a 1 24 THE KANSAS CITY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL CHENEY KEEPS A'S DOWN Kansas City Grabs Opener, 12-10, But Washington Ace Applies Stopper, 6-0, and Keeps Athletics in Third Place. VICTORY MOST OF NIGHT Wild 13-Inning Game Lasts 4 Hours, 15 Minutes- -Nightcap Never in Doubt. By Joe McGuff. (Associate Sports Editor of The Washington The Athletics might have slipped back into first place last night if they hadn't run into Washington's Tom Cheney, who is currently pitching as if he intends to become the first man in history to go through a son without giving up an earned run. The A's scrambled to a 12-10 victory over the Senators in a 13-inning game that opened their twi-night double-header.

Cheney pitched a 3-hitter in the nightcap as the Senators dumped the A's, 6-0. The Athletics had defeated the Senators 14 straight times coming into the nightcap. The Senators' last victory over the A's was on Memorial day of last season. The A's could have taken over first place by winning the nightcap but instead they remained in third place. The A's are tied in games won and with the league-leading Chicago White Sox and the second-place Baltimore Orioles but trail in percentage points.

It's Quickly Decided. The A's were never in contention against Cheney after Don Lock clubbed a 3-run homer against Ted Bowsfield in the first inning. Cheney, who has not given up an earned run in 27 innings this season, struck out 12 in posting his third straight victory. The opening game was one of the wildest and, most weird of season. consumed 4 hours, and 15 minutes with 37 players taking part.

The two teams used 10 pitchers; they gave up 28 hits, walks, eight errors and balk. The Athletics had 15 hits, with Wayne Causey and Ed Charles slamming four apiece. Chuck Essegian and Bob Del Greco hit home runs for the A's. Ed Brinkman and Jim King homered for the Senators. The Senators held an 8-3 lead at one point in the game but the A's rallied and finally went ahead, 10-9, in the ninth on a 3-run pinch homer by Del Greco.

Alusic Breaks It Up. The Senators tied the score in the last of the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Jim Piersall, but the A's won in the 13th on a 2-run single by George Alusik. The pitching and defensive play on both sides was SO wretched that the game had virtually nothing to recommend it, other than the fact that the A's won. Diego Segui, a 17-game winner in Venezuela last winter, started for the Athletics a and was ineffective for the fourth straight time. He gave up five runs and six hits in three innings.

Norm Bass followed and was even worse. He went four innings in which he gave up four runs, five hits and five bases on balls. On two occasions the Senators loaded the bases on Bass but failed to stir any activity in the A's bullpen. Pete Lovrich, a rookie making his first major league appearance, retired the Senators in order in the eighth. Bill Fisher finished and gained his third victory without a loss.

Cimoli singled home a run for the A's in eighth and Del Greco gave the A's a 10-9 lead with his 3-run pinch homer in the ninth. The Senators tied the score against Fischer on pinch singles by Dick Phillips and Don Leppert and a sacrifice fly by Piersall. Charles opened the 10th with a single, but there was not another hit by either side until the 13th. Again Charles singled. Norm Siebern bounced to Lou Klimchock at second, but Charles was safe when Marv Breeding dropped Klimchock's The A's Box Score.

The Senators put two men on with one out in the last half of the inning, but Fischer retired the side on two pops.

Bowsfield suffered his third loss against one victory in the nightcap. He gave up a single to Piersall in the first, walked Minnie Minoso with one away and then tagged for a home run by Lock. Two More Come In. The Senators scored two more runs against Bowsfield in the sixth. Minoso and Lock singled.

Hinton sacrificed and then Leppert popped up. Breeding singled to center, and both runs came home. Lovrich yielded the final run in the eighth. Lock and Hinton singled, with Lock going to third. Lock scored on a balk.

The Athletics didn't get their first hit against Cheney until the sixth when Bowsfield doubled over Lock's head in right field. Essegian slammed a pinch double in the eighth for the second hit. The final hit came in the ninth on a ground ball by Tartabull that took a high hop in front of Brinkman at short. Cheney gave up one walk and faced only 32 batters. He has 26 strikeouts to date.

Pfister Gets Start. Washington Dan Pfister is scheduled to make his first start of the season today when the Athletics meet the Senators in the third game of the series. Ron Kline will be the Washington starter. Art Quirk, who was scheduled to start the nightcap against the A's last night, was unable to pitch because of a virus infection. Ed Charles's hitting streak was broken at eight games in the Gino Cimoli also had streak broken in the nightcap.

Tough Loss for Ex-Tiger As Cuba Defeats U.S. Roger Swanson. (A Member of The Star's Sports Staff.) AO PAULO, BRAZILA young man from Springfield, pitched a strong game yesterday in an attempt to defeat Cuba in the Pan American Games.

But for handsome, 23-year-old Robert Jenkins, it turned out to be a gloomy day. Cuba triumphed, 3 to 1, and Jenkins was close to tears. "The score should have been the other way," the former University of Missouri baseball star, said. "We wanted this game more than any other we've played." Indeed, the Americans were attempting Cuba to in avenge an a 13 opening to 1 round game. Since that dismal showing, they won all games here.

Although baseball still is something of a stranger to Brazil, a crowd of 8,000, largest in Brazil's history, packed the stands for the contest. The ramshackle stadium on the outskirts of this huge metropolis was jammed again. The Cuban team, appropriately, wore uniforms trimmed in bright red. The afternoon proved a good example that virture does not always triumph. For, if anyone should have triumphed it should have been brown-eyed, stalwart young Jenkins.

From the fourth to the eighth inning he didn't give up a hit and retired 1 14 in a row. He even singled to help the American cause. Even the crowd was with Jenkins. While a small contingent of Cuban supporters began to chant "Cuba, Cuba, American supporters drowned them out with S. U.

S. When the last American batter went out in the 9th, Jenkins could only sit dejectedly on the dugout bench. There was no ers. The letters, S. conversation among, the playA." stood out on uniforms but there was no cheering.

Jenkins, who played under Coach Hi Simmons at Missouri before graduation last year, wiped perspiration from his face. "We tried everything we could. They just had little more," he said. Patton Goes On To Golf Finals With Bob Allen Pinehurst, N. C.

Adv. Barnhart Breaks GOLF PROS EYE MEET BOYCOTT Snub to Don January by Colonial Officials Irks His Fellow Players. DOUG FORD SPEAKS UP P. G. A.

Should Bar Any Golfer Who Participates in Fort Worth, He Says. San Antonio, Tex. (AP)About 30 professionals considered a proposal last night that they pull out of the Colonial Invitational golf tournament because the tournament did not invite Don January. January reportedly was not on the Colonial list because the tournament officials did not like his comments while he was chairman of the Players committee last year. Doug Ford, one of the pros playing in the Texas Open here who has been invited to compete in Fort Worth next week, said he thinks the players should withdraw from the Colonial.

The pros would boycott Colonial if they are men, he said, and added that the Professional Golfers association should bar for life any golfer who goes to the Colonial. The Colonial tournament committee, in a telegram to P. G. A. officials, said January will not be invited.

This, the wire said, closes the matter as far as the tournament committee is concerned. In Fort Worth, a Colonial spokesman said: "Our attitude is that despite any withdrawals, there will still be a tournament, and there will be just that much more prize money for those who come. We're going to play the He said, "It is safe to say that several P. G. A.

players have privately applauded Colonial for its action and encouraged us to stand firm with the decision." He would not name the players. Jim Gaquin, the P. G. tournament manager, told P. G.

A. officials conducting the open that the Colonial has the right to invite anyone it pleases. And, he said, as far as the P. G. A.

is concerned the tournament will be held as scheduled. Tempers Boil As Six Lead Texas Open San Antonio, Tex. (AP) Bruce Crampton of Australia blew up with a double bogey on No. 12 and a fat 8 on the 17th yesterday and fell back into a 6-way tie for first place after the end of a temper-flaring second round of $30,000 Texas Open golf tournament. With 36-hole totals of 136 were Crampton (who started the day 2-stroke lead but slipped to a 1-over-par 72), Tommy Aaron, Bob Charles, Frank Don January and Jack Crampton was angry over a ruling that forced him to shoot with a television wire in front of him on the 4-par 17th.

But the score is in the books. Bobby Jenkins from Springfield knew he was playing in politics as well as baseball.

He tried his best. And although his sharp 6-hit performance failed to win the ball game, he won the crowd. After the game was over, a Cuban broadcaster began to shout "Yankee, go home. Yankee go home." But a group of Brazilians nearby quickly retorted "No, Cubans, go home." In his defeat, Jenkins won friendship and admiration. And that, after all, is what the Pan American Games are all about.
