 Los Angeles, Jan. 6.-(UP)-A year ago today one Sam Snead was looked upon by the golfing frater- nity as little more than a hill-billy freak. It was generally believed that Samuel and his tremendous drives wouldn't last and that he soon would go rolling back into the faStnesses of his West Virginia hills with more speed than he showed in rolling out of them.
 Today, on the eve of the Los An geles open tournament, one of the most important fixtures of the an- nual swing, Sam Snead is looked upon with awe by the greatest players of the game, and many of them concede him more than an even chance of becoming the great est golfer who ever lived.
 No player in history, not even Jones or Hagen or Sarazen, ever increased in stature in a twelve month more than Snead, the one time rural soda jerker. In one year he came from the environs of mo- where to a place as golf's most ar resting figure. The answer is un-

BUSY SEASON OF. BOXING BEGINS
 TOMORROW EVE.
Steele Favored in Over- weight Bout -Ambers
 Key Man
BY HENRY SUPER
nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, January 6. = (Up) - One of the busiest boxing seasons in years - it may be the greatest Of all time - gets of ito a flying start tomorrow night when Freddie Steele, the middleweight champion, meets the No. 1 challenger. Fred Apostoli of San Francisco, in a non-title fight at Madison Square Garden.
 As expected, the greatest activity of 1888 will be among the heavy weights - action certain to stimu- late most of the other weight di- visions. The only divisions likely to be inactive are the flyweight and featherweight.
 In two classes - lightweight and featherweight - the reigning cham pions may go out of their classes in search of additional titles.
 Here's how the various divisions stack up:
 Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis risks his title February 23 in New York against Nathan Mann of New Haven in the first of three so-called tuneup fights in prepara- tion for his defense against Max Schmeling in June. Louis other two warm-ups probably will be io Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago or Cal ifornia.
 Schmeling takes on Ben Foord of South Africa in Germany on Janu- uary 30 and ten returns to this country for another tune-up, prob ably in March. On January B in New York, former champion, Jimmy Braddock, fights Tommy Farr of Wales. The winner probably will fight Maxie Baer with the possibility of becoming the No. 2 challenger after Schmeling.
 Light-heavyweight - Outlook is uncertain because champion John Henry Lewis is far out in front of the field, best of which includes Tiger Fox and Unknown Winston.
 Middleweight - Steele is the fav- orite for Friday nights fight at odds of 8-to-5. Regardless of the out come, it is certain this pair will be matched for summer title fight. Crowding into the challenging spot are Glen Lee, Solly Krieger and Ben Brown.
 Welterweight - Barney Ross Is the reigning champion and is clamoring for work. His outstand- ing challenger is Ceferino Garcia of Manila.
 Lightweight - Lou Ambers, the champion, is the key-man in bar gaining which may result in title fights involving the welterweight, lightweight and featherweight di- visions. Ambers is talking about fighting Ross for the welterweight crown and negotiations for such a battle have been opened. Meanwhile, Henry Armstrong, the featherweight champion, is clamoring for a shot at Ambers.
 Featherweight - Armstrong IS so far out in front of his division that it seems improbable that a worthy challenger can be found during 1858.
 Bantamweight Champion Harry Jeffra risks his title February 20 in Puerto Rico against former champion Sixto Escobar.
 Flyweight - Dullest of all dlVls- ions. Champion is Benny Lynch ot Scotland who won the title abroad. Little chance of his invading the United States.

Tilden Greatest, Then Comes Each Other, Net
 Stars List Shows

Beverly Hills, Cal, Jan. 6-(UP' .-J. Donald Budge, world amateur tennis king and the nominee of many critics as potentially the greatest player in history, was list ed fifth and sixth today in Els worth Vines and Fred Perry's rank ings of the 10 top players of the past two decades.
 The dynamic red head, winner of all three Wimbledon titles last year. was placed down the line not be- cause of lack of ability, the two professionals explained, but because he hasn't had the years of com- petition in which to run up the distinguished records held by the men placed above him.
 The Perry-Vines list was dated from 1920. All men were ranked on two points: Their records and their actual playing abilities.
 Each considered William T. Tilden II as the most brilliant player of all time.
