Bedford Jack Burke Leader In Masters Tourney Augusta, Ga. (U.R) Two Portland entries in the Master's golf tournament came up with identical scores Thursday. Both Bruce Cudd and Dick Yost fired 74's, just three strokes off the pace set by Jackie Burke Jr. By WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer Augusta, Ga. (U.R) De fending champion Jack Burke Jr., earned a shaky one-stroke lead today into the second round of the highest-scoring Masters Golf tournament in 21 years. And that lead was in im- Siiberman's Race Track License Cut Miami (U.R) Heavy-betting Saul Silberman was ready to take his chances on the Florida Supreme Court today to save him from losing his $4,000,000 Tropical Park race track. The "state racing commission Thursday revoked the license of Tropical Park Inc., because its president made huge bets "on credit" through the parimutuel machines and permitted his pri vate telephone to be used for calls to a convicted Cleveland bookmaker. But attorneys for the stumpy, roly-poly millionaire said Silber man would apply by the May 1 deadline for Tropical's regular racing dates, starting shortly after Thanksgiving. In the mean time, an appeal will be rushed to the state Supreme Court. The commission plans to allot racing dates for the 1957-58 season on May 15. Chuck Spieser Choice in Fight Detroit (U.R) Two of the hardest punchers to come along the lightweight pike in many a day meet tonight in a 12-rounder for the right to try and knock the crown off the graying head of ol' Archie Moore. Olympia Stadium promoter Nick Londes said a crowd of 10,000 will pay close to $25,000 to watch the nationally televised fight. Chuck Spieser of Detroit and Tony Anthony of New York at weigh-in time stood in the peak of condition, both well under the 175-pound limit. Spieser, 27, hairy-chested, bald-headed mus cleman out of Michigan State University and Olympic boxing, was at 172V4. Anthony, slim, brownskinned ex-Golden Glover, was about a pound heavier. Top-ranked contender Spieser was favored at more than 2-1.

DaV" Everettt 1791 mm Medford Host for mediate danger of an assault by veteran pro Marty Furgol of Le mont, 111. Halted by darkness after shooting par golf for 17 holes Thursday, Furgol needed only a birdie on the 18th today to deadlock with curly-haired Jackie for the top spot. After todays second round, the huge field of 100 will be chopped to the low 40 plus ties for the last two rounds the first time the Masters has had to set any qualification test for its select field. A Strange Masters But then this is a strange Masters tournament where no player in 100 could do better than Burke's one-under-par 71 on opening day. This is the first Masters since 1936, when Light horse Harry Cooper led the field with 70 in the first round, that only one player was able to crack par for the first day. A high wind, offshoot to tor nadic conditions in the South, was one factor in the high scoring. Another was the con touring and placing of the pins on the expansive Augusta Na tional greens which could double for heliports in an emergency. Burke got his lead on one spectacular hole, the 12th, with an eagle. His second landed on the brink of a creek but rolled away instead of into the water. and he dribbled a 55-footer into the cup. Below Burke's standout 71, the Masters looked more like the interzone finals of the Davis Cup for tennis than an American golf tournament. Two Aussies British Open champion Peter Thomson of Melbourne and Aus tralian Open champion Bruce Crampton of Sydney were grouped at par 72 with Doug Ford of Mahopac, N.Y., top money winner of 1957, and the two men who have won the Masters three times "previously, Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead. A Foreign Challenge The 73's included two other British Empire men veteran Henry Cotton of London and Al Balding, Canadian PGA cham pion from Islington, Ont. It was far and away the biggest foreign challenge to American control of the Masters and its 21 play- lngs. All four Britons were m excellent positions. The two Australians, Thom son and the muscular Crampton, only 21, were finalists in the Australian Open with the kid winning. Night fell before the big field quite finished and Fred Haas of New Orleans who was play ing with Furgol, also had a choice of finishing or waiting until today. He elected to finish and took a 74 although at one point on the back nine he had a chance to catch Burke. Years c r sjo fvin is 74 M-11MY CO.

(U.R) Albert Wiggins, who already has captured one title on the strength of an unusual officials' ruling, will try to complete a "triple" in the National AAU swimming championships today by defend ing his backstroke and butterfly crowns. Five events were scheduled in the competition at Welch Pool today, with Wiggins' attempts to win both the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard backstroke in the spotlight. Richard Hartley of Ann Arbor, Mich., NCAA ff iple-crown cham pion who lost the 100-yard free style crown to Wiggins in Thurs day night's unusual ruling, will defend his title today in the 220- yard freestyle. Placing judges gave Wiggins the nod over Hanley in the 100 yard freestyle final although the timers clocked Hanley in 50.8 seconds and Wiggins in 50.9. Judges have that power under AAU rules.
