May Bench Velerani Because of that youth pro gram, such established veter ans as outfielders Harry An derson, once a big gun in the Philadelphia attack, and Wal- iy aTost, who always usea to i be among the leaders in homejTfQQC Ffl.fi IfiS runs, may be silting on thei vf 1bVIW bench. Eale Point-Prospect, with lwo rookies, John Callison, who hit .299 at Indianapolis last season, and Ken Walters, up from Fort Worth where he batted .291, may win regular outfield berths. Callison was the youngster the Chicago White Sox once tabbed as one of the game's coming stars. They gave him up for third baseman Gene Freese in an attempt to strengthen their attack. Both Callison and Walters normally are center fielders. But Bob Del Greco, a good glove man with a weak bat. may be in that spot flanked! by the two rookies, Had Many Trials Del Greco has had a lot of major league trials, but never made it because of his lack of hitting. Sawyer is hoping he can hit .270 - he batted .286 at Buffalo in 1959 -and if he does that he'll keep the job. B. G. Smith, another fine 1 fielder with a weak bat, also may stick as a utility man along with Dave Philley, one of tne Best pinch-mlters in the league last season. There isn't one infield spot set although Ed Bouchee has the inside track for first base. But he hasn't looked too good in spring exhibition games. Sawyer has been experi menting with Pancho Herrera, who hit .327 at Buffalo last season, at second, although he usually plays either first or third. If Herrera is needed at first, George Anderson, who played the spot last season, or Ted Lepcio, the ex-American leaguer, would take over at second. Koppa at Short Joe Koppe probably will be the shortstoD desnile hi 9R1 batting average last year. L,epcio also can play that po sition as well as third base. The veteran Al Dark doesn't exactly have a lock on third base, but Sawyer hopes to gel "at least 80 good games" out of him. Bob Malkmus, who couldn't make it with the Sen ators but won another major league chance when he hit .300 at Denver In 1959, could win an infield utility spot.

Palmer, star of the win ter golf trail, was installed as a 5-1 favorite in the opening odds.

(UPO - Arnold Palmer, golf's leading money winner this year, was installed I 3 1 favorite today to win tht Masters tournaneut which begins Thursday. But for every three who liked him, there was one who felt that Sammy Snead could upset the odds and become the first four-time Masters winner. Snead himself was thinking along the same lines although he was third choice in the betting. Mike Souahak was the sec ond choice at 5-1 followed by Snead at 8-1. Palmer, who already has won S26.700 in 1960. won the Masters in 1958 and was tied for the lead after three rounds last year. He wound up third behind Art Wall and Cary Middlecoff. Because of in juries and illness Wall will not be able to defend the line. supplied Tuesday by Daryl Spencer of the St. Louis Car dinals, whose two-run homer in the ninth inning helped ' beat his old San Francisco Giant teammates. 9-5, and Bob Skinner of the Pirates, whose , three-run homer with one out in the ninth beat the Phil lies, 7-5. Bob Allison of the Wash ington Senators, stealing the thunder from teammate Har mon Killebrew, was the only man to hit two homers. -Sluggers Hold Sway But the sluggers held sway just about everywhere in the sunny climes. The only game that failed to produce a hom er was the Milwaukee Braves' 5-3 victory over the Cincin nati Reds and that also was the only night game on the schedule. There were five homers in the Cards-Giants game, five in Kansas City's 13-5 rout of Washington, four in Cleve land's 8-4 victory over Los Angeles, three in Boston's 12 9 slugfest over the Chicago Cubs, three in the Detroit Tigers' 14-4 drubbing of the Baltimore Orioles, two in the New York Yankees' 9-3 tri umph over the Chicago White Sox and five in the Phils Pirates game.. enjoy the true old-style Kentucky Bourbon I . nlwnys smoother because it's slow-distilled KENTUCKY STRAIGHT I BOURBON WHISKY 16 PROOF EARLY TIMES DISTILLERY CO, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Augusta, Ga.-WPD-Look out for the tong ball hitters wa the watchword at the Masters today in short, Arnold Pal mer, Mike Souchak and Sam my Snead. "I figure," said Jackie Burke, the 1956 Masters cham pion, "that the power hitters have a two stroke advantage on every round. That gives them an eight atroke edgt for four rounds and makes it mighty hard for the rest of us to make up. The only way you can beat them ii with dead-eye approaching and sensational putting." . He doesn't figure that any one in the 90-man field for the 24th Masters golf tour ney is going to come up with enough of that approaching and putting to beat Palmer, Souchak and Snead. The Masters course is a long one 6,980 yards. It's ideal for the power hitler. "Even if you stray your drives, you can't get into too much trouble," observed Ben Hogan, a two-time winner of this golfing classic.
