Scramble termed success A new event needs excitement to attract more attention the second time around. The Windy Hill Women’s Golf Association couldn’t have asked for more Tuesday in its first Pro Member Scramble. Eight pros from around Indiana, including Windy Hill pro Ken Atwell, combined with association members to make up a 40-player field. And when the smoke cleared only one shot separated three teams. ATWELL’S TEAM OF Sandy Walters, Bev Torr, Charlotte Gram and Helen Houk played the knob for a 60, winning first place over two teams that went into a playoff. Houk’s tight putting was a big contributing factor for the winners. But the battle for second place went into a playoff Bob Morrow, Lafayette Municipal Golf Course pro, led the team of Ann Glock, Dot Mason, Ruth Greve and Barb Silander to second place with a birdie on the first hole of the playoff. They finished 18 holes with a 61. Paul Clifford, Crawfordsville Municipal Golf Course pro, led the team of Margaret Corbin, Flo Morrison, Lois Smith and Cathy Walton to a 61 also over 18 holes. But they managed only a par in the playoff. IN ADDITION TO the pros already mentioned, also participating were Mike LaFrance of Fort Harrison Country Club, Ron Fueger of Battle Ground of Lafayette, Larry Headd from the Plainfield Elks golf Course, Gary Flowers from Indian Lake in Indianapolis and Terry Kendrick from the Crawfordsville Country Club. Because the golf, brunch and other activities went so well, according to Atwell, a larger field of association members and possibly pros are expected for next year’s scramble.

Wisniewski won't play out present pact

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) Leo Wisniewski says he wants to play football for the Indianapolis Colts, but not until he receives a better contract. Wisniewski, the Colts’ starting nose tackle the last two seasons, walked out of the National Football League team’s Anderson College training camp Tuesday. “I have nothing but respect for Coach (Rod) Dowhower, and I feel that if I could talk with him, he would realize that I do want to play football,” Wisniewski said

Tuesday night. But Wisniewski says he believes he deserves better compensation and wants an extension of his contract, which currently runs through the 1986 season Wisniewski’s departure caught the Colts and Dowhower, their first-year coach, by surprise. “There’s no way I could prepare for this,” he said. “It’s like going into battle for the first time. You jump off the boat and land on the beach and they start

shooting at you. You just have to do the best you can. “It’s an unusual business. There’s booby traps everywhere,” said Dowhower. “Hopefully, Leo will come to his senses. He’ll lose some money because he’s missing in action.” Colts General Manager Jim Irsay says he expects Wisniewski to honor his contractual commitments to the team. “Leo Wisniewski has a contractual agreement with the team through 1986 ”

Players angry over latest offer

NEW YORK (AP) Major league baseball owners say they’d be giving more. The players say they’d be getting less. And the Aug. 6 strike deadline is now only six days away. On Tuesday, the owners offered to increase their annual payment to the players’ pension plan from $15.5 million to $25 million but tied that amount to escalating salaries so that the contribution could actually drop to zero. “They’ve been after us all year about when we’d make a specific money proposal. We’ve done that,” said Lee MacPhail, head of the owners’ Player Relations Committee. But that proposal provoked the Players Association, rather than pacifying it. “Plain and simply, this is not a proposal, it seems to me, that is designed to do anything except provoke a reaction that the players who were in the meeting had, which is that they must be crazy,” said Don Fehr, head of the union. “It cannot do anything except substantially retard any possibility of reaching an agreement.” At issue is how much of the current sl.l billion network television package the owners will contribute to the pension plan. In the past, that figure has been about onethird. With the new TV contract, a one-third share would be about S6O million per year.

MacPhail, who during an owners’ meeting in Houston in December predicted this would be “the most troublesome” issue, has said one-third is too much. The owners say that to reach a breakeven point by 1988, player salaries can increase by no more than sl3 million per year. Their proposal says that for every $1 million over sl3 million that salaries go up each year, $1 million would be deducted from the pension contribution. The owners have predicted salaries will increase $34 million next season, which would reduce the pension payment to only $4 million. If salaries went up S3B million, the contribution would be nothing. “Theoretically, it could go to zero,” MacPhail admitted. Fehr was more direct. “You get four times as much in network TV money and your pension contribution goes down, ” he said, shaking his head. Fehr said the proposal amounted to a salary cap, which the union has vehemently opposed, because total player benefits could not exceed S3B million for the pension plan and sl3 million for salarie increases, or a combination of the two. “It’s a salary cap, regardless of what you call it,” Fehr said. The two sides were scheduled to meet again today.

(AP) - “You don’t get the opportunity to win the Hambletonian very often," says driver Ben Webster, who will try to win the prestigious $1 million race for 3-year-old trotters for the second straight year Saturday at the Meadowlands. Last year, Webster won the race when he took the second heat and then a threehorse race-off with an outsider named Historic Freight Saturday, he will try to win the race with lak Bait, who has won four of five starts but who has not been in action since June 21 because of a quarter crack in his right front foot. Flak Bait, co-owned by Webster, is the early co-third choice at 6-1 with Piggvar in the eight-horse second division of the first heat. Piggvar is driven by Stan.ey Dancer, one of a trio of drivers who ha>e won the Hambletonian four times.
