AUGUSTA, Ga, April s.
The largest field ever to swarm
over the awesome acreage and
undulating greens Of Augusta
National Golf Course tees off
today in the 26th Masters golf
championship, and three estab-
lished pros and a confident
rookie find themselves sitting
squarely on the hot seat.
The first three are Defend
ing Champion Gary Player,
Arnold Palmer and Billy Cas-
per. The newcomer is 21year-
old Jack Nicklaus, still looking
for his first professional tri-
umph, which he and a muSh-
rooming crowd of supporters
think will come here Sunday
afternoon at the conclusion of
the 72-hole carnival.
A total of ITO shotmakers
will be seeking the title. Par
is 36-36-72.
Player takes with him the
cruel jinx that has haunted
every defending champion since
1885. No one ever has won two
successive Masters titles. How
ever, Gary, with a new putter
and new stroke on the greens,
hopes to conquer it.
Palmer Seeking Third
The flat-swinging South At
rican won last year with 280.
thanks to the double-bogey six
suffered by Palmer on the 72d
hole. Palmer is searching not
only for revenge and a third
Masters green coat, but his
third victory Of the year.
The former Latrobe Pa)
slugger, now playing out of
Miami, took the Palm Springs
Classic and Phoenix Open and
tuned up yesterday with a "a
on the front nine.
1t was the best score Arnold
has made since he arrived
early in the week, and was a
stern warning that he has got
ten his game together again
after several disappointing
showings recently.
The usual game Of pick the
favorite is being played again.
This time the biggest crowd is
forming behind Casper, the
chubby ex-National Open
champion from California.

Casper, who also warmed to
the task with a "a yesterday

is the 1862 top money winner

Doral Open in Miami and was
fourth in the Azalea last week.

Problems for Opening Day

oSki's home run. He was scored
on in only two Of the last 81
innings he pitched and his
earned-run average for %
innings was a remarkable ISL.
The Pirates scored their sec
ond run in the eighth off Marty
Kutyna, who finished up.
The Senators were helpless
at the hands of Bob Veale, the
6-6 Negro lefthander who
makes Daniels look small, and
his successors. John Lamabe
and Diomedes Olivo. Bob John
son singled to right in the sec
ond inning, and Piersall beat
out a bunt in the seventh.
Veale pitched the first six in
nings, Lamabe the next two and
Olivo the ninth.
Only two Senators reached
second, Danny O'Connell in the
fourth when he walked and
stole second, and PierSall when
he advanced on Dale Longs slow
tap to the pitcher. Veale famed
six and Lamabe two. Larry
Elliot had three singles for the
Pirates.
NOTES.-The Senators will
work out in Portsmouth this
afternoon and Joe McClain will
pitch against Pittsburgh there
Friday. The Pirates will not
leave here until Friday morn
ing. Southpaws Pete Burn
side and Claude Osteen will
pitch the weekend series
against the Pirates in Wash
ington.
PierSall is getting in form
with opening day near. After
being thrown out of Tuesdays
game, he was riding the Pirates
from the Senators bench yes
terday. Long has had his
usual trouble with southpaws
and his average has dropped
below 400 for the first time.

Snead Given
Salary Boost
By Redskins
By STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

Quarterback Norman Snead,
who is in the service now, made
good use of another pass today
and signed his 1862 Redskins
contract which calls for a salary
boost.
The first of last years regu-
lars to come to terms, Snead
checked into town from Fort
Jackson. s. c., with the typical
Army crew cut, a smile and ar
expert rifleman's badge pinned
on his chest. "If it had beer
anything other than that,
Coach Bill McPeak joked after
n oticing g the sharpshootine
medal. wed have shifted him
to tackle"
Snead's craftsmanship with
the Redskins this fall will have
a direct bearing on the clubs
ambitions. AS a rookie last sea-
son, he was rushed into regu-
lar assignment and played a IA
game schedule like a veteran
quarterback. He completed 172
Of 375 passes for 1887 yards
and II touchdowns.
Both McPeak and Snead
anticipated even better things
this fall.
THE kids ability is unlim-
ited." McPeak said. He showed
that last season under almost
impossible circumstances. With
the supporting cast he's got
now-that is, the boost in our
running attack-it should bring
out the very best in him."
Snead, on a 14-day leave
after completing basic train
ing. figures the addition of
Halfbacks Bobby Mitchell and
Bill Barnes will give the offenSe
the balance it lacked last year.

FORT MYERS, Fla, April S.
Minor injuries, more irri-
tating than anything else,
leave the Senators with three
question marks in Mondays
opening day lineup against
the Tigers in D. c. Stadium.
The latest doubtful starter
is Chuck Cottier, who suffered
a badly bruised shin when hit
by his own foul tip in the third
inning of yesterdays 20 loss
to the Pirates. 1t was only the
Senators second defeat in eight
games against National League
opposition.
Cottier's shin was cut slightly
and badly swollen, but Trainer
Tom McKenna said the quick
handed second baSeman may
be ready. Cottier probably will
miss the next three exhibitions
with the Pirates, tomorrow in
Portsmouth. Va. and Saturday
and Sunday in D. C. Stadium.
Finger Still Hurts
Catcher Bob Schmidt took
batting practice and also was
behind the plate for a few
minutes before the game yes
terday, but said his injured
finger hurt when he swung and
when he threw. Il think I'll
be all right" Schmidt said,
but he may not know until he
takes batting practice Monday
before the Presidential pitch.
Manager Mickey Vernon has
had Harry Bright catching the
last two games. If Schmidt
doesn't start it will be Ken
Retzer catching Bennie DAN
iels. but Vernon wanted Bright
to get a little more work be-
hind the plate in case he is
needed.

Willie will not start against
the Tigers unless he can go

Larry expected to pitch for the
Tigers Monday. Vernon will
have a righthand hitter in left
field. either Tasby or Chuck
Hinton. Gene Woodling will be
in right and Jim Piersall ir
center.
Schaive Backs Up COttier
If Cottier'S leg shows him up
too much. he will be replaced
by John Schaive. the perennial
rookie whose favorite position
is second base.
Schaive has had only five
hits in % times at bat this
spring, but Vernon has been
moderately impressed by his
play, enough. at least, to keep
him over Billy Klaus.
Schaive handled seven
chances at second after replac-
ing Cottier yesterday and
while none of them was par
ticularly difficult. he made
them all look easy.
Daniels had his final tuneup
in a Six-inning test and the
only run he gave up was on
Bill MaZeroski'S home run in
the second. Bennie was hit
harder than in his last two
outings, but the Pirates got
only six safetieS off him.
Daniels had a streak of IL

Although he is outwardly
the calmest of players, laugh

aware that four of the last five
leaders of the PGA tours dol

Doug Ford started the trend
in 1857. He was followed by
Art Wall in 1859, Palmer in
1860 and Player last year. Cas-
per is perhaps the best putter

to the fore. He showed his

course such as this is Jacks

Jack OutscOres Palmer
He has played four practice
rounds with Palmer, outscoring
him each time. The two-time
National Amateur titlist says he
feels better about playing here
than ever before.
II was never really IN shape
for a Masters before" he said
yesterday. II always had to go
to school and didn't get much
practice in the winter. But
now it's different. If I don't
win, I won't have that excuse.
I can't think of any better time
to come of age" he said.
Although this foursome
stands out, there are innum-
cradle others waiting in the
wings with the equipment to
win. There is Phil Rodgers, the

In it were the manuscripts Of
a great many more Boswell
journals, including the origi-
nal Tour to the Hebrides." "
This varied greatly from the
published version for which
Boswell had used the editor
ial assistance Of Edward Ma
lone, the great Shakespear-
can scholar. The original
Tour" was published for the
first time in 1886. The pres
ent volume is a reprint from
the origina al plates, with
about a hundred pages of ad-
ditional notes and a guide for
those who want to retrace
the journey on a literary va
cation.
More Boswell manuscripts
were found in 1910, and Ito
come to an end new items
have arrived at Yale as late
as 1861. Early in the game.
Yale University acquired all
known Boswelliana and un-
dertook to publish all the
journals and letters in
chronological order - not in
one edition but in two. Six
volumes of the popular"
edition appeared after the
Tour, and now the Tour"
is republished to take its
place in the chronological
sequence. The first volume of
the scholarly" edition. in
which the paraphernalia of
notes will be even more ex-
haustive than in the popular
edition - astonishing to
readers of the present we'll
documented volumes -, and
which will retain Boswell's
exact spelling and capitalize
ton, is scheduled to appear
before 1853"
Thus it can be seen that
scholarship has made the
most of Boswell, a best-seller
a century and a half after
his death. The seven volumes
that have appeared since
1895 continue to delight the
common reader as much as
they intoxicate the specialist.
And why not? We live in an
age in which the exposure of
ones life is as fashionable
in print as on the couch, but
candor isn't everything. Bos-
well. too, tells all; but Bos!

Of such gifts that he could

fred A. Knopf: $6.950
The two-volume German
edition Of this world-famous
book appeared 1918-1922 and
the English version, from
Knopf, in 1926-2s. 1t was a
sensation among the intel
ligentSia from its first ap-
pearance and. after thirty
years, still sells, in the two
volume edition, thousands of
copies a year. Now, a genera
ton later, it is abridged for
the less patient reader.

vell's two-volume abridg-
ment Of Toynbee's nine vol
umes on this same subject,
a long-winded or obscure au-
thor Gas both these writer's
are) is frequently improved
by abridgment.
This Is notably true In the
present case, where the text
as printed is Spengler's, but
repetitive and irrelevant sec
tions have been excised.
These are bridged, where
necessary, by explanatory
passages written by Werner
and distinguished from the
original by appearing in ital-
les printed within brackets.
The result Is a volume of
considerable value, not per-
haps to the student Of Speng-
Ter but to the student Of the
intellectual outlook Of the
early twentieth century, es-
pecially in Germany.
As an explanation Of how
societies evolve and perish
Spengler's work has little
merit. 1t is too subjective,
lopsided, and personal. But
as an example Of the think
ing which appears In a ma
ture civilization in crisis, 1t
is Of great value. From tbs
point Of view, the present
abridgment is more conven-
lent by far than the original.
