Arnold Palmer Wins Masters By One Stroke AUGUSTA, Ga. (UP)— Careful study, plus an argument that he won, and a putt that he hit “too hard” all added up today to a green coat for Arnold Palmers, symbolic of his victory in the 22nd Masters golf tournament. Palmer was also $11,250 richer with the winner’s share of the fattest Master’s purse in history. The sum pushed the 28-year-old Latrobe, Pa., professional —wellahead of the field in the moneywinning category. Palmer’s steady 73 in Sunday's final round of the tournament gave him a 72-hole card of 284, four strokes better than par, but barely one stroke ahead of defending champion Doug Ford of Mahopac, N.Y., and underrated Fred Hawkins of El Paso, Tex.

Ford and Hawkins each missed birdie putts on the 18th green that would have thrown the touma ment into an 18-hole playoff. Palmer explained his victory by saying he studied the course and the way the past Masters’ winners had played it. Watched for Chances “I noticed they took chances on certain holes and On others they didn’t," he said. “I played it the same way.” J He said his biggest gamble was on the monster, 475-yard 13th hole * with its par-five green guarded by 1 a deep ravine. He decided to try ■ for the green with a three wood 1 on his second shot rather than playing it short of the ditch and ’ safe. His superb shot was 20 feet ■ to the left of the pin, leaving him s a downhill putt. Instead of being content to roll 1 the ball close to the cup for a ■ sure birdie, Palmer decided again to go for broke. ! “I hit the putt a little too hard,” t he said, “but it went in” for an , eagle three : ; Actually, the prize Masters plum was both won and lost Sun- ' day on the treacherous 13th green. Ford was also on the green in two and had a much easier putt than Palmer had a few minutes earlier. However, Ford three-p ull e d from 11 feet and took a par instead of the eagle that would have won him the tournament or the birdie that would have put him and Palmer into a playoff. The three-putt miseries also plagued pre-tournament favorite Ken Venturi of San Francisco. It took him a total of 12 putts to get down on four holes, the 6th 14th, 15th and 16th. Despite his troubles on the greens, Venturi, who played with Palmer, posted ' an even par 72 and a four-day score of 286. Putted Out of Game “I thought I played well but I ■ putted my way right out of the title,” the slim, 27-year-old San ' Franciscan said. “After I threeputted three greens in a row, the only way I coulk have won was for the whole field to drop dead.” Asked about the controversial ruling which gave Palmer a par three instead of a double bogey five on the 12th hole, Venturi said “I knew he could lift the ball legally and I played every hole after that as if he had gotten a three” Palmer's tee shot on the short, 155-yard hole landed in the bank I between the far side of the green ■ and a sand trap. Heavy recent i rains had washed sand out of the trap onto the bank and Palmer’s ball was buried in the muck. Two U. S. Golf Association officials ordered Palmer to play the lie. He flubbed an attempt to dig the ball out and wound up with a five. However, he played the lie under protest ana dropped a provisional ball which he sank with a chip and a putt for par. Scoreboards on the course showed a five, but were changed to three after a rules committee decision. Palmer, meanwhile, was banging home his eagle on the very next hole. Joe Campbell Turns To Professional Golf CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (IF —Joe Campbell, Purdue's former intercollegiate golf champion, was scheduled to play his first round as a professional today in a proamateur tourney here Campbell, 24, a native of Anderson.

Dick Donovan I Stars As Sox Defeat Cards By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The bell rings in another week and some of the real “pros,” like Dick Donovan of the White Sox, already have indicated they’ll come out fighting. Donovan, a 16-game winner last year, had been taking his lumps lately and didn’t like it The Phil lies raked him for six runs in three innings on March 27 and he blew a six-run lead againstt he Yankees last week. “Worried?” someone asked Al Lopez. “Not yet,” replied the White Sox skipper. But Donovan Was concerned and said so “Darn right I’m worried,” he said, “ahd I'm going to do something about it in a hurry.” —Does Something He did Sunday with a fine sev-en-inning scoreless stint against the St. Louis Cardinals that paid off in a 4-1 victory at Houston, Tex. Just to add a little icing, Donovan slammed a homer and a single that accounted for two of Chicago’s runs. A pair of Red Sox pitchers, Frank Sullivan and Tom Brewer, also gave evidence they are ready for the start of the season by combing in a five-hit 3-0 triumph over the slumping Tigers. It was Boston’s 12th victory in the last 13 games and Detroit’s sixth straight loss. Roberto Clemente's grand slam homer in the eighth inning off Jack Urban powered the Pirates to a 5-2 win over the Athletics. Vern Law went the distance for Pittsburgh and gave up eight hits, including a homer by “slugger” Billy Hunter. Dave Philley, the Phillies’ fillin first baseman, unloaded a 12th inning home run over the right field wall that produced a 3-2 decision over the Yankees at Columbia, S.C. Philley struck his blow off Bob Grim, who relieved starter Tom Sturdivant in the ninth. Dodgers toast to Win The Los Angeles Dodgers teed off on World Series hero Lew Burdette for six runs in the first inning and then coasted to an 11-5 victory over the Milwaukee ißraves at Fort Worth, Tex. • The San Francisco Giants beat I the Cleveland Indians, 9-7, at San Antonio, Tex ; the Baltimore Orioles pounded out 15 hits to defeat the Chicago Cubs, 7-3; and Washington hit Brooks Lawrence and Hersh Freeman liberally in defeating Cincinnati, 8-3, at Nashville, Tenn.

Bobby Morrow ....<sk- \ Loses To Sime In Texas Race BIG SPRING, Tex. (UP) — Duke’s Dave Sime proved to Olympic sprint champion Bobby Morrow that you can’t waste even split seconds at the starting blocks and hope to catch the streaking Blue Devil within <IOO short yards. Sime gave Morrow a sound beating here last Saturday in what was billed as the sprint race of the century although the 9.6 seconds clocking was slow for two sprinters who have ripped off that distance in world record time of 9.3. Morrow was left at the post and had so much trouble fighting a vicious, sand-blasting 20-mile an hour crosswind that he not only failed to overhaul the flying redhead from Duke but also couldn’t catch up with his own teammate. Bill woodhouse, who finished second. It was a "comedown’.’ for Morrow, who hasn't been on speaking terms with second place but twice in his collegiate career prior to his loss here. Sime and Woodhouse seemed to roar oat of the blocks together and the slender, 155-pound Woodhouse kept pace inches behind Sime for better than two-thirds of the way, while Morrow strained to catch up. Sime, beaten by Woodhouse in a morning preliminary, pulled away slightly in the final few strides and was about half a yard ahead of the bespectacled Woodhouse at the tape with Morrow just inches further away. Morrow said the powerful winds bothered him, but Sime, said he had learned his lesson from the morning race when similar crosswinds had troubled him. .£ “I said to myself to carry my drivelonger and lower, ,r Sime said. “I kept driving for 40 or 50 yards besot-e straightening up, then when I did I had the momentum to keep it up” Boston Celtics Even Playoff With Hawks BOSTON — (W — Boston Celtics pivot man Bill Russell may be finished for the remainder of the playoff games, according to Dr. Edward R. Browne, the team’s physician. Russell was taken to Winthrop Hospital Sunday—night shortly after the Celts returned home from St. Louis. His ankle was heavily taped and he obviously could put little weight on it. ‘‘From the looks of his right ankle sprain,” observed Browne, “I would be surprised if he could play in a seventh game. It’s a very bad sprain.” Despite the loss of the big center, who virtually controlls the boards when he’s in action, the Boston club didn’t appear to be discouraged. “Losing Russell hurts a lot in rebounding,” admitted Bob Cousy. “But if everyone is around that board to help out, I think we can get our share of the rebounds. It will eliminate our usual fast break almost entirely, but we took good shots the other night and we can do the same thing again," he said. The Celtics 'evened the National Basketball Association's championship playoff series at twq games apiece Saturday night with a 10998 victory over the Hawks. The next game will be played here Wednesday with the sixth in St. Louis and the seventh back in Boston, if it is needed. May Stay In Cincinnati NEW YORK W — The signs pointed toward keeping the Cincinnati Royals’ franchise in Cincinnati today, with the decision due at a meeting of the Board of Governors of the National Basketball Association tonight. Although Norman Shapiro of Rochester, N. Y., has reached tentative agreement with Royals’ owners on a sale including a shift to that city, sentiment among lea gue officials seamed to fee favoring staying in Cincinnati. Tonight’s meeting, with each of the league’s eight clubs represented as well as league President Maurice Podoloff, will receive Shapiro’s bid for the team and may also receive two other bids—from Cincinnati and Cleveland groups.

25th Anniversary Os Prohibition End 3.2 Beer Legal On April 7 of 1933 CHICAGO (UP) — The 13th - Amendment, variously called a ? noble experiment in prohibition and the unkindest cut against the , thirst of the American people, began to sink in a tide of beer just 25 years ago today. When April 7, 1933, was just a minute old. beer containing 3.2 per cent of alcohol by volume became legal after a 13 - year drought. Congress had approved the 3.2 brew as non-intoxicating, and the deluge that finally drowned the dry amendment began to rise. Eight months later, tne amendment was repealed and the speakeasies threw open their doors. But the controversy remainedThe continuing questions about liquor showed in the reaction of the Women’s Christian Temperi ance Union to the 25th anniversary of beer’s return to respecta- ; bility. "I wish we were celebrating the 38th anniversary of the 18th Amendment instead,” said Mrs. . H. F. Powell, national treasurer ' of the WTCU. [ The quarter century since repeal, Mrs. Powell said, has shown that the claims advanced for repeal’ were wrong. It has produced more problems than prohibition, ' she said. Repeal only increased the gangsterism blamed on the dry era and substituted “something far . worse”—the cocktail lounge—for the old-time saloon, she said. Her words apparently were lost on the cocktail lounges of 1958. They went about their normal Monday business, unmindful both of the event that heralded them in 1933 and the WCTU Their calm routine was a contrast to the activivities of the first day of legal beer. , The end of the long drought found many persons doing just what they had been doing for 13 years—with homemade stuff from the basement or heady brew from undercover breweries. Tiiey simply switched to the law’s side. They put away the yeast, and their favorite speakeasies turned into taverns. For others, the first wet day brought a vague sense of loss — not only in the relative weakness of the 3.2 product. They missed the lure of the forbidden, the breathless moment of inspection by the speakeasy doorman. They knew the '2os, already killed by the big depression, were buried at last. French-Tunisian Talk At Stalemate PARIS (W — Anglo - American efforts to settle the French-Tuni-sian dispute reached virtual stalemate today. American “good offices” negotiator Robert D. Murphy continued to issue optimistic statements, but his British colleague, Harold Beeley hinted their mission had come to at least "temporary” failure.
