20 BUCKS COUNTY COURIER and BUCKS COUNTY TIMES MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1966 Today's Sport Parade By MILTON RICIUOAN' SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Phil Rodgers has the bad wheels. He also has a carefully folded check for $20,000 in his pocke to show that it doesn't matter much. Ordinarily, an athlete with bum legs can look forward the same type of success as an opera singer with laryngitis but Rodgers' trouble didn' prevent him from winning the Buick Open at Grand Blanc or from feeling he has a good chance in the U.S. Open starting here Thursday. Rodgers is only 28 and plods along flat-footedly like some men of 50.

He doesn't know what causes his intense leg cramps -which almost made him quit the Buick Open before he started although he has an idea it has something to do with his weight. Sometimes he carries 20( pounds on his compact 5-foot-8 frame and sometimes he crash diets all the way down to 170 He's right around 190 now and admitted his dogs were barking after finishing 36 holes Grand Blanc Sunday. Win Eases Pain "They bother me, all he confessed, "but somehow you don't feel your aches and pains so much after you For years now, it has generally been agreed that the foundation of every gooc athlete is a sound pair of legs, regardless of his sport. Rodgers' a opens up new avenues of doubt. Others besides Rodgers have managed to do well despite balky underpinning.

Frankie Sinkwich's feet were flatter than an ironing board but they didn't stop him from running wild with a football for Georgia and later with the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL. Lou Boudreau had a lot of trouble with his legs and still made it, and more recently Rocky Colavito didn't allow his feet to bar his way to the major leagues. Getting back to Rodgers, though, it could be he's something of a special case because there are a lot of people around "who do not consider golfers authentic athletes and never will. This theory always brings an immediate roar of protests fjom physical culturist Gary Player. "Anyone who doesn't think a golfer is an athlete should try Slaying 72 holes in four days and sometimes 36 in one day," Player declares.

"You can't really do it unless you're in good physical condition. I have a set plan of exercises which I adhere to regularly." Mike Souchak, a former Duke toptball player who tours the go'lf circuit, agrees completely with Player although he's on the" heavy side himself and never will win any of those 30- kilometer walks. I "Golfers are as much athletes as baseball and football a Souchak insists. "Maybe they don't have the physical contact you find in but you can't play golf you're not in shape." Again, it comes back to whom, you must 'remember, has youth going for right now. He was weary, over-heated footsore after arriving here Ifrom his plane trip from 'Michigan.

He went to sleep and do you the first thing he did he got up in the morning? went out to practice for -Thursday's Open, bum legs and ran. As Rodgers said, your feet "doji't hurt so much when you 1 They only kill you when you rose. Tennis Team Offers Apology I England (UPI)--We United States women's tennis team has formally apologized to the British for a cramp suffered by America's Billie Jean Moffitt King during Saturday's Wightman cup competition. Mrs. King, midway through the final set in a 5-7, 6-2, victory, toppled to the ground in apparent pain.

The British claimed that Mrs. King's subsequent "astonishing senes of grunts, groans and stumbles" shattered the concentration of her opponent, Ann Haydon Jones, who is considered the best woman player in England. The United Stales team, after being down three matches to one, won the Wightman Cup for the 32nd time in 38 tries 4-3. Mrs. King denied she was faking.

She said she suffered a rramp that made her limp but she played as hard a.s she could despite the pain.

(Courier-Times Sports Photos by Denis Cunningham) Bauer Trades 1 Problem For Another I Koufax, Drysdale Going I 1 In Opposite Directions By The Associated Press Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, who traveled the high road a an entry a few months ago, are going in opposite directions today. Juan Marichal is keeping Koufax company on the expressway while Drysale is chasing Sam -y Ellis down a one-way side street. Marichal outpitched Drysdale Sunday as San Francisco edged Los Angeles 3-2 and pushed within four percentage points of the National League-leading Dodgers. The Giants' ace tossed a four- hitter for his llth victory of the season, tying the Dodgers' Koufax for the major league lead. Drysdale, knocked out in the sixth inning, suffered his third stragiht setback and is 4-7 for the year.

Meanwhile, Ellis, a 22-game winner for Cincinnati last season, became this year's first 10- game loser when he yielded an llth inning run that gave the New York Mets a 3-2 victory over the Reds. Drysdale and Koufax, who won 23 and 26 games, respectively, in 1965, staged a tandem holdout siege during spring training that netted them contracts totaling $245,000. Koufax, who reportedly received $130,000, is off to the best getaway of his career--with an 11-1 record and 1.40 earned run average--but Drysdale is struggling. The big right-hander has completed only three of 14 starts. His ERA is 4.36--highest on the Dodger staff--and he's been Chip Shots Cup Players Cut To 16 By JOHN RIBAR Courier-Times Sports Writer The list of players remaining in the Yardley Golf Club President's Cup play was reduced to 16 after the opening round was completed.

Following are the results of the event using full handicap differences in match play: Joe Capone over Jim Beecher, 5-4; Richie Morrison over Joe Costanzo, 3-2; Benny Bishop over Mike Klitus, 5-4, Neal Bartlett over Vince Acquiviva, 2-up; Herb Rick over John McCarthy, 3-2; Andy Doskas over George Christman by default; Ron Rusk over John Trainor, 3-2; Stan Roberts over Don Burns, 2-up. Nick Nemeth over Frank Partyka, 5-4; Lefty Ott over George Franko, 1-up; Bus Parks over Emil Karr, 5-4; Tom Fogarty over Ralph Hart, 2-1; Joe Solack over Bob Yarson, 3-2; Jim Muhlbauer over Vince Pompei, 1-up; Frank Tuffner over Chappie Carroll, 2-up; Bill McMani- mie over Jim Belt. In the recent Member-Guest tournament at Northampton Valley Golf Club a tie resulted for first place on low gross scores of 65. One team was George Birgman and guest Frank Kryven, the other was Tom Davenport and guest George Tlttelmaycr. Next was Bill Kearney and Pete Konue with 66.

The guest low individual gross was a 77 by Dick Hardwick, greenskecp- er at The Golf Ranch in Bristol, who was this writer's partner (we had the third low gross with 67). Dan Cannon's 78 was low gross for a member. Following the second of three rounds in the women's Trenton C.C. Director's Cup tournament, Mrs. Allan Young held on to her lead with a 143 total as Mrs.

John Kurtz moved into second place with 149. Second round scores (and two round totals) for the leaders: Mrs. Young 94-21--73 (143); Mrs. Kurtz 110-35--75 (149); for 11 home runs. Marichal, who also held out this spring after a 22-13 finish in 1965, signing for an estimated a few days before Kou- ax and Drysdale came to terms with the Dodgers, snapped a wo-game losing streak with his victory Sunday.

He survived two LA home runs while boostinf his current record to 11-2 and extending his ifetime hex over the Dodgers at Candlestick Park to 12-0. Ellis, who has thrown 15 home run balls this season, top in the eague, lost his fifth straight when New York's Jerry Grote broke a 2-2 deadlock with a two- out, run-scoring single in the llth. Ellis, 22-10 in 1965, is 2-10 his year. Pittsburgh outscored A a a 11-8, Philadelphia topped St. Louis 5-3 and Houston spanked Chicago 8-4 in other NL action.

Ellis walked Ed Bressoud with one out in the llth and issued an intentional pass to Ron Swoboda after a grounder moved Bressoud to second Grote then came through with the winning hit to left. The Pirates exploded for five runs in the first inning and foui more in the third, nullifying a pair of homers--including a grand slam--by Atlanta's Ed Mathews. Gene Alley touched off the first-inning burst with a domer and ignited a two-run rally in the eighth with a double. Local Schedule By United Press International Hank Bauer resolved a ersonal problem and created a igger one for the American League. The Baltimore manager traded Jerry Adair to the Chicago Sox Sunday for Eddie Fisher, a knuckleballer regard- id as one of the top relievers in baseball.

For the heavy-hitting Orioles, 'irst in the league in batting but second to Cleveland in the standings, the swap apparently shores up their greatest weakness. The lack of strong arms the bullpen was blamed for collapse in September of L964 when they went from first to third. The exchange also alleviates a conflict between Bauer and Cassaday Adair, who lost Ins job second base this spring at barren each collected two hits. to rookie Dave Johnson and asked tc be traded. The conflict flared again this week when Adair urged to be traded ''any place but Washington, Washington's too near Baltimore." No Help Needed Bauer didn't have to go to his bullpen Sunday as Steve Barber hurled a five-hitter in pitching Baltimoie to an 8-1 victory over a place Boston, i however, threw his last ball for Chicago in a losing cause, hurling a perfect ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins, who shaded the White Sox 2-1.

Elsewhere circuit, the in the Indians junior topped (Continued from Page 19,) jerst remarked, "If Ihey (Hous- organization) give him a real chance, he will make it." The Neshammy coach explained hat these youngsters don't get a chance to show their potential. Usually a boy is nervous when with a tryout group, and sn't at his best," remarked Jerst, "that seems to be the rouble with a iot of beginners organized ball. But if they five Bob a chance to overcome channel he nervousness so common to beginners, he will make it." That seems to express the eelings of Bob's teammates, channel md other players who opposed him in this area as he moved hrough Little League, a luth, high school and American Legion play.
