When the Yankees make
■econd in the spring, can the
cellar be far behind?
#> Until very recently the cold,
methodical Yankees weren’t
known for making many mis
takes. They made a big one
•i Bunday, however, by downing
the Mets 1-0 and thus bringing
their record to 6-4, second-best
among American League teams
In exhibition play.
For years the Yanks were
pushed into the ground during
spring training only to get up
and run off with the American
League pennant. Last spring
they did better in Grapefruit
League play than at any time in
recent memory, finishing se
* cond among American League
teams, only to finish in the
cellar during the regular
season.

team with a better mark than
the New Yorkers last spring,

Jacksonville Open
To Sikes
By DAVID M. MOFFIT
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
—As it was in the beginning,
so it was at the end.
That was the story of . the
$100,000 Greater Jacksonville
°P en GoU Tournament. „ Dan _
Sikes > a 36-year-old lawyer
Paying on his home course,
grabbed the lead in the opening
round and never gave it up.
Sikes bo g e y e d the last two
holes Sunday but by then had
enough of an edge to win by
r “ si
ex Marine wno nearly naa s
80 f ” g career ended in a p ane
crash in , P anama several yea s
ag0 ‘
Gay Brewer, the runnerup a
year ago, and ... Jim Colbert „ were
just one more stroke back.
Sikes, 13-under after 45 holes,
struggled home with a 73 Sutl
day to Wind up 9-under-par at
279. That was enough to give
him the third victory of
a seven-year career and $20,
OOO-second only to the $25,000
he got for winning the Cleve
land Open in 1965 as his biggest
check.
Collins made his best showing
since that plane crash by firing
a 5-under-par 67 into Sunday’s
winds. He got $12,000 as a con
solatlon prize—the most he’s ev
er gotten al one time In
18 years on the tour.
“I knew I was home free
when I sank a 40-foot birdie
putt on No. 16,” Sikes said at
the end of his round. As for
those bogeys on the last 2
holes, Sikes said, “my mind
was 1,000 miles away. I was
