  We have studied the three quark systems in an Effective Hamiltonian approach
in QCD. With only two parameters: the string tension sigma and the strong
coupling constant alpha_s we obtain a good description of the ground state
light and heavy baryons. The prediction of masses of the doubly heavy baryons
not discovered yet are also given. In particular, a mass of 3620 MeV for the
lightest (ccu) baryon is found by employing the hyperspherical formalism to the
three quark confining potential with the string junction.
