(UPD - ' When it comes to playoffs in golf tournaments, put your money on Art Wall. That appears to be the lesson taught by the Eastern Open golf championship which ended here Sunday witth Wall beating Jackie Burke and Bob Rosburg in a .‘‘sudden death" playoff for the , title. It was Wall’s sixth major I golf victory—and his fourth vis i a playoff. The tourney veteran from Pocono Manor. Pa., tied Burke and Rosburg at 276 for 72 holes by sinking a 20-foot putt for a birdie on the last hole, and then he beat them on the first extra hole by ■ sinking an eight-footer for ani other birdie. I Wall picked up $2,800 for his i victory and must now be reckoned the hottest golfer on the pro I tour. In his last four starts, he won at Akron, was second at Hartford, 11th in the PGA. and now first here. Burke and Rosburg matched 1 Wall at five - under - par 67 for ' the final round. Only one stroke ■ out of the three-way tie was young Gary Player of South Africa, who had a last - round 69 1 for a 277 total.

U.S. Leads In Track And Field ! Meet With Reds 4 I .MOSCOW (UPD —A surprising ) showing by tne supposedly weak ) American women gave the United 1 States track and field team some I hope today of beating the l Russian team even under the ) scoring system the Russ’ians are J using. ! The Soviets — much stronger I in women's events than in men’s ) —say points for the two divisions . should be combined. Under that I system, the United States held an unexpected 83-75 lead going into ( today’s concluding program at , huge Lenin Stadium. ' —The Americans—sayfhatpoints should be counted separately. Under, that system, the U. S. men were leading, 61 - 45, in their events; the Russian women were leading, 30-22, in their events. The surprising U. S. lead after the first day was the result of two upset wins by American women — lanky Barbara Jones of Chicago who took the 100 meter dash in 11.6 seconds, and the women’s 400 meter relay. Down The Wire , In the events that wind up the two-day meet today, the United States was favored to win six men’s events, the Russians favored in four; and two were wide' open. In women's competition, | the Russians were favored in .four and the Americans are given a chance in only one, the shot put. That forecast indicated a nip-and-tuck race down the wire for the team title. If so, the victory could hinge on the one dispute Sunday — the disqualification of Gordon McKenzie of New York in the 10,000 meter run. McKenzie slowed to a trot because he was far behind and 1 officials ruled him out. costing the i United States team one point. The final result also could hinge i on the outcome of the spectacular ] decathlon duel between R as e r < Johnson of Kingsburg, Calif., and i Russia’s Vassily Kuznetsov. 1 After the first five events Sunday, Johnson was slightly ahead i with 4,529 points to Kuznet- 1 sov's 4,420. i Americans won seven of the 10 1 men's events contested Sunday . and surprised by taking two of 1 the five women's events. Among the men, Harold Con- ■ nolly of Boston took the hammer throw with a heave of 220 feet. 8 inches; Ira Murchison of Chicago won the 100 meter dash in 10.2 seconds; Ancel Robinson of Fresno, Calif, won the 110 meter high hurdles in 13.9 seconds; Ernie Shelby of Los Angeles won the broad jump with 26 feet, % inch; Glenn Davis of Columbus. Ohio, won the 400 meter run in 45.6 seconds; Parry O'Brien of Los Angeles won the shot put I with a toss of 62.78 feet; and the 400-meter relay team of Murchison, Ed Collymore of Cambridge, Mass., Jim Segrest of Abilene Christian, and Davis won in 39.6 seconds. Valdimir Bulatov of Russia surprised; by winning the pole vault with a leap of 14 teet, 9 % inches. As expected, Leonid Spiritsin of i Russia won the 20 kilometer walk in 1:33.43.2 and Evgeny Zukov of Russia won the 10,000 meter run in 29:59.8. Jim Megan Sold By Detroit To Phillies DETROIT (UPD — Jim Hegan, hailed as the answer to the Detroit Tigers' pressing catching problem in the spring, was sold Sunday to the Philadelphia Phillies for a minor league player and cash. The Tigers again called up lefthand hitting Charlie Lau of Romulus, Mich., who was hitting .286 for Charleston. 7 Indianapolis Hurler To Join White Sox Chicago (UPD — Barry Lat- ■ man, mainstay of the Indianapolis Indians pitching staff, was sched- i uled to join the Chicago White ■ Sox today. Veteran Bob Keegan, who pitched a no-hitter for the Sox last year, was optioned to the Indians to set up Latman’s recall. Latman, a righthander, finished the 1957 season with Chicago and won one and lost two. He was 9 and 11 with the Tribe this year. mu . J! , “That pitcher is getting tougher.

Report Alston On Way Out As Dodgers' Boss NEW YORK (UPD — Walter O’Malley is “ready to make a change” and manager Walt Alston is "rt” —unless the last - place Los Angeles Dodgers do a complete turnabout in the next 10 days — the United Press International learned on excellent authority today. Should the Dodgers show no marked improvement during that time, a new manager probably 'Mil be named to coincide with the club’s return home to Los Angeles on Aug. 8, according to the source. O’Malley’s likely choice as Alston's successor will be Los Angeles Coach Charley Dressen, whom Alston replaced as Dodger manager in 1954. Two other men —Bobby Bragan and Leo Durtx cher — also are in the managerial picture. ‘‘That recent vote of confidence the Dodgers gave Alston was tantamount to handing him his hat,” ’said the UPI source. “O’Malley already has decided to make' a change and he’s debating | apiong three choicek — Dressen, Bragan and Dourocher. "All three are popular on the West Coast. Durocher might prove too hard to get. Bragan is in the Dodgers’ system at Spokane and could be brought in easily, but Dressed is right there with the club and O'Maley. still thinks highly of him despite their past ! differences, so he looks like the logical man.” Alston, who is operating on one of those famous one - year contracts O’Malley hands out, will be 1 offered a place in the Dodgers’ jor ganization from which he emerged to lead the team to its only world championship in 1955. Since taking over as Dodger manager. Alston has made a good showing every year except this one. He finished second in 1954; won the pennant and the World Series against the Yankees in 1955; won the pennant again in 1956 but lost the World Series, and wound up tljird last year. The team really fell apart on him this season through no fault of his own. Roy Campanella’s tragic ' accident during the winter was the major blow. Then Don Newcombe, baseball’s outstanding pitcher only two years ago, failed to win and was traded to Cincinnati. Right ( now, Duke Snider and Carl Furilo are nursing injuries & at keep them from playing. I Mimii' American Association W. L. Pct.

Aaron Stars As Braves Boost National Lead ■ By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Hear all that hammering? It’s only Hank Aaron keeping the front door open for the Milwaukee Braves and preventing Natiohal League pitchers from getting any sleep. Aaron did some pretty loud knocking Sunday when he drove in three runs with a homer and a single that beat the Cubs, 4-1, and moved the Braves a full game in front. Hammerin’ Hank unloaded his 22nd homer with one on in the first inning off Dave Hillman and singled home Bill Bruton in the third. All that hitting brought rookie Carlton Willey his fourth victory although he needed help from Don McMahon when the Cubs threatened* in the ninth. Chicago collected only five htis, all off Willey. Pittsburgh nipped San Francisco, 2-1, in a 14-inning opener and the second game was suspended with the score tied 3-3 in the eighth because of Pennsylvania’s Sunday curfew law. Wins In 14th Dick Groat’s sacrifice fly scored Frank Thomas with the winning run in the 14th inning of the opener. Reliever Don Gross was the winner. Ray Jablonski homered off starter Ronnie Kline in the seventh and Bob Skinner tied the score with a homer off Al Worthington in the ninth. The Philies and Dodgers wound up in “suspense,” too, in their twin-bill at Philadelphia. Philadelphia won the opener, 7-4, with the aid of Willie Jones' two homers and the second game was suspended because of the curfew law with the Phils ahead, 2-1, in the sixth. Jones’ two homers plus a pair of triples by Solly Hemus and another homer by Carl Sawatski gave Robin Roberts his 10th win in the opener. Cincinnati charged back for a 10-1 victory in the nightcap of a double-dip after St. Louis won the opener, 4-3, behind Larry Jack- i son's six-hit pitching. Ex - American Leaguer Alex Kellner set the Cards down on seven hits in the finale while the Redlegs nicked loser Bob Mabe for six hits and seven runs during the 4 2-3 innings he pitched. Joe Cunningham and Frank Robinson each hit homers in the opener. Yanks Lose Two Over in the American League, the Cleveland Indians halted the New York Yankees’ seven - game winning streak with a pair of identical 7-2 victories. It was the Indians’ first victories over the Yanks in Cleveland this season following seven straight losses to the league leaders. Cal McLish gained his ninth victory in the opener by holding the Yankees to eight hits. In the nightcap Jim (Mudcat) Grant hurled a three-hitter for his eighth victory and Rocky Colavito contributed a grand - sjam homer off Bob Turley, who lost his fourth game against 15 victories. The Red Sox snapped a fourgame losing streak with a flurry of four home runs that sunk the

White Sox, 7-3. Jackie Jensen hit his 29th homer while teammates Don Buddin, Frank Malzone and Jim Piersal also hit for the circuit. Roger Maris drove in five runs while leading Kansas City to an 11-6 decision over Baltimore. Maris had a pair of triples and a single to pace the Athletics’ 16-hit attack while Bob Cerv collected two singles to take over the league batting lead with a .330 average. Washington swept a doubleheader from the skidding Detroit Tigers, 4-3 and 6-1, on a pair of fine pitching performances by Cam i1 o Pascual and Pedro Ramos. May Vole Today On Goldfine Contempt House Committee Members Meeting WASHINGTON (UPI) — Honse influence - investigating subcommittee members planned to press today for a vote on recommending citation of Boston millionaire Bernard Goldfine for contempt of Congress. If the vote is taken, it Is virtually certain to favor contempt action. Subcommittee Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) called a closed subcommittee meeting this afternoon to discuss a “code of ethics" bill aimed at halting alleged abuses uncovered in investigating the Federal Communications Commission. The meeting was the first since the subcommittee halted its hearings into charges that Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams influenced the Federal Trade Commission and Securities A Exchange Commission on Goldfine’s behalf while receiving plush gifts from the textile manufacturer. Harris declined to say whether the long-expected vote on a contempt citation for Goldfine would be held. However several subcommittee members “anxious" to vote made clear they planned to discuss it. Harris and several other members including some Republicans have made it clear they think Goldfine is guilty of contempt. j

Some Changes Made In Nuclear Weapons New Fuses To Allow Low-Level Bursts WASHINGTON (UPI (-Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy has informed Congress some nuclear weapons in the nation's stockpile have been altered in such away as to increase radioactive fallout in a local are. But he denied this was done deliberately to make the weapons “dirtier.” In a letter to Chairman Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) of the Senate Armed Services Committee, McElroy said some nuclear weapons had been given new fuses to permit low - level bursts when neded to destroy an airfield with a giant crater, or to demolish other installations such as submarine pens. He said low - level explosions pick up dirt and make it radioactive, thus increasing local deadly fallout. But he said total falout was not increased. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (DN. M.), member and former chairman of the Senate - House Atomic Energy Committee, engaged in a heated dispute earlier this year with Lewis L. Straus now retired as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, on this subject. Anderson contended the military had delibertely withdrawn atomic weapons from the stockpile to make them “dirtier.” Strauss hotly denied this and so did the military. ; If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad— thev bring results
