2 B MONDAY. APRIL 8. 1963 MLDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON JACK NICKLAUS WINS MASTERS WITH 286 CARD; LEMA SECOND By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sport, Writil Augusta, Ga. - MPI) - There is no rest for the weary, so it'll be more' golf today for Master! champions Jackie Nicklaus. who lias chased all those "butterflies" in his bei ly but now has a "grand slam" on his mind. Still weary from his spec tacular $20,000 one-stroke vic tory over the muddy Augusta National Golf Course, the blond, heavy-set 23-year-old Nicklaus will keep a date to play in a pro-amateur tour nament at nearby Atlanta to day. Confessing to nervousness and butterflies in his stomach before he fired his final round 72 for a winning 286 total Sunday, Jackie came up with a auick quip regarding his possibility of a grand slam this year. "I guess I'm the only one who has a chance to win it," he said. He hit that, like most of his Ice shots, right on the but ton inasmuch as a golfer must win the Masters, the U.S. Open, the PGA and the Brit ish Open to complete a grand slam. Palmar Finishes Ninth Arnold Palmer, who finish ed in a ninth place tie in the Masters Sunday, has been try ing for thai elusive slam scv' eral years now but never has made it. The majority of golf cx perts feel Nicklaus can, how ever. "If that 86 I shot in tile second round wasn't my best," he grinned, "it sure is pushing Ihc leaders." It followed h first round 74 and tied young Jack for sec ond place with Jay Herbert after 36 holes. Then, when virtually all the other leaders faltered in the heavy rain and mud of the third round, Nic klaus took a onc-slroke lead with a 74 and maintained it ARE YOU ABOUT TO BE SWALLOWED UP IN DEBT?

In addition to being the youngest player over to win the Masters, the Ohio shot maker also was the first reign ing Open king to lead home the field in this tournament. Possibly the two biggest Masters surprises were 29-ycar-old Tony Lenia of Oak land, Calif., who finished sec ond with 287 even though it was his first appearance in II, a nvnnl Mill I'.lfl y.HH !),:.( tied 51-year-old Sammy Sncad I for third place with Julius I Boros. "I kept looking at Tony be cause I knew lie was even with par all day," Nicklaus admitted, "and I could tell by the scoreboard Sam was doing all right, too " Naads Final Par When Lema, who finished with a two - under - par 70, birdicd the 18th, Nicklaus, coming up two twosomes be hind him, knew he would have to par the 18th, a par four 420-yarder, or face a playoff. I didn't try lo play con servative golf at any time," Nicklaus explained, "but nei ther was I about to get reck loss on the 18lh. "This was no time to flirt with the trees on the right so I aimed my Ice shot lo the left," he went on. "The ball landed in sand and mud and 1 got a free drop. "I dropped the ball in a muddy He, then went for my lx Iron. I sure wasn't going to bo short." He wasn't. The 205-pound Ohioan put all his muscle and might into that six iron shot and belted the ball onto the green about 30 feet past the flagstick. Ball Passes Cup Faced with a downhill putt. Jackie studied the green close ly. He then stroked it three feet past the cup. His second putt made it. Snead gave the final day gallery of 30,000 a thrill by blrdylng the 14th and 15lh holes to pose u serious threat to Nicklaus and even raise the possibility lie might be come the first tour-time win ner in Masters history instead ot ralmer. It wasn't in Ihc cards, though, as Sambo honeyed two of the last throe holes and finished with a 35-36-71 llial entitled him lo divide third place money with war horse Boros, who shot a 37-35-72. Palmer never really got off the ground although he gave It a good try with birdies on the first two holes. Ho carded respectable 34-37-71 for a 2D1 total thai was five strokes off the pace. Gary Player of SuiiLIi Afri ca, Dow Flnstorwald and Ed iCUrgol all lied at 280 while Bo Wlnlngec, the early sen sation of the tournament, had a 200.

SPORTS Al Dark Doesn't Seem Inclined To Break Up Winner (The following is ona of 20 dispatches on the 1963 prospects of major league baseball loams.) By SCOTT BAILLIE Phoenix, Ariz. -I1IP1I- Alvin Dark, manager of the Nation al league champion San Fran cisco Giants, expects that the flag will go up this season to the team that wins 08 or 90 games. So how many does he figure his Glams will win? That little trap doesn't work cither and the cautious Dark merely says, "We're the same club that won the pen nam last year.. We also arc well balanced and know each oilier very well. But I don'l know where we'll finish." However, he lists his Gi ants, Los Angeles, Cincinnati and St. Louis as the top con tenders. This is not his prob able order of finish. Virtually ihc same team thai battled the New York Yankees down to the seventh game of the World Series is on hand again and Dark doQSn't s c e in inclined to break up a winning combination'. All the regulars picked up raise, including first base man Orlando Ccpeda who bul lied a cut and then held out until he got a token boost ol about a thousand dollars. Or lando didn't sign until March 12 then checked in at a time when the rest of the squad had been working oul for 24 days. Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllll SAVE TIME! SAVE MONEY! CRATER LAKE MOTORS COUNT DOWN BRAKE SPECIAL m CAN YOU STOP INSTANTLY? If not, you need an expert brake job. Don't endanger lives! It costs to little lo have perfect brakes! nowl The same goes for pitcher Juan Marichal, who signed after Cepeda. Dark looks for a better season from Cepeda, whose impressive figures of a .306 balling average, 35 homers and 114 runs batted in mask the fact thai lie faded late in Ihc going. Cepeda skipped winter ball ihis lime and thinks this will benefit him. Willie Mays, who will col lect more than $100,000 this year, returns to center. He feels lhal he earned his boosi and who can argue after his clutch playing late In the sea son that carried the Giants into their successful playoff victory against Los Angeles? "I think I had a fine sea son," says Wilile, who batted .304, hit 49 homers to lead the majors and drove in 141 runs. Then he adds, "What's there to improve?"
