preparation for the tournament Opener Rodney four-bagger in the second inning with nobody on base and Bart round tripper in the third with one runner on base were the key hits in the Northern attack

Palmer had a misunderstanding Wednesday with his most devoted fan in the opening round of the British Open Golf Championship and it cost him perhaps a couple of shots Palmer bidding for his third victory in the British championship but listed as only a 20-1 bet for the title scored a 73 two over par on 6-892-yard links The misunderstanding was between Palmer and his loyal Scottish caddie Tip Anderson who has carried clubs on this side of the Atlantic for the past 13 years Tip is more than a caddie a Palmer addict friend and counsellor He would rather saw off his carrying arm than give Amie a bit of wrong advice But it happened inadvertently on the 17th tee Palmer who left himself only two days for practice before the tournament asked Tip to give him the right line for his drive on the 542-yard hole it to the right Tip said hit it precisely where 1 meant Palmer said later ball went straight into the right side of a trap and I took two shots to get it out was talking about the fairway and I was talking about the trap I guess it was a two-shot WEDNESDAY'S RESULTS Chicago 5 Cleveland 4 Kansas City 11 Baltimore 4 Minnesota 7 Milwaukee 1 Detroit 3 Texas 1 New York 5 California
