i 1U lulll 10 1 i i JL aw BY HOWARD IRICKSQN Free Prej Sporti Writer The blackout is off. And that can only mean good news to Detroit-area golf fans who won't he at Oakland Hills in person during the PGA Championships Aug. 3-6. Oakland Hills officials Monday lifted the 75-mile wide television blackout which was to ban show ing of the final two rounds of the PGA Championship around the Detroit metropolitan area. But now, ABC's local affiliate, Channel 7, will be allowed to carry coverage of the closing 36 holes, Aug.

5-6. "We agreed that the blackout should be lilted because of a unique set of circumstances," said a statement issued by the club. "THE TREMENDOUS response of golf fans in the Michigan area, plus the possibility that defending PGA champion Jack Nlcklaus may be making his bid at Oakland Hills for the first grand slam in professional golf prompted the lifting of the blackout," that statement added. Tickets are still available for practice rounds during the three days proceeding the championship and all tournament rounds except Sunday's finals when spectators are expected to jam the course. The PGA Championship has taken on great interest since Nicklaus won the U.S.

Open title last month to go with his earlier victory in the Masters. ABC plans to televise two hours of the third round of the PGA and three hours of the finals.

"I just don't want to put a time limit on them. This is my fourth year and we're not contenders yet." BUT HE declined to say whether it would be his last.

Ted Williams has been in and around baseball for 40 years, a Hall-of-Famer, the last man to hit .400 in the majors. It is strange to think that he would be awed by the game, but there he was mumbling on the bench: "Imagine, the lowest-rated team in the league, beating the champs four straight. It OAKLAND (UPI) Oakland lefthander Vida Blue will miss his scheduled start against Boston Wednesday because of a twisted knee, the A's reported Monday night. Blue was hurt last Friday when he suffered the worst defeat in his major league career against Milwaukee. The A's physician said Blue was still suffering from a muscle strain.

We didn't have (Joe) Lovitto, (Ted) Ford, (Lennie Randle, or (Dave) Nelson.

"This is a new club, inexperienced. They do have the talent and should get better as the season goes on. In fact, in the first month and a half we hit .200 but in the second half we're hitting "We've been overmatched all the time with experience," he said. "We've been in pretty near all the games, but that's as things improve, as they have got 50 or 60 more games under their belts." Gene Lilllcr LA JOLLA, Calif. (AP) -Gene Littler said Monday after playing his first 18 holes of golf since a bout with cancer that he plans to complete in two 18-hole tournaments this month.

The former U.S. Open champion said he will play next Monday at Amana, Iowa, and the following Monday in a one-day event at Lancaster, Pa. "I can't go hack to the tour yet," Littler said, referring to the pro circuit, arm isn't strong enough. I played my first 18 holes in four months yesterday at La Jolla County Club and shot a 79.

And the three after that in fact he only allowed a solitary single before Jim Shellen-back took his place on the firing line in the sixth. BUT ASIDE from another li by Cash off Jim Panther in the eighth making second in the league behind Chicago's Dick Allen the Tigers were done for the night. The Rangers who collected 10 hits of their own despite their shell-shocked status unloaded a little, too, in the seventh against Coleman. Toby Harrah's double and Don Mincher's shot into upper rightfield was worth two quick Tuns and one out later when catcher Hal King parked one in Mickey Mantle territory those empty green seats in straightaway centerficld. When Mincher walked and Dick Billings singled to begin the ninth, John Hiller replaced Coleman one the hill.

An the Tiger lefthander continued his comeback by getting three Rangers out in a row. COLEMAN FOUND himself pitching a stretch in every inning but the eighth as Texas consistently failed to hit the ball when it would have counted and if that sounds familiar, you must be from Detroit. Monday's win left Joe three behind Mickey l.olich as the top. two Tiger pitchers have now provided more than half the teams victories. TAGGING THE TIGERS Ihe Tigers lead the league in pulled hamstrings at least on the left side.

The 48-year-old Owens, who riianaged for five years in the minors and was The Phils' late arrivals, making no attempt to score.

The fierce wind Monday suited Nicklaus. "I hope this great course keeps playing hard," he said. 1 Nicklaus was relaxed and confident in practice. He shot at two-undcr-par 69 in one informal round. His apparent lack of tension came through when he was asked who would win if he didn't, "I haven 't enough thought about that," said Jack.

NICKLAUS shrugged off a report that his back was giv-ing him trouble. Bob Charles, the New Zealand lefthander who won the British title in 1963, asked Nicklaus: "How's your back? Can you still play this game?" Jack grinned and replied: "I'm okay." Nicklaus' bid for the Grand Slam is one of the reasons why up to 100,000 fans are xpected to swarm over Muirfield's treeless course during the 72-hole championship. He already has won the U.S. Masters and Open titles. The third leg is the British Open.

The other is the PGA championship at Birmingham, next month. WHITEWALLS! BLACKBALLS! ALL-WEATHER?
