5TH ED, EB. ORD ED. The Hartford Courant WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1960 With Malice Toward None By BILL LEE Sports Editor I IN Griffith THE and NATIONAL myself were Amateur keenly at lost his second round match to a Hoenig had beaten Joe Carr, British Amateur, the day before a boyish young fellow named Deane D. C. area, the unknowing 'among to be practically in the third For quite: a while it was DEANE BEMAN Don Hoenig to the sidelines at He won the British Amateur in 1959 States Amateur to his conquests.
BEMAN BELONGS WITH THE Now there is not the slightest Deane Beman in competitive great players have won both the teur championships and in the won championships on both sides of three years. Dick Chapman, for example, American title at Winged Foot Amateur. Harvey Ward won the before winning the U. S. championship Willie Turnesa got the double in 1947 and the American a year imposing job in the competitions ning both British and American 1934 and 1935.
Curiously, Bob Jones which was in 1930. the vear he slam by winning the American England with the two British crowns Brookline three years ago, Owen disappointed when Don Hoenig man of no particular reputation. the Irishman who had won the and when he was drawn against Beman from the Washington, us considered our man Hoenig round. Hoenig's match. Well after the turn, the Connecticut man had a 3- hole lead, but near the end it began to" slip away from him.
Beman kept getting pars and, if I remember correctly, he threw in a birdie or two as well. In any event, he was ready to take instant advantage of the mistakes Hoenig made and. ultimately caught his man on the eighteenth to square the match. On the second nd extra hole, Beman won the match. The name meant little to us at the time.
We checked. of course, and found out the nervy little guy was no lucky chopper but had built up considerable reputation in Washington and Baltimore tournaments. Deane Beman's name has meant a great deal more to every golf writer in the country in the three seasons that have elapsed since he drummed The Country Club outside Boston. and last week added the United ELITE doubt concerning the stature of amateur golf. Only a handful of British and United States amalast decade only Harvey Ward of the Atlantic within a period waited 11 years after winning the before gaining his first British honors in Great Britain in 1952 in 1955 and 1956.
a year apart. winning the British later. Lawson Little did the most on both sides of the ocean, championships successively in won only one British Amateur. rounded out his marvelous grand amateur title after returning from of that year in his possession. PALMIER DIDN'T STAY LONG American amateur golf at a nalional level has fallen on evil days.
not because there aren't just as many fine players but because most of the good ones are in a rush to turn pro. Certainly Gene Littler, Arnold Palmer, Charles Coc, Harvey Ward. Jack Nicklaus Deane Beman compare favorably with any.of the fine amateur champions of earlier vears. Players like teur champions of recent time are certainly as good as those who come along every four years or a anything like that, but the Chick Evans. Francis Quimet, Bob Jones and Lawson Little do held title in the last 25 years.
Arnold Palmer won the United States Amateur in 1954 and promptly turned pro. Now he is just about the best golfer in the world. Gene Littler won it the year before Palmer did and now is one of the big money winners of the tour. Gene would have lost his amateur standing at Las Vegas even if he hadn't won a quarter anywhere else. Sammy Urzetta and Billy Maxwell are other National Amateur champions who quickly turned to the game as a means of earning a livelihood.
Perhaps Deane Beman will remain an amateur a while. long with Jack Nicklaus, the fine player who won the 1959 championship. These boys could undoubtedly do well on the tour in time. but they must both realize that the professional woods are full of so many consistently low scoring players that it takes a touch of genius to make a decent living.

It will start next year with teams from South America, North America, Europe and Australia. The will be paid only their expenses. Officially the new competition i is to help the funds of the newly formed Professional Tennis Players' Assn. But it appeared that Kramer, after skimming much of the cream from European amateur ranks, is making a new move to challenge the supremacy of the amateur game.
He suffered a sharp set back last July when the International Tennis Federation threw out a plan for open tournaments. It seemed all but settled that his professionals would be playing at Wimbledon and other big interna tional events next year, alongside amateur stars. Several countries were believed to have voted against open tournaments becuase they might affect the Davis Cup, limited by its constitution to amateurs. Since the open tournament plan fell through, Kramer has been going around with an open check book. He's signed Andres Gimeno of Spain, Kurt Nielsen of Denmark, Robert Haillet of France and Mike Davies of Britain in a bid to give his troupe a more international appeal.
Italy's Nicola Pietrangeli is reported all ready to follow as soon as Italy is out of the Davis Cup. Kramer threw a press luncheon today to announce the new cup. Tony Trabert, American tennis star and vice president of the Professionals' gave out the details. "We're calling it the Kramer Cup." Trabert said. "We realize the use of Jack's name will cause resentment and conflict among certain throughout the world.
But after all these petty jealousies are over in the next five or ten years, we think it would be a pity not to have his name on the cup." Trabert said that although the new competition will start with four zonal teams, these might be broken down into national teams later if more professionals are available. And it might be open to amateurs if open tournaments are accepted. Kramer hinted that his circus. which now has 16 players, may expand further. "There is a possibility we may be talking with other players who are at present engaged in amateur he said cagily.
But he wouldn't name any stars he had in mind for signing, up. In recent months, American stars Earl (Butch) Buchholz and Barry MacKay and Mexican Rafael Osuna have all been mentioned as likely Kramer PGA May Drop Caucasian Rule And Open Ranks NEW YORK (UPI) Louis J. Leklkowitz, Attorney General of the State of New York, said Tuesday an investigation by his office has prompted a motion open membership in the Professional, Golfers Association (PGA) to persons other than members of the Caucasian race. Lefkowitz said Claude Harmon, president of the Metropolitan Sec-1 tion of the PGA, has submitted a memorandum to the PGA resolutions committee proposing that the words "caucasian race" be stricken from article 111, section 1 of the PGA constitution. The Attorney General called Harmon's motion "a great forward, worthy of a great sport.
Lefkowitz said the Metropolitan PGA action resulted from an ininvestigation by the civil rights bureau of his office, headed by Mrs. Shirley Adelson Siegel. He said the inquiry, which has been underway for several months. will continue. 87.2 86.9! Bill Steinkraus 93,1 83.8 61.8 Wins Trial Jump 83.3 73.4 C.

Coach Jordan Olivar recognizes the great balance in the Ivy and sees four or five teams contending for the the title won by a different team cach year.
He de-: finitely expects Yale to be one of them. Olivar also agrees with his publicity man. Charley Lotus. when the latter dubs Ivy League the "Yo-Yo League." meaning: that any team can go from all the way up to all the way down in one wear. Pyle Impressive Leader Eli strong points are a fearsome line from tackle to tackle.1 and excellent talent and depth at! the important quarterback and fullback positions.

Probably the best player on this Yale team will be strapping Alike Pyle. the captain.
A center for two years, Pyle has been moved to tackle by Olivar and his coach insists he is good enough to start for any Big Ten club.

"I am in this pennant race." declared 70-year-old Casey.
in what his rivals would consider an understatement in view of the big lead. "Right now I am working for the New York ball club." said Stengel. "I have a contract. and I will decide in October what will do." Reports that Stengel was going to call it a 50-vear career at the end of the current campaign have been circulating ever since spring training. Observers close to the club believe they probably true, but Casey himself has carefully avoided tipping his hand.
Ten pennants would tie Stengel with the late John J. McGraw, his one-time boss and idol, for honors as the top pennant-winning manager in major league history. Casey also would be shooting for his eighth world series championship. a department in which he holds the record. Should Stengel decide to step down, the current belief is that Ralph Houk is first in line to be his successor.
Houk, a former catcher and one-time major in the Army Rangers, has managed successfully in the Yankee farm system and has been a coach under Stengel for the past two years. Stengel. born in Kansas City and now a resident of Glendale. began his baseball career with Kankakee. of the North-: ern Association in 1910.
He played: in the major leagues with the Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phils, New York Giants. and Boston Braves.

Holland. PHILADELPHIA (UPD The front running Pittsburgh Pixates advanced a closer to clinching the National League penant Tuesday night with a 7-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a twinight doubleheader. Pittsburgh unloaded a 13 hit attack, which included Bil Virdon's eighth home run of the season, against loser Robin Roberts and his relievers, Chris Short and Dallas Green. Virdon had two other hits and a total of three runs batted in while Bill Mazeroski also had three hits for the winners. Bob Friend had an easy time in gaining his 17th victory against 11 defeats.
He lost a shutout when rookie third baseman Jim Woods opened Philadelphia's eighth with a home run, his first in the majors. Strikeout Records Friend allowed seven hits in picking up his fourth win in five decisions against the Phils. The loss was Roberts' fourth straight to Pittsburgh. A new major league club strikeout record was set in Philadelphia's fourth when Friend curved a third strike past Tony Taylor. It was the 990th strikeout for the Phillies and erased the old mark of 989 set by the Chicago Cubs in 1957.
Later the Phillies total went to 991 as Friend whiffed four more Phillies, Friend set a new Pittsburgh club strikeout record when he fanned the same Taylor in the eighth. It was his 177th of the year. wiping out the old standard of 176 set by Claude Hendricks 1912 when he won 24 and lost nine for the Bucs. Friend boosted his 1960 record to 178 when he got Woods on strikes to end the came.

the dians have been hit hard by injuries. Woodie Held, the slugging shortstop, was sidelined with an injury for 29 games after Dykes took over.

18 Giants Beat Cubs 5-2 To Complete Sweep of Series CHICAGO G7 Sam Jones, whose previous road successes were a pair of. victories at Philadelphia, scattered five hits Tuesday to give the San Francisco Giants a sweep of a three game series against the Chicago Cubs via a 5-2 payoff. It was the veteran curve baller's 17th win as he turned his fourth straight victory into his fourth taming of the Cubs this season. He has lost one of his 14 decisions to Chicago. The Giants wrapped up their 13th conquest of the Cubs in 20 games between the two teams with a three run fourth.
After Willie Kirkland singled for the first run third baseman Jimmy Davenport tripled for the next two. Fifth Consecutive Loss This was more than enough to saddle starter Dick Ellsworth with his fifth consecutive loss No. 13 among 19 decisions thus far. San Francisco scored -its first run in the first on shortstop Jose Pagan's double and Willie Mays' only safety in three official times at bat. The Giants' fifth run sprouted from Don Blasingame's scratch single to open the fifth ahead of his steal of second and progress to third on catcher Sammy Taylor's throwing error.
