SWAN COLLECTS
TWO WAYS ON
DAILY DOUBLE

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. II
CUP)- DR.. H. w. Swan boasted
today that he probably was the
l.lckiest man who ever bet on a
horse race. He picked three horses
in two daily double combinations
at the New Orleans fair grounds
track. and because of a dead heat
in the third race, yesterday, all
three of his horses won.
The doctors payoff was S48.60 or
one 50 combination and $13420
on the other.
He picked Transen in the Sec
ond fair grounds race as his KEY
horse. The object was to pick the
winners of the second and third
races, to complete the daily dou-
bic. He liked both Equanimity and
Joe Jay in the third race. Anybody
knew that only one horse could
win, but DR.. Swan could not de-
eide which Of his two preferences
it might be.
So he bought one ticket pairing
Transen and Equanimity; another
pairing Transen and Joe Jay Equ-
animity and Joe Jay reached the
finish line nose to nose, and ae-
cording to the rules, both were
declared winners.

'TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
8v HENRY, McLEMORF

LOS ANGELES, Jan. II. CUP)-
The time has come when four
rounds of,par golf will earn pro-
fessional player no more than $40.
We knjw this. because yesterday
at the close of the 72-hole Los
Angeles open those players who
finished with score of 284 were
handed !checks for exactly that
amount
This Isl hard to believe. I know, be-
cause il was not quite a decade
ago THAI Robert Tyre Jones, the
Atlanta iAtlas, established himself
as the s}per golfer by always shoot
ing parj AS I remember it, Jones
was hertlded far and wide as the
man who didn't play his oppo-
nent. but who played par.
Well, vi Jones still were playing
golf, aid still playing par. and
depended on the money he won for
a liying} his address would either
be the toor house or a house SO
close to} the poor house that he
could borrow sugar and salt with
out stepping off his porch.
Par's \ joke these days. Jimmy
Thomsontwon the Los Angeles open
with an aggregate of 273-a score
that was txactly IS strokes better
than even Yours. Not so many years
ago such score would have been
flashed around the world as a
sports feat comparable to a man
running the 700 in seven seconds
flat, pole Waiting 20 feet. But
Jimmy's 273 didn't create any great
to-do. 1t didn't fstablish any rec
ords. 1t was only a year ago, in
the open tournahent at Sacramen-
to, that Ed Dudley, the sweet
swinging pro from Philadelphia,
turned in a 273. And Eds 273 was
a much more remarkable 273 than
The latter scored his
under perfect weather conditions,
and over a course that was blood
brother to easy Dudley fired his

Central Hi
to
Vikings

Ell Centre high school basketball
team will continue its efforts to
displace Brawley high as league
champion Friday afternoon when
the Spartans invade Holtville to
play the Vikings in the second
loop game.
The first game, between the C
teams of The two schools, will
start at $50.
The Viking varsity should not
provide much competition for the
smoother working El Centre quin-
tet but the C team may be able
to upset the Central Eighties on the
dirt court.
Holtville has the strongest G
team in recent years and on the
dirt court the Vikings will rate S
the favorites.
Brawley high school clashes with
a strong CaleXico high team in a
game that will have bearing on
the ultimate standings. The game
will be played in the Brawley gym
nasium Thursday night.
Calipatria and Imperial, favored
to finish at the bottom of the
league. will clash in the other loop
contest. Calipatria is favored in
the varsity game, Imperial in the

Thomson Wins

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL. (UP)-
Chunky Jimmie Thomson, the
longest drive in golf. swept to his
first major tournament victory Mon
day when he blazed the final 18
holes of the $500 Los Angeles
open in 68.
The par-shattering round gave
him scores of 65-66-74-68 for an
aggregate 273, a new tournament
record
A perennial runner-up because his
work on the greens could not COM
pare with his booming wood shots,
the blond Pennsylvania professional

with a second hand putter he pick
ed out of junk shop for a dollar.
Second in the 1885 National open.
the 1886 PGA championships and
the 1887 Miami Biltmore open.
Thomson was carried into first
place of the Los Angeles event by
the impetus of two sub-par rounds
during the first two days, when he
established a new PGA record OF
13l strokes for SO holes of tourna-
ment play.

Once he started hitting his shots
he couldn't miss, because when
Jimmy is really in stride most
holes become just drive and

I was talking to him after his
