? Bud Winter, San Jose State track coach, on
fiber-glass poles: "They cost $65 each, and we've broken so many we're
working on the 1965 budget already."
? Doug Sanders, golf professional, on Arnold Palmer's
decision to play in fewer tournaments and devote more of his time to his many
business interests: "Ar-nie ought to take a week off just to count his
money."
? Gabe Paul, Cleveland Indian president: "A manager
really gets paid for how much he suffers."
?Judge M. Joseph Blumenfeld, of Hartford, Conn., who
awarded $1,750 damages to a golfer scarred by a drive, answering a defense
claim that the injured man was too slow leaving the green: "Golf is still a
leisurely sport for many golfers and haste in completing a round is not an
object of the game."
? Casey Stengel, Mets' manager, on his second-string
catcher, Chris Cannizzaro: "He's the first defensive catcher I've had who
can throw but can't catch."
