Veeck. president of the st. Louis

to Baseball Commissioner Ford

ing for a committee to run the
Redbirds
Saigh, sentenced this week to
Is months in prison for income

Veeck, however. was very much in
prominence. After being rebuffed
on all sides by his colleagues,
the dynamic Browns boss was
closeted with Frick for 80 min
utes, pleading his case before the
commissioner.
Neither Veeck nor Frick would
comment on the nature of their
discussion, but it was no secret
that Veeck appealed to Frick to
intercede in his television squab-
BILE with the New York Yankees,
Cleveland Indians and Boston

the $4,000 Tucson Open golf
tournament today at the end of

Bolt was almost in difficulty
on the Par 4, 343-yard fourth
hole when his drive stopped
about three feet from the trunk
of tree that partly obscured the
green. His wedge shot dropped
near the flag and he pared the
hole.
Bolts four brides came on the
9th, 10th, 18th and 18th holes.
Harrison's two-under-par SO
today was his highest round of
the tourney.
Perhaps I didn't deserve
those scores in the first two
rounds, but I deserved better
than a SO today" Harrison said.
Il played better golf but the
puts wouldn't go down."
Luck didn't entirely abandon
him. His second shot to the
513-yard 18th hole was short
His approach was long. The ball
bounced off the green, hit the
press table. and bounded back
three or four yards. He Clipped
on and sank his putt for a par s.
