Girl Athletes Create Sports World Turmoil By LEE MUELLER Strikes and Spares Giardini Sends Pins Flying At Ten Spot and JOYCE GABRIEL NEW YORK (NEA)-Paul Hawkins is an Australian which says female racing driver Janet Guthrie probably ex- Slains why he's te way he is the cad. Last year at Sebrine. Hawk- FIRST IN SERIES sodes that have snowballed an avalanche of women athletes on heretofore masculine provinces. Not since Bill Veeck was talking about making a second baseman out of Babe Did-rikson Zaharias have women caused so much turmoil in the sports whirl Female jockeys, female race drivers, female harness drivers, female swimmers on men's teams, females everywhere. A school in Albany, N.

is allowing girls to participate with boys in noncon-tact sports. Here in New York, there is a rather militant women's rights group called National Organization of Women (N O. which is bringing to the public's "not very rapt attention" that women are still "second-class citizens." Don't feed that to Nick Je-mas, head of the nearly powerless Jockeys Guild, though. He has had it with women jockeys, having listed 82 reasons why he doesn't want them. Kathy Kusner, a U.

S. Olympic equestrienne, started it Former exercise girl Penny Ann Early helped the movement along and Diane Crump became the first girl to actually ride in an all-male race. Then, a few weeks ago, perky little Tuesdee Testa opened the freeway to other girl riders as she whipped an (-year-old gelding to victory at Santa Anita. If you ask Nick Jemas, however, Mrs. Testa opened the door to something else the hospital.

"No. 1 don't like it," he says, scornfully. "Racing's too tough for women. You don't have women playing football or ice hockey, do you? No, because they're contact sports. Well, horse racing is a contact sport I don't care what anybody says.

"We've got nine permanently paralyzed jockeys now that we'll probably be taking care of for the rest of their lives. We have over 400 injuries each year. "The press made a big thing of it and now the racetracks are exploiting it They're using girls like a carnival act would use some odd person." Even mild-mannered Kelso Sturgeon, information director at Pimlico, predicts lean days ahead for the girls. "When the clamor wears off, the women will have to make it on their own," he says. "Most of the owners are not interested in this sort of thing.

They're too busy trying to make A girl will have to deserve her mount. There are a lot of good jockeys who sit around the track all day now and never get a rule." Still, women are pretty things and very few of them have actually hurt a sport. Harness driver Del Miller recalls one that did at least for awhile. Miller, who raced against a 63-year-old lady in Chicago called Grandma Burright several years ago, says women harness drivers are generally O.K., "except that a few of them will try to take advantage of you. "The judges had to clamp down on one of them in particular," he said.

"She'd be on the outside and, if she wanted on the rail, why she'd move right over and practically make you back up. "We didn't object, though. If we had, there would have been a public reaction and a lot more of them (women) would have wanted to drive." Curbing female participation, however, is not Bill Veeck'! cup of hand lotion. Veeck, now president of Suffolk Downs in Boston, is busj plotting a special race. "We call it the Lady Go-diva Stakes," he said.

"We'll race eight girls on eight fillies for a purse of, say, 10 million green stamps." A in's automobile apparently was forced off the track by another automobile driven by pretty Liane Engerman of Holland, Miss Guthrie's driving partner. Hawkins exploded, verbally, accusing the girls of being, well, women drivers. "Blast them brids, anyway," he fumed. 'Why don't they stay in the kitchen where they belong?" Miss Guthrie, who has won" several races against men, thank you, says Mr. Hawkins was "completely off base" with his accusations.

"It's worth noting, I think, that the fellow is an Australian," she said. "Men in America are more disposed to accepting women on the basis of their abilities." Maybe, Maybe not, At any rate, the incident served as a beginning for a series of epi By STEVE SCHMIDT Tribune Sports Writer MEN'S DEPTw Sam Gi-ardini boomed in the Ten Spot Lanes Keglers ring to set new season highs for three and four-game series.

Rozelle said the answer might come in more preseason games and more regular season games between teams of the two leagues. In both areas, he said, "tiie over-all aura of the two leagues" would be preserved. According to Rozelle, the vote for the committee's recommendations to keep intact the identities of two leagues must have approval of 13 of the 16 NFL clubs and eight of the 10 AFL owners.

(AP) Professional football's most momentuous problem, to become one league of 26 teams or retain the identity of the National and American leagues, remained the No.

1 item on the agenda of the joint meeting today. Commissioner Pete' Rozelle cleared up one elemental point Monday: By 1970, it will be officially and legally the National Football League for all 26 clubs. "But," said Rozelle, "that's a matter of semantics. Operationally, the National Football League will be two leagues. ry between the two leagues, it would be very difficult to come up with a single National League.

A majority of the news media is against this." A survey of season ticket buyers in Houston and San Diego, AFL cities, said Rozelle, showed that 95 per cent preferred to keep intact the image of the American League. The survey also showed, said the commissioner, that much damage in the public image would be to the Super Bowl game, the high point of each league's season, as well as the All-Star games of each league. Rozelle declined to speculate games. Richie Scheinblum scored on Roland Sheldon's bases-loaded wild pitch in the 12th inning, pushing the Cleveland Indians past the Seattle team 9-8 for their eighth straight victory. Boog Powell's two-run homer snapped a sixth-inning tie and the Baltimore Orioles trimmed the Chicago White Sox 3-1, extending their winning streak to seven games.

The Seattle varsity rallied for three runs in the ninth two on a homer by non-roster player Merritt Ranew and topped the Chicago Cubs 8-6. Wayne Granger allowed one hit over the last four innings as the Cincinnati Reds topped Washington 4-2, handing the Senators their 10th setback in 11 starts. Denis Menk's double capped a two-run fourth inning burst that vaiuame player two years ago.

Regarding the alleged racial taunts, Jessen said he observed no racial prejudice against personnel, fans or others from the Fort Yates community. "There may have been one or two isolated cases of prejudice, but this does not indicate the feelings of the school or community," Jessen said. Even if vandals did set fire to the cheerleaders' clothing and some demented clown shouted racial slurs, it seems a shame to condemn the Southwest schools and students for the entire matter.

It has been my experience covering the basketball games, and all the other sporting events in the area for that matter, disruptions such as this are usually caused by only a small group of high school hooligans, seeking some way of boosting their lost egos. But their actions do nothing for their own self-respect. In general the sportsmanship and conduct of fans at area sporting events is commendable.
