(AP) Favorite Arnold Palmer, Julius Boros and young Jacky Cupit fought their way through gale-force winds and a weird maze of bungled opportunities yesterday and tied for the 63rd National Open golf championship with 293, the highest first-place score in 23 years. The three will play it off over 18 holes today for the title. In one of the most dramatic finishes in the long history of this blue ribbon event, Cupit sent a 15-foot birdie putt spinning past the cup on the final hole. It cut the corner and stopped six inches away. If it had fallen, the little Texan would have been the champion.

It Starts at Noon. Instead, he, Palmer and Boros the latter a 43-year-old former champion who could be the oldest ever to hold the title-meet in the 18-hole play-off today beginning at noon (Kansas City time). The final holes of the play-off will be televised on channel 4, starting at 2:30 oclock. It is the second straight open play-off for Palmer, beaten by Jack Nicklaus at Oakmont. a year ago.

Nicklaus, his game gone sour, failed to make the 36-hole cutoff this year. This is the first 3-man playoff for the championship since Ben Hogan, George Fazio and Lloyd Mangrum came head-to-head at Merion, in 1950. Hogan, his legs shattered in a motor car accident the year before, won the second of his four crowns. The final two rounds yesterday-played in gusty 40 mile-an-hour winds over the knobby old course at the country club where Francis Ouimet won the venter and Jacky Cupit.

BALK TIES UP ROOKIE Nick Willhite Commits Two With Second Knotting the Count at 1-All. St. Louis (AP) St. Louis maintained its slim National league lead on Charlie James's sixth-inning home run as the Cardinals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday, 2-1. The San Francisco Giants, in second place, beat Milwaukee, 3-0, to remain a half-game out.

Los Angeles, in third, dropped to 2lz games behind the Car dinals. Bob Gibson, credited with his fifth straight victory, needed help from Bobby Shantz in the seventh and Ron Taylor in the ninth. Gibson, now 6-3, allowed seven hits and struck out five. Tommy Davis lined his eighth homer to left in the second, putting Los Angeles ahead, 1-0. But rookie Nick Willhite's second balk forced in the tying run in the fifth, after the Cards got men on second and third with Julian Javiers single, an error and a sacrifice.

James hit his towering home run to left with none on. It was his sixth of the year. With one out, the Dodgers got a man on in the ninth when pinch hitter Doug Camilli singled to right. But Taylor struck out Lee Walls and got Don Zimmer, batting for reliever Ron Perranoski, on a grounder. Willhite, making his second major league start since the Dodgers recently brought him up from Seattle, allowed only four hits and struck out eight.

officials later said the finish was so close they would have to study the photos. That didn't help either, and several hours after the meet ended the race was declared a tie. There also was some hope that the time might be submitted for a world record, since part of the race was run into the 8-mile an hour wind, but it was later decided that it could not be. The 220 shared the closing day spotlight with a blazing mile run, won by Dyrol Burleson. The former University of Oregon star smashed the meet record with a 3:56.7 as a quartet of milers broke the 4-minute barrier.

PENA TOUGH FOR SEVEN It's Same Old Problem, How ever, es Kansas City Still Slumps at Bat. By Ernest Mehl.

(Tha Star's Sports Editor.) Again the noise from the fans was louder than that from the bats of the As, who maintained an offense so. quiet you could have heard a run drop. And only two did as the Detroit Tigers eked out the second victory of the series by a 3-2 score. One of these two tallies walked home in the second when a base on balls was issued with the bases filled, the second marker in the sixth was generated by Wayne Causeys double but registered on a not-too-long sacrifice fly. Against this impotency which produced a net total of four hits, the Tigers appeared positively virulent with their 11 safeties, including the seventh home run of the year over the left field fence by Gus Tirandos in the fifth.

Most Happy Fella. If the Tigers, w'ho limped in here after losing everything but their uniforms, were delighted even more so was Phil Regan, the 6-feet-3 right-hander, who worked eight innings before yielding to a pinch-hitter in the ninth. Phil hadn't chalked up a credit on his record since May 10 and was on the verge of conceding that he might go through the remainder of the season without one until he made this contact with the A's. Jim Bunning pitched the last of the ninth to preserve the victory for Regan and aroused some mild hope when he walked Jerry Lumpe with one out. But nothing came of that and the game ended in three minutes less than two hours with Causey being thrown out at first.

Just how' this winning run was scored by the Tigers in their half of the ninth to force on the As their fifth 1-run loss in their last nine starts, seemed to have an ironic leer at the ineptitudes of the locals. Phillips Starts It. Bill Fischer, going to the mound after Manny Jimenez had batted for Orlando Pena in the seventh, escaped the eighth but was solved by Bubba Phillips for an off-field single to open the last round of this painful affair. Triandos then sacrificed and that brought up a newcomer to the Detroit roster in Gates Brown. His effort, as handsome as though it had sizzled, was a rather lazy bouncer past the mound, beyond the out-stretched glove of Causey into center field.

Around third sped Phillips, but there was Bobby Del Greco picking the ball off the grass and making his throw and the crowd remembered how in the sixth Rocky Colavito tried to score from second on a single by Bill Bruton only to be expunged at home by one of Del Grecos throws. But this time the peg was a wee bit off and the run scored. Jake Wood then hit to Causey and Brown was tagged at third and Lumpe, after failing to come up with Dick McAuliffes tricky bounder, recovered in time to throw out Wood at the plate. But the one run was enough to cast a glaring light on the current demise of the As attack. Pena pitched well enough to win and Regan, who struck out eight, was unsolvable most of the time.

Walk Helps As. The As flushed a lead in the second in an unusual manner. Chuck Essegian drew a walk and stopped at second when Ed- iContinued on Page 2B i Sullivan, a at St. George high in Chicago. It was set in the Compton, invitational.

It is not an interscholastic meet, however. Bob Timmons, Wichita East track coach, expects Ryun to chalk up the following times by the state meet next year: 49 seconds in the quarter, 1:51 in the half, 4:04 in the mile and 9 minutes in the 2-mile.

Doug Vaillant and Luis Molina Will Try Next Month. San Jose (AP) Doug Vaillant of Miami, said yesterday doctors had ordered him to seek a postponement of his Tuesday night fight with Luis Molina of San Jose.

Promoter Abe Acquistapace said the lightweight 10-rounder would be held July 9. The bout originally was scheduled for June 4. Vaillant came down with a virus infection and has had trouble shaking it, his handlers said. THINKS SO But the Strong Boy La-trobe. stormed back to get a par on the 18th hole for a final-round 74 after skying to a 77 in the morning, without a single birdie.

Cupit, with the championship almost in his pocket, took a double bogey 6 at the 71st hole, opening the door for the 3-way tie. On this 365-yard hole, a scene of high drama, the gritty Texan drove onto the side of a bunker, hit his second short and pitched into the wire-like rough at the back of the green. He putted from the fringe, ran six feet past and missed coming back. He wound up with final rounds of 76-75. after taking the lead at the 54-hole mark, and then played the final hole like a champion never once wavering.

Boros, the slow-swinging, phlegmatic North Carolinian, 43 years old, lost three strokes to par early on the back nine but rallied with birdies at the 70th and 71st and a par at the 72nd. He had final rounds of 76-72. The 293 score is the highest to win a U. S. Open since dark horse Sam Parks won at Oakmont with 299 in 1935.

Since then four Opens have been won with scores of 287. Even Ouimet would have finished in the money. Playing with wood clubs a half century ago. he scored 304, when he tied Britons Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in 1913, and then beat them in a similar 3-way play-off. Thp weather was so atrocious to the hazards of the tough par 35-36 71 course that scores skyrocketed and the tournament evolved into not who would win it but who would lose it.

The worst conditions I ever iContinued on Page 3B.) Boston (AP) New York took a day-night double-header from Boston yesterday. Elston Howards 13th home run deciding the night game, 3-2, after Whitey Ford won his 10th of the season in the afternoon, 6-5. Relief pitchers Bill Kunk-f el, Marshall Bridges and Hal Reniff were instrumental in the sweep, which moved the first-place Yankees one and a half games in front of Chicago in the American league race. Kunkel, who took over for starter Rill Stafford in the fourth inning of the second game after Stafford injured his groin in a slide into third base, stopped Boston effectively, though Bridges came on for the final out. Reniff allowed only two singles in the three innings he pitched in the day game.

New York helped its cause considerably by executing six double plays in the two games. Joe Pepitone and Johnny Blanchard homered for the Yanks in the opener. New York had a 3-ft lead before the Red Sox got two runs in the sixth'inning of the nightcap on a double, two singles and a fielders choice. Boston loaded the bases with none out in the last of the ninth, but Tony Kubek turned Chuck Schillings line drive into a double play and Bridges fanned Gary Geiger. Infielder Bobby Richardson and center fielder Tom Tresh supplied Ford with healthy assists in the afternoon game.

BEATTY IN TORONTO MEET. Toronto (AP) Jim Beatty Los Angeles, one of the top distance runners in the world and a 3:55.5 miler, will compete in Torontos June 25 international track and field meet, was announced last night. Coach Timmons Criticizes Track Restrictions. The Kansas High School Activities association has again been criticized for its tight rulings. This time it was Bob Timmons, Wichita East track coach, commenting with mild displeasure about the restrictions on distance runners.

In the state meets a miler cant double up with a half or a Timmons remarked. In 39 other states they can. It is an injustice in this age, especially when the youngsters do so much in practice. Lots of times they run 20 quarters in an afternoon, but in the meets they arent allowed to run. I doubt if, population-wise, any state in the United States is better as far as distance running is concerned.

Weve had some great ones. And the sprinters are allowed to run. For instance in the state class a boy could run preliminaries, semifinals and finals in both the 100 and 220, as well as mile and medley relay legs, all in the same day. Thats eight races. I think it is a shame the distance runnels are held back.

AT LEAST HIS COACH Wichita (A By Jay Workman (A Member of The Star's Sports Staff.) IM RYUN, 16-year-old Wichita paper boy who has run the second-fastest mile in or out of the high school record books, is aiming at the 4-minute mark, and the odds are he will hit it before he is graduated. After peeling off a 4:07.8 in the U. S. Track and Field federation meet in Houston June 8, he passed up the National A. A.

The all-time best is 4:03.5 by Tom then senior Romani, was in school here, I was sure a high school boy would do it, but didnt know who or when. I think the mile is Jims race. Last September he was clocked for the first time in the mile, chopping to a 5:39.1.

By May, he was dowii to a winning 4:16.2 in the state finals. He followed with a sensational 4:08.2 in the Missouri Valley A. A. U. meet at Shawrnee-Mission field.

Then two weeks ago in the national federation affair came his 4:07.8. His best times came while running unattached, and because they were not in high school meets did not count as San Romani did 4:03.9 at Compton his senior year, and held the unofficial national mark until Sullivan cracked it in 1961. Ryun is following a strict training schedule this summer. Each day he gets up at 5 oclock to deliver a Wichita newspaper, then works out. Later in the morning, he attends summer school.
