that he won, and a putt that
he hit "too hard" all added
up today to a green coat for

his victory in the 22nd Mast

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

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)

half a dozen of the squad's

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.

Ford, Hawkins
Tex. 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

International
Votes to Open
Season in Cuba
Miami. Fla. (IP) The In
ternational League plans to
play baseball in Havana as
scheduled this season so long
as the players do not have to
dodge bullets.
Officials of the Triple-A
league voted at a two and one
half hour meeting here Sun
day to open the season in Ha
vana on Apsil 16 as planned
unless "conditions materially
change."
League President Frank
Shaughnessy defined a ma
terial change as "if they start
shooting people over there."

Bobby Maduro. owner of
the Havana Sugar Kings, as
sured other league officials
that threats of revolution have
not affect on the enthusiasm
of sports-loving Cubans.
"Baseball is like a religion
to the Cuban people," Maduro
said. "Nothing bothers the
game there."
Shaughnessy called the
meeting after John C Stigl
meier, president of the Buf
falo Bisons, said he was "re
luctant" to send his players to
Cuba because of the "tension
and threat of war."

day score of 286.
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.

II Tempo Says
Rome Outstrips
Squaw Valley
Rome, Italy OP) A Rome
newspaper claimed today that
this city is far outstripping
Squaw Valley, Calif., in prep
arations for 1960 Olympic
Games competition.
The newspaper II Tempo
called Italian efforts to get
ready for the 1960 summer
games here "a fine success"
and characterized Squaw Val
ley's attempts to prepare for
the winter games by "a lack
of everything."
Only Plans
. The newspaper contrasted
sports facilities already in ex
istence or under construction
here with what it called "only
plans" in California.
The paper also claimed that
Italy's Olympic preparations
also exceed past efforts for
summer games in Belgium,
France, the United States,
England, and Australia. In
connection with the Los An
geles Olympics of 1932, it as
serted that "large use was
made of existing sports facili
ties, scattered in a radius of
100 miles."
