(Worthman, 8 p.m.) PGA Tourney Opens Thursday At Minneapolis MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — The I usual grumblings of a “tricked up course” were missing today among the field of 180 players who will tee off Thursday in the PGA golf championship over the Minneapolis Golf Club course. As in the U. S. Open, played at the Winged Foot Golf Club at Mamaroneck. N.Y., last June, the golfers agreed that this course, like that one, is as far a test of the game as could be found. That's a far cry from the usual laments that the courses over which major championship tournaments are played are toughened up unfairly. They’vu changed the usual par of 36-36-72 to 35-35-70, but they do that for the Open, too, and the competing golfers pay little attention to it. They figure par for the course for the four rounds comprising the PGA title-chase is still 72, but they don’t think that four regualtion rounds will do the trick. The one thing most of them are concerned about is the winds which sweep the 6,500 - yard course, which the home pro. Gunnar Johnson, claims runs closer to 7,000 yards. “The winds can change here four times a day and if it should come from the north or northwest, it could mean a difference of three strokes in the scoring,” Johnson explained. “If the winds are from the south, as they usualy are, it might take 275— five under par, to win it.” But such favorites as Jay Hebert said they would be satisfied with 280. • Jay predicted that driving would decide the tournament because the fairways are narrow, and “there isn’t any golfer today that can hit the greens of the two par five holes here in two.” The par fives are the 561-yard third and the 581-yard 15th. Pleasant Mills Boys See Major Leaguers Saturday, Pleasant Mills ball club members traveled to Cincinnati where they saw the Cincinnati Redlegs lose to the Philadelphia Phillies. A. J. Davison, Luther Sovine, Tracy Turner, and bus driver Charles E. Workinger accompanied the boys, from the Little League and farm teams. The next event for the Pleasant Mills ball club sponsors will be an ice cream social August 15. The Pleasant Mills Lions club will be assisted by the Gals and Pals home demonstration club, at the Pleasant Mills school. Money raised at this social will go into the treasury for next year’s activities of the Lions club-sponsored baseball teams. Roster Is Juggled By Boston Red Sox CLEVELAND (UPI) — The Boston Red Sox shipped utility infielder Herb Plews to Minneapolis of the American Assn, and released pitcher Murray Wall today to make room for two newcomers. In an attempt to strengthen their lineup, the Red Sox have called up pitcher Earl Wilson and shortstop Jim Mahoney from Minneapolis.

Berne Scores Two Victories In Pony Loop - Berne came up with a pair of victories in the Adams county Pony League Monday night at Worthman ) field. Berne defeated the Decatur s Cardinals, 9-3, in the opener, and gained a forfeit from the Decatur - Braves in the scheduled nightcap. 5 In the opener, Berne scored once in the first inning, but the Cardinals took the lead with three in the , same frame. The Decatur' runs scored on a double by Fravel, two bases on balls and an error. However. K. Habegger took over mound duties in the second inning and held the Cardinals hitless and scoreless the rest of the way. Berne tied the score in the second inning and put two more over in the third. One more scored in the sixth and three in the seventh. The second game was forfeited to Berne when the Braves’ manager called time twice in the same inning to talk to his pitcher. Pony League rules state "Any manager who goes onto the playing field more than once in one inning to talk to a player or players will be required to make a pitching change.” With no change in pitchers made by the Braves, the game was forfeited to Berne. The Braves are scheduled to play at Geneva Wednesday and Friday evenings at 6 o’clock to complete their league schedule. BERNE AB R H E Stahly, p, sss 0 10 Biberstine 3 2 11 K.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

♦ | Today's Sport Parade ] (Reg. U 43. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press InAernational MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — Baseball’s proposed third major league could be neither happy nor optimistic today over the Minneapo-olis-St. Paul reaction that the north country’s Twin Cities would . be one of its key franchises. There was a general apathy and disinterest on the part of the man in the street. It has many facets. The main one is that the Twin Cities would be “just another minor league team” masquerading in big league uniforms. There are several other important factors. First of these is a ; feeling, even in this dual city of 1.500.000 people, that a team which draws a paltry 5,000 attendance for its league leading team in the American Assn, couldn’t equal “the from hunger crowds” of six to eight thousand for the average Washington Senator game. Seemingly Eternal Feud Then, too, there is the seemingly eteranl feud between the shoulder to shoulder cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. It is a feeling akin to the dog-eat-dog rivalry which became such a lucrative item for the erstwhile- Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants. You draw a line between two pieces of real estate and immediately those concerned start acting like starved stepbrothers fighting over the last pork chop on the ; platter. Go out into the streets and the stores and the public places and you can almost taste this rabid partisanship. It raises the hackles on your neck like a meeting between the cobra and the mongoose, the bull and the red flag or a couple of ex-wives. Minneapolis has a stadium which, with the addition of a planned tier, can be improved uni til it would be a match for the beat in the big leagues. But the ! tier would be useless without customers to fill it. t And those fans come from St. Paul, a district 1 with absolutely nothing saintly 1 about it when it comes to things from Minneapolis. St. Paul wants its own ball club, and that’s that. Talk of Internal Expansion 1 Talking to the man on the street you also get the idea—i which in all fairness was voiced i previously by Commissioner Ford I Frick—that expansion must come from within. There are those who insist that, aside from signing his i paychecks correctly, the commis- , sioner does very little of a positive nature. It was Frick’s contention that ' the current eight-team major leagues each should be broadened to JO teams. This would absorb a second New York team in the National League plus three others you could pull out of a hat. “Better to be 10th in a real major league, and be able to see real major league teams once in a while, than to be first in what you know acutally is a triple-A league,” said one man from the land of Hiawatha. “The other way, you know you’re still going to be looking at triple-A ball in the new ‘major* league for more years than you like 'to think about. And in the interim I know damned well we don’t support the masquerade.” Here in the stake - studded land which Longfellow made famous, Minnie still seems to be giving, them the ha-ha. Little Leaguer Is Killed By Lightning DAYTON, Ohio (UPI) — A 13-year-old Little League ball player was struck and killed by a lightning bolt Monday night while his parents watched him in a practice game. Authorities said Jackie King had just stepped from the batter’s box after striking out and was about to go out in the field with his teammates when the bolt knocked him to the ground unconscious.

Formation Os Third Major League Told NEW YORK (UPI) - William A. Shea, the man who did the job that couldn’t be done, said today the new Continental League “is offering major league baseball the greatest deal in its history” but is prepared to go it alone if the big leagues try to block formation of the third circuit. “We anticipate the cooperation of organized baseball,” said the dynamic, 52-year-old New York City attorney who Monday announced the formation of the new league with founding franchises in with American and National St. Paul, Denver and Toronto. “But we are all in this to stay and we are not going to back out no matter what happens." Shea said the new league will take its next step when it meets wih American and National League officials in New York, Aug. 18, and proposes its solutions to the problems of player distribution, territorial rights, inclusion in the pension plan, television policies and participation in the World Series. Join Baseball Structure . “We expect then (Aug. 18) to join the structure of organized baseball,” said Shea. “Once that’s

done, we’ll proceed to the new problems.” Shea insisted the new league was “holding no club’.’ over organized baseball but Edwin C. Johnson, three times governor of Colorado who delivered an impassioned plea for support of the new league Monday, sounded ‘ a warning that obviously is a key factor in the circuit's formation. “I' believe that , the major leagues are sincere in their ex--1 pressed wishes to help in the ex- > pansion of their game," said ’ Johnson, who served as president 1 of the Western League for seven [ years. “But I also know major league baseball fears two things ■ — the courts and the Congress. • We do not want to start a war but we are not afraid of one.” i Shea argued that organized ■ baseball “must accept us” be- : cause we are offering them “the greatest deal in their history.” “It can’t cost them a thing,” 1 he said. “It creates vast new 1 areas of interest and income with no risk on their part. On what grounds would they object to a ■ deal like that?” Plan 154 Games in 1961 Shea said the new league 1 planned to begin its first 154game schedule in 1961 with a mininum of eight clubs and added that it might be included in the World Series by 1963 or 1964. In addition to the founding cities, he listed Buffalo, Montreal, Atlanta, New Orleans, Portland, San Diego, Miami, Indianapolis, DallasFhrt Worth, Seattle and San i Juan, P.R., as cities interested in I chaining franchises. i “We will want to be included

in the World Series when our champion is able to give a good account of itself,” said Jack Kent Cooke, owner of the Toronto International League club and president of a founding franchise. “And the day will come when the Continental League will win the World Series and we wil really be made then.” r tnO AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Eastern Division W.
