(UPI Telephoto) Dodgers, Yanks Picked To Cop Major League Baseball Flags Chicago Cubs Improved Much Over 1959 Season Br LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Augusta, Ga. - OIPD - Walt Alston says the. Dodgers should win, Casey Stengel says the Yankees could win. That's good enough for this observer, who takes them at their word, and picks the Dodgers and Yankees to win the 1960 pennants. It could be that after three weeks in Squaw Valley and a month in Florida watching the major league clubs based there, that finally the whiz of flying golf balls has confused the picture beyond repair. Anyhow, here is how they look to us from this vantage point at the Masters tournament; National Dodgers Braves Giants Pirates Reds Cardinals Cubs Phillies American Yankees White Sox Indians Tigers Orioles Athletics Senators Red Sox Here, in one of the golfing capitols of the world - far away from the parka, ski pants and ski boots of the Winter Olympics, but only a short distance away from those Florida spring training Palmer Keeps Masters Lead At End of Three Rounds By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Augusta, Ga. -flJPB- Favored Arnold Palmer fought off a cantankerous putter, a bone chilling wind and a hungry pack at his heels to fire an even par 72 Saturday and stay a stroke ahead of the tightly-bunched Masters field. Palmer had to battle all the way to post a 34-38 that, cou pled with his previous two rounds of 67 and 73, gave him a 212 and made him the first man in Masters history ever to lead the field all alone for the first three rounds. Smack at his heels at 213 were five others-always-dangerous Ben Hogan, Julius Boros, Dow Finsterwald, Ken Venturl and U S. open cham pion Billy.

Pacific Hwy. SP 3-3160 BIG Y yard layout, saw the Llgonler, Pa., pro take what seemed an eternity before making up his mind what club to use for his third shot on the. 17th after he had overshot the green with his second. Bogey Five He asked his caddy for one club, then changed his mind and went to his wedge. He hit the ball 10 feet past the pin and missed the putt coming back, giving him a bogey five on the 400-yard hole. Palmer, who had three-putted the eighth and 11th holes previously, wasn't out of the woods yet. He hit his second shot on the par four, 420-yard 18th a bit too fat and the ball struck the lip of the trap and Just did roll onto the edge of the green. ,, , Taking plenty of time, Palmer putted to within a foot of the cup and then got down with his next one. Boros' two-under-par 34-36 -70 was the best score turned in during a day which started warm and mild and ended chilly and windy. Boros was at 143 before the start of the third round, three strokes behind Palmer, and he made up two of them. The 40-year-old, bull-shoul- CP Man Sentenced On Burglary Charge Arden Thurston, 28, of route 2, box 188, Central Point, Friday was sentenced to 2 years, 6 months in the Oregon state penitentiary in circuit court for burglary not in a dwelling. Thurston pleaded guilty to charges of burglarizing Tom Thumb's service station on Table Rock rd. of saddles and horse gear. Jerald Deemon Couch, 21, of 31 North Orange St., Med ford, Friday received a sus pended imposition of sentence for three years for burglary not in a dwelling. Couch had pleaded guilty to the burglary of the Bay City Oyster com pany, 712 South Grape st., re cently. Police had apprehend ed him in the plant. dered Boros had three birdies and one bogey on the 18th when he chipped five feet past the hole on his third shot and required two putts coming back. Compared with Boros' round, Palmer had four bird ies and the same number of bogeys. Hogan in Contention Hogan, who shot back Into contention with a 68 Friday following a first round 73, shot a 35-37-72 Saturday al though, like Palmer, he three- putted two different greens. Ben got a bad break on the par four 365-yard seventh when his tee shot hit Into the crowd and landed a few yards behind a tree. But Hogan re covered brilliantly by hitting through the tree to. within four feet of the pin from where he got down in one Dutt for a birdie. Finsterwald also recovered well from the two-stroke pen alty that was assessed on him Friday by shooting a 36-36-72 to go with his previous rounds of 71 and 70; Venturi contin ued his comeback from a wretched back nine of 42 on the opening day with a 34-37-71, and Casper shot the same, 37-34. Little Gary Player of Jo hannesburg, South Africa put together a 36-36-72 that put him all alone In third place with 215, while portly Claude Harmon of Mamaroneck, N. Y., only one stroke back be fore yesterday soared to a 75 and had to settle for a 216 to tal. That tied him with Stan Leonard, who fired his third straight 72; Wally Burkemo, who had a 75, and Don Janu ary, who had a 74. Moscow PJPD Premier Ni klta Khrushchev, who was a miner in the Ukraine before the Bolshevik revolution, has won the highest award of the Soviet Mine Workers Union, Tass said today. The Soviet news agency said Khrushchev received the "Miners Glory" badge of the first degree, and a citation "for his efficient activity In building trade unions and tremendous serv ices in developing the coal mining industry of the Soviet Union." camps - It looks like a three team race in each league. The Dodgers are given the edge in the National, off their spectacular showing of last season. Alston points out that the Dodgers haven't gotten "any worse." Now they will have Larry Sherry, their World Series pitching ace, with them all the way. Also, Roger Craig, who won so many key games in the Dodgers' stretch drive. Have Best Pitching The Dodgers are picked be cause they have probably the best pitching in the league, the best rookie prospects -young fellows like Frank Howard and Tommy Davis - a fine defense, speed, the best bench in the league, and just enough power to get by. The Braves, under a new manager, Chuck Dressen, feel they can win it. They felt they should have won last year, despite the loss of their star second baseman, Red Schoen-dienst. Now they have back the old red-head, who had to sit out last year with tuberculo sis, and he looks as good as ever. But they lack the Dodg ers' bench strength, their pitching is older than that of the Dodgers, and they could have an outfield problem un less Wes Covington makes a strong comeback. Despite that Dressen magic they anticipate, their chances of overhauling the Dodgers aren't rated too good. Giants Lose Power The Giants appeared to have the flag locked up last year, but lack of pitching depth and bench strength, cost them the pennant. They have strengthened their pitching staff with the addition of Billy O Dell and Billy Loes, and they plugged a second base weakness by getting Don Blaslngame from the Cardi nals. But the feeling is that to get these men, they gave up too much in the way of power. Their catching is not - -too strong, and they still appear a bit short on pitching, es pecially for middle inning men and late relievers. As for the Yankees! They fell to third last sea. son. They lost their big gun, Bill Skowron, just when they looked like they were going to make a move. Bob Turley was way off form. Mickey Mantle had only a so-so-year, EASY TO BUY!

No need tol Solve prob lems, reduce expense with a Velktwagenl MORSE MOTORS Gil McDougald was far be low standard, Andy Cary was out almost the full season be cause of illness. Stengel thinks they can bounce back. If the brittle Skowron isn't hurt, if Turley pitches up to his 1958 form when he won 21, if McDougald Is the Mc Dougald of old, if Roger Maris, the outfielder obtained from the Athletics, lives up to his potential, if there is anoth er year left in Yogi Berra, and if rookie pitcher Bill Short comes through as expected, the Yankees could take it all. Otherwise, crafty Al Lopez would appear to be in the driver's seat. He added power to his club with the addition of Minnie Minoso and Gene Freese. But his pitching is getting old, and if he should lose one of his front line play ers like Nellie Fox, Luis Apa- ricio, Sherm Lollar or Jim Landis, he really could be in a jam. There' Is no guarantee, either, that Ted Kluszewskl, at 35, can play out the season at first base. If he can't, the White Sox are in even more trouble. Cleveland strengthened its Infield by getting second base man Johnny Temple from the Reds and third baseman Bub- ba Phillips from the White Sox. But they gave up pitch ing, 19-game winner Cal Mc- Lish, and a .302 hitter with 92 RBI's in Minoso. The Indians' young pitchers are rated exceptionally high, but they lack experience, and Cleveland also could use more catching and bench strength. Detroit has a fine front line except for shortstop and first base, but little behind it. Bal timore has the pitching - it could be . the best in the league,- but the suportlng cast, even with the addition of Jackie Brandt in center field, is weak, v . McCULLOUGH SIGNED Washington-fflPD-The Wash lngton Senators today signed 43-year-old ex-National Lea. guer Clyde McCullough as a coach and catching insurance it needed. McCullough, for merly with the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates, had been listed during spring training as a coach for the Charleston, W. Va., farm club, but has been working out regularly with the Senators, (This is the last of 16 dis patches on the 1S80 pros pects of the major league teams.) By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International Mesa, Arii. - (UPD - Charlie Grimm's Chicago Cubs opened the exhibition season by los ing five straight but bounced back to be one ot the spring's surprise teams. "This team has improved all the way over last year's." Grimm says. "I feel that we 11 finish In the first division this season." Last year the Cubs wound up tied with Cincinnati for fifth and played a key role late in September in smashing the San Francisco Giants' pen nant dreams. But it hasn't fin ished in the first division since 1946. Most of the players who ganged up on the San Fran cisco front runners are back with the exception of outfield er Bobby Thomson and pitch er Dave Hillman. Both were traded to the Boston Red Sox. Old-New Faces There are some old-new faces around, however, to go with such proven workmen as School News H. P. Jewett School Mrs. Frances Tonn's first grade room presented a cho ral reading about chickens at the school assembly recently at Jewett school. Some of the children wore costumes. The children also participated in rhythms. Mrs. Rhoda Haskin's pupils viewed a film about Sandy The Snail. This Inspired the children to finger paint pic tures using numerous colors. A unit about trains Is being developed in Mrs. Oakley Bower's first grade room. The children are making a toy train, consisting ot an engine, three cars ana a caboose, cacn car is large enough for one child. shortstop Ernie Banks and outfielder George Altman. The biggest name player to Join the club is center fielder Richie Ashburn, for 12 years a fixture with the Philadel phia Phillies. Ashburn, who is confident he'll shake off the slump which dropped his bat ting average to .266 last year, will have another veteran newcomer beside him in left field-Frank Thomas. Richie was acquired in a deal that sent third baseman Alvin Dark to the Phils while Thom as arrived from Cincinnati as part of a swap in which Lee Walls went to the Reds. Dick Gernert, veteran first baseman-outfielder, also is on hand from the Boston Red Sox. Then there's Del Rice, 37-year-old catcher who was picked up after being let go by Milwaukee. Once a solid receiver for the Cardinals, Rice's assignment will be to help the young pitching corps. "We've eliminated some weak spots with off-season deals and have acquired pow er and speed," Grimm main tains. "We've improved all the way." Pitching Question Mark A big question mark is the pitching staff. Can Moe Dra bowsky (5-10) and Dick Drott (1-2) bounce back to the ear lier form which stamped them as fine prospects? Both have been "humming" the ball well and apparently are tree of the sore arms which both ered them last year. Glen Hobbie, who came through with a 16-13 record and 3.69 earned run average last season, looks like Grimm's staff leader and may be of all-star caliber. Charlie Root, Grimm's pitching team male when the Cubs knew balmier days, is working with other young hurlers and pre dicts they'll be some surprises. Ernie Banks, of course, is set at shortstop and is the team's outstanding attribute. The two -straight National league MVP has been hitting at a .450 clip this spring and looks ready for one of his best seasons. He'll team with Tony Taylor to form the double play combination. Altman, Chicago's rookie of the year in 1959, has been nudged over to right field by Ashburn and says, "I'll play anywhere I'm put." Long George also plans to go after more low pitches this year. He feels that he was called out on strikes a lot last year because he thought the ball was below his knees. In addition to Rice, Grimm has Earl Averill, Sam Taylor and Cal Neeman on deck again for the catching. Aver ill swings the most dangerous bat but is weak defensively. MAIL TRIBUNE, MedrorJ, Or.
