Arnold Palmer Wins Playoff For Series AKRON, Ohio (UPI) — The last spot in the World Series of Golf was filled today by the first man you’d figure to do it — Arnold Palmer. Palmer did it the hard way beating Phil and Jacky Cupit in a special 18-hole playoff Tuesday to win the fourth and final berth in the World Series of Golf coming up Sept. 7-8. Palmer now has shot a winnning $89,000 in the next three weeks. Any part of those winnings — and the minimum is $5,00 will add more luster to his golfing gold, which already is an alltime season’s record of $96,955. He'll start shooting Thursday in the $55,000 American Golf Classic over the same course he trounced Rodgers and Cupit. And he will be favored to defend the Classic championship he won last year. First place money is $9,00, with bonuses of $5,000 for a possible total of $14,000. Next week he gets a crack at $25,00 first place money in an exhibition match against Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player at Waukegan, 111., after which $50,000 in first place money will be on the line in the World Series of Golf. ' ‘"lhat sure is a lot of money I’m shooting for,” smiled Palmer after he had shot his winning 34-35-69, one under par, over the long and tough Firestone Country Club Course Tuesday. He actually got in a shot at all that loot because Nicklaus won two of the four tournaments which decided the World Series of 4«plf participants. Nicklaus, who has won $81,265 thus far this year, won the Masters and PGA. That let hint in with Julius Boros, the U. S. Open winner, and Bob Charles, who won the British open. When there are duplicate winners, the qualifying berths go to one of those who finished either in the runner-up spots or playoffs. Palmer and Cupit tied Boros foi the U. S. Open title and lost in a playoff. Rodgers tied Charles, the New Zealand left-hander, for the British Open crown but bowed in the playoff.

Fine Ming Marks American League Games By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Whatta mess! That’s the only way to describe the .entire American League situatpon. A lopsided race is one thing, but who ever heard of the pitchers still being ahead of the hitters in late August? It’s different in spring training where the hitters can claim they’re rusty from the long winter lay-off, but what excuse can they offer now after having five months to sharpen their batting eyes? Oh well, maybe things will ’ all even up by Thanksgiving Day. Tuesday night, however, it was strictly one-sided and the pitchers had a ball. Hurls One-Hitter Moe Drabowsky of Kansas City, for example, beat Washington, 9-0, on a one-hitter in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader and the A’s also took the 14-in-ning nightcap, 7-5. Southpaw Hank Aguirre hurled a two-hitter for Detroit in a 6-0 victory over Minnesota, while another left-hander, Juan Pizarro of the White Sox, retired 24 batters in order en route to a 10-2 triumph over the Red Sbx. Veteran Dick Donovan came up with some brilliant clutch pitching also in leading the Indians to a 2-1 win over the Yankees. Even with the loss the Yankees still lead the league by 9% games. The Baltimore-Los Angeles game was postponed because of rain with the Orioles ahead, 4-1, after four innings. Don Blasingame’s bunt single in the fourth inning was the only hit given up by Drabowsky as he coasted to his fifth victory behind a 15-hit Kansas City attack. Jerry Lumpe gave the A’s a sweep when he homered with one on off reliever Don Rudolph in the 14th inning of the nightcap. Aguirre yielded a leadpff single to Lennie Green of the Twins in the first inning and didn’t allow another hit until Harmon Killebrew singled in the seventh. Pizarro’s effort was similar to Aguirre’s although the Red Sox nicked him for five hits. Felix Mantilla got Boston’s first hit in the opening frame after which Pizarro retired 24 batters in order before the Red Sox put together four more singles for both their runs in the ninth. Pizarro drove in three runs with as many hits. Donovan really had to work to nail down his ninth victory against the Yankees, who filled the bases with one out in the ninth. But the Cleveland righthander got pinch hitter Yogi Berra to bounce into a game-ending double play. Vic Davalillo’s infield single with the bases full drove in the winning run for the Indians in the top of the ninth. Suburban League To - Meet This Evening The women’s Suburgan league will meet this evening 7:30 o’clock at Villa Lanes. There are openings for teams and individuals and any one interested should be present or call Lucille Bodie, 3-4780, or Corita Pierce, 3-4550.

Wallace Butts IsElafedAf Libel Victory ATLANTA (UPI) -r Wallace Butts, the round little man of football whose teams at the University of Georgia earned him fame for 22 years, held a new one for the record books today —a $3,060,00 libel suit judgment against the Saturday 'Evening Post It was the second highest award ever made in a libel suit and the highest ever involving a sports personality. Butts, sometimes called "Weeping Wally” in football coaching circles, wept openly when the jury brought in its decision Tuesday in federal court. It came after seven hours and 18 minutes of deliberation and climaxed a suit that had run into its third week in testimony from more than 50 witnesses. But Butts was chipper at a news conference an hour later. “I feel like a champ,” the former coach and then athletic director said. Other Developments There were these immediate developments: —The Saturday Evening Post said it will appeal the award by the jury of 12 businessmen. It has 30 days in which to tile briefs. —Georgia defensive line coach John Gregory, the only member of the Georgia athletic staff to testify for Butts, was fired from his job by Georgia coach Johnny Gri f f ith. Gregory immediately charged the firing came because of his stand in the controversy. —Curtis Publishing Co., publisher of the Saturday Evening Post, said in New York that it has slashed its losses for the second quarter to $1,099,00 from a loss of $14,727,00 for the same period last year. —Southeastern Conference Commissioner Bernie Moore said the verdict should help lift “the dark cloud” hanging over intercollegiate football and the Southeastern Conference. —An Internal Revenue Service spokesman in Washington indicated that federal taxes may take a big chunk of any final settlement. The spokesman cited a Supreme Court decision holding that punitive damages paid to a person in a libel suit are taxable. He said also that compensatory damages also may be taxable, if the injury for which they were paid causes no loss of income, ——“ Second Largest The $3,060,00 award — $60,000 for actual damages and $3 million in punitive damages — was second only to the $3 5 million won by New York radio commentator John Henry Faulk against a publication, Aware, Inc. Faulk contended an article in Aware connected him with a proCommunist group and led to his dimissal by the Columbia Broadcasting System and to a subseqnet blacklist in the broadcast industry. Butts claimed that his character was smeared and his career runied by an article, “The Story of a College Football Fix,” appearing in the March 23 issue of the Post. The Post, in the magazine article, reported that Butts, in an overheard telephone conversation, .had given valuable secrets about the University of Georgia football team to Alabama coach Paul (Bear) Bryant prior to last lai’s game between the two schools. Alabama won; 35-0. ’ Bryant also sued for $lO million and that suit is still pending in the federal court at Birmingham. The Post has asked for a change of venue.

Dodgers Beat Cardinals To Increase Lead By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Bye bye, Redbirds. That was about the size of it for the cooled-off Cardinals today after the high-riding Dodgers beat them, 7-5, Tuesday night to increase their National League lead to 6% games. The Cardinals came into Los Angeles filled with pennant ideas following their three straight victories oyer the stumbling San Francisco Giants. One misplay killed all those ideas and the unfortunate victim was first baseman Bill White, or. dinarily one of the finest players in the circuit. Here was the situation: The Dodgers trailed, 4-2, in the fourth inning and had runners on first and second when John Roseboro grounded to White. Trying to force speedy Willie Davis at second. White threw the ball into center field, enabling Frank Howard to score from second and Davis all the way from first on the error. Before the inning was over, the Dodgers rallied for five runs and that was the ball game. The Giants, meanwhile, fell 7% games off the pace by dropping a 6-1 decision to the Braves. The Reds beat the Colts, 1-0, the Mets ended the Phillies’ eight-game winning streak with a 4-0 victory in the opener of a twin-bill but lost the nightcap, 2-1, in 12 innings and the Pirates defeated the Cubs, 5-3. Lee Maye’s three-run homer in the seventh inning capped a fiverun rally that brought the Brayes their victory over the Giants. Vada Pinson’s sacrifice fly in the sixth inning scored Pete Rose with the only run of the Cincin-nati-Houston game. Rookie Grover Powell, making his first major league start for the Mets, held the Phils to four hits in the opener to beat veteran Cal McLish. Tony Taylor’s runproducing single in the 12th inning snapped a I-all tie in the nightcap. Home runs by Jerry Lynch, Bill Mazeroski and Jim Pagliaroni paced the Pirates to their victory over the Cubs. Jack-Jill League To Meet Thursday The Jack and Jill bowling league will hold its organizational meeting at 8 p.m. Thursday Vanes; All teams should be represented.
