loy lost an overtime heartbreaker to cool and collected Nelson Broach of Richmond, 1 up on the 20th hole; Gosey was whipped by George Vaughan Jr. of Galax, 2 and 1, and the elder Watts lost to Orville Hamlin of Blacksburg, 5 and 4. Emerging as a dangerous contender once more in yesterday's play was 33-year-old Morris Bee- croft of Newport News, who had a medal score of four-uneler-par 67 in a 3 and 2 victory over young Richard Barbarics of Roanoke.

Another par-buster was 17-year- old McClain Corter of Petersburg, who had a medal 69 while scoring the day's most lop-sided victory, an 8 and 7 conquest Dyke Peebles of Lawrenceville. Joining Corter in the advancing ranks of the younger set were 14-year-old Ricky Napier of Richmond; 18-year-old Bill Kellam of Virginia Beach, and 19-year-old Jim O'Meara of Leesburg. Spotlighted pairings in the upper bracket this morning matched Payiw with Ralph English of Rocr.oke, another oldtimer; Herbert with Buddy Loving of Charlotbesville, and wonder-boy Zack Clement with Brad Tazewell of Virginia Beach. In the power-laden lower bracket the features were meetings be tween Baber and Blair Nicely of Lexington, Broach and Jimmy Watts II of Lynchburg, Fulton and Corter, and Beecroft and Buddy Clement, Zack's father. The younger Watts staged an upset yesterday by ousting 1959 runner-up Jordan Ball of Virginia Beach, 2 and 1.

SportHght 'Cleo' Version Is Suggested For Net Flops By JIM BECKER Associated Press Sports Writer FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (AP-The pro tennis people, fussing, euding and suing each other, have just turned their national championships at Forest Hills into he biggest financial flop since Lhe Because they are mad at 'ancho Gonzalez, the old champion, they rigged the tournament against him. Pancho lost on the first day, the tournament lost its only drawing card and the promoters lost their white flannel Tousers. It kind of makes you wonder what these promotion geniuses would have done if they had made movie Cleopatra. Let's see: Palmer Wins; England Bound CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Arnold Palmer, with his fifth tour victory and a bushel basket full of money, heads for England Wednesday in quest of his third straight British Open golf championship.

The 33-year-old Pennsylvania plutocrat carved out a five-birdie 67 Monday to defeat Tony Lerrw and Tommy Aaron by three strokes in their playoff for the Cleveland Open a $110,000 fixture. They had tied at 273, or 11 under par for the 72-hole jaunt over Beechmont Country Club yard course. The victory gave Palmer $22,000, boosted his three-week take A Soles Service RANDOLPH MOTORS Hopewcll GL 8-8000 or GL to $54,000, ran his 1963 winnings to a record $85,545, and his 10- year total to an unapproached $430,323. Lema, 29, San Leandro, pro, and Aaron, 26 from Gainesville, picked up $8,550 each. It was the biggest payday for Aaron, who has never won a pro tourney and moved him to eighth in the earnings list with $22,550.

Lema has the Memphis Open title and several high finishes to his credit for a fourth-place $60,963. The playoff, the last four holes of which were televised nationally, was anti-climactic. Palmer, with three birdies, was three ahead of Lema and four ahead of Aaron at the end of six holes. With five to play, just before they moved into camera range, Palmer led Tony by five strokes and Tommy by seven. Aaron, who birdied the last four to get into the playoff, birdied three of the same four to tie Lema.

The events would include mcm- xrs' puppy dog stake, members' im dog stake, open shooting dog take, open derby, and an ama- shooting dog stake. Trophies for these events will provided by the Petersburg nd Colonial Heights Chambers of Commerce. Robert Talbott is president of ie new club, and other officers re Vance Barbour, vice presi- et; Linwood Parrish, reasurcr. The officers, along vith Dennis Nugent and Virginius Baugh, serve as the board of di- ectors of the 28-membcr club.

Those interested in the trials ire asked to contact Parrish at RE 3-6115. Scene: A smoke-filled room at the Forest Hills tennis club overlooking the deserted grandstand of the center court where Ken Rosewall and Rod Laver are playing the final match. There is an icy chill in the room, which is peopled by Gonzalez; his hated Tony Trabert, president of player's association, and Jack Kramer, the semi-retired big ivheel who has feuded with Gon- for years. Trabert: 'Look down there at the so-called crowd. Six relatives and a guy who thought this was the Roller Derby.

I've seen bigger crowds watching a guy fix a fiat on the Freeway." Gonzalez: "What did you expect? You did everything but. poison my drinking water to gel me out of the tournament, and I'm the only drawing card you've got. Those fellows down there drew 190 people last week in Haven." Kramer: "OK, so this thing is a frost. Let's get back to the drawing board. I've got a line on a new racket-- we'll make a movie about Cleopatra." Gonzalez: "With you playing Caesar, of course." Kramer: "Of Course." Trabert: "How about Rosewall For Marc Anthony? We got him tied up in an iron-clad contract and it'll give us a return on our investment.

I know his name ain't much, but it isn't absolutely illegal to pay to see him. It just that way, some times." Kramer: "Good idea. Now I'm thinking of this first scene in the movie, the one where Cleopatra died after the snake bites Gonzalez: "You're going to kill off Cleopatra in the first Trabert: "That's the way we always work. And maybe we can get Gussie Moran to play Cleo- )atra. It's only a couple of lines, mostly groans, people won't pay much attention." Kramer: "Yes, we've still got ussie under contract, I think.

We paid her sixty grand or some- hing, and she didn't draw enough people to fill a telephone booth at a bookies' convention." Gonzalez: "Only a couple of incs for Cleopatra, mostly 'icons' That's ridiculous. Trabert: "You were expecting maybe Elizabeth Taylor?" Kramer: "So that's settled. Now after we get rid of Cleopatra, we have Marc Anthony, that's Rosewall, and Caesar, that's me, in black face, doing a soft shoe routine." Gonzalez: "People are tired of that old act. They quit watching it long ago, like all your other acts." Kramer: "And the last scene will be a smash. We'll take al those beat-up tennis players we've got under lifetime contract, who are eating us out of house anc home, dress them up like Chris tians, and feed them to the lions.

We use real lions. That will take care of the guarantees we stiV owe them." Trabert: "You don't think Aus tralia will get mad, do you' That's where we got most of those guys, and they still haven' forgiven us down there for Phai Lap." Kramer: "Don't worry about a thing. Those old tennis players have been out of the news for so Ion? most people think they're dead." Gonzalez: "What's in this movie for me?" Trabert: "You play an Egyp tian mummy. It'll be the first time you shut up in years." Gonzalez: "That's a pretty small part, and I'm still a big name." Trabert: "Who needs big names? Besides, you're al through--and I'm glad."

This was one the Wisconsin All-America end gave for signing to play rofessional football instead of )aseball. Richter, No. 1 Washington draft choice, signed a contract with the National Football League Redskins last month after the Wisconsin baseball schedule was concluded.

He signed for what is said to be the highest salary a tedskin rookie ever received, an estimated $21,000. "I got tired of baseball in those ast. games before the season ended," he said at a news conference Monday. "Some of those lasted three or four hours When you go out to play football you play for an hour and its over --none of this extra inning business."

Becoming alarmed as a result of the excitement around her she soon was trembling with excitement and fear.

She ran into icr bedroom and knelt beside icr bed. When she returned to ler family a few minutes latter color had been restored and icr face was radiant. All of you can stop worrying now she an- lounced calmly. I asked God take care of us and 1 know that he will. The tornado changed its course and passed a few miles from their home.

God wants us to rely upon him with the whole hearted unquestionable faith of a child. Tornadoes, i loods and other terrors hold no fear for us when we depend upon for protection. We are always safe in the refuge of his ove, knowing that what ever happens he wilt take care of us.
