Sian Leonard Tops Field In Masters Open » AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPD-Canadl-j an Stan Leonard, who will only I own up to 44 years but probably , is closer to 50, led the field into the second round of the Masters . golf tournament today—the first foreign player ever to do so. His three-under-par 69 Thursday over the rain-soaked, windswept 1 Augusta National Golf Club course ‘iwas two strokes better than any- ’ one else as the 68 professionals t and 19 amateurs generally found the elements too tough ior them. . Only three players outside of Leonard, a six-time Canadian i PGA champion who has been a playing pro for 22 years, broke par. They were defending champion Arnold Palmer, Jackie Burke and the veteran Chandler Harper, all t of whom came in with one-under-par 71's. There were only five players at par — demonstrating how tough the course played Thursday except for Leonard. Leonard Ignores Wind The smiling Canadian played the wind as though he owned it. He took only 30 putts and had six one-putt greens, as he carded three birdies and 15 pars. It was the second best round he ever has t played in the six Masters in which he has competed. He had a 68 in 1957 when he finished 12th. At even par were Jay Hebert, (Gene Littler, U.S. Open champion -Tommy Bolt and two other fori eign threats—Peter Thomson of Australia and Angel Miguel, the Spaniard who won the individual championship in the Canada Cup matches last year. 1 The pre-tounrament betting faIvorite, three-time Masters cham'pion Sam Snead, tied with 13 oth»er players at 74. Snead couldn’t . ; control his approaches because of , the winds, which were as high as 30 miles an hour. t “That wind was enough to drive you crazy,” he said. “I just couldn’t figure my approaches, although I was driving well and putting aU right.” Back Nine Treacherous , In the 74 bracket with Snead . was Cary Middlecoff, who like so . many in the first round camb to , grief on the back nine. Three holes, the Uth, 12th and 13th. all water holes, gave most of them trouble. ' Among those who came to grief 1 oh that treacherous back nine was ; the 48-year-old Jimmy Demaret, par, and then soared to a 44 when he went into the . water on three consecutive holes, starting with the Uth. That gave him a 78. "Man, that water killed me,” said Demaret, who like Snead has won this tourney three times. Ben Hogan, Art Wall, Mike Souchak and Gary Player, tile lit,tle South African, were in the 73 (bracket, which included a total of nine players. Among them were the first round amateur leaders— Chuck Kocsis and Bill Hyndman. J U.S. amateur champion Charley Coe was in the 74 group. Ken Venturi, second choice to Snead in the official odds, was one of 12 players who carded 75’s. i Also in the group were Julius Boros, Billy Joe Patton and Porky Oliver. PGA champion Dow Finsterwald had a big 79, taking 42 on the back nine. Beal Reelected As Little League Head ! - L. E. Beal was reelected presi- •! dent of the Decatur Little League at a meeting of league officials, ; managers and coaches Wednesday night at the city hall. Other officers, also reelected, are Glen Custer, first vice president; Al Beavers, second vice president; Ed Kauffman, third vice president; James Strickler, Jr., secretary, and Norman Steury, treasurer. Appointments made by the officers include Bob Worthman and Ray Lehman, player agents; Pete i Reynolds, publicity director, and > David Macklin, legal counsel. Vari ious matters concerning the 1959 • season were discussed, with action to be completed at another meeting within the next two weeks. DALE DEATH Continued from page one was set aside by Judge Myles Parrish; Eldon Nern, who served Death with his dismissal notice, testified to that fact. James Borders and Raymond Seitz of the city police force added their testimony of participation in the previous Case, while Mrs. Edith Cole testified that she took the shorthand notes at the board of works trial. Robert Hill, of the .police pension fund, stated that Death was a member of that organization.

[Today's Sport Parade \ (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPl)—Billy Loes, a pitcher who doesn’t want to win too many games because it might set a precedent of expectancy, is comfortably installed today where he doesn’t have to worry about such a calamity. Loes, a young man of infinite and sometimes incomprehensible ideas, has been swapped from the Baltimore Orioles to the Washington Senators. It’s simply a matter of giving your business to a new pawn shop. Nobody expects Washington to win much of anything and this is right up Billy’s ’alley. When he went to the Orioles three years back, that was their situation. Some people contended he belonged there anyhow, what with Billy being for the birds, but he and Manager Paul Richards formed an instant mutual admiration society.- ——- r ,It. lasted, just as long as xu> '’body, including Richards, expected the Orioles to be winners. Not that Loes couldn’t be if he so desired. This 29-year-old righthander ’has all the “staff’ necessary to be a 20-game winner. But, as he once explained it, "If you win 20 games one year then they expect you to do it every year.” Would Require Effort This, of course, would require ’ a great deal of effort. That’s not for Billy, who also has Confessed in the past that baseball is simply an easy way to make a comfortable bundle but that, aside from this, he hates the sun and the game bores him. A screwball Is a pitch and Billy Loes is a pitcher. But there) is nothing to be done if certain people become slightly confused. Because nobody can understand a psychology which'limits a man of his talents to an eight-year high of 14 victories in one season. His refusal to win 20 games has something to do with it, for every time he has gotten close he has developed a convenient sore arm. Then, too. there are always the umpires. Once, when one of the men in blue called a questionable ball, Billy wanted to roll the ball to the plate on the next pitch. That was in his days with the erstwhile Brooklyn Dodgers and catcher Roy Campanella talked him out of it. Last season, with Baltimore, he stuck out his tongue openly as if preparing to throw a spitter. The umpire charged. Billy devilishly displayed a dry ball. He was warned. Billy stuck out his tongue; again while preparing to pitch. Again the umpire charged. So did Richards. Privately he chewed Billy out. End of Line Later, when Loes threw the ball away in disgust in another game and permitted a run to score uncontested, Richards “had it.” He fined Loes and suspended him three days. By now the love feast was over and Loes openly criticized Richards as a man who had set himself up as a deity. The only predictable thing about Loes is his unpredictability. You can take that from Campanella who recalls a game in which he gave Loes the sign to throw to first to hold the baserunner. Campy relaxed and almost missed the ball as Loes fired to the plate. “I went out and (asked him didn’t he get the sign,” Campy says. “What sign?” Loes demanded. “I didn’t see no sign. Tell you what. You go back and give it to me again and see how we do.” “So,” sighs Campy, “what you gonna do?” ' Richards did it. And Washington, where victory is a stranger, looks like a good place for Billy to make friends. »

College Stars Are Winners In Pan-American LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPl)—The College All-Stars, based on their initial showing, should breeze through the Pan-American Games basketball trials without taking a deep breath.

However, Green was the night’s biggest star as he added ,20 points and grabbed 27 rebounds. All-America Jerry West of West Virginia also was impressive as he totaled 22 points, including a clutch basket with less than three minutes left that broke an 81-81 tie. Louisville's Don Goldstein then pumped in a long jump shot and Kansas State’s Bob Boozer t scored on a tap-in to sink the Oilers.

Bill Skowron Likely To Miss Season Opener By FRED DOWN United Press International The New York Yankees’ hopes for another “blitz" getaway in the American League pennant chase were dimmed today when slugging first-baseman Bill Skowron became an unlikely starter in their April 10 opener. The muscular Skowron, who was batting a sizzling .446 this spring, suffered a bad wrench in his back before Thursday’s game with the St. Louis Cardinals/ A similar ailment caused him to miss virtually the entire 1957 World Series. The situation was considered so serious that even Whitey Ford’s eight strong innings in the Yankees’ 2-1 victory over the Cardinals failed to lift Manager Casey Sten'*T’s spirits. Although a rugged-looking 195pounder, Skowron is surprisinly brittle and also is considered a slow healer. Past injuries included a broken thumb, a sprained back and ripped back muscles suffered while trying to install an air conditioning unit in his home. He suffered his latest injury Thursday when he slipped on a muddy field during an infield drill. Yields Nine Hits Ford Yielded nine hits in eight innings but held the Cardinals in check easily after they scored a run in the first inning. The Yankees scored the decisive run in the sixth when Hank Bauer walked, and Gil .McDougald and Mickey Mantle singled. The Boston Red Sox scored a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, the Cleveland Indiahs beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-2, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 6-5, and the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Baltimore Orioles, 8-6, in other exhibition games. _ The Red Sox beat the Giants for the fifth time in seven tries with the help of a two-run homer by Frank Malzone and a solo roundtripper by Haywood Sullivan. Ike Delock limited the Giants to two runs in six innings, Daryl Spencer homering in the second and Jim Davenport driving in Andre Rodgers with a double in the fifth. Tito Francona’s two-run, eighthinning double snapped a 2-2 tie and enabled the Indians to win their 11th game in 23 tries. Cleveland rookie right-hander Jim Perry struck out five batters and allowed only three hits for six innings but the Cubs tied the score in the seventh when Earl Averill hit a two-run homer. Win Uphill Battle The White Sox won an uphill struggle when Jim Landis homered against Joe Nuxhall in the ninth. Gus Bell had sent the Reds off to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and Frank Robinson homered in the fourth to make it 4-2. The White Sox tied the score at 5-5 with two runs in the sixth. Rookie Don Rudolph was the winner.
