MACFEELY JACKSONVILLE #® — Young Jack Burke today needs a lot of subpar golf to keep his victory string intact in the Jacksonville Open. Burke was far off the form that won him four straight PGA tourna- ments and going into the second round was six strokes back of two tournament - wise veterans. Lew Worsham and Pete Cooper, who shot 66 each Friday to grab the lead. Besides this pair Burke has to contend with 24 other par busters and 11 who matched his even par 72 in the opening round over the 6-508-yard Hyde Park Course. Cooper, professional at nearby Ponte Vedra Beach until a year -}ago when he moved to White Piains, N. Y., stayed out of trouble most of the way. He dropped two putts of nearly 20 feet to more than make up for the loss of @ on the fourth hole. Lastres came within one out f hurling a ‘no-hitter, but John managed to get hold of an outside pitch to send it past the outstretched hand of Harold m, in the seventh frame. Bruce Ennis, Homestead’s Ee only gave up two hits, jut his wildness in spots. and a ®atcher that couid not hold him, was what gave Key West their runs. “The fielding star of the game ‘was Gilbert Gates.

Any fishing vessel suspected of the Coast Guard, says Pearson. TAMPA (® —Tampa’s shrimp fleet planned to return to normal operations in Mexican waters after being notified today that a Coast Guard cutter would patrol the trou- ble zone. Mexican gunboats seized fcar Florida shrimp boats near Cam- peche last Sunday on charges they were fishing in Mexican waters. They were released Thursday, Mexican authorities they were satisfied the boats were near shore because of bad weather and not to fish. Some shrimp boat operators had sent their vessels back tc the Cam- Peche banks despite the seizure. Others said they would remain in port until guaranteed protection by the U. S. government. The Coast Guard at St. Peters- burg notified the operators today based at Galveston, Tex., was en route to vatrol the Campeche area. “Efforts will ‘be made to pro- vide continuous ‘patrol’, the Coast | Guard said.’ : ; Tt 'is against the''law for any commercial vessel 'to “be - armed, unless it “has the proper authdri The Coast Guard'‘has received complaints from’ time to time about interference of Mexican gunboats in the fishing for shrimp near Mexican waters, but in each instant, the trouble has been settled amicably, explained Pearson. The Coast Guard cannot tell the shrimpers where to fish, only the state department could is- sue an order for the boats to stay away from the Campeche area. ss Coast Guard vessels from the Eighth Coast Guard District in the Gulf patrol this area at all times, said Pearson, but not to protect the fisherman against the interference of Mexican gun- boats, but merely to protect them the Symonette shipyard in Nassau. from the elements.
