Today Burke tries to defend his slender lead one stroke oyer five players, two strokes over eight others and only three ahead of another 13 but it's sure these challengers never fared a cooler calculator. . 'I hear the Masters champion never repeats," Jackie said. certainly, I know that others were favored, such as Ben Hogan ana Lary Middlecoff. They should be, on their records. "But never once did I think about these things. "So there's just one thine in my mind. I go out there to beat the course, to play the best possible golf I can. Then if that isn't good enougn, it s just too bad. ' If Jackie were the type to get concerned. Middlecoff. the Nation al Open champion, and Hogan, one oi tne great goiters of our era, wouldn't be on his "worry" list Middlecoff, missing six putts of under tnrce Icet, soared to a 79, Hogan shot a 76.

And they, plus a few good- looking rookies, are the reasons that a wonderful man named Lefty O'Doul looks forward to his oops, let's face it 41st year in baseball with the same enthus iasm of the Sprig O'Doul who was a terror at the plate in the major leagues many years ago. Most of these men were with the Rainiers last year and they were good enough to give Seattle second place in the final stand ings. Some Young Prospects O'Doul has some pitchers who. as the saying goes, have been around, Larry Jansen, reliefer Bill Kennedy, Red Munger, Joe Black. Seattle also has some young prospects for pitching, Gene Hay den, for one, and ultimate re placements for the older division if and when they stop hitting .300. At the moment, however, Mr. O'Doul is conceding nothing to no body in the Coast League. BILL RIGNEY defeats. He had an earned run average of 2.66, third best In the league.

The bull-necked middleweight boxing champion is looking ahead to his biggest payday. He stands to collect about $80,000 in his 30 30 percentage cut with Sugar Ray Robinson of the gate and TV pro ceeds for defense ot his crown May 1 at Chicago Stndicm. When Fullmer defeated Robin son for the title last Jan. 2, in New. York, he got only $20,915 while Sugar Ray pocketed $138,- 190. But I got the title, and now It's- starting to pay off," says Fullmer.

They're quite sure the pain and the calcium are related, mere arc tnrce una which weren't visible before." Erskine, with a 113-69 won-lost record in the majors after a 13-11 mark last season, said that "while these new ultrasonic treatments are no overnight cure, I'll be pitching again before you know it." Spooner's case is almost Iden tical. The 25-year-old lefthander, who broke into the majors with back-to-back shutouts and a rec ord for strikeouts (27) in two suc cessive games late in 1954 but has not been nearly as impressive since, said he has calcium de posits "in my left shoulder socket.
