I like to think he would be very hap- pv if I won the Grand That remark from the American favored to win the British Open championship this week bridged a whole era of golf. The late and much-loved Jones achieved what then was called the Grand Slam in 1930, when he won the amateur and open championships of both the United States and Britain. His feat stands as one of the supreme acts of competitive golf.

Nicklaus now faces an even more formidable challenge in an age when rivalry is more intense, when the rewards are great and when the golf explosion has brought the game into every home via television. He has won the U.S. Masters and Open. The British title has to be next, and the American PGA in August to sweep the big jewels for the modern slam crown. not llunkmg about bringing off all said Nicklaus.

Frank Lucchesi has run out of erasers in Philadelphia and I Paul Owens has just scratched the surface of his first one. Owens, already general manager of the Phillies, replaced Lucchesi as field manager on Monday and then piloted the club to a twi-night doubleheader split against Los les, losing the first game 6-4 11 innings but taking the nightcap 9-1. Owens, obviously, is a slow starter.

Unfortunately for him, so are the Phillies. Elsewhere on an abbreviated National League schedule, San Francisco overtook slumping New York 5-4 and Montreal de feated San Diego 6-3 with two Padre players winding up in the hospital. All other NL clubs had the night off.

The score was tied 3-3 in the seventh when Roger Freed singled and moved up on a sacrifice. Owens sent up pinch hitter Joe Lis who singled. Plus one for the new manager.

But Freed, no gazelle on the base- Lucchesi had admitted at his i paths, was thrown out trying to score. Owens bothered with a pinch runner. Minus one for the manager. The Phillies almost got Owens off the hook when Greg RBI single gave them the lead in the eighth but Willie Davis tied it for the Dodgers with a homer in the ninth. Two innings later, LA loaded the bases with none out and broke the tie on Wes sacrifice fly and an RBI single by Bill Buckner.

Don Money had an early three-run homer for Philadelphia. Willie Montanez took care of the nightcap, driving in five runs with a single, triple and homer. Woody Fryman tossed a six-hitter for the victory, disturbed only by Manny eighth-inning homer. The Mets dropped their fifth game in the last six, bowing to San Francisco and slipping 44 games behind idle Pittsburgh in the East Division race. Dave Rader and Willie McCovev had homers for the Giants but it took a two-run single by Chris Speier in the eighth inning to turn the game around.

Jim Fregosi, who had a two-run homer for the Mets, had singled home another run in the seventh for a 4-3 New York lead.
