Pick Harry Edwards in Olympic barrel roll

By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)— Harry Edwards has the U.S. Olympic Committee over a barrel today, and he can start rolling it any time he wants. To make matters even worse for the committee, Edwards has the staves spiked and greased and from here on in, right up to Oct. 12, he’s the man who will be calling the turn as far as the 1968 Olympic Gan\es are concerned. If you don't think, so, just check the options open to the man who is spearheading the proposed Negro boycott of the games, to be held in Mexico City this fall, and the alterna. lives faced by the U.S. Olympic Committee. Edwards, by implication, claims he has at least 35 Negro t track and field athletes ready to follow him in his boycott movement. Running The Show “We have the numbers and we can pull off the boycott any time we like," said Edwards. “We are in the driver’s seat now and we can call the tune. The black people have had no

victories in this country but I think we have one now.” Edwards claimed at a news conference Monday that “every black (athlete) out ttiere is in the fold. We have taken a vote as to what we are going to do but we aren’t revealing it now.” “We can afford to wait and see what happens and make our decision known anytime, today, tomorrow, next week, next month or right in Mexico City,” said Edwards. “It’s our ball game now.” From all appearances, it is, too, as of the moment. If, as Edwards claims, he has 35 Negro athletes ready to boycott, then the U.S. Olympic Committee is in trouble. The committee has until Sept. 18 to notify the International Olympic Committee of the makeup of the Yank track and field team. The rule applies to every member nation as well. Final Trials Scheduled Before then, the committee plans to hold a final trials at a high altitude training base near Lake Tahoe (Calif.), from Sept. 9 to Sept. 17 the various athletes, including about 50

Negores, will compete, from eight to 12 in each event, to determine the final three who will go to Mexico City. Edwards and his group, which numbers just about the world’s best in the 100 and 200 meter dashes, the long jump, triple jump and the hurdles, can do any on^of a number of things. They ^can decide to go to Tahoe and then call their boycott. They can go to Lake Tahoe, make the final team and call a boycott after the Sept. 18 deadline. Trophy on display A trophy won by “The Characters” during the 19C8 Women’s Indiana State Bowling Tournament in Terre Haute March 2 through May 5, is now on display at Varsity Lanes.

Kaline to 1st base By JOE GERGEN UPI Sports Writer A1 Kaline has successfully made the transition from class 1A to position IB. Kaline, the smooth star who has been the class of the Detroit outfield for the past 15 years, began his major league career all over again Monday night when he put on a first baseman’s glove and played his very first game at that position. The success of the switch was outstanding if measured by the Tigers’ 5-1 victory over the California Angels, moderate if measured by Kaline’s runproducing single which sent Detroit into a 2-1 lead and at least ordinary if measured by his defensive play, which included a few awkward moments and one error. The shift of Kaline, who came off the disabled list earlier in the day after a five-week layoff due to a fractured bone in his forearm suffered May 25 in Oakland, overshadowed two homers by All-Star catcher Bill Freehan and a dazzling 14strikeout performance by Mickey Lolich.

Fillmore raps Indians, 2-1

Fillmore toppled Reelsville in a Cloverdale Baseball League game on the Cloverdale diamond, Sunday, by a score of 2-1. Greencastle and Gosport played to a 5-5 tie. With half of the season completed, Fillmore remains on top with four wins and one loss. Cloverdale displays a record of three wins, one loss and one tie. Fillmore had two runs and four hits, while Reelsville recorded one run and one hit. It was a’ pitchers’ duel, with John Tharp throwing for Fillmore and Willie Rowan hurling for Reelsville. Tharp struck out 15 men, walked two and hit one. Rowan struck out 15 men and walked two. Mark Tharp was catcher for Fillmore, Spicer was catcher for Reelsville.

After 7 p.m.,you can call anywhere in the country for a dollar.

All long distance callers worth their salt know that calling in the daytime is more expensive than calling in the evening hours. (Actually, most people call during the day, when we charge our regular rates.) But long distance callers aren’t interested in explanations. The only thing they care about is calling for

the cheapest possible price. So to get more for their money, they devised a scheme you might call The Waiting Game. The idea is to do just what the name implies: Wait and wait and wait and wait. Because they know if they can hold out till after 7 p.m. or any time of the day on Saturday

or Sunday, they can call anywhere in the country for a dollar or less.* Which just goes to prove that anybody can afford to call long distance. Provided they know how to play The Game. General fBlepiione A dollar goes a long way.

pace with the Tigers by beating Minnesota 4-1, the Chicago White Sox defeated Baltimore 63, the Boston Red Sox blanked Oakland 3-0 and the Washington Senators edged New York 3-1 in other AL games. St. Louis topped Los Angeles 5-1, Cincinnati outlasted Houston 3-2 in 11 innings, Atlanta whipped San Francisco 5-1 and Philadelphia clipped Chicago 6-4 in the only National League games scheduled. The first grounder to Kaline was a hard-hit ball by Vic Davalillo and it resulted in a fine play by the fledgling first baseman. But in the seventh inning he was charged with an error when he pulled his foot off the bag stretching to the home plate side of rist for a throw from third baseman Dick Tracewski.

“I thought I had him,” he said, “but I really don’t have enough experience at first to tell on plays like that.” Kaline, however, is plenty experienced at the plate and it was there, that he made his most significant contribution of the night by stroking a line single in the sixth inning to drive home Mickey Stanley, who had tripled, with the tiebreaking run. McDowell Wins Eighth Lou Johnson and Russ Snyder, obtained in separate trades within the 1st three weeks, each drove in two runs for the Indians and helped Sam McDowell gain his eighth win. Johnson, making his first appearance in Cleveland, hit a pair of solo homers and Snyder singled in runs in the second and sixth innings. McDowell

yielded only two hits and struck out 11 in 7 1-3 innings. Buddy Bradford hit two homers and Luis Aparicio one as the White Sox scored five runs in the first two innings and held on to beat the Orioles. Chicago scored four runs in the first inning, three of them

undarned as the result of lioog Powell’s error. Brooks Robinson and Curt Blefary homered for the Orioles. Reggie Smith sine led in one run and scored a second on Rico Petrocelli’s single during a two-run sixth inning which helped the Red Sox beat the A’s.
