B
Palmer, Snead Pace Field
Into Second Round of PGA
By LEO H. PETERSEN
UPI Sporii Editor
. Akron, Ohio -flJPB- Golfing's
new king - Arnold Palmer -and
one of Its old ones-Sam
my Snead - led the field into
the second round of the PGA
championship today.
', Palmer, driving well but
putting only "so-so," showed
the way as the 4-1 favorite
when he fired a three-under-par
67 over the long narrow
fairways of the 7,165 yard
Firestone Country club course.
That was one stroke better
than Snead, and two blows
better than Paul Harney and
Freddie Haas. Right behind
. them came Don January, Ken
.Venturi, Doug Sanders and
Don Fairfield with even par
; 70's.
, Palmer, with official mon
ey - winnings of $66,610 al
ready in his pocket, is trying
to add the PGA crown to the
Masters and U.S. Open cham
pionships for a "big three'
slam..
Tlie iron-nerved, muscular
Pennsylvanian came from be
hind to win the Masters and
the Open.
Now he's in front and he
isn't used to that.
"But I'm hoping to stay
there," said Palmer.
Complains About Putter
He complained that his
putter - which has been his
bread and butter club - let
him down "a bit" Thursday
In carding that 67. He shot the
front nine in 34, one under
the card, and the treacherous
back nine in 33, two under.
"I sank some good ones, but
missed some easy ones," he
said.
He also didn't like the fact
that five of his drives caught
the rough. But when they
strayed he recovered, usually
with long Irons in a majestic
manner. Typical was his re
covery on the 465-yard par
four 18th.
Palmer hooked into the
' wiry rough, with some trees
between the ball and the
green. But he lashed an amaz
ing three iron shot out of that
mattress of grass and even put
bite on it to send it to within
20 feet of the pin. It took him
two putts to get down, but
that three iron shot was the
payoff in taking the lead.
Palmer had only five one-
putt greens, below bis aver
age. But those other clubs in
his bag saved him.
Plays It Cartfully
He played it carefully. On
the 625-yard par five 16th, as
tough a hole as these players
have had to face in a major
golf championship m years.
he used a three wood off the
tee, "just to make sure that
the ball would wind up in the
fairway.
Then he used that three
wood again for his second
shot, leaving him a wedge to
the green, where his 18-foot
. birdie attempt hung on the
lip.
Palmer was happy with his
game: Snead wasn t.
He stomped off the 18th
green immediately to the prac
tice tee, complaining, "I play
ed awful."
Snead .trying for his fourth
PGA title, had nines of 35-33
He birdied that long 16th
hole when he wedged his third
shot 12 feet from the pin and
sank the putt. But a lot of
other golfers came to brief on
the hole.
Wall Takes An Eight
Art Wall, golf's leading
money-winner last year, took
an eight there when his sec
ond shot landed behind a tree,
James Yates of Atlanta, Ga.,
did even worse. He put his
fourth shot into the middle of
the lake in front of the green
for an eventual nine.
In the field of 184 shooting
for this one, 10 players were
grouped four strokes behind
Palmer at 71. They were
George Bayer, Jim Ferree, Al
Besselink, Ernie Vossler, Bill
Collins, Don Whitt, Jim Fer-
rier, Bob Harris, Ed Griffiths
and John O Donnell.
Defending champion Bob
Rosburg, who started out with
a birdie and eagle, wound up
with a 74 - and that's where
Ben Hogan wound up, too.
Dow Finsterwald, the 1958
PGA king, had a 73 along with
Mike Souchak.
Two former winners, Doug
Ford and Lionel Hebert, were
at 75. Two other ex-champs,
Vic Ghezzi and Jim Tunesa
were at 76 along with former
U.S. Open champion Jack
Fleck.
At 72 were Tommy Bolt
and Walter Burkomo. Cary
Middlccoff and Jackie Burke
were grouped in the 73 brack-
el with Finsterwald, Souchak
and Shelly Mayficld.

The Guardsmen, with the
aid of their own 13 hits and
nine adversary miscues, out

in the fifth when Salt Lake
got its lone run on two safe
ties.
The win was the ninth in
12 decisions for 40-year-old
Elmer, who struck out six and
walked but one. The Solons
clinched it in the first inning
when Buddy Shields tripled in
one run and later scored on a
single.
Palica at Bast
Palica, the circuit's ERA
leader, was his clutch-pitching
best against Vancouver. He
gave up seven hits, but kept
the Mounties away from home
plate as he posted his fourth
shutout and eighth victory.
Gordy Coleman hit a three-
run homer for Seattle and Bill
Hain drove in the other two
Rainier marks with a single.
Fisher had trouble with
San Diego all the way but he
managed to wiggle out of the
jams to finally score his 10th
victory after failing to do so
five straight times. Jose Pa
gan provided the Tacoma pow
er getting a triple, a double
and a single in five trips.
Stan Johnson paced the
Padres at the platter with a
perfect four-for-four night.
Kennedy, 39-year-old lefty,
sat on the league-leading In
dians over the last four frames
to save the victory for Port
land starter Bill Griffin. The
reliever got in a jam of his
own in the ninth when Spo
kane got one run but a double
play got him out of it.
The Beavers clinched it
with a four-run outburst in
the fourth. Billy Wilson had
hit a solo homer for the Beav
ers earlier.
The teams change oppo
nents tonight. Spokane stays
home to host Vancouver, Seat
tle goes to Portland, Sacra
mento moves into Tacoma, and
Salt Lake visits San Diego.
