It NEWPORT DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, SPORTS Must Watch DE LA SALLE ACADEMY (2-1), at home to East Providence, and Rogers High (3-1), at Providence against Mt. Pleasant, will fight tonight to keep'oil the heels of the pace-setters Westerly's Bulldogs in the Suburban Division and Hope in the Metropolitan Division. Last season East Providence's Townies rolled back the Crusaders twice by scores of 72-49 and 61-56. Past results will mean nothing tonight. Often, as in the case with De La Salle, lineups changed radically in the span of a single season.

The Townies, however, have several regulars from their 1959-60 aggregation. The hold-overs include Amos Varan, their scoring ace. So Coach Jack Allen's Academy team must pay close attention to Mr. Varan and at the same time pass and shoot well enough to score a sizeable number of points. Rogers was not very successful last winter, but two of its victories were over Mt Pleasant, 78-47, and 85-61.

This year the Kilties started nobly and were considered a pennant threat until Hope sandbagged them by a 90-plus score last THE GOLFER of the future may tour the course with only a single club and a small wrench. Rodger D. Brouwer of Bristol, the magazine New Englander reports, last month patented a club head that can be locked in various positions by turning a nut. One side acts as a driver, brassie and spoon face: another serves as the striking face for all iron positions, and a third is used for putting. The club is collapsible for easy carrying and the wrench fits in a small pocket.

This is bad news for caddies, their business already hit hard by caddy and motor carts. One consolation is that good golfers never would be satisfied with a club with only three races. It's No Surprise To Runnels That He's On Trade Block BALTIMORE (AP) The off season report that he is not as- ured of a job with the Boston Red Sox in 1961 comes as no su- prise to Ameican League batting champion Pete Runnels. "1 wouldn't feel right if it was any other way," Runnels told the Baltimore Sports Reporters Association yesterday in commenting on published "stories he is on the Red Sox trading block. "I've never been to spring yet and had a job.

I'm just going down there and lay around and see what happens."

GEORGE NEWTON enthusiast from the Community Center, requests that the next time this (column strolls down Memory Lane it might mention some of the former Sunset Baseball League batting stars from his neighborhood. When the Hot Stove League is in session, George points out, arguments are pretty warm even if time has faded memories. Iri answer to one of George's questions, Ralph Williams certainly rates as one of Cardines Field's top all-time a Ralph did not play many seasons, but he batted a terrific .402 in 1929 and lost the batting title in a photo finish to Jim Martland. Jim hit .404. Williams, a left-handed slugger, was noted for line drive hits.

Many of his drives would shoot through the i i a couple of feet from the and smack the right field fence just as Chuck Klein and Cy Williams of the Phillies once peppered the tin right field fence at old Baker Bowl. Other queries: What was Arthur "Highpocket" Greene's batting average in the League (.367) and how did the late Clarence "Clammy" Butler hit? Few hit a ball farther than "Clammy," who belted seven homers in one season, but he topped .300 only twice, .309 in 1933 for the Union A. C. and .316 for Billy Bull's Red Sox in '37.
