BOWLING
With ROD THOMAS

Jimmy Dietsch of Baltimore,
one of the country's Sharpest
duckpin bowlers. came to the
final game Of the Tony Santini
Open last night at the Green
way Bowl needing only 1903 to
win.
Throughout the previous five
games it seemed he could do
little wrong. At the end of three
his. score was 435; after five it
was TIA. Victory seemed assured.
But missing in that final game
was what Dietsch terms "a lit
tie helper"
Many duckpin victories and
not a few records have come with
the assistance of the little
helper" It's an Grant pin, a
stick that somehow finds it's way
into another. an important one.

For four boxes Dietsch

Sontee dnd AAU Bigwigs
In Court Again Friday

NEW YORK, Mar. S (P.-
Yves Santee has won his first test
against the Amateur Athletic
Union and his first race since
getting a temporary injunction
against the AAU, but Friday the
whole thing comes up for anoth-
er airing.
The New York State Supreme
Court will hear Santee, Amer
ica's fastest miller, and his attor-
ney, Charles P. Grimes, Friday to
decide whether it should make
permanent the temporary in
junction issued last Thursday
that held up the AAU's lifetime
suspension against Santee.
But even if the court rules for
Santee and allows him to run as
an amateur in the United States,
things look dark for his chances
of making the Olympic Games.
The Olympics are run by the
international Olympic Commit
tee, headed by Avery Brundage,
and the IOC is not bound by New
York laws or court decisions.
Santee, former Kansas star
now in the Marines stationed
at Quantico, Va, had the tenn
porary injunction upheld by an
appellate court Saturday, ena-
bling him to run the Knights
|of Columbus Games at Madison
Square Garden. He won in
Abb, running only against Ed
Kirk, former Georgetown athlete
now in the Air Force, and Dick
Shea of the Army.
Santee next is entered in the
Milwaukee Journal Games Sat-
urday and needs to have the
injunction made permanent so
he can run there, too.
:, The other runners entered in

urday were scared away despite
the court order and ran in a
special race won by Ron Delany
IVillanova sophomore from Ire
land, in Alb. Delany and Jim
Baily of Oregon, an Australian,
have the rules of their own
countries to abide by, and the
Others apparently were worried
about reaction from the Inter-
national Olympic Committee and
the International Amateur Ath-
letic Federation.
Those two organizations are
not bound by New York laws or
court decisions, but they do run
the Olympic Games. And even
If Santee wins in court again,
/ it will be a problem for the other
runners whether they should
compete with him at Milwaukee.
Brundage, president of the
Olympic Committee, apparently
is the one who scared off most
of the runners after the court
forced the AAU to back down.
Before the Columbian Mile was
run, Brundage declared from
California:
IF l were those amateurs, I
wouldn't run against Santee."
Thas was enough, the others
ducked out.
The public apparently is all for
Santee. The crowd of 10000
cheered him Saturday and booed
the field in the special" mile
race for those who ducked him.
But even if Santee wins his court
case Friday, it seems likely the
IOC will bar him, and apparently
there's no court of appeals that
can stop such an international
body.

with only two frames to- go.
He got it in the ninth, a clean
strike.
But still a healthy count was
necessary.
Dietsch hit the headpin toe
thin and left up five pins. clus-
tered in the right corner. With
the second ball, he counted only
two. Remaining were three sticks
in a row. To win, he needed two.
AS Jimmy let go with the third
ball it was obvious he'd miss the
key stick, with the roll too far
to the right.
Would it take out the middle
pin, or sweep off the back two?
Not until the ball reached the
pins was the uncertainty ended.
It spilled the two, and Dietsch
was home with the bacon by the
closest possible margin.
He collected 5000, and ear
marked it for a hospital bill.
His young son is i'll.
The man he beat was John

that was his thinking.

carrying a briefcase alighted from the

where he remained in earnest conversa-
ton with the old man for some time
while they pored over drawings and
papers the man took from his brief

grabbed his battered old hat and darted
out, slamming the door behind him. He
hurried into his ancient flivver and
chugged across town to the hotel, where
he got the number of the Blake's room
from the desk clerk In a few minutes
he stood before the door knocking.
''You!"' Tim grunted in surprise when
he opened the door.
Nov, Mr.. Blake" LOOMS said hur-
ridly as Tim started to push the door
shut. 81 came to make a deal with you
on the Akers place"
''No dice!" Tim responded angrily.
81 heard how you've sold that place
over and over for years and bought
it back each time for practically moth

bit with the pictures and all. I've.
been thinking it over, and if you'll just
let me come in and talk it over, I'm
ready to see that you get every cent
back you paid for the place."
TIM REGARDED HIM suspiciousIy,
then moved aside reluctantly for him
to enter.
Ann sat in a chair by the window
reading. She looked up briefly as Loom
is entered, doffing his hat and nodding
to her before he turned back to Tim.

Tim. That's fair enough, isn't it?''
Tins mouth opened to speak, but
AIMS voice cut in smoothly. ''Sorry,
Mr.. LOOMS. We've decided to hang
onto the place. she said. ''We think it
can be fixed up to be just what we
wanted all the time"
Tins jaw dropped as he swiveled his
head towards her. ''We-we did," he
said. Ann nodded complacently.

shrewdly well now, tell you what
I'll do. You folks have been put to q
