1 If at WIDNtSDAY, JULY 22, 1964 SUM-DEMOCRAT fACI THIRTfW DRIVE 111 NOV1 Howling Results Don Chandler May Be At End Of The Line In Pro Ball FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) Don Chandler, probably the most Important part-time pro football player since Lou Groza, appears to be through because Coach Allie Sherman of the New York Giants doesn't want him to be a part-time player. If this is confusing, it's Just because "part-time," can have 'n -Al i ''f I 7 Chandler has been the Giants' WW i i I REBEL STAR GOES TO MOREHEAD -Jerry Trimble, seated center, a guard at South Marshall last season, has signed a grant In aid with Morehead State College of the Ohio Valley Conference. Pictured are, from the left, seated, Gerald Trimble, Jerry Trimble, Mrs. Gerald Trimble, and, stand-Ing, Dr.

Harry Carpenter (representing Morehead), Coach Bill Cothran and Principal Reed Conder. Dialogue In The sooner or later they got to throw where I can reach it with my bat." Umnlre Jorkn f.nnlan Is kind of homespun Irish philoso pher whose sharp tongue and ready wit has wilted many an argumentative ball player. 'If a player has a few bad days in a row," Jocko says, "the manager -sits him down and gives him a rest and he can get the sounds of the boos out of his ears. An umpire can't sit down and some of us have bad days just like everybody else. We got to come out every day and face the same people." Manager Walter Alston of the Dodgers has a basic concept of his lob.

"All you have to do is win," he says. Even in LA, the land of make belief, that isn't always possible. That's when the second guessers start. "That's the time you get plenty of suggestions from everybody," says Alston. 'The suggestions don't bother me.

That's part of the job. What does bother me, though, is that the suggestions always come tomorrow for the game that was lost yesterday." Whitey Ford still hasn't been caught throwing a spitter, al though he has been accused often enough. He has his own reply a couple or meanings. As applied to Chandler the last couple of years it meant he was a kicking specialist, coming into thev game only to punt or place kick. As Sherman defines it and vetoes it it would mean he would show up only a couple of days before each game and not take part in day-by-day training.

Chandler, a balding 28-year- old who has lucrative business and Insurance interests In Tulsa, was among the miss ing at the official opening of the Giants' National Football League training camp Monday. He told Sherman he would like to play another season, but only as a part-time player, i.e., show up Just a couple of days before each game. He said he feared spending more time with the Giants would jeopardize his outside income. "Maybe it was okay In the past," Sherman said, "but the game has grown to where no one can do their best with a part-time effort. You're either a full-time professional football player, or you're something else." Chandler, who led the NFL In scoring last season with 106 points on 18 field goals and 52 extra points, later told a Giants' official he may change his mind.

But he was not available for direct comment at his home in Tulsa. "He could change his mind," the Giants' spokesman said. "He said he was quitting but I know he wants to talk to his boss in Tulsa some more." Sherman, meanwhile, began looking over linebacker Jerry Hillebrand and tackle Lou Kir- ouac as place-kicking replace ments, and Del Shofner, Dick James, Bill Winter and rookie Joe DonLooney as possible punters.

Sport Shorts MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Chess Federation said Monday that it would accept U.S. chess star Bobby Fischer's challenge of its top players if the U.S, Chess Federation sends a corresponding official challenge. Fischer was quoted as being ready to prove in a match here or in New York that he ranks with the Soviet Union's world champion Tigran Petrosyanas the world's leading player.

Bisno" of the United States. HwiffceiMaaeraW'A DON CHANDLER 10-4 Mark Could Win NFL Title HIRAM, Ohio (AP) Coach Blanton Collier says he believes the 10-4 record the Cleveland Browns compiled last season should be good enough to win the Eastern Division champion ship in the National Football League this year. "Competition will be that much tougher," Collier told his squad in the orientation lecture at the opening of summer train ing camp Monday. "The challenge this year may be even greater," Collier de clared.

"Our team last year sur prised a lot of people. We were picked to finish fourth on down. "This time there won't be any surprises. It's different when they're waiting for you." The Browns were second to the New York Giants in the div ision last year. The coach introduced Nick Skorich, former boss of the Phil adelphia Eagles and now defen sive line coach for the Browns, to the squad.

He took Over the place-kick ing chores two seasons ago aft er the retirement of Pat Sum- merall and was an immediate sensation, scoring 104 points in 1962 and 106 last, season. A Double Becomes A Homer BOSTON (AP)-Wherr Is double not a double? Simple. When the umpire calls it a home run. That's the Red Sox version of a disputed home run, or was it a double Monday night which: 1.

Launched a Detroit comeback toward a 7-5 victory over Boston and enabled the Tigers to vault over Los Angeles into fifth place in the American League. 2. Got Manager Johnny Pes- Ky tossed out of the game. 3. Capped a wild night for Detroit center fielder George Thomas.

Thomas' two-run homer struck the top, front edge or fac ing ol the left field wall in the seventh inning, bounced high in tne air and feu back on the field. Third base umpire Bill Hal-ler held up Thomas at second, apparently ruling a double. The Detroit bench was fit to be tied. After consulting plate umpire fc.a Hurley, the home run sign was given, the Sox flew into a rage and Pesky was banished. "The ball hit on the point of the wall and bounced back 10 feet over my head," said Sox left fielder Dick Williams.

"The umpire booted it." Haller-'l went in to ask Hurley: 'It is a home run if it hits the top of the He said yes. so I call it a home run." Thomas "I saw the ball jump and thought it went into the screen." Pesky-'Tm surprised Haller even went In to ask Hur ley. That's what made it look bad. He called it a double one time, then reversed his decision. It changed the complexion of that whole game.

Butch Heffner was going along pretty good as our pitcher, too, until that." Dick McAuliffe tied the score with a two-run homer in the eighth, Bill Freehan singled and Don Wert doubled him home with the winning run. A suicide squeeze bunt provided an insur ance score off reliever Dick Ra datz in the ninth. Tne Fenway Park ground rules say that a ball hitting the bevel of the wall between the left field foul line and the flag poie in left center, then bounc ing pnto or out of the field, is a double. at trm. -mat not a Devei, it's a point," Williams insisted.

"The ball didn't go out of the park. If the ball hits on top of the wall it has to go into the net If it hits the side of the wall it will come back sharply. It could only have hit the point." 1 123 i OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY i. i Birthday NEW YORK (AP) At an age ing chair Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons will observe his 90th birthday Thursday by going to the races. Dugout when questioned about whether he wets up.

"When I was a little boy," said the Yankees' pitcher-coach "my mother always told me never to put my fingers In my mouth." Phillies manager Gene Mauch likens inside baseball to going to church. "Many attend," he says, "but few understand." i There are as many superstitions connected with baseball as there are people in the game. Some take them more seriously than others. Bobby Bragan of the Braves, confessed to having many. "But," he says, "as soon as they stop working for me I dis card them." There is a National League in- fielder just about reaching the end of his string who is as im mobile as a ball player can be without becoming an obstruction.

"The umpires," says a teammate, "are thinking of making him a ground The former pilot of the Reds, Braves and Indians' was asked what is the manager's most im portant asset.

"And the winner of the Miss Woodford was King's Story." Born July 23, 1874 during the Grant administration James Fitzsimmons, to list his given name, has seen racing develop from a frowned-on sport into a billion dollar industry.

He started his career as a water boy at the old Sheepshead Bay track in 1885. He had indif ferent success as a jockey be fore gaining international fame as a trainer for the Belair Stud and Wheatley Stables. He has won Just about every famous stake with such horses as uallant box, umana, iair-ene, Isolater, Johnstown, Vag rancy. FiRhtine Fox, Nashua and Bold Ruler. I feel fine," said Mr.

Fitz, still a familiar figure at Aque duct race track. "I've gotten lazy and sometimes don't get up until after 8 a.m., but I'm doing all right I feel sorry for those folks with aches and pains.

The A's won the World Series for Mr.

Mack and Gallant Fox swept the triple crown of racing for Mr. Fitz. Sunny Jim never bets more than $5 on a race these days, usually just a duece. "I used to think I could beat them," he recalled. "But I was cured at Saratoga in 1919.

By MILT GROSS North American Nawspapar Alllanc NEW YORK, July 21-Coach Tony Cuccinello of the White Sox is the uncle of Sam Mele, manager of the Minnesota Twins.

There is a strong bond between the men, who often seek each other's advice in the AL pennant race. "You'll have a rooting problem if the race is close at the end," a guy said to Cooch in jest. "When Sam's playing the Yankees or the Orioles," said Tony, "I root for my nephew, naturally. But when it comes down to the big thing you know how I'm rooting. Money is thicker than blood." Sandy Koufax once was a first baseman, a poor hitting one, he.

reminds all, but like all pitchers he also preens himself whenever he hits safely these days. He does not, however, consider it too important. "I don't mind going 0 for 4," the Dodgers' great lefthander says. "It means I'm still around at the end of the game and that, after all, is the idea when you walk out on the mound. Every scout looks for hard-throwing pitchers who can blow the ball past the hitters, but not everybody can find them.

"I like guys who can throw hard enough to strike somebody out," says Al Campanis, the head Dodger scout, "but if they can't do that then I like those who can throw soft enough to keep the batter from hitting the ball too far." "No manager can have everything," says Casey Stengel, "now I got guys who got good arms, but bad heads and 1 got some good heads with bad arms, If I could only take the heads from some and the arms from the others I think we'd do bet ter, Willie Mays doesn't like hav ing baseballs pegged at him to loosen him up at the plate, but he realizes it is a strategic con cept of baseball, even if It doesn't necessarily always work.
