Associated Press Sports Writer AUGUSTA. Ga. Stan Leonard had some luck that was denied others Thursday and led the way through the first round of the 23rd Masters Golf Tournament. With the aid of a couple of man on the back nine where swirling winds and a winding creek make golf hazardous at Augusta National, the balding, 42-year-old Canadian pro fired an opening round of His three under par for the 6.980- yard par course gave Leonard a two-stroke edge over Arnold Palmer, the defending champion from Pennsylvania; Jack Burke, the 1956 winner; and former PGA champion Chandler Harper. A combination of gusty winds and greens softened by Wednesday night's rain made it difficult for some of the most famous players in the select field of 87 to judge their shots.

As a result, only four players bettered Augusta National's usually tough par for the first round and five others shot even par 72s. The par-shooters were U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt. Peter Thomson, Spain's Angel Miguel. and touring pros Gene Littler and Jay Hebert.

Littler had the extra distinction of doing it with 18 straight pars. Ben Hoga, whose impressive list of titles includes two Masters victories, was bracketed at 73 with Gary Player of South Africa, Dick Mayer, the 1957 Open champion, Dave Thomas of Wales, and Art Wall, top money winner this year, among others. Three-time masters champion Sam Snead posted a 74 and complained: hit some of the best shots of my life making bogies. The wind was never the same. I was either over the green or short all day." Other 74 shooters included Cary Middlecoff and Claude Harmon, former winners of this tournament, former Open champion Fleck and Charlie Coe, the current U.S.

Amateur champion. By JOE BRADIS PITTSBURGH of the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission Thursday rapped back at a proposal to abolish the commission and transfer its duties to a deputy commonwealth secretary. At the same time the 3-man commission adopted a new regulation to stimulate boxing in the state by naming state boxing champions in six weight divisions. They are featherweight Clifton Bradley, Philadelphia; lightweight Len Matthews, Philadelphia; welterweight Sugar Hart, Philadelphia; middleweight Bobb Gordon, Charleroi; light heavyweight Harold Johnson, Philadelphia; and heavyweight Sonny Charles Liston, Philadelphia. In adopting the new regulation, the commission said a state champion would be required to defend his title within 90 days when a creditable challenger was listed.

No challenger list was issued. Neither was a champion delegated for the featherweight and bantamweight divisions. The commission said there were no outstanding boxers in those divisions in the state. The commission also said that championship bouts would be 12- rounds unless otherwise specified. The challengers would be required to be residents of the state for at least one year.

The proposal to eliminate the commission was introduced in the Senate Tuesday by Sen. Z. H. Confair Confair told the Senate the commission has had the effect of stiffling boxing in Pennsylvania. He said the state had only 37 matches in 1956 28 in 1957; and 36 in 1958.

A1 Kline, the commission's eastern representative from Philadelphia, said Confair had not taken into consideration other duties of the commission besides supervising boxing. Kline said there must be some authority to supervise wrestling, amateur and professional boxing in the state and no one man could do it. Replying to criticism in some quarters that the commission is not self-supporting, he stated: never was intended to be self-supporting. It is like the state police department. And no ever suggested to liquidate the state Paul Sullivan.

Pittsburgh Attorney and western repreesentative, said Pennsylvania the best legal setup of wrestling and boxing I Jim Crowley, chairman of the commission and central representative, said boxing has been in the doldrums but it isn't a state problem but a national one. The commission is charged with regulating boxing and wrestling. It also licenses fighters and promoters, regulates their injury insurance and life insurance policies. In 1958 there were a total of 711 stakes races at American thoroughbred race tracks with a total of $14.640,286 an all-time record in added money.
