BRADY AND HUTCHINSON In
LEAD IN WESTERN TOURNEY

Oakland Hills Country Club, Birm-
ingham, Mich, Aug. 25.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-The western open
golf tournament went into the final
round today with the title apparently
resting between Mike Brady, Oakland
Hills professional, and Jock Hutchi-
son, of Chicago. Only a complete re-
versal of form or an unusual sput by
other low scorers, it was believed,
could cause displacement of the
leaders.
Brady started today's play with a
total of 141 for the So qualifying holes
and Jock was trailing with 145. Dave
Robertson, Detroit, and John Farrell
Mamaroneck, came next with totals
of 14S. The latter two and Laurie
Ayton, of Chicago, who was n1nt
strokes behind Brady, were the only
contenders conceded any change at
the title. Brady, according to Hutchi-
son had the championship lin his hip
pocket" when he came in yesterday
with 50, three under par, for his
second Is holes, but the jovial Scot
fastened to explain that his state
ment was not to betaken as a con-
cession.
Mike refused to predict the out
come.
