Ninth Annual International Matches Open DORADO BEACH. P.R. (UPI) —A wide open battle for both the team and individual championships was forecast today with the start of play in the ninth annual International Trophy and Canada Cup matches. Sam Snead, who seems to improve with age, and the Australian team of Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson were ranked slight favorites in the field of 64 golfers from 32 nations. But rated right behind Snead, who turned 49 this week and has won his last two tournaments, were the host pro, Pete Cooper of the Dorado Beach Golf Club, defending champion Flory Van Donck of Belgium, and Nagle, the British Open champion. In the race for team honors, the Puerto Rican team of Cooper and little Chi Chi Rodriguez, was ranked right next to the Australians. Both know the 7,115-yard Dorado Beach course like a book, and just as important, both are accustomed to the intense heat and humidity of a Puerto Rico summer. The heat and humidity is expected to take its toll among the older players before the tournament winds up Sunday. “It probably won’t bother Snead though.’’ said Cooper,, who predicted a four round total of 280 would be good enough to win. “Old Sam seems to get better with age and on a long course like this one you just have to pick the old slammer.” Snead was a member of the winning U.S. team last year, but finished second to Van Donck in the individual competition. Then he was paired with Arnold Palmer. Palmer, however, was forced to withdraw from this International meet because of a PGA rule barring its members from competing in a tourney that conflicts with a PGA sponsored event. The Memphis Open is being played at the same. time. The U.S. team of Snead and 50-year-old Jimmy Demaret was rated no better than third choice in the team chase. Despite his layoff, Demaret hit the ball well in his pnactiCijfrocftfiA Wednesday, but his putting was off. Snead carded a six under par 66. for the best practice round score, followed by Cooper with a 67.

Louis Urges Boxing Cleanup By Congress

WASHINGTON (UPD-Joe Louis asked Congress today to throw a knockout punch at evil characters who try to turn boxing into a “racket.” The ex-heavyweight champion said nothing in sports could be more timely than legislation to clean up boxing. He said he hoped a bill by Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., will “have a punch and will, in a few rounds, kayo the evils of a great profession.” Louis gave his views in a letter to Kefauver’s Senate monopoly subcommittee. He was scheduled to testify before the subcommittee later today. Kefauver’s bill would set up a national boxing commissioner to supervise a federal license system. The boxing czar would be empowered to withhold licenses from shady boxers, managers, promoters and matchmakers. "Perhaps when you are through, people will again refer to the boxing game as the ‘manly art of self defense’ instead of the •fight racket’,” Louis wrote Kefauver. Tommy Loughran, former light heavyweight champ, testified Wednesday that boxing “has been taken over absolutely” by criminal elements. He agreed with exheavyweight champion Rocky Marciano, who also testified Wednesday, that a federal boxing czar is needed. .. »

DeWitt Trades Are Paying Off For Cincinnati By FRED DOWN . United Press International Bill DeWitt “studied his base- , ball” under master trader Branch Rickey and it’s obvious that the t current general manager of the , Cincinnati Reds learned his les- ' sons well. How well can be judged by a look at the National League j standings which show the lightly- , regarded Reds in a first-place . tie with the San Francisco Giants. They’ve reeled off six con- . secutive victories and 12 of their , last 16 games and it’s just about [ time their rivals began to take , them seriously as a pennant contender. t Trades — DeWitt’s trades—- ( have "made” the Reds. They’ve transformed the sixth - place , bunglers of 1960 into a team with , a neat balance of pitching and power ably manipulated by manager Fred Hutchinson. , Two of DeWitt’s trades bore ’ fruit again Wednesday night when , Joey Jay gained his sixth victory , of the season and Gene Freese \ hit his seventh and eighth homers of the year in an 8-7 triumph over . the Los Angeles Dodgers. The j Reds needed the victory to ! remain in a first-place tie because . the San Francisco Giants had beat- . en the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, in , an afternoon game. The Pittsburgh Pirates routed Warren Spahn and whipped the Milwaukee Braves, 9-1, and the Chicago Cubs downed tfae Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, in other National League games. Athletics Bump Tigers In the American League, the Kansas City Athletics knocked off the first place Detroit Tigers, 6-4, the New York Yankees defeated ■ the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, the Chicago White Sox beat the Baltii more Orioles, 9-4. and the Los • Angeles Angels scored a 5-3 12inning win over the Washington Senators.... . Joe Amalfitano’s Infield out with the bases filled pushed over a ninth-inning run that enabled the Giants to end their threegame losing streak. Stu Miller, who pitched hitless ball for the last three innings, won his fourth game while Curt Simmons suffered the defeat. Joe Gibbon pitched a six-hitter and struck out 10. including Eddie Mathews four times, and also hit one of eight doubles accumulated by the Pirates, who ended a five- ’ game losing streak. Don Elston’s ninth-inning relief helped Bob Anderson win his second game for the Cubs, whose 12hit attack included three hits each by Ernie Banks and Ron Santo. Robin Roberts, tagged for 11 hits and four runs in seven innings, Jest, his seventh straight decision. \ Pignatano Provides Spark Joe Pignatano drove in three runs with a homer, double and two singles to lead Kansas City's 13-hit attack. Chico Fernandez and Steve Boros homered for the Tigers but the blows weren’t enough to avert Frank Lary's third loss of the year. Joe Nuxhall gained credit for his third win. Mickey Mantle hit his 14th homer and Roger Maris hit No. 12 to help give rookie Roland Sheldon his first major league victory. homers and Wes Covington had homers and Wzs Covington had three run-scoring singles to lead the White Sox’ 10-hit attack. Frank Baumann yielded 10 hits but went the distance for his third win while Chuck Estrada, an 18-game winner last season, lost his fourth game for Baltimore. Ken Aspromonte doubled home the tie-breaking run in the 12th and then scored on a single by Leon Wagner to give Ted Bowsfield his first win of the year for the Angels.

Three Golfers Are Favored Al Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPD-Doug Sanders and Doug Ford, recent hot money winners, were lumped today with defending champion Tommy Bolt as early favorites in Colonial Country Club’s $30,000 Memphis Open which had knocked Gary Player and Arnold Palmer out of the Canada Cup matches. The temperamental Bolt praised Bob Rosburg, chairman of the PGA tourney committee who had warned Palmer and Player, the two top money winners, they would be fined and suspended if they skipped Memphis to play in Puerto Rico. Bolt said "no two guys are running our organization.” Ford said Memphis "took the right stand.” Jim Gaquin, PGA press secretary said "the players now realize they can’t be excused. The PGA contract is binding. Memphis broke the ice by holding firm. If Memphis hadn’t won, both sponsors and players would have been in a bad way for future tournaments.” Gaquin said “it has awakened players to the fact that they owe their primary allegiance to sponsors who raise money and expect a good field.” t Gardner Dickinson of Tequesta, Fla., fired seven-under-par 63 Wednesday to win the pro-am event and S3OO top prize money plus SIBO in team money.
