Belle Union #1: No. 1

Playing with only a nineman roster because of illness and injuries, Belle Union’s #1 8-9-10 year old baseball

squad won the eleven-team Happy Valley League Championship, Sunday at Amo. Belle Union squeaked past

Amo #2, 12-10 in the championship game, after bombing Stilesville, 13-5 to get into the final contest.

Bengals ‘Growl’ At N.F.L. Strike

David Kefier and Brad Dorsett combined on the mound for Belle Union in the championshiprgame. Base-stealif*, key hits, and walks helped the team to the win; as Dfvid Keller and Andy Frye collected two singles apiece. B«ad Dorsett and Spencer Neal both singled. In the St^esville game,

Destry Richardson and Andy Bright homered for Belle Union; Andy Frye tripled. Participants in the tourney were teams from: Belleville, Clayton, Hazelwood-two teams, Coatesville, Stilesville, New Winchester, Amo2 teams, and Belle Union-2 teams.

By The Associated Press Twelve Cincinnati veterans reported to the Bengals' training camp Sunday while Philadelphia veterans, practicing the unity their coach has preached, refused to cross the picket line but planned to establish their own camp this week. “We didn’t really expect any of them to report," said a Bengals spokesman after the dozen vets and 15 rookies arrived in camp at Wilmington, Ohio, as a strike by the National Football League Players Association went into its third week Among the veterans reporting were tight end Bob Trumpy, quarterback Greg Cook and place kicker Horst Muhlmann “We've been preaching unity for 15 or 16 months," Philadelphia Coach Mike McCormack said as no Eagle veteran reported at Widener College in Chester, Pa. “I want to see them come in as a team."

“We’ve got to get started, our number one goal is to get to the playoffs and Super Bowl," said backup quarterback John Reaves after kicker Tom Dempsey, the Eagles’ player representative, said the veterans would begin training on their own Wednesday. Reaves said starting quarterback Roman Gabriel, not a member of the NFLPA, would be in charge of the offense at the unofficial camp. Eagle pickets, after several hours on the line, went to a swimming party at the home of running back Lee Bougess. New York Giant veterans stayed away from the club's camp at Fairfield University, Conn., except for defensive back Honor Jackson. A club spokesman reported that Jackson said he didn't agree with a lot of the NFLPA’s demands and he needed to be in camp because he wanted to play football.

Veterans were on picket duty as Detroit Lion rookies were to gather at Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins were originally scheduled to start training Sunday, but Coach Don Shula moved the reporting day back to next Wednesday.

Soviets EndjU.S. Hopes For Amateur

Oilers Jailed HUNTSVILLE Tex. (AP)— been on stnke."

SAN JUAN, P R. (AP>-The Soviet Union defeated the United Sutes, 105-94, Sunday to win the World Amateur Basketball Championship. The victory put the tournament in a three-way tie in the standings with defending champion Yugoslavia, the United States and the USSR each having six victories against one defeat. The championship was decided on the goal average among the three in games with each other.

t. Yugoslavia ttok second place and the United States took third place. Accurate foul shooting, including a l4-fo?-14 effort by Alexander Salnikov, sparked the Soviets to victory. Salnikov fiftished with 38 points for the game which saw the Soviets tie it 55-55 at halftime despite being outscored by seven field goaft. The Soviets outscored the United States by five field goals in the second half. Three of the Americans’

main cogs underneath the baskets fouled out in the second half, seven-foot Richard Kelley. 6-11 Joe Meriweather and 6-8 Tom Boswell. The United States trailed only 83-80 when Luther Burden made two foul shots with 7:42 left to play, but the Soviets scored the next two baskets to go ahead by four points. The United States never got closer than five points after that, as the makeshift U.S. lineup couldn't handle the taller Soviet*.

After a pair of 1-13 seasons, many Houston Oiler fans are ready to go over the wall. But Oiler rookies have already played for another captive audience — 1,500 prison inmates When Houston moved its National Football League preseason training camp here this year, Oiler management offered to hold a scrimmage for the benefit of the inmates at the Huntsville State Prison. Oiler Coach Sid Gillman sent his rookies and free agents through a l^-hour drill Saturday. The 1,500 inmates from throughout the Texas state prison system sat politely, clad in

all-white uniforms. No one left at halftime

“I hate to admit it but I’m a Dallas Cowboy fan," said one of the inmates, Elmer McGee, after watching the scrimmage in humid 92 degree heat. “I expected more than we saw. I think it would have been better if the regular players hadn't

Prison guards marched the inmates single file into a specially fenced off area of the 25,000-seat rodeo arena. They were bused in from related prison units as far away as 120 miles to watch the show. The scrimmage was scheduled for 3 p.m. but many of the units had their inmates in the stands by I p.m. During the scrimmage, they sat politely, clapping after a good reception. The applause was heaviest after Billy Johnson caught a pass and scored the only touchdown of the scrimmage. There was a moment of obvious discontent among the inmates prior to the actual scrimmage when the Oilers ran a couple of dummy plays with no hitting. The inmates thought that was the whole show and let their feelings known. "I thought we were going to have a riot," one official said.

Player Aims For Top

LYTHAM ST. A INE'S, England (AP)-Gary Player says it loud enough and often enough for all the world to hear, but the words seem aimed at Jack Nicklaus. - “I am determined to be the best golfer in the world," the little South African said after beating off a Nicklaus threat and winning his third British Open crown over the Royal Lytham and St. Anne's course. “I now have eight major championships," he added. “I’m gaining on Jack." On the record. Player and Nicklaus undoubtedly are the two best players now plying their lucrative trade. The closest of friends off the course — Jack has named one of his sons Gary — they are the keenest of rivals once a golf club is thrust

Mario Wins Title At ‘Glen’

WATKINS GLEN N Y. (APy--Diminutive Mario Andretti scored a wire-to-wire victory in a 100-mile Formula 5000 road race Sunday, his first major truimph in the United Sutes in three years. The lulian-bom resident of Nazareth, Pa , Andretti, winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 1969 and a three-time U.S. driving champ, made it look easy as he overwhelmed a field of 25 starters that included Britons Brian Redman and David Hobbs, both winners of previous Formula 5000 races. Two other races were scheduled Sunday, part of a “Five Sur" weekend of road course events at Watkins Glen In the Formula 5000 event. Andretti bolted from his front row surting position, beat the experienced Redman into the first corner and in the next few laps built up a comfortable margin of 20 seconds over the field By that time, everybody else was running for second place, but Andretti continued to pour it on. On the 21st lap. he set a Formula 5000 speed record for a single circuit. 119 89 miles per hour H o b b s—who had surted fourth behind Redman. Andretti and Eppie Wietzes, all in Lola T332 machines—dropped out with a smoking engine after 10 laps In the end, it was Andretti by 50 seconds over Redman. Wietzes. Graham McRae and Sam Posey, who came home in that order. All were in Lola T332 machines except for Posey. who drove a Talon MK 1 Chevrolet. Andretti, whose only victories since 1970 have come on road courses, covered the 30 laps of the 3.37-mile Glen Grand Prix circuit in 51 minutes. 16 seconds for an average speed of 118.56 m.p.h. Andretti, saddled with mostly experimenul equipment the last three years, finally appeared to have a car that would sund up under his aggressive driving style. He appeared to have had a similar tough entry Saturday when he drove an Alfa Romeo prototype in the annual Glen six-hour endurance race. He

started third in that one and was holding his own until trouble struck halfway through the race. His car stalled on the course, and race officials said he received aid from a mechanic to get it surted again—in violation of the rules Though he fi-

nally brought the machine home fifth, the car later was disqualified. Two Frenchmen, Jean-Pierre Jarier and Jean-Pierre Beltoise, won the endurance classic in a Matra, practically assuring the French of their second straight world Championship of Makes crown.

in their hands. Nicklaus currently has the upper hand. H^has won 14 major titles. This is a record that overtook the 13 major crowns won by the late Bobby Jones in the seven years between 1923 and 1930. Nicklaus also has a threeyear edge in age — he is 34 years old to Player’s 37 — but Gary hopes to make up the difference in dedication. “Age means nothing," Player insists. “It is dedication that counts. Look at Sam Snead. He can still win tournaments at the age of 62, If h man puts his mind and heaft to it, he can carry on for years." Player this year has been a man who pnktices what he preaches. He won his second Masters. He came clos4 to winning the U.S. Open. Now he has captured his thilfl British Open, adding to titles won in 1959 at Muirfield and 1968 at Carnoustie. The 5-foot-8,150-pound South

African has a physical fitness fetish. He works on his game as hard as did Ben Hogan, he bums with a zeal to be the best. Nicklaus is a player of great natural talent. He should be favored every time he tees up the ball. He hits the ball consistently farther, plays his irons straighter and thinks his way around a course better probably than any man who ever played the game. Yet Jack, by his own admission, refuses to let himself become obsessed with the game. He is devoted to his family and refuses to pour attention to practice and play at their expense. Also, he is deeply involved in many business ventures, one of them golf architecture. So the question becomes: How much longer will Nicklaus drive himself in pursuit of major championships? Is he willing, for instance, to sacrifice as much as Player, or more?
