BY SANDY McNIBLICK

Pinehurst, N. c.. March 3O.-Ihey
are using voodoo combination to preaS
up the hoodoo triple tie here today IN
the final thirty six holes for the open
golf championship Of the North ara

this:
The two smallest men in the tourna .
ment teed off together, the two tattest
pros. paired and the two tallest went
to it together.
A chuckle rippled through the huge
gallery at the starting tee when hrst
Freddy Mcleod and then Louie Teller
swatted lusty tee shots down the alley'
Fred was one day our national cham, .,
pion. He was tied yesterday at the END
of the first thirty six holes with l4o

peted for this title.
O'Lourhlip, who halls from Jersey,
Is very. very rotund SO the fates decrced
that he should 60 off with Clarence
Hackney. the corn fed Atlantic City
brother of Jim and Bill. More laughter.
as this heavy and chunky duo waddled
out behind Teller and Mcleod, whose
diminutive forms every little dip or roll
in the fairway obliterated. Teller and
Mcleod Joined hands SO they wouldn I
lose each other.
Hackney stood tied this morning,
with Emmett French on their 147 cards
OF yesterday.

first waves in the assault on the cham
pionship today. French and Barnes
took all of the gallery with them: French
knows the style Of play perfectly as h
has been playing Southern Pines al
winter: near here. The golf required
there is very similar and besides tina
French is one Of our most gifted shots

The odds against Walter Hagen pile
up today. He trailed the three leader
by six strokes. The irrepressibl
champion put little sand on tn
tracks. however, by taking all bet
against him. He swung his club un
