By HAL PARIS AKRON, Ohio (A P) Power-hitting Jack Nicklaus looms as an overwhelming favorite to capture the Professional Golfers Association championship at the Firestone Country Club starting Thursday. That would give him three-fourths of a 1966 grand slam. The blond belter from Columbus, Ohio, reached another pinnacle in his brief but illustrious golfing career by annexing the British Open July 8. The Golden Bear already 'owns the Masters champion-ship, but won't have a shot at the coveted slam. Billy Casper made certain of that by taking the National Open title three weeks ago in San Francisco.

Nicklaus has to be regarded as the man to beat. He has an enviable record in PGA competition, with one championship, two seconds and a third in four tries. Jack won the tournament in 1963, tied for second in 1964 behind Bobby Nichols and was runner-up to Dave Marr a year ago. Nicklaus consistently has played the tough Firestone layout in impressive fashion. He won the first two World Series of golf events on this same course in 1962 and 1963.

He has the brute strength to overcome the monstrous 625-yard No. 16 hole. Still, there are others to contend with, hke Casper, the PGA's leading money-winner who was at bis best with back-to-back triumphs in the National Open and Western Open. 3:45 m. wiU resume on Tuesday, following only an afternoon session on Monday.

"Hong Kong? Did you say Hong Kong?" the secre-tary said. No, Im sorry, Mr.

Palmer isnt here now. Ill put Mr. Rosenthal on. From another of the five bus-iaire business tycoon, the inti-tiing rooms came the troubled mate of the kings of finance. He has two secretaries whose only duties are to answer mail from his many fans, known as Arnies army.

An indication of Palmer's mad merry-go-round was seen in his hectic schedule recently after his victory in the Tournament of Champions at Las Vegas. After collecting 20,000 silver dollars for beating Gay Brewer in a playoff on a Monday afternoon, Palmer went directly to the airport where he' boarded prises. of which he Is president, consists of five separate divisions. The New York branch deals strictly with sports wear shirts, slacks, jackets, sweaters and hats, all made by various manufacturers and distributed throughout the world under the Arnold Palmer label. Three other divisions have headquarters in Cleveland, where they can be overlooked by McCormack and a staff of six lawyers.

They include the TV-radio division. which -avrw uiviaiuai wmwu ard of the Fhiladclj)iia Eagles will assemble in its entirety in ijhis Chocolate Capital today prepare for the great battle of he National Football League lQ 19ti6, Joining the advanced corps of 40 players who have been here for six days will be jo veterans, swelling the roster to a grand total of 78 candi- dates.

In addition, list one week remains before the formal "60-minute scrimmage between the Eagles and Washington Redskins rookies at Ifershey Stadium, Saturday, 'July 23 at 8 a m. Tickets for the rookie scrimmage are priced at $1, and can be purchased at the Eagles office, 30th and Market Streets. There will be no reserved seats for the game. Fans will be 'seated on a first-come, first- served basis.

Kuharich and his staff of 'Dick Evans, Dick Stanfel, Herman Ball, Fred Bruney and Mike Nixon are pleased with the work of the early arriv-'als. Most of these players came well prepared physically and they are to be commended, said Kuharich. Their work this past week has been satisfactory, but they have a long way go. With the arrival of the veterans on Sunday, the pace will be stepped up. It will require hard work and dedication from each Individual in camp to make this training period a successful one." The veterans expected to- inorrow will face a routine la-miliar to each of them.

This year I decided to set certain periods aside when I would attend to aU my business obligations.

Then when I go to a golf tournament I shut out everything but golf. I tell my people I dont want to be disturf I disconnect the telephone. PAYS DIVIDENDS The revised formula has paid dividends. Palmer won the Los Angeles Open, the first tournament on the seasons tour; finished second in two other events, third in another and recently won the Tournament of Champions at Las Vegas. for the second time in a row.

He will be one of the favorites in the National Open at San Francisco June 16-19. When I play golf now, I feel fresh and relaxed. I am eager again, he says. My main aim is to win. Many observers doubt that Palmer will be able successfully to isolate himself from bis business responsibilities.

Nobody except perhaps Uncle Sam and Palmers business manager, Mack McCormack of Cleveland knows exactly how much these businesses are worth, The best educated guess is that they turn over $5 to $10 million a year. Palmer may be the wealthiest athlete of all time. His personal yearly income is placed at between $800,000 and $1 million.

The rest of the time he is pulling the strings on a growing golf empire that, in one way or another, touches the lives of almost every one of the 7,000,000 devotees of the game in the United States not to mention uncounted millions overseas. Sometimes the two ventures clash, as last year when Palmer won only one tournament and dropped to tenth in the PGA official money list, the tours measure of performance. Palmer found himself in a tight squeeze.

If he concentrated on golf he had to neglect his many business ventures. If he applied himself too much to business, his golf suffered. Then people would start buying other brand name golf equipment. MAKES COMPROMISE Troubled by his slump and the heightening pressure of the powerful, 26-year-old Jack Nicklaus, 10 years his junior, Arnie rearranged his schedule and hit upon an apparent compromise decision. voice of another secretary: Say, Stella, do you know what country Singapore is in? Its a country by itself," Stella responded.

Just make it Singapore. This is a normal, every-day scene at the headquarters of Arnold Palmer Enterprises in New York. The spacious reception room is festooned with pictures of Palmer, modelling various styles of sports wear, blazers, shirts, sweaters and slacks. Across the room in a glass-encased cabinet are a few of Palmers prized trophies a gold Canada Cup, showing he once won that international golf event; a silver replica of the clubhouse' at Augusta, attesting to one of his four Masters victories; a plaque naming him the best long iron player in America for 1965, and a faded athleuc certificate from Wake Forest College. But these are clearly only incidental.

The accent is on caps, shirts, slacks and money.

Aft-er a four-day session with predominantly rookies, 34 veterans were scheduled to check in today at the Baltimore Colts camp I here. Many questions remain to be answered as the vets make their initial 1966 appearance Foremost, of course, are John Unitas right knee and Gary Cuozzos left shoulder. The two quarterbacks were rocked out of action last December and will be testing their injuries for the first time in regular drills. While Colts head coach Don Shula is confident that his two passing aces will rebound successfully, the signal-calling position is being fortified by 13-year pro veteran Ed Brown and rookies Jim Ward (Gettysburg) and Fred Custardo (Illinois), both of who impressed in last weeks drills. I had to like the way tho early camp hirnad out," Shula commented.

The front line situation doesnt figure to be resolved before Balls return. For the present, at least, the duel for the punting assignment is being waged between rookies Jim Hollingsworth (Charleston, W.

Va. Rockets), Rod Stewart (Duke) and perhaps Gerald Gross (Auburn), although the latter is still busy trying to earn a running back job. Hollingsworth and Stewart are specialists whose booting in training camp chased away other candidaes. The Colts also open their summer drills realizing that they could use bench assistance for the defensive line and the pass-catching crew. As the vets get underway the Colts have reserve ends in Andy Stynchula and Roy Hilton but no experienced spare tackles unless Stynchula, acquired from New York during the off-season, is shifted inside.

Andy, however, is regarded as a superior end. For mammoth rookies Tom Carr (Morgan State) and Claude Brownlee (Benedict), both 6-4 and weighing 245 and 265, respectively, there could be a wide open shot at a defensive berth if they continue to progress as they did in the early drills. Rick (Kentucky), John McGuire (Syracuse), Knox Pittard (Baylor) and A1 Snyder (Holy Cross) have thus far been the top receivers among the newcomers.
