NO MONEY DOWN • Months tospay • BUY NOW’

you know, he never said a thing. He just went down to
the lumberyard and got some glass and fixed it. By jig-
gers, Ruth and Alma always could hit the ball farther
than Paul and I.”
He has won seven tour-
naments in his pro career
but stands 0-for-4 in play-
offs.
He was beaten by Jerry
Barber at Chicago in 1961
in the only other playoff in
the history of the PGA
championship. Massengale
has never participated in a
tour playoff before.

COOPERSTOWN, N. Y. — Lloyd Waner joined his
late brother, Paul, in baseball’s Hall of Fame Monday.
He says if his older sister, Alma, had been a boy she
• would have beaten both of them here and if his younger
Lloyd, who compiled a lifetime batting average of
.331 during a major league residence that spanned 19
years, was joined by Red Ruffing, the old Yankee pitch-
ing great, at Monday's ceremony. Also inducted was
Branch Rickey, one of the sport’s great executives, who
died last year. Mrs. Rickey was here to represent her
husband.
Ruth, now Mrs. Minor Formby, was here for Mon-
day’s ceremonies. She still lives in Harrah. Lloyd’s wife,
Frances, is here and so are his daughter, Mrs. Wesley
Rader started his turn at bat one day by going out to
pick up some loose balls. Player-coach Leo Posada step-
ped to the plate, telling mates, "Watch this.”
The first short, air-conditioned summer of profession-
al soccer in Houston's Domed Stadium produced a 2-2-2
record, an average attendance of 20,000 plus AND a me-
morable remark from general manager Owen Martinez.
Alma no longer is living, but Lloyd recalls their
farming days back at Harrah when he and Paul would
fill up a bushel basket with corncobs and take turns
pitching to the other.
"I had made a ball out of some old socks Mother had
and wrapped string around them and then took some of
that black tape and wound around it. Alma hit that thing
over the barn and through the kitchen window.
“Well, we didn’t know what my dad would do. But

has been a tie for third in
the Los Angeles Open. The
30-year-old former Texas
Christian star has been in
the top ten only once in 18
tournaments this year.
The 37-year-old January,
a North Texas State stand-
out during undergraduate
days when he once defeat-
ed Chris Gers of Ardmore
for the Little Dixie Classic
championship at Durant,
has won $33,638.89 during
this campaign and ranks
22nd on the official money
list.

"Alma was the first one of us ever to hit anything
over our barn,” Lloyd was reminiscing on the eve of his
induction.
"Can you see," Herrera came back, completing the
desecration of the first line of The Star Spangled Banner.

As anyone familiar with Hatton’s managing knows,
the current Astro bossman’s favorite explanation for why
his pastimers are being outscored is, "They're not swing-
ing the bats.”
Martinez’ successful stint as general manager of the
Oklahoma City baseball club included three pennant-
tinged terms when Grady Hatton was field skipper.
Batting practice seems to bring out the best in base-
ball’s needlers. A few examples from All Sports Stadium,
which the 89ers will re-occupy Tuesday night when Phoe-
nix visits:
One afternoon in the clubhouse manager Mel Mc-
Gaha changed that a little bit and his greeting came out,
”Ho-say.”
Edwards observed. "You could measure that one
w ith an inch worm . . ."
■and get hurt twice! ”
"Yeh,” Rader said, "but your mind was at ease
when I was in there.”

Waner was notified of his election to the Hall of
Fame last January.
"But I didn’t realize what it really meant until here
lately. People have been so interested. I have had so
much mail. People have been talking baseball so much.
It kinda makes you a little bit excited.”

"It was great. But I have to give most of the credit toj
Jim Godman. When the tournament first started I was:
just bowling average, which wasn’t good enough to win,
so Jim came up and told me to let up a little bit and try-
to roll the ball naturally instead of trying to put it in the-
pocket. I did and everything started working right.”
That was Butch Gearhart's answer when asked what’
he thought was the most important factor in his winning;
the $27,500 PBA Tournament of Stars which ended Sun-*
day night at Sunny Lanes. :
In winning, Gearhart, a 22-year-old Fort Lauderdale,:
Fla., pro on the tour just over two years, put on the most,
fantastic showing of any bowler in Oklahoma history. « !
Gearhart won with a total of 9,757 pins, including 550
bonus pins for each victory in the 16-game finals, to run
away with the $3,000 champion's prize and become the
first member of the Professional Bowlers Association t»
be crowned champion in two tournaments on the summer
tour.

Players like to compete at “long ball,” seeing who
can hit a pitch the farthest. During one contest, Blackaby
took a mighty left handed cut, hit the ball on the end of his
bat and nubbed a blooper all the way to third base.
While it was still airborne, Blackaby yelled, “Meas-
ure it! ”
This was duly noted by Martinez. When Houston’s
soccerists developed no score-itis in mid-season and
someone asked Martinez why, Owen replied, “They’re
not swinging the feet . . .”

DENVER — Texans
Donald Raymond Massen-
gale and Donald Raymond
January were playing their
fourth round of golf togeth-
er in six days Monday at
Columbine Country Club.
It wasn’t a friendly con-
test since the difference in
winning means $10,000.
It was the playoff for the
49th Championship of the
Professional Golfers Asso-
ciation in which the winner
receives $25,000 and the
runner-up $15,000.
They came from far
back in the pack Sunday to
tie for the lead, Massen-
gale shooting a brilliant 66
and January firing a 68.
Oddly enough, after they
played together in Satur-
day’s third round (they
had played two practice
rounds together earlier)
they agreed they would
need scores of 67 to have
any chance in the tourna-
ment. At the time January
was four shots back of
leader Dan Sikes and Mas-
sengale was six shots be-
hind.
If January had had a 67
he would have been the
winner and had Massen-
gale had one more stroke
he would have wound up
tied with Jack Nicklaus
and Sikes for second place
and no position in Mon-
day’s playoff.
If Massengale prevails
Monday it will be his third
victory as a professional.
Last year he won the
Bing Crosby and the Cana-
