Jwf 1, Devlin hopes history repeats at Cleveland BROWNWOOD BULLETIN CLEVELAND (AP) Can history repeat itself? It often does, and Bruce Devlin, the onetime master plumber from Australia, hopes it will in the $150,000 Cleveland Open Golf Tournament. In 1970 Devlin shot a 66 in the third round of the Cleveland Open. In the fourth round, he burned up the course with a 64 and won the championship. Devlin shot a 66, five under par on the Tan- Klewood Country Club course, in Sunday's third round of the rain-delayed Cleveland Open. If history repeats itself, insofar as Devlin is concerned, he'll have to shoot a 64 in today's final Wholes.

A 64 in itself won't guarantee first place and the big winner's check. But it would take a 65 by the third- round co-leaders, Lanny Wadkins and Urry Hinson, to deny Devliirthechampionship Hinson, who had the lead or a share of it for the first two rounds, shot a 69 Sunday and was tied at 206 with Wadkins, who carded a 67. Cesar Sanudo was next at 67-207. Then came Devlin, who had a one-stroke lead on fellow Aussie David Graham; Wilf Homenuik, a Dutch-born Canadian national; and Brien Allin. The Monday finish was set up after rain washed out Thursday's first round.

Devlin's 65 was helped by a putter given away to good customers of a Cleveland plumbing firm. "It looks bloody awful," grinned Devlin, "but I'm hitting the center of the cups with it." Devlin represents the plumbing concern. "I just endorse their products," he said. "I was putting bad and I had changed putters twice already, and this assistant general manager said, 'We give away putters to good customers and I'll bring you one'." Homehiuk slammed a five- iron for a hofeTn-one on the 165- yard No. 3 hole.

"Don't I get a car?" he asked. "Here I am hitting a hole-in-one and no one is giving away Cadillacs."

Fischer's representatives in Iceland requested the postponement on the grounds that he was unable to play because of fatigue. But it was generally assumed that the request was part of Fischer's campaign to net more money out of the Icelanders. Fischer and Spassy have agreed to split a $25,000 purse, with the winner taking five- eights, and are also to each get 30 per cent of the sale of film and television rights. But Fisher is seefing an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts, and his representatives have been negotiating this point with sponsors of the match, the Icelandic Chess Federation. NAACP hood tolls of Domo actions DETROIT (AP) Roy Wilkins, executive director of the NAACP, says Democratic National Cavention delegate fights means President Nixon will be "handed re-election on a platter by a bunch of tumblers." "All you have to do is read headlines in the last three weeks to know there's some fast footwork going on around second base," Wilkins told a news conference Sunday night on the eve of the NAACP's annual covention.

The week-long NAACP convention will focus on the problems of employment, housing, the community, 1972 politics and education.

M( K'Y OUR 100TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR WILL BE OPEN JULY 4th Berning fo open title MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) Susie Maxwell Berning, who has competed in only seven pro tournaments this season because she says her 19-month-old daughter is more fun than golf, won her second U.S. Open Championship in five years when Pam Barnett frittered away a three-stroke lead. Mrs. Berning, a 30-year-old frosted brunette from Incline Village, started the day four strokes off the pace but surged past Pam and three other pros for a final round of 71 and the $6,000 top prize.

"This golf course is so tough," she said of the par 72 Winged Foot layout, "it can Krab you some time during the round. I just happened to be fortunate to have a few more pars and birdies than anyone else." The birdie that counted was on No. 17, the same hole that grabbed Miss BaTnett. Mrs. Berning, who had picked up three strokes on Miss Barnett on the front nine, sank a 20- foot putt for a birdie 2 to pull even.

Pam missed an eight- footer for a bogey. Pam, who hasn't won on the women's tour yet this year, appeared headed to victory Sunday when she birdied the first two holes. But they were the only two. She carded three bo- ueys on the front nine and three more coming home. She shared second place with Judy Rankin and Kathy Ahern.

Mrs. Rankin carded a 73 while Miss Ahern turned in the best round of the rain-plagued two-under-par 70. Betty Burdeindt, tied for second going into the final round, was alone at 302, Al Oerter, 4-Time Olympic Champ Has Flung His Last Serious Discus By IRA BERKOW NBA Sports Editor NEW stead of going to the Olympics where he would inevitably win another gold medal for the discus throw, Al Oerter will remain home in Long Island sprinkling water on his turnip patch. He says he probably won't even watch the discus competition on television. "You don't see the true Olympics on television, anyway," says Oerter.

"In fact, you hardly even see the true Olympics at the time of the event. It's what happens in the pits in the two weeks before the event that counts." Oerter is an undeniable expert on the subject. He performed the unique feat of winning gold medals in four successive Olympics, 1956, 1960, 1964 and 1968. Derter believes that at age 35 it would take him three day of. Uvirk ing and lunging and grunting and heaving his heavy plate to assure himself gold medal No.

5. Once it took him half that time. "It's too much to ask of a family man at my age," says Oerter. So he will spend his time now putting the vegetables on the table an organic gardening and putting bread on the table (he's data communications manager for the Grumman Corp.) for his wife and two daughters. He stays in condition by jogging 15-20 minutes a day, and adamantly says he has flung his last serious disk.

He has lost 60 pounds to prove it. He would beef up to 295 pounds for the event, but now is back to his "normal" weight, a weight which tions, as long as they weren't competing in your event. "I scarcely tried to improve another discus thrower's performance," he said. What Oerter will be missing on TV, he said, would be the "zonking" that goes on in the pits, the practice sessions for two weeks before the event. He'd walk over to a Romanian discus thrower and ask him how Poland was, said Oerter.

"Zonk. He was walking around like King Kong, now he was shrunk to size." He'd tell another in practice that he was really throwing well and to keep throwing, hoping the guy would tire himself out. Meanwhile. Oerter watched from a supine position in the grass. When another opponent bragged that he had just thrown 225 feet, Oerter with feigned comradely interest would insist on seeing him do it again.

"If he didn't," said Oerter, "it was all fui him from their AL OERTER flings his way to his fourth straight Olympic discus championship at Mexico City in 1968. allows the 6-4 Oerter to get out of a chair without a struggle. "I can stay away from the discus throw if I want to," said Oerter recently, at an Olympic fund-raising luncheon sponsored by the Red Barn Restaurants. "In fact, that's one reason I was so successful at it. Other guys would practice all the time.

I'd practice sometimes. It's kept me fresh." He says he never has had an interest in spectator sports, and the discus throw is no exception. The Olympics for Oerter was never approached as the programs state, "in the spirit of international comity to be advanced by the celebration of chivalrous and peaceful contests." Nor did he ever begin a swirl in the discus circle for the glorification of his country. "I'm as patriotic as the next guy," says Oerter, "but I wanted to win for me. It was a personal thing.

I know it was the same for the others, too." The Olympic Village was a good place to be chummy with people from other na- on." Oerter got his first such psyching lessons in his first Olympics, 1956, when, he recalls, "I was the rawest of rookies." He was practicing with Fortune Gordien, then the favorite and world record holder. Gordien followed Oerter in the throw. He gradually began to hurry his throw so that Oerter hardly had time to breathe. "He made me so nervous," recalls Oerter, "that I finally threw one backwards. It was an accident, but it whistled right past Gordien's ear and slammed into the net.

It could have taken his head off. He was shaking. He didn't hurry me any more after that." Ex-Senafor dines on Ranger pitching By ROBERT MOORE Associated Press Sports Writer KANSAS CITY (AP) The Texas Rangers found out something Sunday about Richie Scheinblum they apparently didn't realize while he was with them in guy's quite a swinger. Scheinblum, right fielder for the Kansas City Royals, belonged to the Rangers in 1971 when they were the Washington Senators. After starting only four games and pinch hitting a few times last season, Scheinb- lum was shipped to Denver in the American Association.

Scheinblum, 29, had the greatest day of his career Sunday when he pounded out six hits, including a home run and two doubles, in nine appearances in doubleheader with the Rangers. Texas won the 10- inning opener 7-5, and the Royals bounced back to win the nightcap 8-3. "I never really had a chance in the major leagues until I came to Kansas City," said Scheinblum, who leads the American League hitting parade with a hefty .341 average. "It was a great honor to play for Ted Williams (Texas manager) but I never hand a chance. "I couldn't produce the first month at Washington.

I've never produced the first month anywhere. I don't know if it's a jinx or not." Scheinblum, who was tremendous in June after a slow start, produced Sunday. His home run, coming on a little curve off Pete Broberg, 5-7, in the second inning of the second game, staked Jim Rooker, 4-5, to 1-0 lead. Scheinblum's single leading off the fifth started a three-run inning, and his run-scoring double in the sixth fueled another three-run outburst. For the day, Scheinblum, in addition to his six hits, scored four runs and drove in three.

In his own quiet way, Scheinblum felt good about his performance but said apologetically: "I struck out twice in the first name. That's the first time I've done that this season. I'm sorry about that." Royals manager Bob Lemon agreed that Scheinblum "is swinging good." Cookie Rojas, the old pro who mans second base for the Royals, also had six doubles and as many singles. He drove in five runs and scored twice. The Rangers couldn't do anything with Rooker until the Royals led 8-0.

Rampaging Redbirds join pennant race in NL East By HERSCHEL NISSENSON Associated Press Sports Writer There's a new line in the National Ijeague record book today and a new team in the East Division pennant race. San Francisco's Willie McCovey blasted a record-tying 14th career grand slam home run Sunday in the Giants' 9-3 rout of Los Angeles while the streaking St. Louis Cardinals, IS 1 games out of first place exactly one month ago, made it six victories in a row and 21 of 26 with a 7-li trouncing of Philadelphia and trail front-running Pittsburgh by a mere games. Klsewhere, Pittsburgh downed the Chicago Cubs 7-4, Montreal edged the New York Mets 4-3, Cincinnati swamped San Diego 12-2 and Houston nipped Atlanta 5-4. In the American League, Baltimore trimmed Detroit 7-2, the New York Yankees took two from Cleveland 6-1 and 5-2, Boston swept Milwaukee 15-4 and 3-2 in 11 innings, Oakland shaded California 3-1, Minnesota won its opening game from Chicago 6-4 but the White Sox took the nightcap 2-1 and Kansas City split a pair with Texas, losing 7-5 in 10 innings and then winning 8-3.

"That's pretty good com- pany," McCovey said upon learning that his 14 grand slams match the career marks of Hank Aaron and the late Gil Hodges. McCovey's blast, off Dodger ace Don Sutton in the seventh inning, was a rare oppositefield drive to left following singles by Tito Fuentes, Don McMahon and Jim Howarth. Dave Kingman followed with his 18th homer as the Giants broke the baseball game open. It was the Giants' fourth consecutive victory and the fourth loss in a row for the Dodgers, who fell seven games off the pace in the NL West. The Cardinals, whose hot month has lifted them from last place to fourth, just one game behind the Cubs, got eight-hit pitching from Reggie Cleveland and two relievers and four runs batted in from Dal Maxvill, three on a bases-loaded double.

Cleveland had a shutout until the eighth when Don Money homered for the Phils. Bob Robertson and Manny Sanguillen homered for the Pirates as they continued their mastery of the of nine this a Chicago triple play in the seventh on Sanguillen's sharp bouncer to third. Robertson, dead last among major league hitters with at least 125 at-bats, also singled home the first run and has raised his average 40 June 15 with two of his four homers and 10 of his 16 runs batted in during that stretch. The Mets fell one game behind Pittsburgh when rookie Bob Hauch, making only his second major league appearance, issued four walks in the ninth inning, the last to Ron Fairly with two out forcing in Montreal's winning run. Two singles by Fairly helped the Expos to a 3-0 lead but the Mets, blanked until the ninth by Hill Stoneman on four hits, tied it on two doubles, an error, sacrifice fly and Willie Mays' two- out pinch single.

Gary Nolan became the NL's first 11-game winner with seventh-inning help from Clay Carroll and home runs by Cesar C.eronimo, Johnny 21st-ancl Tony Perez. The Reds wrapped it up by blasting San Diego pitching for eight runs in the eighth inning. Nate Colbert homered for the Padres. Houston remained one-half game behind the Reds in the West by edging Atlanta on Tommy Helms' eighth-inning sacrifice fly.
