Championship
In NCAA Golf

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June "a
(AP).-Jack Nicklaus added the
National Collegiate golf trophy
to his roomful of cups today in
an all-Ohio State final of the
Gath NCAA tourney.
He led from the first green
and beat back a late rally by
Mike PodolSki to win 5 and 3.
NicklauS, who hits long and
straight, was six under par for
the 80 holes. Podolski finished
exactly even over the hilly par
II Purdue course.
The new NCAA champion led
the amateurs in the National
Open last week for the second
straight year. and he dominated
the college affair from the time
he won the qualifying medal
with a pair of 70s.
Nickalus shot eight brides,
% pars and two bogeys today
and won 10 holes. Podolski had
six birds, 81 parS and six bogeys,
winning three of the last six
holes but capturing only five al
together.
Five down after q holes,
PodolSki raped in a 40-foot
birdie putt on the 28th, lost No.
90 on a bad chip and took the
30th when Nicklaus three
putted. Podolski birdied the
short 31st hole with a 10-foot
putt but that ended his chal-
lenge.
Nicklaus won the 32d with a
2-foot birdie putt. Podolski
missed the green on the 32d,
Clipped too hard and conceded
NicklauS a 6-foot birdie putt.
The Ohio State boys proud
fathers, L. Charles Nicklaus and
William Podolski, trudged along,
Podolski buSily shooting movies.
Both are from Columbus, Ohio.
The gallery of about 500 also
included Nicklaus' wife, Bar

Griffith to confirm it. Dresser
also was canned without his
knowledge when Cal suddenly
ioined the club in Detroit on
May 7, 1857.
Dresser later was named CO.
ordinator of player personnel
for the remainder of the 1857
season. Apparently Griffith has
no such plans for Lavagetto.
Lavagetto said yesterday he
had heard nothing about a job
similar to Dressen's or even one
with the Twins organization.
The 47-year-old former third
baseman for the Dodgers and
Pirates doesn't seem interested
in such an offer.
Lavagetto's dismissal also
was similar to that Of Joe Cor
don, who was fired by the Ath-
leticS last week. Like Gordon,
Lavagetto was on a fishing trip
when the blow fell.
Griffith replaced Lavagetto
with Sam Mele, a former Sem
ators' outfielder-infielder who
was one of Cookies coaches.
Lavagetto was a coach under
Dresser for two years before
he took over the helm from
Chuck.
Dresser, now the manager of
the Milwaukee Braves, said. II

first" All Lavagetto would say
yesterday was, That's baseball
for you"
Griffith gave Lavagetto a
unique vacation" June 6 while
the Twins were in New York.
Cal said he felt Cookie needed
some time away from the club,
which has plummeted near the
basement after being picked to
finish in the first division.
At that time Cookie said he
didn't think he needed a rest.
He went back to Minneapolis
and worked in the office trying
to swing some deals to help
the club.
Calvin said he thought that
Lavagetto was disappointed by
the teams failure and was un-
der mental strain.
However, Cookie said yester-
day, There was no mental
strain. That was Griffith's
opinion"
The circumstances also re-
called Griffith's switch of the
franchise from Washington to
Minneapolis-St. Paul last year.
At first he denied rumors that
the club would be shifted, but
he reversed his field quickly
when given the opportunity
for q move.

CLEVELAND, June "a (AP)
- Shortstop Dick McAuliffe
smashed a 390-foot home run
over the centerfield fence with
two out in the ninth inning to-
day to bring Detroit from be-
hind to q 5-4 victory over the
Indians.
McAuliffe's homer came off
reliever Frank Funk and fol-
lowed a single by Charlie Max
well. It was the 21-year-old
rockies second of the season.
He hit his other last night in
his second major league game.
The defeat ran Cleveland'S
losing string to six games
longest in two seasons. 1t was
the ninth victory in II games
for the first-place Tigers. Re-
lever Paul Foytack was cred
tied with the win but he had
to be rescued by Phil Regan
who came in with two out and
the bases loaded on walks and
got pinch hitter Bob Hale on a
grounder.
Rain held up the game for
an hour and a quarter in the
seventh inning when Detroit
scored on a force play after
singles by Jake Wood, Mike
Roarke and pinch hitter Max
well had filled the bases.
Cleveland led from the third
inning when Tito Francona
hit his fourth homer Of the
year off starter Frank Larry
after Jim Piersall had beaten
out a bunt with two away.

Orinda, Calf, with no appar-

ing back to open his own law office. He'll
be missed, along with the characters he
introduced into the formal proceedings,
such as Jimmie Blue Eyes Alo, Trigger
Mike Copoila, Fat Tony Salerno and Fat
the Butch DiCostonzo.
The only performance to rival that of
Bonomi's cast was Casey StengerS ap-
pearance before the same committee a
couple of summers ago. But whereas the
former Yankees manager talked willingly,
albeit in riddles, Bonomi'S characters were
victims Of short memories. In some cases
they clammed up completely.
1t was sordid story, but Bonomi feels
that if Congress passes the Kefauver bill
to put professional boxing under Federal
control for at least three years, the time,
energy and money spent on the expose will
be well worth it.
A COLLEGE BOXER during his student
days, Bonomi feels that it is important to
United States image abroad to clean up the
game. Hollywood movies and boxing, he
believes, are the great indicators to for
eigners of what life in the United States
really is like. Film stories may not convey
a true picture of this country, but they may
be explained away as pure fiction.
But in boxing it is true" he said.
"These are the facts. Gangsters do control
the sport, and there is no answer to this
no way to explain it,"
A change for the better won't come
overnight, Bonomi warns The speed with
which the vermin are eradicated will de-
pend on the size and authority of the
investigating staff assigned to the pro-
posed commissioner, the cooperation of
State athletic commissions and how people
directly involved in boxing feel about it
whether they are anxious and willing to
cooperate in cleaning up.

Il think Jack has done a beautiful Job of

for his training"
"You know" Price confided, ''this is

that made it from Florida to New York.
I'm all mixed up as to dates and places.
For instance, it was warm and balmy in
