can get live minnows or frogs, and
then it is not easy to get the minnow
on the line so that he will stay there

But still there's something to be

Helen Jacobs plays defensive

threshold of her second Southern

barring the way was a veteran cam

Their match was over the 36-hole

Miss Jameson has played the stead

won her first two matches by Z and 6

yesterday eliminated a veteran cam

Ghezzi whacked the ball around Bal

2S4 or Better to Win.

IF THE boys keep on doing what
they have been doing, it's going to
take 284 or better to win this cham
pionship. In every way you can fig
ure, it is the most wide open title
tourney that ever has been played for
the national open crown. There are
at least 20 fellows in there today who
can shoot into the lead with a couple
Of fine rounds and grab the bauble
which Parks dropped as he failed yes
terday to qualify for the final day of
play. Ghezzi and Mangrum are up in
the top spot with 140's, but one shot
back of them came such superlative
shot makers as Denny Shute, British
open champ of 1888: Henry Picard,
my choice to win Harry Cooper, the
guy who should have won years ago
and probably never will, and John
Revolta, the bushy-haired P. G. A.
champ from Milwaukee, who is no
softy in any company. And a shot
back OF them comes Tony Manero of
Greensboro, N. c., in his best spot ever
in this tournament
The amateur threat is a real one
this time, with Charlie Kocsis, the
blond boy from Detroit in there with
143, composed of a 70 and a II.
Walter Hagen isn't too far back at
146, nor is Gene Sarazen, his old
rival, at lat, in spot where couple
of rounds like he shot four years ago
at Fresh Meadow will win for him.
The whole thing is wide open, with
more than possibility that some guy
will come up from the depths with a
couple of good rounds and grab the
championship.
