Big O, West Splurge Robertson, the Cincinnati flash who won the national collegiate scoring crown for the second straight year, was joined by fellow All-America Jerry West of West Virginia in a splurge that broke Friday night's game open. The collegians held a 59-50 lead ’ after five minutes of the second > half and then Robertson hit seven points and West four in the next i four minutes, while the Armed Forces were being blanked, to roll ■ up a 70-50 margin. West finished with 17 point* i Adrian Smith, former Kentucky star, led the servicemen with 18. Phillips, beaten six out of seven times by Wichita during the season just concluded, found a new spark in the six-eight Bonsalle, a former University of Illinois star whom the Oilers borrowed from the Denver-Chicago Truckers for this tournament. In addition to his own 16 points, Bonsalle put a straitjacket on Don Boldebuck, the seven-foot Wichita ace who scorqd 24 points against the Armed Forces on Thursday. Boldebuck couldn’t get around the bulky Bonsalle and scored only one point. Phil Murrell matched Bonsalle's 16 points for the Oilers, but Dan Swartz of Wichita took game honors with 19.

Arnold Palmer Leads Masters By Two Strokes AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPD-Defend-ing champion Arnold Palmer was in a favorable position today to break the jinx that has kept any golfer from winning two Masters titles in a row. The long-ball hitting, 29-year-old Palmer, who was the leading in a favorable position today to tai of $42,607.50, led the 42 survivors in the 23rd Masters classic by two strokes going into the third round. “ ■ His 36-34—70, two under par, in Friday's second round for a total of 141 also was two strokes better than he was at the halfway mark last year when he won the tournament with a total of 284. Then Ken Venturi, who didn’t . survive the cut this year, was leading by three strokes but Palmer went on to win, »< Frequent Reminders “They keep reminding you that no champion ever has repeated here,” said Palmer. “But that doesn't worry me. I'm only concerned about winning it again.” Closest to Palmer, whose strength Friday was in his putting rather than his noted driving, was Stan Leonard, the veteran Canadian star, who slipped to a i two over par 74 — five strokes off his first round pace setting 69. “I didn’t putt well,” Leonard explained simply. Three strokes back of Palmer came seven golfers, including two foreign threats, Angel Miguel of Spain and Dave Thomas of England. The others at 144 were Ed (Porky) Oliver, Julius Boros, Mike Souehak, Paul Harney and Billy Maxwell. It took a score of 149 or better to qualify for the final two rounds and those who fell by the wayside besides Venturi — who was second choice to Sam Snead in the pre-tourney betting — included Jimmy Demaret, who has won this tourney three times and former U.S. Open champions Lloyd Mangrum and Ed Furgpl. Snead In Running •But still in the running were Snead, U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt, Ben Hogan, Gene Littler, PGA king Dow Finsterwald. Art Wall, the leading money winner this year, all at 147, Cary Middlecoff at 145 and U.S. amateur champion Carhley Coe at 148. Coe. however, was three strokes behind the two leading amateurs in the tourney — Billy Joe Patton and Bill Hyndman, both of whom had 145. Others still alive included Jay Hebert, Chandler Harper and Jackie Burke, who were tied for second at 71 after the first round. Jay Hebert and Harper had 145’s and Burke, who shot a second round 77, were in the 148 group. Scores generally were better Friday than on opening day. Rain soaked greets and fairways of the Augusta National Golf sun and the wind was not nearly sun and the wind was not nearly as strong. However, many of the players still complained about the breeze that swept the course Friday. Palmer was happy about hrs putting — he took only 28 putts and had nine one-putt greens Other qualifiers included fprmcr PGA champion Walter Burkemo, former Masters Doug Ford and Byron* Nelson, former

Jack Sanford Goes Route In Giant Victory By FRED DOWN United Pres* International Jack Sanford indicated today that the experts can throw ou. the “lost year" of 1958 as just one of those things. Obtained from the Philadelphia Phillies during the winter, the 200pound fireballer becamb the first San Francisco pitcher to go the distance Friday when he pitched the Giants to a 6-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. “If Sanford and Sam Jones can pitch up to their potential we can ?o all the way.” manager Bill Rigney has been saying all spring. “We’ll go as far as they can take us.” Sanford posxea a ±9-8 record as a rookie in 1957 but was a big disappointment with a ,10-13 record last season. The Phillips sent him to the Giants for San Francisco problem pitcher Ruben Gomez last winter. Two Shaky Innings Sanford’s performance was significant because he had his woi-st moments in the first two innings. Rocky Colavito homered off him in the first inning and the Indians pushed him around for four runs in the first two frames. Then Sanford settled down and shut out the Tribe the rest of the way. That solid San Francisco socking did the rest. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Kansas City Athletics, 6-1, the St. Louis Cardinals edged out the Chicago White Sox, 2-1, the Milwaukee Braves scored a 13-inning, 4-3 victory over the Washington Senators, the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-0, the Detroit Tigers whipped the Cincinnati Reds, 10-5, and the Philadelphia Phils beat the Baltimore Orioles under the Miami lights, 7-2, in other exhibition games. The Pirates batted around for four runs in the second inning and got six-hit pitching from Curt Raydon, Don Gross and Bob Smith. Key blows in the big rally were a double by Dick Groat and singles by Hank Foiles, Raydon and Roberto Clemente. Cards Shake Losing Streak Lindy McDaniel, Howard Nunn and Marv Grissom combined in a seven-hitter that enabled the Cardinals to end a six-game losing streak. The Cardinals got only five hits but scored in the third on Don Blasingame’s triple and Bill White’s sacrifice fly and gain in the fourth when Curt Flood homered. Wes Covington’s homer broke up the 13-inning contest between the Braves and Senators and marked Washington’s seventh straight loss. Center-fielder Bill Bruton threw out the potential winning run at the plate in the seventh and Johnny Logan had four hits to star for the Braves. John Gabler and Zack Monroe hurled a two-hitter for the Yankees who got the only run of the game when Gil McDougal slammed a homer in the second inning. Gabler worked six innings and gave up only a leadoff single to Jim Gilliam. John Roseboro beat out, a slow roller in the ninth for the only hit off Monroe. The Tigers romped to an easy win over the Reds as Rocky Bridges blasted a two-run homer and two other hits. Nine of the Tigers’ runs came in the first two innings off bonus baby Jay Hook, a rookie-right-hander who made his first start of the spring. Don Lee, Don Mossi and Jerry Davie yielded 10 Cincinnati hits including homers by Frank Thomas and Jerry Lynch. Jim Owens and Jack Meyer of the Phils combined to hold Baltimore to four hits. Owens was tagged for three hits and two runs in the first inning but pitched hitless ball for the next six frames and Meyer allowed just one bit in the last two. Harry Anderson and Carl Sawatski each clouted a tworun homer for the Phils. No Mixed Doubles Here This Evening There will be no mixed doubles tonight at Mies Recreation because of the doubles tourney now underway. Open bowling will be available this afternoon, with limited openings tonight and Sunday afternoon and evening.

Native Os Ireland Is Concert Representative

What does a man who travels around the country for living do, when he gets a few weeks off? Why, he takes a busman’s holiday —and travel?. Sean O’Dowd, representative for the Civic Concert Service, Inc., is no exception to this unwritten rule. 1 / Sean (pronounced Shawn) is the Callie counterpart for the American name of John, and the man, who is currently assisting the Adams county Civic Music association with its 1959-60 program, certainly has the “brogue” to go with the name. Born in Dublin, Ireland, WDowd came to America three years ago to lecture on travel tours. While employed at the San Jose, (Calif.) News in the circulation department, he was contacted by a woman who told him of the opportunities with the company he now represents. Altnougn Ms associations with Americans have forced him to temper his Callie inflections considerably, he still retains the often whimsical taint of Irish speech. A bachelor with “no apparent ties,” O’Dowd explained his observations of American women, compared with those in his native land. “American women, it seems, are much more broad-minded, neater, and independent that those in Ireland," O’Dowd explained. "They have an aura of women-of-the-world about them, a nice quality, I might add,” he remarked. He further noted the difference in manner of living as the major, factor in these differences. “Women over there must shop daily because no refrigeration is available. Other luxury items, like automobiles, are reserved for the higher classes, not the common man. All of which tends to make life a great deal different there,” he surmised. Although he has taken out his first citizenship papers, he must wait two more years to become a ■ U.S. citizen, one of his life-long goals. A qualified tour guide, O’Dowd spent eight years doing this work in Ireland. On his vacations, he would travel to Spain, Italy, France, and other places in Bowl -Scores Major League W L Pts.

He formed many lasting friendships with American touristy whith lea him to the U.S. Because his sponsors are from Wabash, he now makes his home there, although he spends only about three months put of the year there. Telling of the recitals that all representatives attend twice annually in New York at Carnegie Hall, the Met, or the Town Hall, he acknowledges the benefit of meeting the artists who are likely to be billed by the organizations he meets with. It affords the representatives the opportunity to know the temperaments of the stars who will appear on the tours he helps establish.
