Torrid Putter
Gives Beman
Rare Record
BY 8 star Staff Writer

DETROIT, June 17.-Deane
Beman's commendable show
ing in the National Open
championship at Oakland Hills,
74-72-72-7O for 28S, included a
feat equaled by few players in
the tournament, if any.
For the 72 holes over the
slick greens with the mounds
and undulations, Beman did
not three-putt a green.
He tied Alan Geiberger for
11th place, just one stroke toe
many to win an automatic
qualifying berth for next year
He won his first medal in six
National Open championships
since he was second low ANA
teur. Jack Nicklaus Of Ohio
State University was first with
284.
But he beat some pretty good
golfers, including three of the
four top choices, Arnold Pal
mer, Sam Snead and Ben Ho-
gan, and was only one stroke
back of Gary Player.
Fine Putting Form
Deane said his afternoon 10
came within a 412-foot putt on
the fourth hole of being the
finest putting round Of his life,
He had 10 one-putt greens, in
cluding some long ones, but the
puts were smacking the center
of the cup.
By contrast, he made only one
putt of any size in his morning
70. although he Clipped in for
a birdie three on the fifth hole.
The National Amateur cham
pion from Bethesda Country
Club said he would not play in
the Maryland Amateur next
week at Chevy Chase.
Beman'S main stumbling
block for the week was the
back-breaking 18th hole, a par
five until cut to a four for this
tournament. He didn't have a
par there in any of the four
rounds.
Just Missed An Ace
His 288 total, eight over par,
and one stroke over Ben Ho-
gan's winning total here 10
years ago, included three dou-
BILE bogeys. Two came in a row
on the back nine the first day.
Beman missed a hole-in-one
by four inches on the list hole.
He cut a sparkling three-wood
shot to the pin and the crowd
around the green roared as the
ball kept coming for the hole,
and then screamed as it ap-
peared the ball would drop. 1t
settled four inches to the left
of the cup. That left Beman
needing a four for a SO, but he
pushed his four-wood shot on
the 18th, approached weakly,
and his 18-foot putt settled on
the lip of the cup. The crowd
around the 18th moaned be-
cause it didn't drop.-WHIT-
TLESEY.

Shortstop Jim Mahoney, Third
Baseman Danny O'Connell and
Leftfielder Woodling.
The Senators roared back in
the second. O'Connell walked
and Chuck Hinton raped a
single between short and third.
Woodling rammed a 2-and-2
pitch about 420 feet for his
fifth home run. Tasby hit a
single to right centerfield and
Gene Green sent him home
with a line double down the
leftfield foul line.
Tasby Clears Wall
Woodling and Dale Long
flied deep in the fifth and
TaSby followed with a shot
that scared over the high left
field wall and bounced against
a roof outside the park.
That made it 5-1 and even
when the Red Sox came up
with an unearned- run in their
fifth, there was no fidgeting
on the Washington bench.
Schilling got on first when his
ground ball Travelled up Ma
honey'S arm, and he scored on
a double by Geiger.
NOTES: The official scorer
reversed a decision on last
nights game and credited Hin
ton with his ninth stolen base.
The original ruling gave him
second base on an error.
The Red Sox will hold their
annual "father-son" game to-
morrow in recognition of
Fathers Day. A publicity re-
lease put out today listed Vic
Wertz as the sons manager"
Vic presumably is something
like a vice mayor.

new 8-3. He gave up 10 hits.
The Reds had the makings
of another big inning in the
ninth. They filled the bases
with one out, but Schmidt
struck out and Purkey flied out.

climaXed a four-run SiXth-in-
ming for Boston, were two
home runs by the Senators.
Gene Woodling rammed the
ball over the rightfield bullpen
into the fifth row of seats to
score three runs in a fonr-run
third inning. Willie TaSby
clouted one high over the left
field fence with nobody on in
the fifth, to give Pitcher Joe
McClain a ST. lead.
But, for the second straight
time the Senators blew Sizable
margins. They watched a 60
advantage disappear in a losing
effort last night and must
sweep tomorrow'S double
header to break even in the
four-game series.
Double Header Ends Series
Carl Matthias, a southpaw
just brought up from Toronto,
will pitch tomorrow's first
game for the Senators against
Ike O'clock (4-2). Righthander
Dick Donovan (3-5), winner Of
his last three, or Pete Burn
side, the clubs other lefty, will
pitch the second game. Gene
Conley, the towering basket
ball star, will go in the night
cap for the Red Sox.
McClain, Wa shington S
rookie exponent of control
pitching. was cruising along
with a So lead when things
suddenly got messy in the
sixth.
With one out, Jackie Jensen
sent a wicked line shot that
bounced off McClain'S pitching
hand for an infield single. Time
was taken to administer first
aid. but the injury apparently
was not serious enough to take
McClain out of action.
Frank Malone smashed a
double to leftfield, moving Jen-
sen to third. McClain got Russ
Nixon, the lefthanded-hitting
catcher, on a pop fly, but Don
Buddin slapped q single over
second base to score both run
ners and cut the margin to
5-4.
Manager Mike Higgins called
on Pagliaroni to hit for Galen
Cisco, the starting pitcher, a
move calculated to confuse
amateur baseball strategists.
The sophomore catcher, a .230
hitter. bats righthanded and
starts against lefthanded pitt
chers. But against right handed
McClain, he swung at the first
pitch and the ball went over
the high fence near the left
field foul line.
First Victory for Cisco
Chet Nichols blanked the
Senators on four hits over the
remaining three innings to pre-
serve for Cisco, recently pur-
chased from Seattle, his first
major league victory. He lost
his only other start to the
Twins.
Manager Mickey Vernon,
seeing logic in Higgins strategy,
used it himself in the Washing
ton eighth when he called on
lefty Jim King to hit for Nc
Claim against southpaw Nichols.
There were two on and one out.
The strategy failed this time,
as King hit into a double play.
Marty Kutyna finished up for
the Senators, retiring the six
men he faced. McClain lost his
fifth against six victories
though the Senators outhit the
Sox, 11-8. They also got more
hits in the Friday night game
but lost.
The Red Sox took a 10 lead
in the first. Chuck Schilling
singled over second and moved
up as Gary Geiger was thrown
out. Carl Yastrzemski drove
him across when he lofted a
high pop that fell safely near
the foul line in the midst of

don't know how much is for sale or who
owns it. Chances are that somebody with
a few shares, which made him part-owner
of a major league club, wants to cash in
his chips and get out of the game. Ger
tainly Cal and Thelma Griffith, who control
the Senators, aren't selling, and Gabe Muir
ply, who owns the big minority block of
40 per cent, says he's sitting tight, despite
his latest court defeat
Gabe'S court record (0-7) is worse than
the Twins at this point, but you can't fault
him on courage. He hasn't said uncle"
Indeed, he appears to be winding up for
another pitch at his former partners.
"THE OPINION OF the court will be
taken under advisement as to whether or
not to petition for reconsideration" he said
after the latest setback. "I shall continue
with appropriate action to protect my in
terestS, as we'll as the interests of other
stockholders of the Washington American
League Club"
Attorney Leo DeOrsey says that when
he was handling negotiations for Cal in his
dispute with Gabe over the clubs operation
here, he offered to trade Griffith Stadium
to Murphy even up for his stock. Although
the offer put value of approximately SIS
million on Gabes stock, it was refused
Working stiffs, like this one, wonder
why Gabe allows so much money to lie
dormant, collecting moss, instead of send
ing it out to work for him at nice, fat
rate of interest.
"It's like loaning the Griffiths SIS
million at no interest" DeOrsey said,
obviously Mortified at the thought.

Gene Littler, a very quiet g
in rather quiet fashion by shoot
hole total Of 281.
This matched the winning
score of Ralph Guldahl over
this course in 1887. 1t was six
below Ben Hogan's total of 10
years ago.
With 18 holes to go, there
were nine players within three
strokes of Doug Sanders, the
leader. The guess was that
there would be a traffic jam
at the finish, and that this
Open would be something to
remember.
But when Littler birdied the
18th hole of the afternoon
round, he took a two-stroke
lead on Sanders and Bob Goal
by at their respective position
on the course. He held it until
he bogied the 18th hole.
Sanders Gets Chance
That left Sanders, playing
three twosomes back, with a
chance to tie. Sanders birdied
the 10th, trimmed the cup on
a 17-foot birdie try on the 17th.
and had a go at chipping in
on the 18th, when his attempt
just rolled past the cup.
Sanders and Goalby tied for
second, Doug with a finish
ing 70 for 282 and Goalby, who
finished before Littler, with II
for 282.
Littler, who failed to qualify
for the final 36 holes last year,
won $4,000 for winning the
Open title just seven years after
he missed a 10-foot putt which
would have tied Ed Furgol for
the championship in 1854 at
Baltusrol.
Gene, 31-year-old Califor-
nian, first attracted attention
here with a second round 68
which left him in a six-way tie
for second, two strokes out of
the lead.
A morning 72 today dropped
him three back of Sanders with
18 holes to CO.. But Littler did
not bogey a hole in the after
noon until he trapped his sec
ond shot on the 459-yard par
four 18th. exploded weakly, and
took a five.
Littler birdied Z, II and Is in
his final round with puts of
Is, 6 and Is feet.
Palmer Moves Too Late
Arnold Palmer, the defending
champion and looked upon by
many as the greatest golfer, in
the world today, created a Stir
when he played the back nine
in 80 this morning, and then
eagled the second hole of his
afternoon round.
But he had too much ground
to make up, and finished with
TOTO for 289. Palmer was the
last to start and was in the
only threesome of the day, and
he wasn't too happy over the
lot of the defending titlist.
He double bogied the ninth
hole of the morning round for
an outgoing 38, and then turned
it on. He had five brides and
an eagle in his last 81 holes,
but it was too late for the fell
low who overcame a seven
stroke deficit in the final round
to win last year at Cherry Hills
in Denver.
Jack Nicklaus, the 1859 Ma
tional Amateur champion, and
Mike Souchak, halfway leader
last year, tied for fourth with
284S after sharing the tenn
porary lead on the early holes
of the afternoon round.
Souchak, one stroke back Of
Sanders with one round to go,
birdied three Of the first four
holes in the afternoon and
thousands in the gallery of TO-
439 this sunny afternoon
flocked to his side.

three rounds with 69-70-70,
but he couldn't overcome that

Eric Monti and Doug Ford were
next with 286s, and Jacky Gu

Gary Player concluded the au-
tomato qualifiers for next year

For the first time since 1889,
Hogan failed to make the au-
tomato qualifiers for the fol-
lowing year. He finished with
a 73 for 289, and this cham
pionship may have seen the
last of the great player who has

was trapped on the 9th, three
putted the 10th, and was
trapped again on the 18th.
Meanwhile, Littler wasn't max
ing any mistakes and was NOV
ing in front.
Littler, who won the Eastern
Open in Baltimore last year, is
a pleasant, blond fellow, about
5-foot-10, weighing 167 pounds.
He has a sound golf swing, and
a few years ago he was looking
so good people figured he'd win
every tournament that he en-
tered.
He is so quiet the golf writer's
refer to him as the "yes and
no" player, because he seldom
answers a question with any
more than those two little
words.
He said today that Ted Kroll
gave him a tip just before the
tournament. Kroll told Gene his
swing was too flat. He changed
to a more upright swing and
said Kroll's suggestion had been
a great help.
On his final SO, best round Of
the afternoon, Littler hit IA of
the 18 green's in regulation
fashion. He had 80 puts, and
was in three sand traps.
On the last five back break
ing holes, Littler played care
full golf and pared all but the
18th. He was told on the 18th
he had a two-stroke lead.
