UP). The sweet smell of money revived Art Wall Jr. from a bad case of jitters and tournament fatigue, and today they are calling the grim Pennsyl-vanian "old moneybags." Wall turned back PGA cham. plon Dow Finsterwald Monday in an 18 hole playoff for the Flint Open title, pulling in $9503 for his fourth major success of the year. The 35-ycar-old veteran from Pocono Manor won $9000 first money out of the $52,000 jackpot and collected $503 as his share of the playoff gate.

That hiked his earnings for the year to $55,280. Winner of the Masters, Pebble Beach and Azalea events before arriving in Flint "just dog-tired from too much golf," Wall fired a one-under-par 71 and defeated his 29-year-old rival by two strokes. When he teed off at Warwick Ifills in suburban Grand Blanc Monday, Wall was still battling the memory of a disastrous 72nd hole that kept him from victory in regulation time on Sunday. He had taken a double-bogey six after having the $9000 check all but in his pocket. Only a bogey-five by Finsterwald on the same hole minutes later sent the tournament into overtime.

They tied at 282, six strokes better than par over the 7280-yard layout. "I foueht with that all night- Becerra Ruled 2-1 Underdog In Title Bout Lot Angeles Wl. Youthful Jose Becerra of Mexico today was given a puncher's chance to lift the world bantamweight crown from the close-cropped head of Al-phonie Halimi of France Wednesday night. The betting remained about 21 for the 27-year-old Frenchman, who risks the title for the second time In a nationally televised 15-rounder in Memorial Sports Arena. Becerra, only 23, has scored 11 straight knockouU and a total of 20 in his 35 professional fights.

Ilia last one, against his strongest foe, ex champion Mario D'Agata of Italy, earned him the crack at Halimi. "Becerra is a better puncher than Halimi," declared Jose's manager, Pancho Rosales. "He can hit well with either hand, particularly his left." Becerra confirmed that Raul (Raton) Macias, his fellow countryman who lost in 15 rounds to Halimi here November 6, 1957, was not too Impressed with the Frenchman's punching ability. Can he knock out the champion? "I hone so, but Halimi is strong," Becerra replied through an interpreter. Becerra could note, however, that Halimi has been stopped but once in his career of 28 pro fights, and that because of eye cut in a fight with Jimmy Carsen in London in 1957.

Most observers feel that If Becerra Is to win, his best chance must come within seven rounds. Halimi, certainly against Macias, grew stronger as the bout progressed. "Without any question, we think we'll win, Rosales said. Becerra, standing by, added: "It could be either by a knockout or decision. I'm not interested how I win, just so I win." Ruth Miller Leads Women's Western Qualifiers Chicago Mi.

A mother of two children today threw a challenge to the young in years in the Women's Western Amateur golf tournament. Mrs. Ruth White Miller, 39, of Long Beach. Calif stole the qualifying medal Monday from the teenagers with a par-matching 75. It equaled the competitive course record on the 6567-yard, par 37-38 75 Exmoor Country Club course.

Mrs. Miller left her daughters, Vicki, 7, and Dedra, with her parents in Cleveland. A former assistant dean of students at Antioch College in Ohio, she once studied singing, played tennis, and took up golf seriously five years ago. She won the Southern California crown this year. Second to Mrs.

Judy Eller of Old Hickory, the 1959 National Intercollegiate and Southern Amateur champion, won the berth.

Brian Sinnott raced the SLV Yankees to their second win of the North Bav Pony Grad season last night with a three-run homer and three-hit pitching perform-awe.

This gave Ernie Banks, who has little range at shortstop, the call there on the National league side and made Harmon Killebrew the choice over the thoroughly ac- compusnea rraiuc Maizone as the Americans' third baseman. THERE WAS THE PITCHER who voted for Ken Boyer over Eddie Mathews. "How could you put Boyer aneaa oi Mathews?" he was asked by teammates. "I get Mathews out." he ex plained, "but I can't get Boyer out with a shotgun." But the All-Star game or games now is in line with the general policy of the last several years, during which the idealistic side of the game has been demolished.

Clubs that were household names were uprooted from cities where they had done well for more than 50 years. The land grab came into the picture. Base-Ball property was sold for capital gain and the game saddled with rental. The star ballplayer is no longer a hero to the fan. He's a businessman.

He no longer discusses baseball. He speaks of residual contracts and wonders how many lines in his bowling alley will be busy tonight. The fan used to imagine that he was part of the game. If the owners were smart they'd restore that illusion. Betsy Rawls Wins Ladies' Pro Crown French Lick, Ind.

VP) Betsy Rawls of Spartanburg, S. finished a wobbly round with a birdie Monday to stave off the challenge of Patty Berg of West Chicago, 111., for the Ladies Professional Golf Assn. championship.

3 Grip With Pointing Towards Right Shoulder (Editor's Note: This Is the third in a series of golf lessons. Today's topic Is the grip, part one.) Manue Dy 18 votes makes you With Wally Moon and Bill nlng one-two, you wonder what Giles Suggests Go-Slow Plan For Third League Pittsburgh W. President Warren Giles of the National League has suggested a go-slow, two-step plan for establishing a third major league in the event a third circuit is approved. Giles, here for today's All-Star game, said: "I don't believe the public will recognize any new league as a major league unless there are major league teams in it," Giles said. "One possible approach to the situation," he said, "would be to expand the two present leagues to 10-team leagues.

Then, when the new members definitely have attained major status, two teams could be dropped from each league as a nucleus for a third major league." HigginsUndecided About Future Boston (IP) Mike Higgins heads back to Dallas Wednesday for an extended vacation with his baseball future undecided. Higgins, a one-time Boston star who labored for several years as a farm hand manager, was fired last Friday as manager of the last place Red Sox. Billy Jurges took his place. His parting conference with Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey Monday ended on an amiable note. But it really didn't decide anything.

"Mr. Yawkey and I have a mutual understanding," Higgins said. "He has agreed to offer me a job in a few weeks. I have agreed to accept it providing no one has offered me a better one." SPONGE FOR BAUMANN Boston UP). Sammy White, Boston Red Sox catcher, adds a sponge inside his mitt as necessary equipment when Frank Bau-mann pitches.

"He is that fast," says White of the southpaw who received a bonus in 1952 but who has been shuttling between the majors and minors the last three years. 7-6- The mon with'o heart of stone should marry a chiseler.

Aptos White Sox Defeat Capitola The Aptos White Sox thwarted a sixth-inning rally of the Capi tola Senators to post a 6-5 Mid County Little League victory at the Capitola park yesterday. Capitola loaded the bases with one out but could not score as Pat Cronk struck out one batter and forced the final batter to ground out. In a Farm league game, the Capitola Stars defeated the Aptos Seals, 6-2. OUCH! George Bernardin held his head, as though to ease the. pain after barely missing a fairly-long putt on the 18th green in the $57,000 Glen eagles Chicago Open.

Play was over a sun-scorched course generally made to look easy -by touring professionals. OFFICES TO SERVE YOU ISO!

Then when I came out for the playoff, it was still bothering me." When did he finally put it out of his mind? "When I got to the first tee and thought about that $9000 for first place," Wall said.

This was the eighth major victory of his career. Five of them have been via the playoff route. He immediately headed home for a week's rest. No one can af ford the vacation better than Wall.

Now bring the right hand up to the shaft in such a position that the palm is squarely facing the hole with the first knuckle visible.

When swinging the player should feel as if he was using his right hand to slap a flat surface. The right hand is held over the left in such a manner that the "life line" of the right palm covers the left thumb, and in the finger of the third hand, the little finger of the right hand over the first finger of the left hand. Another this time in the right hand, is formed and it will point towards the right shoulder also. Both hands are placed snugly together so they can work harmoniously for control and power.
