worse, to US they heroes. They were not

all human nature
For seven long years they strove for libery-seven

offset by their courage, their willingness to sacrifice
and sublime belief in the Righteousness of a cause

and justice and declaring that all men are equal We
who ENJOY the fruits of their sacrifice, should never
loose sight of the ideals which were theirs

BIG TOURNAMENT
Los Angeles Open Contest
Attracts the Cream of
Players in Country.
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-Aspir-
ants for places among the starters
i'll the west s greatest golf spectacle
the $4,000 Los Angeles open, played
qualifying rounds over six Southern
California coures today.
Thirty five players, the cream of
the country's professional and anna
teur golfers, were qualified by per
formances IN the last national or
Los Angeles open and did not en-
gage in today's play. All foreign
stars, with the exception of Canad-
ians, were also automatically quail
fled.
Some so of those who teed off this
morning in the sc hole round won
entrance to the tournament proper
which starts over the beautiful FL
Caballero course Friday.
While the less fortunates were
fighting for entrance privileges
George Won Elm, national amateur
champion, Harry Cooper, winner of
last years Los Angeles open, George
Duncan, English pro, and other in
ternational golf figures, played tun-
ing up rounds for the tournament
opening Friday.
Among the others who are sure
to start Friday are: Tommy Ar
mour, Mike Brady, John Black, Nc
Donald Smith, Leo Diegel, Willie
Hunter, Joe Kirkwood, Joe Turncsa
and Al Watrous.
Three Favorites
George Won Elm, who took the
amateur crown from Bobby Jones
and "Cold Nerve Harry Cooper
were shooting excellent golf and
were early favorites to win the
midwinter tournament.
George Duncan, one of Great Brit
ain s foremost exponents of golf,
apparently recovered from the poor
form which kept him from qualify
ing in the recent Long Beach open,
was making shots with his usual ac-
curacy.
Tommy Armour, of the Congress
ional Country club, Washington, d.
c., because of his par-shattering
rounds in the Long Beach tourney,
is another installed as favorite
to win the rich Los Angeles stake.
Armour broke par twice and
cquaIcd it once at the Virginia
Country club to win the Long
Beach competition.
Eighteen holes will be played Fri
day and eighteen on Saturday. The
low Gas and ties will enter the final
36 holes Sunday. The medalist for
the 70 holes will receive the major
prize.
The FL Naballero course, rated as
one of the best in the country and
the most difficult III the west, is IN
tophole condition. The fairways
are hard and the greens fast.
