Stranahan Wins In Los Angeles Tourney LOS ANGELES <UP) — Muscular Frank Stranahan, who already has more money than most people have troubles, heads for the $50,000 Bing Crosby tournament at Pbbble Beach today — convinced that weight lifting is the key to jolfing successStranahan, heir to sparkplug millions in Toledo, got off on the right foot for 1958 Monday when he captured the $7,000 first prize in the $40,000 Los Angeles Open. He had a 72-hole total of 275 — nine under par for the distance. The handsome shotmaker, who had not won a tournament since capturing the SIS,(MX) Eastern Open at Baltimore in 1955, was elatedwith his victory. “I won more money in. this tournament than I did in all of 1957” he said. “I .Won something over 55.000 last year — which doesn’t pay expenses in this game.” Great as an, amateur for many years and winner of just about y very major Simon pure title except the U.S. Amateur crown. Stranahan at. 35 has been a flop as a professional. Instead of this giving him added incentive it apparently affected his 4ame. While he beat most of the "pros as an amateur, until this tournament he never won much in the/way of hard cash. Usually he was a threat—and that ended it. But in the Los Angeles- Open he finished like gang busters to whip runnerup E-J. (Dutch* Har,4sop fey. three strokes. .. Harrison , won $3,750 for second place and young Gay Brewer, of Cincinnati, the third-round leader, finished third wifh I ’a 279. His finish was good for $2,600. Bill Casper, one of the country’s top mon■y winners last season, came in Ith with a 280 and collected $2,200.

George Kell Quits Major League Ball .SWH’TON. Ark. (IP> — George Kell of the Baltimore Orioles, one /of the American League’s most ■ consistent hitters, has decided 4b retire from ba eball "because of 7 a combination of reasnns.” The 35-year-old infielder, who had a lifetime batting average of .305. talked with Baltimore Manager Paul -Richards. Monday and notified him of his decision. ”1 docltfad that I wanted to spend more time with my fam- ! ily." Kell said. ‘Twas getting awj fully tired of traveling all the_time Umd I livnght it was better to/quit Von ms Own rather than have someone pat me on the back and tell me it"was 4une to go.”

Willie Mays Is Signed To New Contract SAN FRANCISCO 'UP> — Willie Mays, the “say hey" kid who has patroled Centerfield for the Giants off and on for six years, was the third highest paid player in baseball today on the strength of his ”$65-000 plus** 1958 contract. The former Alabama field hand showed all the polish of a veteran sports personality Monday as he posed with his boss. Giants owner Horace Stoneham, at a much ballyhooed contract signing ceremony. . “Man, you can say I like this contract,” the National League batting star told sportswriters. “I only hope Mr. Stoneham gets his money’s worth.” The beaming Stoneham, who appeared to be enchanted with the idea of laying out more money for any National League player other than Stan Musial of the Cardinals, said “we got a bargain.” Stonehm batted .333 last season and hit 35 homers, was getting “a substantial increase in salary ’’ But, true to the fashion in the baseball business, he wouldn’t be pinned down to specifics on salary terms. "You can say Willie will be getting more than we have ever paid a player," he said. “A safe guess would be in excess of $65,000." > Soipe sports writers are saying flatly the 26-yeqr-old long ball hitting Giant is getting $70,000 Whether or not the figure reaches' that- Mays is still only behind Musial and Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox when it comes to atmospheric salaries. The St. Louis Cardinals, meanwhile, signed pitcher Wilmer J(Vinegar Bend) Mizell and the Pittsburgh Pirates came to terms ! with pitcher Vernon Law. Both ; are rated key players in next j season’s .plans. I Mizell, a left-handed speedbailer, had an 8-10 record last season but is called “the key to our 1958 season” by Manager Fred Hutch- 1 inson. The 6-3, 200-pounder admit- J ted. ”1 didn't have much to argue about” our terms but said he was aiming at “that magic 20 vici tories” this year. Law had a 10-8 record and a 2.86 earned run average, fifth best in the National League, last sea- : son Manager Danny Murtaugh ; hopes he, Bob. Friend and Ron I Kline will give the Pirates a pitching trio equal to any other in the National League. I The Los Angeles Dodgers signed left-handed pitcher Fred Kipp, a current Winter League star after a disappointing season at Mont- : real: the Chicago Cubs signed ■ Dale Long, Jim Bolger, Don Elston and rookie John Goryl. and the Kansas City Athletics mafcd.

Fred Digby, Sugar Bowl general manager, said the tournament recognizes all NCAA rulings and no. team under suspension could ever play in the annual tourney.' He said no substitute team has been considered, is yet. Wichita’s efforts to clean up ar ‘unsavory, situation” led to the -esignation of head football- Coach Pete Tillman and all but one of bis assistants. The NCAA charged that Tillman told his players before a 1956 game, that they could -eceive nonrtnal—‘cash payments for particularly good plays during .he game. NCAA officials said it appeared to have been the only time such a proposition yvas made and there w|sre no indications that any of the players were given cash payments.
