 Out ..444-4 5 A 4-35 | In .445-4 5 4-3 4-36-71 | Gene Sarazen of New York re- mained a consistent player by scor- ing a 75, for an aggregate of 225 five strokes behind Jurado. Sarazen has yet to score an exceptional round. He had a "A in his first tour, and 76 in his second.
 BrainstormS! | Henry Cotton, young British pro. who often loses his temper at his own poor playing, became angry to- day over the 79 he scored in the third round. When yesterdays sec ond round was complete, Cotton was tied for the lead with Jurado. To- day ehe had a 3S going out, which wasn't so bad, but the Al he scored coming home caused him to lose his temper. Several times on the in- coming nine he slammed down his clubs after a poor shot. He kicked the ball on two greens after having taken more butts than he thought he should, and on the 18th green he kicked his bag of clubs. Horton Smith of Cragston, N. Y., one of the re-tournament favorites
  expectations, scored 75, three strokes over par, in the third round of the British open golf champion hsip here to-day. This gave him an aggregate of 231 and only series of golfing miracles could place Smith near the top of the list when the fourth round is completed this after noon.
