Leading
Classic
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. I PH
Jack Nicklaus, ailing National
Open champion, is in tile perfect
position to win his first golf tour
nament of the young 1963 cam
paign.
He not only leads the Palm
Springs golf classic going into the
third round today, but he's sick
"And sickness means success in
golf.
The worse Byron Nelson. Ben
Hogan and others felt, the better
they played golf and Nicklaus
seems to fall into the same category.
He has a 36-hole score of 135
despite the fact that he is sudor
tag from bursitis in his hip.
"And if I win this tournament,"
he says, "it will be ridiculous. I
just don't feel that good."
Burly Jack leads by one stroke
after firing a six-under-par 6fi at
the Tamarisk golf course. That
gave him a one-stroke lead over
another member of the "big
five," Gary Player, and an un
heralded youngster named Bob
Shave, who have scores of 136.
While other members of the bi;
five fell slightly off the pace
Arnold Palmer and Gene Littler
each had 143), Nicklaus created
a masterpiece on the tough Tam
arisk course Thursday with his
six-under-par effort.
He was out in &, but came
roaring back in 31. He had seven
birdies against one bogey. He
knocked in a pair of 20-foot putts
and several from 10 feet or bet
ter. Even with his excellent shot-
making Nicklaus isn c running
away from anybody. Player has
been brilliant with his approach-
John Barnum
Takes Lead
In Seniors
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. IUPH
Big John Barnum. the six-fool,
five-inch giant from Grand Rap
ids who is known as a hot first
round man, stalked out today in
an attempt to preserve a one-shot
lead in the PGA Seniors golf
championship.
The 51 -year-old Bamum, who
led the first round of the regular
PGA championship at Philadel
phia last year with a 66 before
"the roof fell in," matched that
at the 7.010-yard, par 72 Port St.
Lucie Country Club Thursday
with a 34-3266 by firing birdies
on the final three holes.
Conditions were perfect on a
ann, sunny, windless day but
while Barnum finished the first
round one shot ahead of a 67 by
Herman Barron of Palm Beach
and two ahead of another three

well as a trip to Scotland to meet

It was a gloomy day, too. for

drop he might run from the field.
"I'm playing better than I'm
scoring," said the PGA cham
pion. Shave, a 26-year-old pro from
Willoughby. Oliio, who hasn't won
a nickel this year, had fine nines
of 32-37 for his 69 Thursday.
Next in line came Johnny Pott,
Tommy Aaron and first-day co
leader Harold Kneece, each with

Sam Snead was well off the
pace with a pair of 72s for 144.
Gray Little Out
To Prove Point
By OSCAR FRAI.EY
I PI Sports Writer
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (UPH
(iray Little, a reformed sports-
writer with a passion for oil
painting and a beat up putter
he found on a shelf in his shop.
set out today to prove that you
don't have to be a "name" to be
a good pro golfer.
Little has been a golf pro 24
years at the Lake Charles, La.,
Golf and Country Club. Until now
his chief claim to fairway fame
was that he taught Alvin Dark,
manager of the San Francisco
Giants' National League champs,
how to hit a golf ball.
But the lean, red-haired Little
showed his fellow pros, too, Thurs
day in the first round of the PGA
Seniors golf championship when
he fired a four under par 68 that
left him just two strokes behind
leading John Barnum of Grand
Rapids.
"He just couldn't wail to turn
50 so he could play in this tourna
ment." smiled his pert little wife,
Nadine.
"Well." said the grinning Gray,
It'll show our boys something."
Needled Father on Score
They have two sons, 15 and 11
years old. and when pappy shot
an 86 in a recent tournament the
lads gave it to him good.
An all-around athleie h his na
tive Beaumont. Tex., Gray was
bitten by the golf bug when he
started to caddy and gradually the
other sports interests fell by the
wayside. Nor is it quite fair to
class him as an "unknown." be
cause Little has captured the
Louisiana proiessional crown
three times and also won the
Lake Charles Open.
Gray turned 50 last October
and qualified, at last, for Hie
PGA Seniors in which he is mak
ing his first start.
Most people hate to get 40 and
then feel like it's all over for them
when they turn 45," interjected
Mrs. Little. "But you never in all
your lite ever saw anybody
happy that he was linally 50
years old."
Wife Retires From Job
Mrs. Little has helped Gray in
his golf shop. But on his Christ
mas tree the last time Santa teed
off was a formal announcement
to him. She retired.
"All I do from now on." she
advised him, "is write out the
checks."
Little served in Europe dur
ing World War II with the Scv
enth Army and is proud of the
fact that he finished fifth to win
ner Lloyd Mangrum, the former
U.S. Open champion, in the ETO
championship at St. Cloud, out
side Paris. A basebal fan who
thinks nothing of driving all the
way to Houston to see the Colts
perform, in the past two years he
has turned to oil painting as a
hobby.
'Sorry I didn't try it sooner,"
he said. "I think I'm pretty good."
He's "pretty good" with that
old putter, too. Like in the first
round, when he knocked in five
birdie putts up to 25 feet. It
painted for him a riht pretty
picture in a tournament where
some of the old "name" pros
were chopping it up pretty good.
Ramirez Tods
Ed Andrews
RENO. Nev. H'PIi Frankie
Ramirez of Los Angeles scored a
unanimous lo-round decision
Thursday night over a rusty Ed
die Andrews in a blood-spattered
middleweight bout.
It was Andrews' second fight
since he returned to the ring after
a year layoff and the once high
ranked contender still seemed
rusty.
Ramirez was much faster than
his harder-hitting foe. He stayed
outside and landed jabs at will.
The cards read 49-45, 50-41, and
.50-44 for Ramirez, who weighed
I.V). Andrews, now fighting out of
Reno, weighed 154.
There were no knockdowns, but
Andrews was badly cut during
the tight and Ramirez also re
ceipted for a cut above the eye
so that blood flowed freely in tlic
later rounds.
