Jackie Burke Is Winner Os Masters Open AUGUSTA, Ga.|(INS) — Jackie Purke, Jr., wrapped up 18 years of ambition today in the sparkling < grass-green coat of the exclusive Masters champion clan, still looking for new fields to conquer. "Now, 1 feel like I really belong." the boyish-looking, smiling Irishman said. That not only summed up his surprise victory in the 20th Masters Tournament Sunday, but neatly packaged a wealth of golfing ambitions handed down from father to' son. Burke, playing the same uncomplicated. steady golf be has-always fashioned, stole the Jewell from one of the links world's most cpveted crowns Sunday. He did it while defending champion Cary Middlecoff and youthful amateur challenger Ken Venturi pressured each other out of the treasury-room. Burke, a native of Fort Worth, now playing out of Kiamesha I-Ake, N.Y., was anything but a sensation, with a four-day card of 72-71-75-71— 289. But it was good for a one-stroke margin over Ven- ’ turf and two over Middlecoff. It was the first Masters crown for Burke in seven tries. 1n'1952, he got as close as second. It was his first tournament victory since 1953. w hen he took the Inverness, at Toledo, O. Both Hoosier entrants fired better closing rounds than Venturi. Joe Campbell, the NCAA champ from Purdue, shot a 79 to finish with a four-round total of 314. Dale. Morey hit 78 to give him four rounds totaling 319.

12th Exhibition Win By Athletics By International News Service Everything's up to date in Kansas City but the Athletics and Lou Boudreau thinks they've gone about as far as they can go. But the way his ancient outfielders have been hitting and his front line pitchers throwing lately, you'd think the transplanted Philadelphians Intend leaving sixth place behind. Lou's big gripe has been his aged outfield. His first-string flychasers — Elmer Vaio, 35; Enos Slaughter, 40, and Gun Zernial. 33 ’ —total 108 years in age. Indeed, there has been talk lately of trading Zernial off to Detroit ' for Ned Garver and Jim Delsing and finding suitable new homes for the others as well. But more than likely, the Ath- ' letica will stand pat with their regular lineup come opening day next week. For only three Ameri- ’ can League teams —the Yankees. Indians and White Sox—have per--1 formed better than Boudreau’s vet ' erans in spring training. The A’s notched their 12th exhibitkm Sunday by hanging the first shutout on Pittsburgh’s National League tailenders. The Pirates bowed, 4 to 0, at San Antonio as Alex Kellner gave up only three singles in seven innings and Arnold Portocarrero finished up with hitless hurling. Zernial hit his third spring homerun, off Ron. Kline, and another old pro. Harry (Suitcase) Simpson, doubled home a pair of runs in the fifth inning. At New Orleans, the Yankees topped Philadelphia, 4 to 2. on ths combined pitching efforts of Bob Turley, Tom Morgan and Jim Konstanty. After five straight floggings, bullet Bob bore down to pitch seven scoreless innings but tired in the eighth. Big blow against He rm Wehmeler was Bill Skowron’s homerun. Cleveland took it on the chin from the New York Giants, 10 to 3, at Dallas with Bob Lemon losing to Ruben Gomes. Ray Katt, who hit a three-run homer in the fourth, was felled in the seventh by an Art Houtteman pitch. X-rays showed no fracture but he remained at Baylor university hospital overnight for observation. Willie Mays and rookie catcher Jim Mangan also homered forW Gftmtg.-- ——— Two-run homers by Larry Doby and Walt Dropo tn the fourth inning went for nought as the Chicago White Sox lost to St Louis, 9 to 6, at Memphis. Ray. Jablonski’s homer sparked a three-run rally in the sixth to give Cincinnati a 9-to-6 win over WaAMn-ston at Charlotte. Pete Runnels, Roy Sievers and Harmon Killebrew all hit first-inning homers off Cincinnati’s Joe Black. Four-baggers by Dave Phllley, » Bob Nelson and Tito Francona paced Baltimore’s 9-to-6 conquest I of Chicago at Corpus Christi. Walt I Moryn and Ernie Banks homered for the Cubs. Brooklyn routed Milwaukee, .12 ' to 2. at Nashville with a 17-hit barrage that included a Gil Hodges homerun. Del Rice hit one for Milwaukee. Boston beat Birmingham. 6 to 3, and Detroit spilled Houston, 6 to 1, in a couple of major-minor games. ISRAEL RUSHES Pat* HMI amounted to an open letter to "UN secretary general Dag Hammarskjcld, who is enroute to the Middle East on a peace mission, bluntly «ald: “We utterly refuse to con elude peace with Israel." IKEEXPRESSES rCnnttnned From Page One) t senate-house conference committee is "not acceptable." The administration objects, in particular to the provision restoring high rigid price supports on basic crops for 1956. _ Sen. Allen J. Bllender (D-La.) chairman of the conference group, however, predicted that the measure would pass congress and that the President will sign It because “he want a farm bill.” Bllender added: "If the President vetoes it. there will be no ■ farm bill this year.” 1 The Louisiana senator, inter--1 viewed on CBS-TVs “Face the Nation," also said he hopes Ben son resigns as agriculture secretary, "because he has never been In sympathy with price supports."

Red legs And Tigers Likely Fifth Placers By HOWARD SIGMANO (I.N.S. Sports Writer) The Cincinnati Redlegs Positive power and negative pitching have failed to produce for the Cincinnati Redlegs in the past. The Redlegs aim to balance their tremendous power with enough adequate pitching to lift them into the first division this season. If Birdie Tebbetta got some top drawer hurling to go with the big fat feats of his clubbers, the Redlegs would be right in the thick of the National League's pennant fight. The Redlegs, defensively sound, still have to overcome a weak bench In their battle to get out of second division. Here's the Cincy lineup: Catching—Smoky Burgess is a power bitter. Matt Batts and Ed Bailey are the reserves. Pitching—Joe Nuxhall is the ace. Tebbetts hopes John Klippstein, Art Fowler, Brooks Lawrence, Joe Black, Hal Jeffcoat and Hersbell Freeman produce on the mound. Infield—Good. Ted Klusxewski on first, Johnny Temple on second, Roy McMillan on short and Ray Jabloneki on third. Jablonski, never a good fielder, appears to have regained his batting eye. Outfield —Two-thirds solid with Gus Bell, Wally Post and a scramble going on for left field berth &mg>ng rookie Frank Robinson, Charley Haripon, Stan Palys and Bob Thurman. Consensus: Fifth place, maybe fourth. The Detroit Tigers There are very many nice things about the Detroit Tigers. However, there aren't enough to produce a pennant. * *.■'■ - 1 .- ■ The Bengals have what it takes to mix it with the American League contenders, but they lack the overall qualities to go all the way. There is plenty of pitching, infield and outfield talent to guarantee that the Tigers will wage a rugged fight for first division status. Here's the lineup: Pitching — Billy Hoeft, Frank Lary, Steve Gromek, Bob Miller. Virgil Trucks and New Garver head a staff with potential. Infield—Except for weak-hitting Fted Hatfield at second, the infield la godd with Ray Boone at third, Harvey Kuenn at short and Earl Torgeson at first. Torgy's hitting could use improvement, too. Rookie Buddy Hicks may solve the second base problem. Outfield-Batting champ Al Kaline (right) and Bill Tuttle (center) are topnotch. Left field is a question with Jim Delsing and Charley Maxwell among the candidates. •. >• ', . /.<■, Consensus: Fifth or fourth. Injuries Are Fatal To Eighth Os Family NORMAL, 111. (INS) —The eighth member of a Mexican family has died in a Normal hospital as the result of injuries suffered when the truck that was transporting her family from McAllen, Tex., to Princeton, crashed into a tractor. The child, Irma Mendosa, who survived he crash last Friday on Route 51‘north of Normal, died Sunday night in Krokaw hospital. KEFAUYER (Continued From Page One) Mr. Stevenson wherever it can be conveniently arranged.” Stevenson also attacked Kefauver’a record of absenteeism in the senate as the "second worst" in the 83rd congress. He said: “The fact of the matter is that luring the 83rd, the congressional quarterly discloses that Senator Kefauver voted only 59 per cent of the time, whereas, the average for all senators was 84 "per cent.” With the Illinois primary coming ip Tuesday, Stevenson Intensified his campaign. He will conclude his Illinois primary campaign tonightwtth a television address.

Attacks Star Named As Mr. Basketball INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Oscar Robertson officially has been proclaimed Mr. Basketball of Hoosier prep seniors who will play KenU»«)ty prep-stars In two charity Atftnes thte4pne. =*t. The HurprtSing thing-isn’t that the fantastic one-man gang of two--11 in e erUpus Attacks’ state champs was chosen for the top honor but that this selection wasn't quite unanimous. Certainly no bne more- nearly deserved the unanimous vote. Oscar rewrote the city, county and state record books during his last two years on the state champion-1 ship squad. The 6-4, 187-pounder shot 39 points through the nets in the title game last month for a record and that put his four-game final total to M)7 points which topped by 10 the previous record held by the 1955 Mr. Basketball, Wilson Elson of Gary Roosevelt. Oscar also proved himself an excellent feeder, a near perfect bail-handler, an outstanding jumper and a faultless floor general in addition to being a perfect sport. Oscar also holds the city’s career record of 1,780 points and the single game record with 62 —both eclipsing the former records held by another Mr. Basketball, Hallie Bryant, 1958, ot Attacks. , Oscar is the sixth Tiger to make the Indiana All-Star team and the fifth coached by Ray Crowe during his six-year reign. Howard Mitchell played on the first All-Star team in 1939. Bob Jewell made It in 1951; Bryant; 1953; Bill Mason, 1954; Willie Mer-

riweather, 1955, and Oscar. The two prep all star teams will meet in Butler Fieldhouse, June 23. and play the return game In the Louisville Armory, June 25.
