The record book says Jacob Nel- son is 5 feet 8 and weighs 150, yet the belting bantam from St. Thomas, Pa., won't argue if you call him smaller on both counts. The thing that does count is that Fox carried a .334 batting average into Tuesday night's game with the New York Yankees at Comiskey Park. He's the main reason the Pale Construction Firm Remodels Old, Outmoded Golf Courses NEW YORK (P)-Is. your golf course old, outmoded and a push- over for the scratch players who f belt a golf ball farther with a six iron than granddaddy did with a brassie? If it is there's no need to give it up as- hopeless, says Bill Mit- chell, who' has had a hand in building and rebuilding a lot of golf courses in the past few years. Same Cost, Better Course But if you have the land, you can build a brand.new course for no, more money than the old one cost 30 years ago-and it's bound to be a better course. Mitchell's construction firm in Sutton, N.H., has just finished the swank Pine Hollow Course on T Long Island. Since the 1920s, the last big era of golf course building, the advent of steelshafted clubs, better golf balls and the virtual abandoninent of the pitch-and-run shot have made doddering old wrecks out of some courses that once were among the best. Most of them can't be length- ened much because they're hem- med in by houses and highways. "Usually you can find a way to shove the tees back a little," says Bill, "but where you can't add length, you can get the same re- sults by trapping and green de- sign. Greens, Traps Redone Old greens, designed for pitch- and-run approaches, are re-con- toured and the traps relocated so they'll catch a poorly played ap- proach. Starting from scratch, Mitchell says, a whole course can be built as cheaply nowadays as in the 1920s because they bring in heavy construction equipment instead of using the old pick and shovel and wheelbarrow methods. The results are better, too ''be- cause the big equipment just can't make poor contours." Hose have stayed within close reach of the Yankees, even though the likes of Minnie Minoso, Jim Rivera and Jim Busby are trying to hit .250. "Lots of Luck" "I've had lots of luck at bat, especially on the last road trip," said the 27-year-old Fox. "I'm swinging all the time and I'm connecting." Older fans will recall the iriginal "Little Poison," Lloyd Waner, who basked somewhat in the limelight of his more illustrious brother on the Pittsburgh Pirates, "Big Poi- son" Paul. Hits for Accuracy Like the Waner' brothers, Fox spanks the ball with more accuracy than distance. Sax General Manager Frank Lane joshes that the .only thing that would make Fox slump would be a flurry of homers. "Then, the little guy will start flexing his muscles and nothing will happen," quipped Lane. But Fox counters: "The day will never come when little me starts swinging for the fences. I'm not built like a slugger and I'm content just to plunk that ball where they ain't." Football Fans To See Double MUNCIE, Ind.

LABELED 'GOOD HIT, NO FIELD': Cincinnati's Jablonski Optioned to San Diego NKW YORK (M-it wasn't tooV surprising to learn that the Cin- cinnati club had sent Ray Jablon- ski to San Diego on option. The stocky fellow hasn't been hitting, and he isn't exactly the type you keep around just for his Yfielding. Here is an athlete who for two i straight years knocked in more than 100 runs each year, and last year was rated good enough to be the starting third baseman on the National League All-Star team. July 19, 1954, he was hitting .320 eectio onMoaern Coolin ' DIAL 2-2513 ALL OVER TOWN THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT "MARTY" FIRST AMERICAN FILM TO WIN THE COVETED GRAND PRIZE AT THE INTERNATIONAL FILM"FESTIVAL 'A FINE FILMI", and had batted in 76 runs, and he finished the season with an av- erage of .296. July 19 this year he was hitting .234, with only 24 runs batted in. What caused this startling re- versal of form at the plate is a matter for speculation, and the best guess we have heard is that fretting over the criticism of his fielding finally had affected his ability as a hitter. He could field a ball he could reach, but he couldn't cover much territory, and once he had gloved DIAL 2-3136 SNEAK PREVIEW TONIGHT at 9 P.M. of a brand new CinemaScope comedy in Technicolor.
