9-8 SCORE

By JACK WILKINSON

.‘AN ANTONIO. Tex. (IT!) -
Julius Dorns has been trying for
weeks to beat "that one bad
round."
It seemed to hit him just
al'out every tournament this
year — one bad round which
nullified some nifty playing the
rest of the way —"and at age 48
you know there's not many shots
Wt,"
But, you would never know
big Julie was about out of shot.
He withstood the challenge of
several younger players, lg-
norfd the staggering summer
heat and skipped the "one bad
round" to win his first PGA
championship Sunday.
It was a big kidc for tlie
usually poker-faced Boros,
whose parents migrated from
Hungary, and tie admitted
rather shyly that he was excited
winning over Peran Valley
an eight-footer on 18 that would
have earned him a tie with
Boros, and he wound up tied
with Bob Charles, the New
Zealander with the peculiar left-
handed swing, for second place
— one shot back of Bpros.
Boros fired a closing 69 for a
283.
Also backing away was Pal-
mer, 10 years younger than
Boros but only a shadow of his
former self despite a great re-
covery shot on the 18th. Palmer
missed makeablc. birdie putts
on 11 of the last i3 holes, and
72-hole total of one-over par 281 jit toll him shaken.
not normally enough to win. i was deeply disappointed,’'
But it was enough in this one , he si.id, adding that he had

much of a charge and Boros j any he had ever played but had
was the first to admit, "I sort | to settle for a par and second
of backed into this one," which
netted him $25 000,
Backing out of It were Marty
Flerkman who had, led or was
tied for the leader after earn rf
the first three nairds, and
Frank Beard, who shared the
top spot after the second and
place when his eight-foot putt
missed by inches.
Arnold wound up with a 70 and
282, same as Charles, who could
not catch Boros, even after the
North Carolina bear bogeved
No. 17.
Tied with Fleckman at 283

hirraelf to a 71 and 281 three [luck guy of the SOth PGA. He

another frustrating day for j
Arnold Palmer, who was trying*
for the Uth time to win the j
elusive PGA title.
Palmer saw birdie putt after i
h‘rdte putt just miss, Including
had the winner.
Beard finished tied at 281 with
Billy Casper, the leading money-
winner, who shot his third
straight 70.
The day belonged to Boros,
who although he's the oldest
man ever to win this coveted
title can look back fondly to
Sunday’s "sweet 16." It was
there, at the 233-yard, par 3
15th hole where Julie took the
lead for good.
"My key hole was the 16th,”
he said. “I got a birdie and
Charles and Fleckman bogeyed
it and that was probably it."
It was the fourth birdie of
Boros' round. He had sunk a
couple back-to-back on the fifth
and sixth with putts of eight
and 16 feet, then got a 20-footer
for another bird on No. 11 and
the “big one” — a 15 footer that
rolled in at 16.
"I was putting better than I
did all week," he said. "I’m
playing as well as I ever have

Those lethal Bufffalo bats
dealt a telling blow to Toledo’s
pennant hopes Sunday in the
International League.
Peced by Hector Lopez and
league-leader Brant Alyea, the
Bisons clubbed five homers in
both ends of a doubleheader to
sweep the first-place Mud Hens,
10-5, 9-2.
Lopez was the big gun in the
opener as he hit a pair of
homers good for four runs.
Alyea also weighed in with a
two-run blast, his 31st.
In the nightcap, Dick Kalmer
highlighted a seven-run Bison
fourth with a three-run hompr
and Sam Bowens hit a solo
home run the following frame
for Buffalo.
In other IL action, second
place Syracuse beat Rochester
5-1 and 2-1; Louisville and
Richmond split a pair, as the
opener went to the Braves 3-1,
and the second game to the
Colonels 8-6; Columbus and
Jacksonville spit a doublehead-
er with the Jets winning the
first 1-0, and the Mets coming
back with a 10-0 victory.
defeated the Cuero Toms 9-8
Sunday at Cuero Municipal
Park. Dale Murray and John
Post shared mound duties for
the Toms.
The Trotters scored three
runs in the top of the first
frame on a base on halls, three
hits and an error. Jim Crain,
Rex Mathis and Oscar Black-
well got the Trotters hits. The
Trotters added another run in
the second without benefit of a
hit.
The Toms scored three times
in the botom of the second and
five in the third for their total,
and led the ball game 8-4 until
the seventh.
Cuero's veteran Trotters ad-
ded two runs in the geventh
and three in the eighth to go
out in front.
The Sunday game was the
first official meeting between
the two Cuero nines. Early in
the season they played a prac-
tice game which the Trotters
ad,ro won, 7-3.
Saturday night the Trotters
met a McFaddin nine on the
local diamond and lost 8-5 with
Joe Gibbs and Emmitt Blaek-
well sharing hurling dudes.
