The constants of the De Rujula, Georgi, Glashow phenomenological quark-quark potential are determined from the masses of the octet s-wave baryons. The calculation of the baryon masses is based on variational principles which lead to a 7% variation of the radial wave-function in a SU(3) multiplet. The variational principles lead to Schroedinger equations (different for different baryons) and their subsequent solutions. The constants so determined reproduce accurately the decuplet s-wave baryons' masses and the baryonic magnetic moments with only a small anomalous g factor. The r.m.s. radius of the proton given by the radial wave-function turns out to be rather small: approx. 0.3 FM. The present method gives the results: i) The mass-relations which can be derived in a broken SU(6) scheme are here displaced by 3 corresponding Hamiltonian-operator relations. The noncommutativity of these Hamiltonians implies that the baryonic masses are independent of each other. ii) Pairwise quark confinement leads to the same-type of confinement for the reduced mass of 3 quarks and originates from a central point in between them.
