(AP Wirephoto) Kauffmans Trail in Pairs Skating By JACK HEWINS Associated Press Sports Writer SEATTLE (AP) Ron and Cindy Kauffman, U.S. pairs champions, found themselves a surprising second today after an off-form performance Wednesday night in the first half of their bid for a fourth successive title in. the National Figure Skating Championships.

The tall-brother-little-sister combination from Seattle and Lake Placid, N.Y., was edged out in the compulsory skating by this year's Pacific Coast championship pair, JoJo Star buck and Kenneth Shelley of Paramount, Calif. Each drew two first placements from the five judges but the Californians had three seconds, the Kauffmans only one. John Baldwin, 18-year-old bellboy at the Brpadmoor Hotel to Colorado Springs, took an apparently insurmountable lead in the junior men's school figures when he was placed first by four judges. Novice champion in 1967, Baldwin is such an excellent free skater that experts were ready to concede him the title without awaiting the event's finals tonight. Well back, but closely bunched, were the next four, Doug Berndt and Tim Flynn of Denver, Mark Rehfield of Harbor City, and Kenneth Class of New York City.

The halfway lead in junior ladies singles went to a 15-year- old New Yorker, Mary Lynn Golderman, who beat out Diane Garcia of Los Angeles and the Eastern champion, Louise Marie Vacca. Free skating for these junior misses also is set for tonight. Judith Kay Schwomeyer of In dianapolis and James Sladky of Rochester, N.Y., Syracuse University students and defending gold dance champions, took an apparent lead in that event under a new format calling for four compulsory dances. Three were skated Wednesday, the fourth is due today and the deciding free dance will be Friday night. First competition in senior men's singles is scheduled this morning with skating of school figures.

Tim Wood of Detroit is defending champion and favored. Action does not start until Friday in women's singles where the new champion will succeed Olympic medalist Peggy Fleming, now a professional. The shaky showing of the Kauffmans boosted interest in the pairs event, which climaxes with free skating Saturday night. Very much in the running are Sheri Thrapp and Larry Dusich of Bur bank, who were third in the compulsory skating.

WASHINGTON (AP) Robert E. Short, who says he's impatient with failure, has moved quickly to bring leadership to the Washington Senators, a baseball team without a winning season in 17 years. In his first full work day after officially purchasing the American League team, the Minneapolis millionaire fired General Manager George Selkirk and Field Manager Jim Lemon. Other personnel changes were also expected, and Short hinted that farm director Hal Keller may be next on the ousted list.

"Quite obviously, we may have to build up the farm system," said Short, who scheduled a meeting with Keller today. Selkirk and Lemon were offered other jobs the Senators organization, and both said they had not decided whether to accept. Lemon, whose rookie year as manager ended last season with the Senators entrenched in 10th place, said he had "an amicable talk" with Short and was surprised by his dismissal. "I felt it was coming he said. Lemon said he was offered "a job which is a mixture between scouting and hitting Neither Selkirk nor Short disclosed what position the former general manager was offered but Selkirk said he planned "to sleep 'on it" before deciding whether to stay.

In firing Selkirk, general manager during six losing seasons, Short said he was eliminating the position entirely and added: "I do not operate with a general manager in any of my businesses. I will draw' the table of organization with one chief executive officer." A club spokesman said some of the fiutues now handled by Selkirk would probably be assigned to another man under new title, director of player procurement.
