Washington and Baltimore will be Idle Tuesday. The Yankees ruled a powerful l-to-3 favorite to register their pennant. A three-team battle involving the Giants, Dodgers and Reds has been predicted In the National.

Off-season trades, of which there were a record number, were ex peeled to spice the pennant races. All clubs except the Twins, who finished second last year, participated. The Yankees open with Joe Pepitone at first base after having traded Bill Skowron to the Dodgers for pitcher Stan Williams. Detroit has a new catching staff consisting of veteran Otis Triandos and rookie Bill Freehan and a new relief pitcher, Bob Anderson, Baltimore, which may have made the most Judicious trades of all clubs, start newcomers Luis Aparicio at shortstop, Al Smith in right field, Dick Brown and John Orsino behind the plate, Joe Gaines in the outfield and Pete Burnslde and Stu Miller on the mound. Cleveland acquired two new first basemen, veteran Joe Adcock anc young Fred Whitfield.

The Indians big boast, however, are three flashy rookies, shortstop Tony Martinez, third baseman Max Alvis and center fielder Vic Davilillo. Boston augmented its attack by the acquisition of right-handed sluggers Dick Stuart and Roman Mejias. The White Sox, rebuilding with youth, will depend upon newcomers Pete Ward at third base, Dave Nicholson in the outfield and Ronnie Hansen at shortstop. They also have added Hoyt Wilhelm, the veteran relief artist. Washington, trying desperately to escape the American League basement, has made numerous changes while the Angels are hoping Bob Turley, former Yankee pitching ace, earns a starting job.

Kansas City has a pair of newcomers in pitcher Ted Bowsfield and outfielder Chuck Essegian. In the National League, the Dodgers will present a better balanced batting order because of the addition of the right-handed slugging Skowron. Los Angeles may also open with a pair of rookies, second baseman Nate Oliver and third baseman Ken McMullen. The Giants have the same team that won the pennant, plus a couple of pitchers acquired from Baltimore, Jack Fisher and Billy Hoeft. The Reds will introduce two of the most promising rookies in the league in outfielder Tommy Harper and second baseman Pete Rose.

The Cardinals appear to have benefitted themselves greatly through trades that brought outfielder George Altman, shortstop Dick Groat and pitcher Ron Taylor Pittsburgh traded three-fourths of regular infield, acquiring in return, pitcher Don Cardwell and Don Schwall, catcher Jim Pagliar- oni and outfielder Ted Savage. Milwaukee will show newcomers Ty Cline and Don Dillars, outfielders: and Frank Funk, pitcher. Philadelphia feels it has rounded out its infield with the acquisition of third baseman Don Hoak. The Phillies also have acquired pitcher Ryne Duren and catcher Karl Averill. The Colts.

Houston will present Pece Runnels, the American League batting champion; outfielders Howie Goss and Carroll Hardy, pitchers Dave Gerard and Don Nottebart, as well as such promising rookies as John Bateman, Dave Adlcsh, Brook Da- vis and Al The Cubs added fMtdtfti Larry Jackson, Lindy McDaniei and tuck Lemay; Infielders Steve Ken Aspromonte and catcher ritt Ranew.

Nicklaus Becomes Youngest Winner Of Masters Tourney Record Books Don't Tell Tourney's Complete Story Augusta, April Young Jack Nicklaus, a sandy- haired money maker with golf clubs as his tools, seems intent on reducing the game's "Big Three" to the "Big One." With his victory In the 27th Masters tournament Sunday, this powerful 23-year-old sophomore professional continued to dominate other members of golf's ruling trio Palmer and Gary Player as he has done in most of their major meetings, starting with the U.S. Open last year.

In that Open, he beat Palmer in a playoff for the title, later whipped Palmer and Player in the inaugural "World Series of Golf," where the trio met head-to- head in a 36-hole match, and now has taken a Masters crown from the two former Masters champions. Shouldering aside ever-increasing pressure as first one, then another competitor made a bid and fell back in the final round of the Masters, Nicklaus showed the determination it takes to make a great champion. After on Now. and 12 knocked him out of the lead, he rallied with a pair of birdies and Mnk a. clutch three-foot putt on the 18th to win by one shot from Tony Lema and beat Juliun Boron and faltering Sam Snead by two strokes.

Lema closed with a 2-under par 70 for 287. Boros, playing with Nicklaus, also had a 72 for 288 and Snead fired a 71 for 288. But when it was all over It was Nicklaus' show and the Columbus, Ohio, comet became the youngest man ever to win the Masters. Palmer, the defending champion, gtarted rallies in both the third and fourth rounds, but never was able to get one of his amazing comeback drives really rolling. He closed with a 71 for 291 and a tie with Don January for ninth place.

Player, who twice during the final round was tied with Snead and Nicklaus for top spot, finiahed bogey-bogey for a 70 and 289, putting him in a tie for fifth with Ed Furgol and Dow Finsterwald. Nicklaus picked up $20,000 for his victory and that put him on top of the PGA money winning list at $36,715. Final scores and money winners of the Masters Golf Tournament over the par 72 Augusta National course: Jack Nicklaus, $20,000 Augusta, April 27th Masters golf tournament is in the record books. The cold statistics will reveal for all time that bulky Jack Nicklaus of Columbus, Ohio, scored 286 and won the tournament by one stroke over Callfor- nian Tony Lema. But the record books won't tell the complete story of the tournament, of the fate that befell those who almost Take Lema, for example.

The 29-year-old ex-Marine 'is in his eighth year as a professional but it wasn't until last fall that he began to attract attention by winning tournaments. A double bogey 7 he shot on the eighth hole of the first round came back to haunt him Sunday. Had he parred the hole he, not Nicklaus, would be the proud owner of the traditional Masters champion green jacket. Sam Snead is another case in point. The slammer will be 51 next month, but he played with the zest of a man half that age in finishing tied for third with Julius Boros at 288, two strokes back of the winner.

Sam was after a record fourth Masters title and, no doubt, In weeks to come he'll reflect on dou- )le bogeys he shot on the 12th and 13th holes in the third round. A ripple of excitement charged the course Sunday when Snead suddenly shot into the lead with back-to-back birdj.es on 14 and 15. That put him two under par and two shots ahead of Nicklaus and Julius Boros, who were three holes behind. But on the last three holes Sam hit two of what he called "my three bad iron shots of the round." The other was a missed shot to the ninth green. Then there was Gary Player, the 1961 Masters champion.

He started the round five shots off the lead. Through 15 holes he was four under par with four birdies and 11 pars. He called a missed putt on the short 16th the key to his fate. As for Palmer, he must wait another year to launch his treasured bid for a "grand slim" of the Masters, U.S. and British Opens and PGA championship.

The muscular Pennsylvanian finished tied for ninth place at 291. dhrMOpner Phut.

The Hays High Indians and St. Joseph's Cadets are scheduled to play double-headers Tuesday afternoon. The Indians are slated to meet the Great Bend Black Panthers at the Hays Ball Park while the Cadets entertain the Victoria Knights at the Hays Babe Ruth Park.

The Cadets have played only one game this season and they lost that one to the Indians 4-0. The Indians are now 1-1 after losing to the Victoria Knights last Friday 11-6. Cal Faulkner of Hays High and Gerald Sadowski of the Cadets are in doubt about their starting hurlers. Coach Faulkner did mention he would probably start Steve Joy, Dan Jacobs or Gene 1 Rider, while Sadowski named Steve Neilson, Bob Power or freshman Ron Schueler as probable hurlers; The Indians' remaining lineup will probably be the same as started against the Knights Friday: Dave Hell at first base; Steve Schlegel at second; Mark Hartman at short; Jerry Cook at third; Butch Heuser catching; Henry Krueger in left; Rider or Wayne Hammerschmidt in center and Joy or Roger Batman in right field. The Cadets' probable starting team will be made up of Tom Wai ters behind the plate; Schueler a first; Tony Haas at second; Leiker at short; Billy Paul Walters at third; Tom Koerner in left Dick Palmer or Steve Wasinger in center and Bob Kreutzer in right The Indians, in their two out ings, have picked up a total of 11 hits with Cook the top hitter, col lecting four hits in six times a' bat for an average of .666.

Vever Bend Are Derby's Tops By John Chandler AP Sports Writer Candy Spots or Never Bend, or Pepitone-lb urn 'em around and make it Nev- Boyer-3b Bend and Candy Spots. Take Terry-p-23-12 pick for the Kentucky Derby. Nothing happened on the 3-year- ild front Saturday to make the wners of the two top Derby shudder. The field for the 89th running of he classic still is far from set- but if as many as 10 ahow ip at Churchill Downs in Louisville May 4 it will be surprising. The smallest field in recent years was nine in 1957 when Iron Liege nosed out Gallant Man.

In 1948, vhen Calumet's Citation and Coaltown ran 1-2, only six started. Harry Guggenheim's Never Bend, champion 2-year-old of 1962 and winner of Hialeah's Flamingo March 2, is training at Keeneland, Lexington, Trainer Woody Stephens plans to put him in the 7- furlong Forerunner Purse there April 19. Then Never Bend, pride of the East, may go in the 6-furlong Stepping Stone Purse at Churchill Downs April 26, or the mile Derby Trial there April 30. Rex C. Ellsworth's western star, Candy Spots, left Miami Sunday for Louisville and is due Monday night.

Candy Spots mopped up the California sophomore crop in the Santa Anita Derby, then went to Gulfstream Park and took care of the Florida Derby which Never Bend skipped. Trainer Meshach Tenney plans to start Candy Spots games will be released over park. Fireworks will include rock ets dropping parachutes containing toy animals. Many of the expectec 33,000 patrons will find variou prizes under their seats. Finley finally obtained America League permission Sunday to pu white sleeve numbers on the nev all except pitchers I'm delighted," he said.

"I'v been crying about this for tw weeks and I have an idea the league officials got tired of it. told the fireworks people to double the deal." Most of the game fireworks, however, likely will be wippllcil Yankee sluggers such as Roger Marls and Mickey Mantle. Marls, shortstop Tony Kubek, third baseman Clete Boyer and outfielder Tommy Tresh -have been hampered by various Injuries. New York has a new first baseman, Joe Pepitone, but otherwise the lineup will be similar that which won the 1962 championship. Kansas City's lineup will be much the same as its 1962 ninth-place club, except for catcher Bill Bryan and outfielder Chuck Essegian, a good spring hitter.

Probable starting lineups: Herb Score Is Calling It Quits Herb Score, frustrated in a six- year comeback try, has called it a career at an age when most pitchers are just hitting their stride. Score, once considered a million dollar baseball property, said he was giving up the game after he was notified by the Chicago White Sox Sunday that he was being optioned to Indianapolis. "I have talked it over with my wife," the 29-year-old lefty said, and I have decided to quit the Score, who twice led the American League in strikeouts, worked two scoreless innings in Chicago's 2-1 exhibition victory over Cincin nati, but manager Al Lopez said he was being optioned out to give him more work than he could get with the parent club. Score, a tall, fast-ball artist with a whip-lash delivery, was named American League Rookie of he Year after a 16-10 season in 955 with Cleveland. He soared 20-9 in 1956 and the Indians urned down a million dollar offer rom Boston for him.

Then, in 1957, he was struck FHS Relays Set For Wednesday Turnout To Date Pleases Officials A large turnout is assured for the 28th running of the Fort Hays Relays at Lewis Field Stadium Wednesday afternoon. As of this morning, entries had been received from 56 high schools in Western and Central Kansas. Entered at that time were 45 Class schools and 11 Class A over the eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald of the Yan- teams. Athletic Director Paul B. Gross said more entries are expected today and tomorrow, with the total possibly going as high as 70 schools by the' time the meet begins at 9 a.m.

Wednesday. The turnout is pleasing to Fort Hays State officials. They had feared that moving the event from the weekend to the midweek date would reduce the number of entries considerably. But the total may go as high as last year, when 70 schools and nearly 700 prep track men participated. Included in the entries thus far are both defending champions, Wa- in Class A and Palco in Class B.

Also in the fold are Hays Hish School nnd Russell, both out of the meet last year when they were Kansas City Howser-ss Cimoli-rf Luinpe-2b Siebern-lb Charles-3b Essegian-lf Tartabull-cf Bryan-c Segui-p-8-5 kees. He recovered from the injury, but never regained his pitching form. In six years of frustrations as he attempted a comeback, he did not have a winning season in the ma jors. He was in the minors most last season. SKY-RIDING FRESHMAN Bob Schmidt established a new Fort Hays State high jump record at the Texas Relays Saturday, clearing 6-7 to win the freshman division event.

The former Ellis High star won at 6-4 and then cleared 6-7. He barely missed while attempting 6-9. The old school record was 6-41 by John Hudson tftree years ago. West Over Fast In Annual Shrine Basketball Game Kansas City, April America Jerry Harkness of Chicago Loyola, in the unusual job of a substitute, led the West All- Stars over the East in the 12th annual Shrine basketball Sunday with some uncanny passing and ball-hawking. The West finished on top 82-79 after leading by 20 points and the 8-foot-3 Harkness, an agile left- hander, was named Most Valuable Player.

Harkness missed both Saturday practice sessions, because he was detained in Chicago by examinations, and didn't start the gams. By half time, the West was in front by 16, 48-32, and the lead went to 20 points before the East rallied on the shooting of Tom Thacker of Cincinnati, Nate Thurmond of Bowling Green and Jimmy Rayl of Indiana. Harkness scored 14 points and fed teammates for several baskets. The West also was given a big A '500' Hopeful Killed In Race Langhorne, April A young race car driver, hoping for his first crack at the rich Indianapolis 500 this year, was killed Sunday when his car flipped and burst into flames during a race at the Langhorne Speedway.

The driver killed Sunday was Bobby Marvin, 24, Columbus, Ohio, a veteran of four years racing', mostly in the Midwest.
