Kaline and Snider made hall of fame on ability

NEW YORK (AP) - Based on today’s baseball economy, Duke Snider and A 1 Kaline, the newest members of the Hall of Fame, were bargain basement performers. The two brilliant outfielders of the 1950 s reminisced about their best salaries Wednesday after being voted into the Cooperstown, N.Y., shrine. “Mv highest salary was $46,000 and a Cadillac, when I played in Brooklyn,” said Snider. “And ! was happy to get it,” Why didn’t he make any more than that? “The Dodgers told us they didn't have that kind of money.” he said. Kaline said he made just over SIOO,OOO in each of his last three years in Detroit and at one point resisted a raise.

Rain extends tournament PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) A rare desert rain has forced the $304,500 Bob Hope Desert Golf Classic into an even more unusual situation a six-day format. A steady downpour Wednesday forced an overnight suspension of play in the first round. It was scheduled weather permitting to be completed » today. And since the lack of daylight at this time of the year and the unique set-up of this tournament make it impossible to play double rounds, the only fiveday. 90-hole tournament on the PGA tour schedule has been extended through Monday. “Due to the large number of amateurs competing and the lack of daylight, it simply isn’t possible to play two rounds in a day,” PGA Tour Deputy Commissioner Clyde Mangum said. “The courses are in such bad condition, it will take time for them to drain and for us to put them in shape to play. There just isn’t enough daylight for us to complete this round and then try to play another full round in the same day.”

Duke becomes victim of another dull Clemson win

Bv KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Well, they can’t denigrate the Clemson Tigers for an “easy” home schedule now. Criticized by some observers for playing such soft-touch home games in December as Baptist (S.C.) College, Rider and Georgia Southern, the Tigers certainly went bigtime Wednesday night in Littlejohn Coliseum with a date against Duke. And, furthermore, they beat the nation’s No.l-ranked college basketball team, 87-82 in overtime. “Just another dull win,” joked Clemson Coach Bill Foster, taking dead aim at those who had questioned his December home schedule. “One of these days, we’re gonna have to get somebody in here who can play this game.” More than 13,500 fans an arena record watched the important Atlantic Coast Con-

“I was just under SIOO,OOO and the media was pointing out how every club in the league had one guy over that figure,” he said.

ferencegame. Duke’s Bill Foster called it “one heckuva ballgame.” Added the Blue Devil coach: “I think it goes to show what we all have been saying all along there are an awful lot of good teams in the country.” Bobby Conrad made eight of Clemson’s 15 foul shots in overtime to lead the upset. The Blue Devils held the ball four minutes for one last shot in regulation play with the score tied at 66. But Chip Engelland’a 40-foot desperation shot bounced off the rim at the buzzer. The loss was the first for Duke after 12 victories. Clemson, ranked No. 18 in the county, won its 11th game in 12 this season. Missouri, the country’s 13thranked team, also suffered an upset, losing 69-66 to Kansas in a Big Eight game. Elsewhere, N 0.4 Kentucky tripped Mississippi 79-73; N 0.5 Syracuse whipped the Univer-

“The Tigers wanted to give me the difference but I had an off year ... I only batted about .280 ... and I told them I didn’t want it that way. I said I’d come back and have a better season and then they could give it to me.” There weren’t many off years for either Snider or Kaline, who won decisive election to the Hall of Fame in voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Kaline received 340 of the 385 votes cast and Snider, who missed by 13 votes a year ago, got 333 this time. Both were well beyond the 289, or 75 percent, required for election. Don Drysdale finished third with 238 votes, 51 short of election. Gil Hodges was fourth for the second straight year with 233, followed by Hoyt Wilhelm with 209. Snider said salaries never

Darnell Valentine and Tony Guy combined for 30 points and reserve Keith Douglas scored seven points down the homestretch to lead Kansas’ upset of Missouri. The Tigers led by as many as nine points in the first half before the Jayhawks rallied. Kyle Macy scored 29 points to lead Kentucky over Mississippi in a Southeastern Conference game. Ole Miss closed to within 73-71 behind the shooting of John Stroud with 2:32 left, but the Wildcats were able to put the game away with foul shots in the last minute. Tony Bruin scored 19 points and keyed a 20-0 spurt in the second half to pace Syracuse over Baltimore.

were a subject of discussion among the Dodger teams that dominated the National League in the 19505. “Nobody cared what the other guy was making,” he said. “Pee Wee (Reese) didn’t care what Jackie (Robinson) got and Jackie didn’t care what (Carl) Furillo got.” Both Kaline and Snider endorsed the high salaries that have swept baseball since the free agent revolution. “I’m not against anybody making as much as he can,” said Kaline. “But I am against taking the money and running. If you take, you should give something back, too.” Snider said if he made $1 million a year, he’d sweep the stands, wash the uniforms, manage the team and play, too. “If the owners want to give that kind of

His credentials included a .297 batting average in 22 seasons with the Tigers, 3,007 hits and 399 home runs. Signed off the sandlots of Baltimore in 1953, he never played a game in the minors and became the youngest batting champion in American league history when he won the crown with a .340 average in 1955 at the age of 21.
