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.

Isaac Logart
Takes on Scott
Washington - (UPD - Veteran
welterweight Isaac Logart of
Cuba tries to avenge a split
decision loss to young Charlie
Scott tonight in a nationally
televisied (NBC) starting at
7 p.m. (PST) from the New
Capital arena.
Logart was upset March 16
by the 22-year-old Chicagoan
at New York's St. Nicholas
arena in the Cuban's Ameri
can fight after a three-fight
South American tour. Odds
makers rate Logart as a 9-5
favorite to win the rematch.
The rangy Scott, making his
national television debut, has
high hopes of climbing into
prominence at Logart's ex
pense. The Cuban is ranked
fifth in his division.
Scott has won five of his
last seven fights, three by
knockouts.
Since turning pro at 16,
Scott has a record of 21 wins
-11 by knockout - and nine
losses. Logart, a 10-year vet
eran, has won 55 fights - 11
by KO lost 11 and drawn
seven times.
Logart views the Scott bout
a "must" if he is to get an
other crack .t welterweight
champ Don Jordan. He lost to
Jordan a few months before
the champ was crowned in
1958.
