STAUNTON, Va, June 13
(AP).-Experience, not youth,

year-old Chandler Harper
posted a 10-under-par total of
278 to defeat 20-year-old Fred
die Miller for a record-tying
sixth Virginia State Open golf

Miller finished the four-day

would have won the last two

per's final 10 yesterday, four
times coming within two strokes
Of overtaking him, but Harper
was not to be caught. A missed
4-foot putt that would have
given him a birdie 3 on the 14th

point for young Miller.
Harper's putting skill saved
him on his last round, enabling
him to tie Bobby Cruickshank' S

have two more cracks at the
Schoolboy title in his junior and
senior years.
There have been several two
time winners of the tourna-
ment, including Billy Shea,
Alton Willett, Sid Lanier,
Bubby Worsham, Wolfe, and
Deane Beman, but nobody has
won it three times.
Gavin, a junior varsity
basketball player at Walter
johnson, was runnerup in the
l4-and-under flight in the
schoolboy championship last
year.
The title match was more
one-sided than the score in
dicates. Gavin won four of the
first five holes as Boone, playing
over his home course, couldn't
do anything right.
Boone won the 9Th with a
15-foot putt for a par four
after playing a delicate ap-
proach from a roadway, but
he lost the 10th to go four
down, and he was four down
with four to play.
Danny extended the match
by winning No. Is when Gavin
was trapped, and Boone almost
made a hole-in-one on the 10th
to stay alive. They halved the
18th in par fours.
Gavin hit two balls against
the fence on the sixth hole and
finally picked up. Giving him
"a seven there, he would have
been eight over par for the II
holes. Boone, who had the only
two brides of the match, on
the 18th and Is, won those
two holes and the sixth by TWO
strokes each, so actually he
was only seven over for the II
holes.
Gavin has considerable poise
for a 15-year-old. Griesmer
believes he's the best young
golfer here since Beinan.
Both contestants stepped up
and hit most of their shots
without too much delay, ex-
cept for puts. They leaned
on their caddies, Gavin on
Ricky Billingsley and Boone on
Marty CARRIER, for advice on
every putt down to inches.
On some of the puts it ap-
peared that Billingsley and
CARRIER were going to putt, in
stead of the contestants.

Continued From Page Ais
the White Sox came in fourth,
fifth and sixth.
The naming Of Higgins. who
had been retained by the Red
Sox as a special assistant"
operating out of the Southwest,
climaXed a strange series of de-
velopmentS in the Boston front
office.
Higgins successor, Bill Jur-
geS, was given. several votes of
confidence by General Manager
Bucky Harris and Yawkey, the
first of which came at the end
OF a l0-game losing streak. Two
more followed, nIghlighted by
the rare appearance of Yawkey
in the Fenway Park press box
to underscore his mimeographed
statement and chastise the
press for Second-guesSing him.
On the afternoon of June s.
the Red Sox announced Jurges
had been given a temporary
leave after a doctors examina-
tion. Jurges was under too
much pressure and would be
relieved of command for an
indefinite period, with Coach
Del Baker becoming interim
manager, the statement said.
Confidence of Players
Two days later Jurges was
given his unconditional release.
Harris said the Red Sox would
take their time finding the right
man.
The right man" proved to be
Higgins, who has the confidence
OF many of his players and a
thorough knowledge of the per-
sonnel and farm system.
y In eight years of managing
Red Sox farm teams. begin
ming at Glass B Roanoke in
1947, Higgins, the third-base
veteran of Boston's last pen
nant winner Q946), was in the
first division seven times and
fifth place once.
Named to succeed Lou Bou-
dreau, Higgins teams had a
360-330 record in Boston from
1855 until mid-1959. In four
full campaigns Boston was
fourth twice and third twice.
When he was replaced last
summer, the Sox had a 3l-43
mark, while Jurges finished out
the season 44-36.
Higgins returns on the same
"gentlemen's agreement" basis
with Yawkey he had previ-
ouSly. There is no contract,
40 written stipulation he will
go through the current season
or through 1861. The salary
flgure was not made public.
AT the time urges release
was announced, some unnamed
players said they had liked
Jurges but had not respected
him. What we need is a man
ager we can respect" one said.
When asked to name such a
man, they mentioned Higgins.
Lauded in 1855
In his first year, 1855, Hig-
gins weathered a severe slump
in the early days and led the
team in a June burst which
carried through August -chal-
longing the Yankees for the
lead-before willing to fourth.
Yawkey praised Higgins as
amazing" and lauded his pa
tince. The same patience could
not carry him through 1859.
Higgins boss knows the prob
lens of returning to a manage
rial job. Harris, the boy wonder

seasons, 1924-25, dropped to
