drove In four runs and Gail
Harris hit a two-run homer
for the Tigers. seventh after
a skid from second while losing
nine of IL.
The Tigers denied the beam
ing Of Duren was deliberate,
but some Of the Yankee play
ers were sure that it was. One
New York player said Foytack
looked into the Tiger dugout
just before he threw the ball. 8
Bill Norman, Detroit mana
ger, said: II would never tell
any pitcher TO throw at any
batter. Sure. the pitchers
brush the batters back-that's
baseball. But I wouldn't want
my pitchers throwing at any,
body. You could kill or MAIN
a guy doing that"
Says No Signal Given
Norman said he was in the
dugout runway smoking q ciga-
rette when Duren was felled.
Pitching Coach Willis Hudlin
said the Tiger bench was rid
ing Duren" about the Kaline
incident two innings before but
added that no one told Foytack
to throw at the Yankee pitcher
There was a lot of yelling
going on" he explained. but
there was no signal of any kind
and I'm sure no one gave Paul
orders to hit Duren."
Foytack, too, denied he threw
at Duren. II was just trying to
get out Of the inning" he said,
"and the pitch got away from
me-"
DR.. Whitaker quoted Duren
as saying that he bore no re-
sentiment toward Foytack.
He's certain it was entirely
unavoidable on Foytack's part, /"
DR.. Whitaker said.
Rookie Milt Pappas hit the

PATIENTS COMPLAINT:
MY drives keep getting
wilderl"
DIAGNOSIS: Careless lining
up.
TREATMENT: II all golfers
aimed their drives as carefully
as they do the short shots on
which they know they can
reach the pin, they'd spend far
less time in the rough. The
trouble seems TO be that few
players realize the importance
Of careful aiming on long-hole
Jee-shots.
Oh, they realize 1t after they
get in the rough and ruin the
chance of a good score on the
hole! But then, Of course. It's
too late.
On the drive, line UP care
fully. Check your feet, hips and
shoulders TO see that every
things lined up right. Then
pick out a spot on the fairway
and try to put the ball on that
spot. True. you won't often be
able TO hit the spot you pick
out. But the point is that you're
apt to come fairly near to
hitting 1t. And that will likely
leave you somewhere in the
fairway.
Try for perfection. The few
times you achieve it you'll be
in excellent shape of the tee.
When you don't, you're at least
apt to be pretty we'll of!

deep slump for the sS-year-old
pro who won three tournaments
In 1855 and hasn't been 10 the
pay window too often since.
But Player was the star Of
the par breakers, South Afri-
can, who idolizes Ben gogan
and who learned a lot from
South Africa's greatest player.
Bobby Locke. hit all 10 greens
In regulation figures. But the
modest youngster belittled that
as he said that with green's as
big as Mount Peasants you
never should miss a green.
Player had II pars and four
birdie puts. ranging from rs
feet TO inch. He hits a Hogan
like fade, and when he drives
the ball he puts everything into
It. One OF the pros. not exactly
a Player fan. said Gary can't
last because he has TO hit at
the ball too hard because Of his
size.
The four at so were headed
by Art Wall Of Pocono Manor,
Pa. who has been first and
second in two Of the last three
tournaments. The others were
Lionel Hebert of Lafayette. La,
last years PGA champion:
Walker Inman of Eglin Air
Force Base, Fla, and Wesley
Ellis Of Ridgewood. N. j.
John ODonnell, the host pro,
played with Bolt and outplayed
Tommy in posting a 70 that
led the Middle Atlantic players.
Lionel Hebert's brother Jay
Of Sanford, Fla. also was
among those who posted 10
after Is holes in the 72-hole
grind running through Sunday.
Beman Tops Amateurs
Bethesdas Deane Beman
topped the amateurs with an
extremely well-played II and
then spent a couple of hours
on the practice tee trying to
develop a slight hook instead
of fighting a fade from the
wet fairways.
Deanels only DOGGY was on
the 10th, a par S he mad hoped
to birdie, but on which he sent
a wedge shot of to the right.
He almost made a hole-in-one
on IL, and knocked a chip
dead on the par five l4th.

characters and a situation
which is decidedly unusual,
but certainly could happen.
Sam Bowden is a conserva-

medium-sized city. He has a
wife and three children, and
they live in the country.
When Sam was young army
officer, stationed in Aus
tralia he rescued a girl from

was a GIL, a sergeant, and
Sans testimony sent him up
for life. The sergeant served

1t used to be. not many
years ago. that books about
cats were rare. Carl Van
Vechten was a pioneer in the
field. But now there are many
books about cats every year
guides to the care of these
pets, histories of them, fan
tastes. The onetime rather
apologize cat lover seems to
have taken the offensive.
TRANSACTIONS FROM
THE SIAMESE, by Warren
Chetham STROBE (McGraw-
Hill: $685. is a novel about a
family of Siamese cats be-
longing to an English novelist
and his wife. Or did the
couple belong to the cats?
Siamese cats, as all who
have had contact with them
know, are very articulate.
The writer and his wife come
to feel that they can under
stand much of what the cats
are saying. Certainly the cats
can translate everything the
couple say.
This is a light and amusing
story.

spare no rods and call spades
what they are in the process
of raising sons in the patri-
archal mold, A growing boy
needs physical labor to cope
with his sex drives and DR..
Peck advocates an existence
in which teen-age youth is
not excluded from society
through enforced idleneSS.
There is very little in life

which DR.. Peck does not feel
strongly. He tells how to grow
old gracefully, how to invest,
how to retire, how to buy
a house, how to get along
with your wife (treat her like
a Cadillac) and how to keep
your own engine from run
ming down.
The whole dosage is coated
so richly with laughter and

of either sex will escape with
out some of the good medico's
prescription reaching their
mark.
He has a formula which
stood him in good stead: He
was raised well and he picked
his wife carefully. After
that. one would agree, it's
pretty well in Gods hands.

"Crack of Doom" is q dis
passionate indictment of war,
all the more powerful for the
detached way it is set down.
The narrative, at least as it
comes through in transla-
ton, has swift suspense, even
a nimble touch rarely asso-
ciated with German writing.
1t seems to me that this is a
major war novel, its small
scope a microcosm typical Of
