8 MAIL TRIBUNE, McdfenJ, Oregon, Monday, April 7, 1958 moid Palmer Masters Golfing namp By TOM PRICE Augusta, Ga. (W Care ful study, plus an argument that he won, and a putt that he hit "too hard" all added up today to a green coat for Arnold Palmers, symbolic of his victory in the 22nd Mast ers golf tournament. Palmer was also SI 1,250 richer with the winner's share of the fattest Master's purse in history. The sum pushed Erskine Regains Position In Dodqer Hill Rotation Houston. Tex. rtPi Vete ran Carl Erskine has pitched his way back into the Los An geles Dodgers' starting rota tion. The 31-year-old righthander was a definite question mark when he first reported to the Dodgers' spring training site at Vero Beach, Fla., six weeks ago. Plagued by arm trouble most of last year, there was even a question as to whether he would be kept by the club this season. Erskine, probably the most popular member on the Dodgers outside of Peewee SF Giants Victors 9-7 Over Tribe Austin, Tex. IP) The San Francisco Giants, determin edly piling up an impressive won-lost record this spring, went after the 10th victory in 14 starts against Cleveland today. The Giants, already Cactus league champions, defeated the Indians, 9-7, Sunday at San Antonio after edging the Tribe, 5-4, at El Paso Satur day. Pinch Hitter Bob Schmidt drove home the winning run In Sunday's tilt with a dou ble in the 10th. A pair of walks after Schmidt's blast gave the Giants the insurance run. Cleveland had tied the con test at 7-7 in the eighth with three runs off Paul Giel. The score remained unchanged un til the fatal 10th. Homers Hit Willie Mays and Willie Kirkland pacd the winners with a homer apiece while Larry Doby had the Tribe's only round-tripper, connect ing in the first with one aboard. Mays' homer was only his second hit in his last 14 trips to the plate. Ramon Monzant pitched the first seven innings for the Giants, giving up only four hits. He was tagged for four runs, however, when Doby hit for the distance in the first and the Indians put together three runs in the seventh with a pair of bloopers and a dou ble. The San Franciscans push ed across a run in the last half of the ninth in Saturday's con test to win the first of their nine-game homeward swing. SEATTLE WINS Neuvo Laredo, Mex. (IP) . The Seattle Rainiers, with half a dozen of the squad's top men sidelined with stom ach disorders, dropped a 10 inning 4-3 decision to Dallas Sunday. TiUIMIIK helps you do the job FASTER, EASIER and BETTER Delivered SP 2-5271 ion; licks the 23-year-old Latrobe, Pa., professional well ahead of the field in the money-winning category. Palmer's steady 73 in Sun day's final round of the tour nament gave him a 72-hole card of 284, four strokes bet ter than par, but barely one stroke ahead of defending champion Doug Ford of Mah opec, N.Y., and underrated Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Reese, worked harder than anyone else in camp and if there was any remaining question about his arm, he eliminated it Sunday in an 11-5 victory over the world champion Milwaukee Braves at Fort Worth. Don Newcombe started for the Dodgers and was socked for six hits and four runs in four innings. Erskine then took over and the only run scored off him in the five in nings he worked was a pinch homer by Bob Hazle in the seventh. The Braves were able to collect only two other hits off him. Proved He Can Win " "Erskine proved to me that he can start and win for us this year," said Manager Walt Alston after the game. "His ball was moving all the time." Dodger hitters treated Mil waukee's world series ace, Lew Burdette, as if he were a batting practice pitcher, shell ing him from the box with a six-run barrage in the first in ning. The Dodgers continued their attack on Burdette's suc cessors. Bob Trowbridge and Humberto Robinson. Rookie third baseman Dick Gray, whose chances of stick ing before Sunday were not too strong, strengthened his bid for a berth with a banner day that included a three-run homer off Trowbridge, a dou ble and a single. He drove in five runs in all. The Dodgers face the Braves here again today with Johnny Podres and Larry Sherry slated to oppose Bob Rush and Warren Spahn. Central Point Stays Unbeaten In Volleyball Central Point maintained its unbeaten status in the Med-ford- YMCA women's invita tional volleyball tourney on Saturday by defeating Crater Girls No. 2 by 15-6, 15-2.

Ford and Hawkins each missed birdie putts on the 18th green that would have thrown the tournament into an 18-hole playoff. Palmer explained his vic tory by saying he studied the course and the way the past Masters' winners had played it. Watched for Chances "I noticed they took chances on certain holes and on others they didn't," he said. "I played it the same way." He said his biggest gamble was on the 457-yard 13th hole with its par-five green guarded by a deep ravine. He decided to try for the green with a three wood on his sec ond shot rather than play ing it short of the ditch and safe. His superb shot was 20 feet to the left of the pin, leaving him a downhill put. Instead of being content to roll the ball close to the cup for a sure birdie, Palmer de cided again to go for broke. "I hit the putt a little too hard," he said. "But it went in" for an eagle three. Actually, the prize Masters plum was both won and lost Sunday on the treacherous 13th green. Ford was also on the green in two and had a much easier putt than Pal mer had a few minutes earlier. However, Ford three-putted from 11 feet and took a par instead of the eagle that would have won him the tour nament or the birdie that would have put him and Pal mer into a playoff. The three-putt miseries also plagued pre-tournament fav orite Ken Venturi of San Francisco. It took him a total of 12 putts to get down on four holes, the 6th, 14th, 15th and 16th. Despite his troubles on the greens, Venturi, who Kegler Has 757 Series Albany, Ore.

Putted Out of Game "I thought I played well but I putted my way right out of the title," the slim, 27 year-old San Franciscan said "After I three-putted three greens in a row, the only way I could have won was for the whole field to drop dead." Asked about the controver sial ruling which gave Pal mer a par three instead of a double bogey five on the 12th hole, Venturi said "I knew he could lift the ball legally and I played every hole after that as if he had gotten a three. Palmer's tee shot on the short, 155-yard hole landed in the bank between the far side of the green and a sand trap. Heavy recent rains had washed sand out of tlje trap onto the bank and Palmer's ball was buried in the muck. Two U. S. Golf Association officers ordered Palmer to play the lie. He flubbed an attempt to dig the ball out and wound up with a five. However, he played the lie under protest and dropped a provisional ball which he sank with a chip and a putt for par. Scoreboards on the course showed a five, but were changed to three after a rules committee decision. Palmer, meanwhile was banging home his eagle on the very next hole. Augusta. Ga.
