Afternoon, July 23. 1062- Player Needs US Open To Complete 'Personal Slam Soviet High-Jumper Breaks World Record But America Triumph Goalby 2nd In PGA Tournament By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor XEWTOX SQUARE, Pa. (UPI) Garv Flavor the new PGA champion, had one more champhm' slup go todav to achieve his golfing ambition. When the 26-year-old o-foot-7-inch South can shot an even par 70 Sunday to win the PGA i it left him only one more crown to go for his own golfing grand slain." "When I started out in this business of being a golf -professional nine years ago," Player said.

"I had one goal. That was to win the four big ones. Now I've got ihree of them--the Masters, the British Open and the PGA. "All I need now is the U.S. Open and I am going to go out and get it next year." Wears Black Clothes The black clad Player, who chews raisins to keep his strength and wears black because it makes him feel "warm and strong," finished eighth in the U.S.

Open this year in which Jack Nicklaus beat Arnold Palmer for the title in a tralian Bruce Crampton Player Worried Onct Player, who says he never likes to be the lead, was only worried today at one time-when he three- putted the seventh and eighth holes. "Then I decided I had to be Gary Player and not to worry about Goalby or anyone else," he said, "So I went out and played my own game." It was good enough. Those two three-putters on the seventh and eighth gave him his only bogeys of the round. To match them he birdied the fifth playoff His best showing in the and thirteenth holes with putts of biggest one of them all-the U.S. 30 and 40 feet Open-was Tulsa in 1953 when "That forty-footer on the thir- he finished second four strokes' -behind the winner, Tommy Bolt.

Player was the first foreigner to win this tournament since Australian Jim Ferrier won it in 1947. "Now as a foreigner I have won them all except tlie U.S. Open. Last year I was the first foreigner to ever be your leading money winner. Now I want to become the first foreigner to win the four big ones." He can't make it this year, for tlie 513,000 he picked up Sunday by winning the PGA gave him total of him $30,000 behind Palmer.

Palmer Ties For 17th Palmer picked up only $966 in finishing tied for 17th place--ten strokes behind the winning player. It was a heartbreak for Palmer who was going for a "three-quarter slam." He had won the Masters and the British Open this year and his golfing ambition is to win all tlie four big ones in one year. That would be the U.S. Open and the PGA in addition to the titles he now But it was the opposite for Player. "I've been hearing ever since I won the Masters in 1961 'What's happened to Gary Player." "Well, I let them know yesterday I was still around." His 36-34--70 over the 7,045 Aronimink course with its par of 35-35--70 was good enough to give him the PGA championship by one stroke over Bob Goalby, a former University of Illinois foot- bail player.

Goalby started out the day four strokes behind Player and one stroke behind Doug "Ford, the second round leader. He made a good run of it finishing up with a 35-32--67 for a 279 which was just one shot away from Player and gave him second place money of $6,700. 7 ext came U.S. Open champion Jack Nicklaus and George Bayer, who were two strokes off with their totals of 281. Nicklaus had a final round of 69 and, JJayer a one over par 71.

One stroke behind them came Ford, who slipped to a 71 for a total of 282 which was worth S2.900. Bobby Nichols was next in line with a 283 and at 284 were former U.S. Open champion Jack Fleck, long hitting Paul Harney and Dave Ragan. Jay Hebert, the I960 champion, came in at 285 while at 286 were former PGA champions Dow Finstenvald and Chick Harbert, former U.S. Open champion Julius Boros and Boh McCallister.

Then at 287 came Gary Middlecoff and Doug Sanders and in the tfroup at 288 along with Palmer were Sam Snead, who has won this three times; Jackie Burke, another former champion: Frank Strananan; Billy Farrell and Player Convinced teenth did it. Then I got thinking 'This is Gary Player, and I am going to play like him the rest of the day and not have people say I choked From the thirteenth on he played even par. "I knew how Goalby was doing because I was playing with him. Then when I found out that Bayer had bogeyed the 18th I figured I was in so I played the 18th safe but I still had a problem there. "I was on the green 85 feet away and Goalby was on only 25 feet away.

I wanted to make sure to get my first putt close for then even if Bob sank his long one I still would tie. But Bob went past the cup, just like I did, and we both sank our putts coming back. And believe me, that two and one half foot putt looked awful big." But he sank it and now he needs that real big one--the U.S. Open- to make his golfing career a complete one. Which is a real success story.

And yet, John Barnum, the giant from Michigan who shot a course record 66 in the first round, had to settle for success in reverse. He finished with an 86--dead last.

Harold Connolly of the United States demolished his world mark in the hammer throw Saturday with a fling of 231 feet, 10 inches. Brumel also bested his old mark of 7-4 5-8 and he did it on his very first shot at the 7 foot, 5 inch height. But it only was one of the eight first places which the Soviet track and field squad could pick up while the United States men won 14 events. The same old story prevailed in the women's battle however where the Soviet gals displayed too much muscle and bustle. With Tamara Press racking up wins in the discus and shot put, the Russian women posted seven first places to the Americans' three and outscored them, 6641.

"Finest Coach "This was the finest bunch of boys we've ever had," said Coach John Oelkers of the United States. "And they're really going to be ready for Tokyo." Getting down to cases, Oelkers disclosed that he had expected the United States to collect from to 130 points. Sunday's turnout of nearly 82,000 at Stanford Stadium watched Jim Beatty turn in the best race of the day. He won the 1,500 meters in 3:39.9 to set an American record. In another key American victory Sunday, Jerry Siebert -probably running his last race-'escaped from being boxed in during the first lap and roared home ahead of the field to win the 800 meters.

His clocking 1:46.4 also knocked four-tenths of a second off the meet mark which he set last year in Moscow. In other big wins Sunday, the Americans retained their mastery over the Russians in the 200 meters which Paul Drayton captured in 20.8 and the 400 meter hurdles which Willie Atterberry clocked a 50.3. Ai Oerter's throw of 200 feet one inch gained him first place in the discus while Russia's Vladimir Trusenev had to settle for third spot behind Rink Babka. Babka had a 193-10 1-2 effort to Trusenev's 189-9. Two Double Winners Tamara Press and Pyotr Bolot- Cards, Redlegs Win In IH LL The Cardinals, scoring in every inning, vaulted to a 17-0 lead in three innings and slammed a 2210 loss on the Braves in the second game in the Trap Hill Little League Sunday.

Bolotnikov followed his Saturday 10,000 meters triumph by taking the 5,000 in 13:55.6.

Vvilma Rudolph won the women's 100 meters handily as usual in :il.5 and then anchored the winning women's 400 meter relay. Her teammate, Vivian Brown, scored a mild upset in taking the 200 meters in 23.7. Russia also prevailed in the womens 80 meter hurdles and 800 meters with Irina Press, Tamara's kid sister, and Lyudmila Lysenko handily winning e'ach event. But Leah Bennett of Honolulu came out with an American record in the 800, although she finished third. Her time was 2:10.4 to Mrs.

Lysenko's 2:08.6. The decathlon title also went to Russia, with Vasili Kusmetsox collecting 7,830 points. He was far ahead of America's Paul Herman who took second with 7,653.
