It would seem that Mason City should, at some time, come up with a strong armed athlete who could be a top performer in the weights, the shot put and discus School records in those events are 50-8 by Denny Flatness (1964) in the shot put and by Ron Grell (1958) in the discus Neither of those marks, for example, would be good enough to grab off a fifth place point in state competition. uu NOTE When Davenport West drubbed Wahlert 13-1 this week for the state high school baseball title, a record was set This was the largest margin of victory in a championship game in history The previous high margin came when Davenport Central clobbered Glidden 12-1 in 1950 at the state tourney at Mason City The victory by West marked the 10th time a Davenport club has won the title in the 33-year history of the meet.

Tommy Bolt takes lead in "500" golf By RON GILBERT INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The race for the $15,700 top money in the $87,500 "500" Festival Open Golf Tournament started like a poor man's parade, with veteran Tommy Bolt in the lead. Bolt, who took a one-stroke lead over six other hungry contenders by shooting a three-under-par 68 at Greentree Country Club Thursday, could nearly triple his previous take for the season by winning Sunday. His PGA winnings this year total $5,140. Bolt's closest pursuers included only one of the 44 top winners of the 1965 money list Bill Martindale, who stands eighth on winnings of $23,365.67. Among the other two-under- par 69 shooters, Claude King is 45th in winnings, Joe Campbell is 54th and Doug Ford is 55th.

Art Wall has won only $5,062.50, and Joe Kirkwood an infrequent tourney contender, is not listed. Top-money man Jack Nicklaus did not enter the tournament. Doug Sanders, second in earnings this year, withdrew on the 17th hole because of a. thumb injury. He was four over pa'r for the distance, including a 9 on the 12th hole.

Greentree, chosen as the site for this year's tournament because the Speedway Course is being rebuilt, plays harder than Speedway. Those who had trouble included Gary Player of Australia, who last year with 273 but shot a 73 for the first round Thursday. Baseball in the majors AMERICAN LEAGUE W. Pet. G.B.

Clay says Sonny too dull, slow to be fixer CHICOPEE, Mass. (AP) According to heavyweight champion Cassius Clay, Sonny Liston "is too dull and too slow to be a fixer in a fight." With that, Clay dismissed complaints that the Clay-Liston title bout at Lewiston, Maine, Tuesday night was fixed. "Besides," he told a press conference Thursday at his pre- fight training camp, "if the sight had been fixed, Liston would have waited more than one round to make it look good." The talkative Clay wailed, "I'm wrong regardless of what actually happened." said he hit Liston "flush with all of my 206 pounds and they hated to give me credit." He said, "Television can't show how solid a punch is thrown The champion, who headed for his Louisville home Friday, already is promoting his next.bout although no arrangements for a bout have been announced. Mentioning Canadian George Chuvalo as a possible opponent, Clay talked about a "white hope" being good for boxing.

"There should be some white heavyweights in Europe as well as in the country who could provide a challenge for me or any heavyweight who becomes a champion." Since in the last five or six years, all of the title contenders as well as heavyweight champions have been colored, he said he thinks a white contender would be a good draw. He also said he would like to fight Ernie Terrell, recognized as heavyweight champion by the World Boxing Association, adding: "I would eat him up."

The only thing swift about ihance against the Senators was the time it took Washington knock him out. The Senators assaulted him for seven runs and eight hiis in 2 2-3 innings.

You have to go back to May 12, 1963, for a similar assault on Chance. That day he gave up ive runs in 11-3 innings against he White Sox. Chance, who said he was worried after dropping his third straight last week, must be terrified following his nightmarish encounter with the Senators. Elsewhere in the American Boston dropped Minnesota out of first place, blank- ng the Twins 2-0 and Detroit aggcd New York 4-1. Chance has given 32 earnec in his 11 appearances and has barely resembled the 20-9 pitcher he was a year ago.
