Arnold Palmer Nabs
Masters Golf Lead
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sports Editor
Augusta, Ga. -UJPll- Arnold
Palmer conquered his jinx
hole, so he figured today that
he was well on the road to his
second Masters golf cham
pionship. He held a two stroke lead
over the field going into the
second round and it looked
like there would be no
stopping him-especially if he
can keep out of "Palmer's
pond."
He did Thursday to shoot
a brilliant five under par 67
-two strokes better than his
nearest first round pursucrs
thc veteran Claude Harmon,
former PGA champion Dow
Finsterwald, Juy Herbert and
Fred Hawkins.
And while that par three
155-yard water hole turned
out to be a major factor in
Palmer's round it turned out
to be a nightmare for Ken
Venturl.
The 29-year-old Californian
had burned up the front
nine in 31-five under par,
equalling the course record
and looked like a good bet
to" overhaul Palmer until he
came to that vital 12th.
Gets Bad Break
Where Palmer got a good
break on the hole, Venturi
got a bad one, and it so un
nerved him that he soared
to a six over par 42 on the
back nine to wind up with a
total of 73.
That duplicated his per
formance of 1950, when as
an amateur, it looked like he
had the championship in the
bag, but went to pieces on
the back nine, wound up with
that bugaboo 42 and lost out
by one stroke to Jackie
Burke.
Palmer, the 1958 winner,
lost his chance to win last
year when he put his tee shot
In the water on that 12th hole
and wound up with a double
bogey. Thursday, his tee shot
imbedded in the lip of a sand
trap. The officials ruled he
was entitled to a free lift.
Twice he dropped the ball
over his shoulder, and twice
it went into the sand trap.
Because golfing rules stipu
late you can't drop a ball into
a hazard it finally was ruled
that Palmer could drop It in
the grass near the green. He
did and got his par three.
Goes To Pieces
Venturi put his six iron
over the green. He had such
a bad lie that he failed to
chip his second shot on. He
made it with his third, but
then two-putted from five
feet. His game went to pieces
after that.
There was a lot of drama
bdsides that 12th hole in
Thursday's first round.
It attracted the largest first
day gallery in the history of
U.S. golf tournaments-art, es
timated 17,000. It saw 11 play
ers in the 84-man field break
par over the 6,980-yard Au
gusta National course. That's
the second best par-busting

Off -Season Deals
Make Giants Look
Sharper Than Ever
This Is the l Mh of 16 dispatch
es on the I960 prospects of the
major league teams.
By SCOTT BAILLIE
Phoenix, Ariz.- (UPU -Well,
can the San Francisco Giants
win it this time?
Last season they led the
National league for almost 10
weeks, then collapsed in the
late stages and finished third
when the pitching staff ran
out of gas.
Now Manager Bill Rigney,
who only has a one-year con
tract this time, has been neat
ly placed on the spot by a
pair of off-season deals which
make the team look sharper
than ever. On paper, that is.
The pitching staff was
strengthened by the acquisi
tion of southpaw Billy O Dell
(10-12) and Billy Loes (4-7)
from Baltimore.
And the club also got Don
Blaslngame, one of the
league's best second basemen,
from St. Louis.
"I'd think they'd win the
pennant now." Johnny Tem
ple, the former Cincinnati sec
ond baseman, recently said at
the Cleveland training camp.
"Tht.v pot two good pitchers
whien they needed and gave
up nothing for 'em."
"We'll be Contender'
Rigney. naturally, isn't say
ing anything like that.
"All I feel is that we'll be
a contender.'' the tense man
ager declares. "The experience
of last year helped us and
our defense is better. Our
pitching is deeper. But we
still need a stronger bench."
O'Dell figures in Rigney's
plans as an extra starter or
middle-inning pitcher. Erratic
Loes, it is hoped, will be the
late-inning rally stopper. That
means that the Giants now
have a premium starting staff
which includes Sam Jones
(21-15), southpaw Johnny An
tonelli (19-10) and Mike Mc
Cormick (12-16) and right
hander Jack Sanford (15-12).
George Zuverink, former
Baltimore right-hander now
on a "look" from the Miami
Marlins, also has shown well
in spring games and might
give the staff added depth.
The infield could be the
best in the league. Willie Mc
Covey, who batted .354 last
year while winning the
Rookie of the Year award, is
installed at first base. He
hopes to have a better all
around season, which means
that his fielding still needs
some 'Improvement.
Blasingame, a sharp lcadoff
man, is at second and much
is expected of him. Ed Bres
soud is at shortstop and Jim

Davenport, the little master
of the big play, holds down
third.
In the outfield, the big
question mark is in left field
where Orlando Cepeda will
open his first full season at
that position. Winner of the
1958 rookie of the year award
as a first baseman, he was
bumped off the job last July
when McCovey checked in.
Cepeda has had limited out
field experience.
"We'll try to correct any
wearinesses Cepeda might
have," Rigney said. "And
don't forget, there is Willie
Mays in center to help him."
On the other side of Mays,
baseball's highest salaried
player, will be either left
handed hitting Willie Kirk
land, who has the power, or
right-handed batting Felipe
Alou, who posses the speed
and glove.
In order to add some badly
needed left-handed batting
strength, the Giants acquired
outfielder-first baseman Jim
Marshall in a deal with the
Red Sox and purchased first
baseman Dale Long from the
Cubs. Both are expected to
be used in pinch-hitting roles.
Hobie Landrith was listed
as the Giant's starting catcher,
but broke a finger in spring
training and may miss open
ing day. Bob Schmidt, who
had the job in 1958 but lost
it to Landrith last season, will
take over. Schmidt is a long
ball hitter but not as good
a receiver as little Hobie.
Andre Rogers, who failed
to make the grade as a short
stop last year, now is being
tried out at third and first
base as a possible utility man.
Joey Amalfitano, whom the
Giants signed as a bonus play
er in 1954 then drafted last
winter from Toronto where
he hit .308.
Can Rigney make his club
live up to its advance notices?
"We'll do our best, that's
all," he barks.

4-Minute Mile
Cunliffe Goal
San Francisco (UPD Ernie
Cunliffe, handsome Stanford
senior, will take a shot at the
four-minute mile Saturday
when he races against men
from Kansas and San Jose
State in a triangle meet.
And the way Coach Bud
Winter of the Spartans and
Coach Payton Jordan of Stan
ford talk, Ernie is capable of
being the second United
States citizen ever to crack
the barrier.
While Europeans and Aus
tralians have been under the
magic figure In droves since
Roger Bannister first electri
fied the sports world with his
feat, only Don Bowden of
this country has been able to
join the elite.
"But this boy cunliffe,"
says Winter, "is so well con
ditioned right now and run
ning so smoothly, that he
could do It if everything goes
right."

Straight
Yankees are starting to play
like the Yankees again.
Now It's three straight vic
tories for the former rulers
of the American league, the
latest a 2-1 triumph over De
troit behind the combined
three-hit pitching of Bob Tur
ley and Ryne Duren. That
sounds more like the Yankee
world champs of 1958 than
the third-place flops of 1959.
Even Casey Stengel will ad
mit that Grapefruit league
victories aren't worth a dime
in October, but this was the
second straight fine perform
ance by Turley-who has been
tabbed the key to the Yankee
pennant hopes.
Firing Rock Again
Turley, who has abandoned
the no-windup style and is fir
ing that rock again, ran his
string of scoreless innings to
12 before tiring in the seventh
inning of Thursday's game
and allowing a run on Neil
Crisley's double and Steve
Bilko's single. When he walk
ed the next batter, Duren got
the call.
That produced more bad
news for Yankee foes, because
Duren -like Turley -was in
1958 rather than 1959 form.
He finished the game without
allowing a hit and blazed a
