The 33-year-old Lockman, an accomplished first baseman and outfielder, was taken off the coaching staff in an apparent admission that the Gordon Coleman project has been a flop. Coleman, the first baseman who came to the Reds from Cleveland in the Billy Martin deal, has been found wanting and the restoration of lockman to the active list more than likely means that any day nmv Whitey will be inserted into the regular Cinoinnati lineup.

Hits A Ton hits the ball a ton," Coach Bobby Bragan admitted, "but he may be a year or two away from the rnajors. It won't hurt him to spend another year in the minors, because he just can't miss being a star one day."

I AUGUSTA, (UPI) Palmer, the I960 Masters champion, is an almost nerveless golfer. However, the nation's top prO' fessional was a little tense Monday when he accepted an invitation to play a round with one of the world's best known amateur golfers, Dwight D. Eisenhower. The scene of, the match was Augusta's Natiorlal course, where Palmer won the Masters Sunday for the second time in three years.

President Eisenhower arrived here for a 10 to 14 springtime vacation and within an hour joined Palmer at the first tee. He greeted the Ligonier, golfer with a broad grin and a hearty "congratulations." "You played well and I hear you're a pretty good putter, too," the President said with a smile. Reporters were not permitted to watch the match but later were given a second-hand account of some of the jollity at the first tee. The President hit a creditable drive and did not require a "mulligan" practice shot as he frequently does. When Palmer addressed his ball, he seemed more awed by the presence of the Chief Executive than the thousands of spectators who followed him during fast week's tournament.

"I don't know whether the pressure was greater yesterday or today," said Pahner, who then 'hit one of his patented booming drives. Maj. Gen. Leonard D. Heaton, the Army's surgeon general who accompanied Eisenhower from Washington, and Clifford Roberts, chairman of the Augusta National, completed the presidential foursome.
