The Enterprise Classic, the state’s biggest medal play event, drew about 450 golfers in its ninth year. Blair Park pro Johnny Johnston credited with guiding the tourney since 1959 warned that rule infractions and sloppy conduct threaten the event’s integrity and proposed stricter enforcement, single-flight play, and clearer rule compliance across local and national levels.
Hank Washington, a 6 foot 4 inch, 212 pound West Texas State standout, unsigned in the NFL draft, held a $40,000 Giants contract offer but says teams passed after hype stories. He reports interest from several clubs after the draft and says he signed with the Giants due to their approach.
Elston Howard, 38, delivered a ninth inning go ahead single for Boston in a 6-5 win over Washington. Steve Jones earneds his first major league victory as Chicago edged New York 4-3. Other AL results: California over Cleveland 6-4, Baltimore over Kansas City 5-2. NL: Houston 11-4 St Louis, Cincinnati 2-0 San Francisco, Pittsburgh 5-1 Chicago, Los Angeles 2-0 Atlanta.
Dodgers right hander Bill Singer blanked Atlanta 20 as he notched his sixth straight win. Aided by a four hitter and 12 strikeouts, Singer improved to 8 4 with eight starts in five weeks, overcoming earlier finger numbness after rib surgery. In NL action, Pittsburgh beat Chicago 5 1 Houston topped St Louis 11 4 Cincinnati shut out San Francisco 2 0, while AL scores included White Sox over Yankees 4 3 and Boston over Washington 6 5.
ST LOUIS AP It looks like the St. Louis football Cardinals have found the perfect defense as the other team scores little and punter Joe Randall downed the ball in the end zone. Woody Fryman earned his second victory against six losses with help from Roy Face on a two point safety. The Cardinals held on to beat Baltimore 9-5 in an NFL exhibition game.
The Kansas City Athletics feud with owner Charles C. Finley remained at an impasse after a nearly two hour clubhouse meeting ended in silence. Finley fired Alvin Dark, released Ken Harrelson, suspended Lew Krausse, and fined Jack Aker, while Harrelson warned Finley may have overstepped. Harrelson, released Monday after criticizing Finley, said the owner may have deeper trouble. Aker noted the Krausse incident opened the dispute. The players released a statement accusing Finley of undermining morale, and the group voted to keep the statement unretracted despite Finley’s Chicago trip and requests for delay. Harrelson, with 60 games this year, becomes a potential free agent after waiver procedures, with six teams reportedly contacting him.
West Virginia coach Jim Carlen plans a more balanced offense for Garrett Ford this season. Ford, a 224 pound tailback, carried WVU last year setting Southern Conference records with 2386 carries for 1158 yards in 10 games. Carlen wants Ford to carry 18 or 19 times per game while others help. He cites returning quarterback experience with Tom Digon and Pete Secret ready to run the option after a year of adjustment.
Charley Winner, St Louis head coach, ordered a safety then punt to gain field position. Jim Bakken, the kicker, suggested the plan and connected on three field goals to win the game. Winner credited Bakken for the idea and the decision to play for a safer outcome.
