New York, July f4. (UP)-TIow would you like to contribute to Q small fund to purchase a dictionary, copy of Bartlett's quotations and a book of sirniles for James J. Dykes to aid him in his praiseworthy cam paign of telling of the umpires?
 As you no doubt know, Manager Dykes of the Chicago White Sox has just returned to the baseball wars after being suspended because he referred to Umpire Steve Basil as a quote dash dash double dash so- and-so dash dash unquote. Your agent never has had the pleasure of meeting Mir. Basil, but there is no question that he was eminently in the right in his controversy with Dykes. Nevertheless, as an ardent baseball fan your agent believes the umpires should be told of regularly and the idea of equipptng some manager with choice phrases has been in bis mind for some time.
 Know Their Stuff
 Three men were in line for the honor at the start of this season. Manager Frankie Frisch of the Pirates, Manager Leo Durocher of the Dodgers and Dykes. Each has his special qualifications for the job. FriSch is the best arm waver of the three and also excels in the im- memorial gesture of taking of his cap and throwing 1t on the ground in disgust.
 Durocher is the best at sheer hol- lering and also probably is superior to his rivals in sticking his jaw un- der an umpire'S nose.
 But for all-around umpire hating Dykes has no equal and he won the dictionary, the Bartlettys quota tions and the book of similes as soon as the news arrived that President will Harridge of the American League had suspended him. In weak moments Frisch and Durocher have been seen speaking to umpireS at a casual meeting on the street and there is an ugly rumor loose that Durocher once had the khost of pleasant smile on his lips on one such occasion.
 None of that stuff for Dykes. He hates umpires on the field, off the field, in daylight and darkness, win- ter and summer. He hates them so much that 1t is dangerous to go

Phil WrigIey Reported Ready to Sell Cubs But Far ley's Flop in Yankee Deal Proves That Kind of
 Money Is Hard 10 Find Now

his first mistake letting Billy Herman so to the Brooklyns for a song and questionable material.
 Larry MacPhail says that with out Herman the Dodgers would now be as far out of first place as they are In front.
 Gallagher didn't help Jimmy Will son in his first year as manager with the deal. The club got off bad ly. The customers soured on the 40- year-old hero of the 194o world series.
 Cubs lost $23o,ooo last season, and they declare the deficit will be 135o,- 900 this trip.
 Wanting to dispose of property so valuable and selling it are two en- tirely different things, however, especially in these times.
 By the way, whatever became of Jim Farley's plan to purchase the Yankees?
 If Joe DiMaggio and the Yankees keep going, the Ruppert Estate won't have to sell them.
 They'll be such a paying proposi- ton that they'll cover that in herit- ance tax and all.

near him if you happen to be wear ing a blue serge suit.
 Unbiased reports on the clash of wills between Dykes and Umpire aBsil indicate that the White Box Manager used up almost all of his best phrases. Claiming that some members of the Cleveland Indians in the bull pen had interfered with the attempt of Outhelder Taft Wright to catch foul, Dykes went to work on aBsil without even tak- ing his cigar out of his mouth. Then he got warmed up, removed the cigar and stepped up the tempo.
 Got the Thumb
 Basil thumbed him out of the game and then Dykes really went to town, using what he modestly called some choice language" By the time he had finished, his stock of ex- pletives was woefully low. It Is to re- place some of the phrases that he used and build up an adequate rec serve for the remainder of the sea. son that the campaign for the books has been started.
 It should be source of quiet sat- isfaction to the fans, who occasiorl- ally dencunce umpires themselves, to know that Dykes will be glad to take that task of their shoulders. Give him about a week to bone up on the books. and the American IeapiIe Iin1uires will get the business in fine, flowing phrases of Eliza- bethan English. Next year there will be whole new program for Dykes. He will spend the winter studying foreign languages and on the open ing day of the season he will walk up to an umpire and call him Q sao-diran-cpoca, which, in Q free translation from the Sanskrit, "near-sighted bum."

VIC GHEzzI WINS PCA GOLF CROWN
 TWICE AT HILLS
NeIsOn's Foul Disregarded d on Last Green of 38
 Hole Match
BY STEVE SNYDER

United Press Stan COETespO pOmdemtl
 Denver, July IA eUP.) - Vic Ghexzi, the guy they called . l1ncrn- ing glory, brought Q quick end to- day to 6 dispute over the 36th hole on which Inc won the Professional Golfers Association championship from Byron Nelson in a grueling title match at Cherry Hills.
 We made up our own rules" Ghexzi said. 'Maybe what we did isn't in the P. c. A. rule books, but 1t was good enough for Nelson and me.
 What did happen never before has come up in Q P. c. A. tournament. For Q hectic few monaents--as c gale lery of 5000 pressed around the 3eth green---it appeared Ghezzi had won the title on @ foul from man who still is regarded among men who make their living from golf as the greatest match player in tho game. Actually, Ghe1zi did win the cham pionship when Nelson blew @ putt of two and 6 half feet under the severest sort of pressure.
 Here 1t was at 4:50 D. m. Sunday.
 Dramatic Finish
 0hezzi, notorious for folding up under pressure, just had rallied to win three holes from Nelson and headed into an overtime match. As they approached the 3eth green ali even, Ghezzi clipped his ball two and 6 half feet from the pin, slight ly to the right and Nelson followed with ali approach the same distance from the cup to the left of Ghezzi's ball. The two were not more than a foot apart.
 Golf rules stipulate that the man farthest from the hole butts first and Nelson carefully measured the distance by every available means. Failing to determine the honor by measurement, Nelson tossed Q coin and, winning the toss, decided to hole out first. As he addressed the ball his foot touched Ghezzi's ball and under the match play code the match was forfeited to Qhezzi.
 There was no argument between us," 0hezzi said. T told Byron be- fore he went over to his ball to move mine and mark the spot if it was In his way. When he touched it with his foot, he proved 1t was in the way, that's all."
 Won Title Twice
 Nelson and Ghexzi took It in stride, but tournament officials were prepared to bring the match to an embarrassing end if dhezxi had pro- tested. As 1t Is, Ghezzi still remains as the only man ever to win the P. o. A. title twice on the same day. After . hurried huddle by tourna- ment officials, the scorer agreed to move Ghezzi's ball, call of the dis- qualification which appeared to be in order and permitted Nelson to putt. He missed, Ghezzi, didn't and the match was over.
 By his victory, 0hezzl, Q 2o-year- old Italian who got his start under Open Champion Craig Wood ct Deal, N. J., boosted his winnings to S3,l00 for the year. The P. c. A. title is worth SLIGO.

BY PAUL SCHEFFELS Limited Press Staff CorrespOndent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, July 14-(UP)-Foot- ball occupies little space in the sports picture at the current torrid temperatures but don't tell that to coach Wallace Wade down ct Duke University in Durham, N. c.
 Wade, whose record gets more impressive as the years roll along, forwards the news that football discussions during the 11th annual Duke University summer school for coaches, to be held July 2l-26 inclusive, will feature the kicking game.
 His lectures and demonstrations will cover al departments of kick ing, including protection of the kicker, the covering of kicks, the returning of kicks and the blocking of kicks.
 Down through the years this has been a vital department of Wade's gridiron technique. During his first season at Alabama, the Crimson Tide played team that made q first downs to Alahama's none but due to the superb kicking fo Grant Gilis, Alabama gained scoreless tie.
 Produced Tipt0n, Parker
 Some of his other great kickers have been "Wu" Winslett, John Cain, Harry Rossiter, Ace Parker and Erie Tipton. The latter won fame because of his great per- formance in the Pittsburgh game of 1888 which Duke won, To, to complete perfect season.
 While kicking will be stressed, other department of play also will be discussed, including all phase of line play, blocking, tackling and other fundamentals.
 The football course will be the feature of the school but three other sports on the program have aroused advance interest-basket- ball under Eddie Cameron and track and training under Bob Chambers.
 Defense in Basketball Cameron'S basketball sessions always have been well attended. AAAAS JSo4 SAiSAC VIII pC SRCCldI tl~ terest in his discussion of defen- sive maneuvers in view of the per- formance of his team of the past winter n stopping North Caro- ltna's high-scoring outfit and then going on to win the Conference championship. Cameron laid down defense that gave his Blue Devils Victroy over the Tar Heels in the final regular season game and then in the first round of the an- nual Conference tournamnet.
 The course on track, conducted by Chambers, also will draw its share of attention. Chambers took 16-man squad to the Conference meet and won the championship His squad also won the Floridas Relay title and his quarter-mile relay team took the Penn Relays title.
 Chambers also will have charge of the traniing course, assisted by members of the Duke hospital staff, including Dr. Lenox D. Baker, for mer trainer at Tennessee and Duke, who has won national fame in or- thopedicS.
