Icized thrower and he was of no real value
to the Angels. He was 1O-11 pitcher after
a flawleSs start, and when the Angels i'm
plausibly made a run at the Yankees he
was of no help. Koufax is the real article.
He can throw harder, curve better think
more clearly, and go to bed earlier

year older than the Great Romancer. GUYS
who have batted against him, even right
handlers, say nobody has a fast ball or a
curve like Sandy's.
STATISTICS ARE BORING. Besides.
anybody family interested in Koufax must
know of the guys record Sandy strikes out
more hitters than any starter who's active
today-something like 10 per game over
his career-and he's almost a clnch to
break the major league marks set by Rube
Waddell and Teller
This season, so far, he's pitched nine

victory Of sort over Koufax the other
day. After being shut out for six innings
had three shutoutS in a row before the
Phils tied on their bender.
Allan Roth, who keeps the statistics
for the Dodgers, claims that after long
study he figures Koufax, If his fast ball and
curve are functioning, will pitch an almost
automatic three-hit shutout.
"And If his fast ball isn't up to par"
Roth says, "Koufax can win with his
curve alone. And vice versa. When he hasn't
got either pitch working which Is

July 4, tanning his average Of 10 batters A
few days later, first against the Giants
and then against the Nets, he noticed that
the index finger on his pitching hand
lacked circulation.
1T was the darnedest thing" Koufax
was telling US last March at Vero Beach.
There was no feeling in the finger;
could stick a pin or needle in 1t and there
was no pain. The doc said 1t was circula-
tory, but then the finger began TO turn
dark :. and finally black.

said McCraw caught q piece of
the plate with his hand as he
slid across and thus was not
out Of the baseline.
Denounced by Some
Hodges, in tongue-in- cheek
fashion, maintained 1t was
good baseball. Landrith also
said it was good baseball.
However, some of the Senators
who we're not coached said 1t
was a bush-league trick by a
rookie. and several pitchers
said McCraw had better be
ready to duck the next time
the teams meet.
Landrith had a busy night.
In a way, he forced Daniels to
come in with a good pitch to
Hansen by calling for two
straight pitchouts. Hodges en-
phasized that Landrith should
not be criticized for this.
Earlier Landrith had called
for two pitchouts. He threw
out Jim Lands trying to steal
and guessed right another time
on McCraw but didn't get him
because of a poor throw. Hobie
also picked Lands off third,
saving a run.
The Senators took a 2-1 lead
in the seventh off Dave Debuss-
chere on Don Locks single, Don
Zimmer's diuble and Daniels
single.
Hansen Turns Tide
Lands opened the Chicago
seventh with a single, and Han
sen hit a Daniels pitch deep
into the Chicago bullpen in
straightaway centerfield, COM
fortably over the 415-foot sign.
1t was Ron's ninth home run,
and it marked the second time
in less than a week that Daniels
has lost on a late-inning
gopher ball.
Ron Kline bailed Daniels out
Of the seventh inning, but Kline
didn't get anybody out in the
eighth. Ridzik retired only one

Kline's alleged spitballs drew
acknowledgment from Man

thus far.

sounds ridiculous considering
the hole is a 521-yard par 5.
The only thing that seems
to be bothering Palmer is a
head cold, brought back from
En- g a n d. He's been taking
medication, but he's a little bit
afraid of its effects.
II was almost falling asleep

18th fairway after I took some
Ills yesterday" he said as he
relaxed in the players grill
room. Then when I got back
to my room 1 fell asleep on
the sofa, woke up around 10
O'Clock, took another pill and
went back to sleep"
He seemed to be extremely
proud Of his record of Is hours
of Inconsistencies.
He'll be even more proud Of
his money-winning record If he
an link together four good
scores today through Sunday,
because the winner here fig
ures to collect slightly more
than the $4,000 Player won
last year.
All-Time High
Although the PGA won't an
nounce the total purse until
Saturday, 1t seems probable
that it will exceed the $72,500
purse of 1862.
Should Palmer add this first
place money to what he al
ready owns, he'll be awfully
close to the 100000 figure, If
not over it. He's already set
an all-time high with $85,545
and seems to be playing well
enough here to keep himself In
contention the first couple of
days until it is time for a late
charge to boost him over the
top.
Nicklaus still is making visits
to the club masseur, trying to
work his back muscles into
shape and hoping to avoid the
36-hole cut, which will pare the
field of 1877 down to a ,workable
rs for the final two rounds
Saturday and Sunday.
Nicklaus missed the cut In
the Open at Brookline, Mass,
but it is doubtful that he'll
miss here. For one thing, most
players agree that the course
Doesn't play as long as its an
nounced yardage. For another,
IH1cklaus hits the ball far
enough so that the length Of
the course probably won't
bother him, anyway.

U.S. Stars Begin PEA With Little Worry
Charles, Player Fretting
About Shift From Britain

good a chance as last year be-
cause of his curtailed practice,
then Phil Rodgers, who tied
Bob Charles for first place,
must not have any.
Rodgers arrived here about
i O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and barely had time for one
practice round. He played nine
holes and then stopped long
enough to hit the two-iron in
the Institutional clinic before
going out on the back nine.
And If Player is unhappy about
the situation, Rodgers isn't.
II don't think the lack of
practice will hurt my chances, !"
Rodgers said as he changed
from his travelling suit to work
clothes. With a roll of blubber
hanging over the waistband Of
his pants, Rodgers said that he
knows the course well enough
and that he played nine holes
and hit balls for two hours be-
fore flying here from his home
in San Diego.
II played here a lot when ]
was at the University of Hous-
ton," Rodgers said as he walked
out of the clubhouse with nc
apparent care in the world.
Charles, the New Zealand
lefthander who beat Rodgers
in the 36-hole British Open
playoff Saturday, is inclined to
agree with Player.
100 Degrees
We've been playing in tenn
peratures at least 40 degrees
cooler than 1t is here today"
he said as a reminder that the
temperature climbed above 100
yesterday on the barren-look-
ing but lush course.
That's another thing
Charles added. THE grass is
different over there. It's much
more granny on the greens, and
you have to change from the
run-up shot to the high pitch.
However, the change appar.
emily isn't bothering Palmer
and Nicklaus as much as some
of the others.
Nicklaus showed that he can
boom the ball by winning the
driving contest yesterday with
a poke of BAL yards. but Palmer
is saving his drives for the goli
course.
/ Doug Higgins, Palmer's part
ner in a practice round yester-
day, said that Arnie is hitting
it a ton. He said Palmer
reached the first hole with 6
drive and seven iron, which

bases loaded situation. Hobie
had taken a step toward first
base and had his arm cooked
to try for a double play when
McCraw caught him on the
blind side with his knee.
Landrith went down in heap,
but apparently suffered Moth
ing more serious than a severe
ankle sprain.
The play merely prolonged
the White Sox's 80 victory.
They had taken a 80 lead in
the previous inning when
Bonnie Daniels served up a
430-foot homer to Ron Hansen.
The controversial play at the
plate came early in the White
Sox' five-run eighth inning.
Move to Minnesota
The Sox took over second
place with their victory and
ended the Senator'S three-game
winning streak.
The Senators, idle today,
visit the Twins for a three
game, weekend series. Tom
Cheney is scheduled to start
tomorrow night. but he was
unable to throw a fast ball
last night and may miss an
other turn.
McCraw's slide into Land
rith was the type Of play that
might have set off a full-scale
free-for-all in the National
League, but the 10th-place
Senator's apparently don't want
to make anybody mad.
McCraw is a rookie who is
filling in at first base during
Joe Cunningham's stay on -
disabled list.
With the bases loo ded and
nobody out, j. C. Martin hit a
one-hopper back to Steve Rid
xix. Ridzik fired the ball to
Landrith. and McCraw was an
easy out on a force. However,
McCraw slid out Of the base
line to topic Landrith.
Manager Gil Hodges ques-
toned Plate Umpire AL Salerno

good a chance Of winning here
as somebody who didn't" the
white-b edecked Player said.
Reminded that he won the
PGA in Philadelphia last July
the week after playing in the
British Open, Player rebutted
by pointing out that he missed
the 36-hole cut at Troon and
had two extra days to practice.
I'D give anything to have
had two extra days here be-
fore the tournament started"
Player confessed. There are so
many adjustments to be made
to the heat, the food. the
ball and the change in time"
Picks BOrOs
Player ngraded the
chances of the Big Three
Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus
and himself-and picked Julius
Boros, the National Open
champion. as the most likely
winner. Palmer and Nicklaus
also made the trip to Britain.
Personally, II I had to pick
a probable winner. it would be
Boros," Gary said. "He has
been playing terrific golf, he is
fully rested and he has a psy-
Geological boost in that it was
here IL years ago that he beat
Ben Hogan for the Open cham
pionship."
But Player, who was the first
non-member to win the PGA,
also said he's playing rather

I'm putting better than I
was in the Open, but I'm not
satisfied with it. Golf is a game
that you can never be salts

Africa's first 'Bantustan" which

Premier Hendrix Verwoerd

years to establish Bantustans or
African homelands"-bits of
country which will be black

cans.
This is an extension of the
apartheid policy. for up to now
whites had been given most
privileges. But in the Transkei,
Africans are going to be given
a chance to run their own
affairs - with help from the
whites.
In the election, African cleo

remain in the hands of chiefs.
Elected members will be in the
minority. In the legislative
council there will be four
Paramount Chiefs, so Ordinary

There are no political parties
and there is confusion about
just what candidates stand for
or whom they support in the
race for Chief (Prime) Min

1t is difficult to find any
election issues. except one
which is almost certain to be
thrown out by Mr.. Verwoerd's
men in any case. This is the

Radiation Leak
Laid 10 Error

LONDON, Nov. 20 (AP-
Britain's Atomic Energy Au-
thority said today that a tech
nician's error produced a ra-
diation leak Saturday at its
giant Windscale reactor plant.
The reactor was slammed out
of action and no danger result
ed the authority said. The
reactor is operating normally
again.
Windscale, on the Northeast
England coast, turns uranium
into plutonium for nuclear
weapons. AS a by-product it
produces electricity for COM
mercial use.
Incident in 1857
In 1857 a major accident In
an older type of Windscale
reactor spread radioactivity
over the surrounding country
side. and sale Of milk from the
area was banned for several
weeks.
Tom Tuohy, Windscale gen.
eral manager, said Saturdays
miShap came during removal of
uranium fuel elements from
the reactor.
Normally the uranium rods
are lifted from the reactor by a
mot e-controlled crane and
placed in heavily shielded con-
tainers. But this time the oper-
ator of the discharge crane in
advertently placed a string OF
fuel rods in an unshielded con-
tainer.
Radiation Level High
Instruments Immediately
showed a high level of radia-
ton. The six men in the radia-
ton area quit the ractor
building.
An Atomic Energy Authority
spokesman said later: mo sig
nificant radiation exposures
were found"
Once it was clear that no
leakage was getting beyond the
steel safety sphere housing the
reactor, Mr.. Tuohy and other
scientists went into the reactor
in protective clothing to put
the rods in shielded containers.
