Time Out
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bobby Anderson, a towering 23-year-old
right-hander who was
something less than sensational
last year, has developed into the
key man in the Chicago Cubs'
pitching staff so much so that
Manager Bob Scheffing today de
cided to give him the opening day
starting assignment.
At such an age, the supposition
' would be that Anderson is pretty
much of a novice in the pitching
trade.
Guess again.
He has toiled for no fewer than
five minor league clubs and now
is going into his fourth hitch with
the Cubs.
Anderson, all 6-4 of him, spent
most of last season with Fort
Worth in the Texas League where
he compiled a 17-9 record. He
hung on with the Cubs for a while
and posted a 3-3 mark and a 3.95
ERA.
But Sunday, he capped a fine
exhibition campaign, holding the
Boston Red Sox to three singles
during a seven-inning stint in Fort
Worth. The Cubs won the ball
game, 5-0, and Anderson got Fri
day's starting assignment against
Los Aneeles.
Durine the spring, Anderson
pitched 38 innings and allowed 12
earned runs.
Three top veterans oiled their
rms for their opening day ap
pearances. Warren Soahn shut out the De
troit Tieers. 5-0. on six hits for
Hie Milwaukee Braves in Braden-
town: Billy Pierce whitewashed
the Washineton Senators. 3-0, for
the Chicazo White Sox in Charles
ton, S.C., and Bob Friend, ace ot
the Pittsburgh Pirates' staff, cut
down the Philadelphia Phillies,
5-1. in Fort Myers, Fla.
Elsewhere, the San Francisco
Giants edged the Cleveland In
dians, 7-6. in Denver; the Los An
geles Dodgers downed the Kan
sas City A's. 3-1, in West Palm
Beach; the Cincinnati Reds out
. lasted Hie New York Yankees in
' 10 innings, 7-6, in Tampa, and the
Baltimore Orioles turned lack the
St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4, in Miami.
If his Braves' teammates 'are
, nvprmnfident. Snahn certainly
not. It marked the veteran left
hander's second shutout in three
starts. The Tigers collected six
hits and just two of them got as
tar as third hasc.
For Pierce, the triumph was his
first nina innina ;ob of tie spring
But in this case the silver lining
had a dark cloud. The fcox col
lected just six singles. They've
been having trouble all spring get
ting anything more than a single.
Friend outpitched another vet
eran, Robin Roberts. The Pirate
riohtv cave ud only six hits. Rob
erts was touched for 13, including
homers by BiU Virdon and Dick
Stuart.
Home runs were the big factor

Hnrinprs and Reds.
Jackie Brandt lrned a three-run
Job in the eighth to earn the
r.iinti their come-from-behind
struggle over the Tribe. Charlie
Neal sent the Dodgers ahead with
a homer in the third, and John
Powers came up as a pinch hitter
for Cincinnati in the tenth with
Pete Whisenant on base and blast

over the right field wall and the

Winner
Aided
By Caddy
Editor's Note: Art Wall Jr.
staged one of the ' greatest golf
ing finishes in history to win the
Masters championship. He tells
how he did it in the following dispatch.
By ART WALL JR.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI)-My hat's
off to my caddy he helped make
me a winner.
His name is Henry Hammond
and what he doesn't know about
the Augusta National Golf Course
isn't worth learning. To my mind,
the 14th and 15th were the key
holes and he set me straight on
the 15th.
I thought at- first I'd use
four-wood for my second shot but
he suggested a two-iron instead.
I followed his advice and chose
the iron. My shot landed about 25
feet from the hole.
Frankly, I wasn't aware that I

"A fine example you set for your
children! Using all those dirty
tactics when they're watching
you wrestle on TV!"
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) An un
orthodox baseball grip and a
glass-shafted mallet pullet are the
trademarks of the new Masters
golf champion quiet, modest
Art Wall, Jr., of Pocono Manor,
Pa.
"When I first started playing 1
never knew there was another
wav to hold the club." Wall said
today of his Mickey Mantle style
of whacking a ball. The putter is
a recent addition to his bag re
placing an old wooden-shafted
blade he had carried for 10 years
The putter with three dots or
had live birdies in tne last six
holes until they told me about it
later.
I didn't even realize I had a
chance to win until Julius Boros
my playing partner, told me I
could take it all as we approached
the 17th tec. I had no idea where
I stood. When I heard a loud roar
on the 15th hole I figured Cary
Middlecoff must have come up
with an eagle three. I thought be
might have a chance at it.
When we came up to the 18th,
all I was trying to do was get a
par. I hit my best drive of the
day, then took a nine-iron and hit
it about 12 feet Irom the flag. I
looked that putt over a long time.
It seemed to me it could go either
way. So I played straightaway
and darned if the ball didn't go in.
Funny thing about the final
round is that I had set a goal of
70 for myself. I thought that
would give me a 2A8 and put me
in about third place.
I told someone that a 66 might
give someone a scare but l never
figured I was going to get it. Lo
and behold, though, it happened
People ask me how come I've
started winning all of a sudden.
I'd have to credit three fellow
pros Mike Fetchik, Joy Hcbert
and Doug Ford. Fetchik helped
me with my turn on the drive;
Hcbert showed me how 1 could do
better in a certain position at ad
dress: and Ford has proven an
education by some of the things
he has told me about golf.

BOSTON (AP) Point-a-minute
Frank Ramsey is the inspired
Boston substitute who once almost
was traded lo Minneapolis. The
Lakers would willingly buy Ram

hair today.
As the Celtics "sixth man."
Ramsey is the main reason Boston
leads Minneapolis 2-0 in the Na

pionship playoffs.
Action resumes Tuesday night at
St. Paul and at Minneapolis Thurs

seven game Syracuse series. Ram
