EXCLAMATION POINT Washington, Cincinnati Take Lid Off Season By FRED DOWN I'I'I Spurts Writer Major league baseball's 1963 clock tournament of 1.620 games during which 18 teams will try to prove that the New York Yan kees and the Los Angeles Dodg ers are not the best teams in baseball. The exports and the odds-makers predict the 18 teams will fail to prove their point. President Kennedy will be pre siding at his third presidential opener when he tosses out the first ball before the American league opener between the Balti more Orioles and Washington Senators. A crowd of more than 42.000 is expected at the 1:30 p.m., EST game time and the forecast is for sunny and warm weather. Governors James A. Rhodes of Ohio and Bert T. Combs of Ken tucky head the list of guests at Crosley Field. Cincinnati, where the Reds start the National League season against the Pitts burgh Pirates. The ceremonial first ball will be thrown out by Susan Schroeder, 8, Cincinnati's Easter Seal child. A forecast of possible showers was made for Cincinnati but en thusiasm in the birthplace of or ganized professional baseball was at its usual high peak. The wine, whisky and beer flow heavily on opening day in the major leagues' smallest city. Alter President Kennedy's cere monial pitch, the Senators will send Don Rudolph against the Orioles' Steve Barber. Rudolph 18-10 in 1962) is one of the fast est working pitchers in the game and Barber (9-61 is one of the hardest throwing hurlers so the President may see a spirited, brisk game. The Orioles finished the 12 season in a seventh-place tie but believe several key trades have built them into pennant contend ers. Their most important addi tion is shortstop Luis Aparicio from the Chicago White Sox. The Senators will introduce a promising rookie in first-baseman Tom Brown, former Maryland football star, who led the team in batting this spring. Jim O Toole, a 16-game w inner in 1962, will handle the pitching chores for the Reds, who also are introducing rookies Pete Rose at second base and Tommy Harper in center field. Hard-hitting Gene Freese, sidelined most of the 1962 season with a broken leg, will be at third base. The Yankees are 1-3 favorites to win their fourth straight Amer ican League pennant and their third in a row under Manager Ralph Houk. In the National League, a three-cornered battle among th Reds, Dodgers and defending champion San Francis co Giants is expected. pennant races begin today with President Kennedy lending the dignity of his office to the event in Washington, D C, and a tradi tional air of carnival-like outdoor fun marking the proceedings in Cincinnati.

Belting Jack Nicklaus Heads For 'Grand Slam' Of Golfdom AUGUSTA. Ga. (UPD There's no rest for the weary, so it'll be more golf today for Masters champion Jackie Nicklaus, who has chased all those "butterflies" in his belly but now has a "grand slam" on his mind. Still weary from his spectacu lar $20,000 one-stroke victory over Ihe muddy Augusta National Course, the blond, heavy-set 23-year-old Nicklaus will keep a date to play in a pro-amateur tourna-1 ment at nearby Atlanta today. Confessing to nervousness and butterflies in his stomach before he fired his final round 72 for a winning 2R6 total Sunday. Jackie came up with a quick quip re garding his possibility of agrand 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 tec shots, right on the button in-' asmuch as a golfer must win the Masters, the U.S. Open, the PGA and tlie British Open to complete a grand slam. Arnold Palmer, who finished in A ninth place tie in the Masters Sunday, has been trying for tlat elusive slam several years now but never has made it The majority of golf experts feel Nicklaus can. however "If that KS I shot in the sccond'twosomcs behind him, knew he fourth period.) Gallatin c curred: "Baylor beat us." Bob Pettit and Cliff Hagan of the Hawks had their poorest nights in a long time; Pettit, with Baylor guarding him much of the time, only made two baskets in It attempts. Pettit finished wtih 15 points because of II points col lected on the free throw line. Hagan, playing with a dislocated thumb which was taped, missed on all nine shots from the floor. In the Royals-Celtics game Robertson's biggest ouburst came in the last 6' 2 minutes of the third period. He fired 11 straight points and scored 16 of Cincinna ti's last 18 points to push the Royals to a lead that was 85-76 after three periods. Robertson sparked another Roy al outburst in the opening min utes of the fourth quarter and the Royals led 97-81 with eight min utes left. Robertson was backed in scoring by Jack Twyman who had 24. Boston's top scorers were Sam Jones with 22 points and Tom Heinsohn with 20. Celtic Coach Red Auerbach complained after the game that "the officials took the game away from us." "I've had it," Auerbach said, "f Referees 1 Sid Borgia and Norm Drucker aren't kidding me. If that game had gotten rougher they'd have had to put up a box ing ring and let the players slug it out. It would be the highlight of Borgia's career if he reffed a game in which we lost the world championship, Auerbach said round wasn't my best," he grinned, "it sure is pushing the leaders." It followed a first round 74 and tied young Jack for second place with Jay Hebcrt after 36 holes. Then, when virtually all the other' leaders faltered in the heavy rain and mud of the third round, Nicklaus took a one-stroke lead with a "4 and maintained it throughout the pressure-packed linal round. In addition to being the young est player ever to win the Mas ters, the Ohio shntmaker also was the first reigning Open king to lead home the field in this tour nament. Possibly the two biggest Mas ters surprises were 29-year-old Tony I-ema of Oakland. Calif. who finished second with 287 even thouch it was his first ap licarance in the event, and the 288 that tied 51-year-old Sammy Snead for third place with Julius Borns, "I kept looking at tony because I knew he was even with par all day." Nicklaus admitted, "and I could tell by Ihe scoreboard Sam wa doing all right, too." When Lema, who finished with a two-under par 70. birdied the 18th, Nicklaus, coming up two AUGUSTA, Ga. H'PIi-Tlie New York 1 ankees and . . . er . . . er . . . er the San Francisco Giants. That s how this sports writer predicted the major league base ball pennant finishes last year and they both came through. There's little question about picking the Yankees again: they appear so superior to any of the other clubs in the American League. But picking in the Na tional League is vastly different. Three clubs look strong. There are lour others who could do it without surprising anyone too much. Here's the predicted finish: American League New York Yankees Baltimore Orioles Detroit Tigers Chicago White Sox Cleveland Indians Boston Red Sox Minnesota Twins Kansas City Athletics Los Angeles Angels Washington Senators National League San Francisco Giants Cincinnati Reds Los Angeles Dodgers St. Louis Cardinals Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Milwaukee Braves Chicago Cubs New York Mets Houston Colls Rhyme or reason for these choices? Not too much except spending seven weeks in Florida watching the clubs training down there hearing scouts and others report on the clubs training in Arizona and Florida. Rival managers such as Sam Mele of the Twins, Al Lopez of the While Sox, Billy Hitchcock of1 the Orioles and Bob Scheffing of the Tigers insist the Yankees can be beaten. Angels Buy Bob Turley LOS ANGELES (UP!) The Los Angeles Angels made decisions on two veteran hurlers who were trying to make the club this spring by purchasing Bob Tur ley's contract from the New York Yankees and letting Sam Jones go- Turley, 32, had a 3-3 record with the Yankees last season after more successful seasons with New York, such as 1958 when he won 21 games. Turley came to the Angels this spring on a condition al basis and impressed Manager Bill Rigney. Jones, who played under Rigney when he was managing the Gi ants, came to the Angel camp as a free agent but saw little work in exhibition games. ANGELS CLICK LOS ANGELES (UPD - The Los Angeles Angels had the best American League road record last year with a 4S-35 mark. would have to par the 18th, a par four 420-yardcr, or face a playoff. "I didnt try to play conserva tive golf al any lime." Nicklaus explained, "but neither was 1 about to get reckless on Ihe 18th. "This was no lime lo flirt with the trees on the right so I aimed my tee shot to the left," he went on. "The hall landed in sand and mud and I got a free drop. "I dropped the ball in a muddy lie, then went for my six iron. I sure wasn't going to be 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 alxnit 30 feet past the flagstick. Faced with a downhill putt, Jackie studied the green closely. He then stroked it three foet past the cup. His second putt made it "I was kind of surprised when my first putt didn't go in," NicK laus said. "And I was even more surprised when my second one did " People Read SPOT ADS you ere new. though, when he said "They were ready to be taken last year, but no one did." Ihe Dodgers, as usual since 1959, are favored in the National League and it does really look like they should win. But it's looked that way for the past three years and they didn't do it. The Giants have problems, like every other club, but reports are that Manager Al Dark thinks he will solve them all. It's a ques tion whether he will get another good year out of pitchers Billy Pierce and Don Larsen, but he has a solid starting nine and a strong bench. The Reds would appear to have the best pitching in the league and have power. The Phillies rate as the darkhorse with a fine out field but could come up short in front and middle line pitching. It wouldn t surprise if the Car dinals, Pirates or Braves won it all. But going back to last spring at this time the Yankees and Giants were good enough then. I hey look good enough again.
