Stan Leonard Takes 2-Stroke Lead in Masters Golf Tussle By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Augusta, Ga. (UP& Canadi an Stan Leonard, who will only own up to 44 years but probably is closer to 50, led the field into the second round of the Masters golf tourna ment today the first foreign player ever to do so. His three-under par 69 Thursday over the rain-soaked windswept Augusta National Golf club course was two strokes better than anyone else as the 68 professionals and 19 amateurs generally found the elements too tough for them. Only three players outside of Leonard, a six-time Canadi an PGA champion who has been a playing pro for 22 years, broke par. They were defending cham pion Arnold Palmer, Jackie Burke and the veteran Chand ler Harper, all of whom came in with one-under-par 71's. There were only five players at par demonstrating how tough the course played Thursday except for Leonard. Leonard Ignores Wind The smiling Canadian played the wind as though he owned it. He .took jonly 30 putts and had six-one-putt greens, as he carded 3 birdies and 15 pars. It was the second best round he ever has played in the six Masters in which he has competed. He had a 68 In 1957 when he finished 12th. At even par were Jay He- bert, Gene Littler, U. S. Open champion Tommy Bolt and two other foreign threats Peter Thomson of Australia and Angel Miguel, the Span iard who won the individual championship in the Canada Cup matches last year. The pre-tournament betting - favorite, three-time Masters champion Sam Snead, tied with 13 other players at 74. Snead couldn't control his approaches because , of -the winds, which were as high as 30 miles an hour. "That wind was enough to drive you crazy," he said. "I just couldn't figure my ap proaches, although I was driv ing well and putting all right." In the 74 bracket with Snead was Cary Middlecoff, who like so many in the first round came to grief on the back nine. Three holes, the 11th, 12th and 13th, all water holes, gave most of them trouble. Among those who came to grief on that treacherous back nine was the 48-year-old Jim my Demaret, who went out in 34, two under par, and then PADRES OUTLAST SALONS Indio, Calif. (UPD The San Diego Padres outlasted the Sacramento Solons to win a 7-6 Pacific Coast league exhi bition training game that went 13 innings Thursday. Gordon Coleman singled in the last frame, stole second and then dashed home for the winning run on a single by Clarence Moore. Paul Robinson was the winning pitcher and Jim Hughes the loser. soared to a 44 when he went into the water on three con secutive holes, starting with the 11th. That gave him a 78. "Man, that water killed me, saia uemaret, wno iise Snead has won this tourney three times. Ben Hogan, Art Wall, Mike Souchak and Gary Player, the little South African, were in the 73 bracket, which includ ed a total of nine players. Among them were the first round amateur leaders-Chuck Kocsis and Bill Hyndman. US. amateur champion Char ley Coe was in the 74 group. Ken Venturi, second choice to Snead in the official odds, was one of 12 players who carded 75's. Also in the group were Julius Boros, Billy Jo Patton and Porky Oliver. PGA champion Dow Finster wald had a big 79, taking 42 on the back nine. The players weren't happy about the weather forecast for today's second round - more winds, but not as strong as Thursday. However, no more rain was forecast so the greens will be faster.
