The big shots Of pro tennis
play tonight at the University
of Maryland's Cole Field House
with the headline attraction
matching Rod Laver. the best
of last years amateurs, against
Ken Rosewall, the best of the
pros.
Laver, winner of all four ma
jor amateur championships a
year ago, tries for something
more modest tonight-victories
back-to-back for the first time
as a pro. He won last time out
over Luis Ayala, after suffering
three opening defeats on the
American tour.
I'm anxious, maybe too
much so," Laver says. "I've been
missing just a little, but I have
not been beaten badly-9-7,
81, and 1910. Then I finally
won last time out. which should
help"
The matches begin at 8 pm.
and they'll be rapid-fire, eight
game pro sets. TITS like a
sprint" says Barry MacKay.
You Just dig in and go all
out"
MacKay, the big man with
the big serve, has been the sur
prise big winner so far. He has
cut down his double faults and
improved his ground strokes. he
says. AS a result, he is unde-
feated in four matches, but the
tour is a 50-city, round-robin
marathon with a playoff and a
$35, 900 top prize at the end of
the long trail.
The lineup here has been set
for crowd appeal with Andres
Gimeno (2-2) facing Earl
Buchholz (2-2) in the opener;
the lefthanded Laver Q-3) fac
ing highlander Rosewall (2-2)
in the feature, and MacKay "a
o. going against Ayala Q-3) in
the nightcap.
They'll play a doubles match,
too, after the Rosewall-Laver
feature. It'll put Laver-Buch-
holz against Rosewall- -Gimeno.
What should the causal ten
mis- fan look for? RoseVall, who
succeeded Pancho Gonzales as
pro champion two years ago.
sizes the troupe up this way:
"MacKay is the hardest
hitter, Buchholz is the fastest.
Ayala scrambles the most.
Gimono has the best touch
when he's right, and Laver is
the most rapid i'm

Cottier Given
Slight Raise;
13Unsigned
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

Chuck Cottier, who finds
Marv Breeding and a couple of
rockies looking over his shoul-
der. signed his Senators con-
tract yesterday. General Man.
ager George Selkirk said the
second baseman received a
slight raise.
Thirteen Senators still have
not signed, but Selkirk does
not appear too concerned. Dave
Stenhouse, whose IL victories
topped the Senator's staff last
year. is en- route to Pompano
Beach and will see Selkirk at
the training camp.
Several others apparently
will sign on the scene. Selkirk
will leave Sunday morning for
Pompano Beach. Burt Hawkins,
travelling secretary and director
Of press relations. will leave to-
morrow to complete details at
the training camp.
Cottier's contract was re-
ceived from California, where
he spent a month in the Air
Force as jet aircraft mechanic
at Edwards AFB.
Chuck. who batted .242 and
drove in 40 runs last year, sat
out most of September as
Chuck Hinton and Ron Still
well took turns at second base.
Hinton played IA games and
Stillwell six.
But the experiment of using
Hinton as an infielder appar-
emily is over. Breeding comes
to the Senators as a second
baseman by trade. but Manager
Mickey Vernon and Selkirk are
eying him more for shortstop
or third base.
Cottier, who is superb on the
double play and probably has
no superior with a glove among
the American Leagues second
baseman, could insure his job
by adding about 80 points to his
average.
The Senator's announced that
season ticket sales are up over
last year, which was a record
for the old or new ball club.
Johnny Morrissey's ticket
staff will make it easier for
prospective season ticket buyers
by sending representatives to
home or office to discuss plans.
Call the ticket office at 544-
1900 for details.
The Senators added another
Negro scout in Jackie Braith-
waite. who will work the New
York City area. Braithwaite
played 10 years in the minors
in the Big State and Sally
Leagues. among others, and
also in the Negro National
League. and in Mexico, Panama
and Canada.

SEGH AT LARGE
Our Man Comes Up
With Swinging Topic

TODAY WE'RE GOING to deal with
topic that really swings s. Gorillas. No
monkey business, either It's serious stuff
At least it's serious enough out in Pitts
burg, Kans., where they have been un-
derstandably proud of the "Gorillas"
who've been co-existing among them for
years.
The "Gorillas" under surveillance are
a unique species. They're human-like, we'll
like me, which may be an unfair compari-
son. Unfair to the "Gorillas," of course
At any rate, this isn't being written to
put in belated plug for Charles Darwin's
theory. Had he known about the "Gorillas"
I became acquainted with Darwin could
have made better case for his belief and
spared us the court costs of the Scopes
Trial, among other things.
The Gorillas, and the capital @ is quite
in order, are what the various athletic
teams which represent Kansas State
Teachers College of Pittsburg, Kans, are
called. 1t all came to light in an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Pittsburg yes
terday.
THE STORY SAID John Lance, basket
ball coach at Kansas State College for
Teachers, had Just joined the exclusive

There are Bears, Lions, Tigers, Wildcats,

they're called at Pittsburg State.

Marshall Bridges Shot in Nightc|ub Row
N. Y. HurIer
Hit in Leg
ByWomun

I
Feb. IA (AP) Marshall (Sher-
iff Bridges, ace relief pitcher
| of the Yankees, was listed in
fair condition at Broward Gen.
.ral Hospital today as police
questioned a woman they said
Ishot him in the left leg after
some sort of argument" at an
Elks Club.
Police said the wound was not
serious, but Yankee officials
said Bridges could be sidelined
for two months.
However, a doctor who ex-
amined Bridges said he thought
the pitcher might be able to
work out in about two weeks"
The shooting occurred shortly
after 10 pm. last night at a
Negro club known as the Pride
of Fort Lauderdale Elks Lodge
Police booked a woman iden-
titled as Carrie Lee Rayser on
a charge of aggravated assault
in connection with the shoot
ing. They plan to resume ques-
tioning her today.
Helped to Hospital
A patron at the club, Erskine
Hepburn, said he drove Bridges
to the hospital after the shoot
ing. He was sitting next to
Bridges. and Miss Rayser when
the shooting occurred, he said.
II heard a shot. looked
around and saw Bridges fall to
the floor" Erskine said. II
helped him to my car and drove
him to the hospital. All the way
to the hospital he kept telling
me to call the hotel and get in
touch with Yankee Manager
Ralph Houk."
Bridges was under Sedation
at the hospital and could not
give his version of the incident
Immediately.
Yankee officials said he was
shot in the leg below the knee
with a small-caliber weapon.
I'VE have no definite idea
how long he will be out" said
the Yankee public relations di-
rector. Bob Fishel. but it seems
certain that he will miss at
least two months, and then he
will have to get into shape.
1T won't do our chances any
good. We had been counting on
him. He was a very effective
pitcher for us, especially in the
first half of last season."
Only hours before the shoot
ing, Houk said, at the Yankee
advance training camp here,
that Bridges was counted on for
full-time bullpen duty. Pitch
ing depth is the Yankee weak
spot.
The shooting recalled that of
First Baseman Eddie Waitkus
of the Phillies, who was shot
IN the chest by a 19-year-old
girl in a Chicago hotel room on
June is, l949. Watkins did not
return to baseball until the fol-
lowing season.
The girl who shot Watkins,
Ruth Steinhagen, later was ad-
judged insane and spent two
years in a mental hospital.
Obtained From Reds
Bridges, 81, had a 3.l7 earn
ed-run average for the Yankees
and an "a record last year. He
appeared in So games, and was
a key factor in the Yankee PEN
nant drive after an arm injury
put the clubs top relief pitcher
Of 1861, Luis Arroyo, out Of ac-
ton.
The Yankees obtained
Bridges in a trade with the
Reds in December. 1861. Pre-
vious to that, he pitched for
the Cardinals, who gave him
the nickname Of Sheriff"
Born in Jackson. Miss,
Bridges is considered the team
character" An amusing story
teller who is not above stretch
ing the facts to improve a yarn,
he reminded many baseball men
Of the young Dizzy Dean. These
traits caused him to stand out
on the Yankees. largely a team
OF efficient, businesslike
players.

VATICAN CITY, Sept. IL
(AP).-The Vatican announced
today that Pope Paul VI has
accepted the resignation of a
Scottish bishop who defied
church orders to fire his di-

L'Osservatore Romano said
the Most Rev. Francis Walsh
resigned the See Of Aberdeen,
Scotland, and was appointed
Titular Bishop OF Birta. This
means he keeps his full rank in
the church but has no diocese.
The bishop had called the
order against his housekeeper
unjust and cruel"
The newspaper gave no rea-
son for the resignation, which
is unusual. The normal pro-
cedure is that the cause be
given-usually Ill health.

miss his housekeeper, Mrs.
Ruby Mackenzie, AZ, divorced
wife OF a Church Of Scotland

The bishop, 81, blamed a
