SPORTS PARADE
Bv HENRY McLEMORE

month more than Snead the one
time rural soda jerker. In one year
he came from the environs of no.
where to a place as COLTS most
arresting figure. The answer is
unbelievable power and unbeliev-
! able control of the same. From
| tournament to tournament he
marched, getting home with drive
| and five iron on holes that nearly
all of his rivals had to play two
woods. Sam wasn't the first of the
super hitters, but he was the first
super hitter who could place his
Big Bertha shots where he wanted
them.
The great progress he has made
in year is reflected in the bet
ting odds for the Los Angeles open
that starts tomorrow over the Grif-
nth Park course. The bookmaking
gentry has installed Sam and Har-
ry Cooper as favorites, and when
you get coupled with Cooper you
are coupled with the most consis-
tent shotmaker and scorer of them
all
Snead is liked above Horton
Smith, Johnny Revolta, Henry Pic
ard, Byron Nelson, and Jimmy
Hines - men he hardly knew
year ago.
But for Cooper, Snead would
stand out in the Los Angeles field
like what the Hungarians so deftly
term La thumb sore" But no.
body stands out above Lighthouse
Harry the Chicago wizard. Today
through the mails I received a
sheet of figures from Freddie Cor
coran, tournament manager for the
P.G.A. The figures we're an anal
ysis of the leading professional
scorers in 1887
And what do you think Cooper's
average was? Just a sloppy 7l58
for 78 rounds in 26 tournaments.
That's ADJUST a fraction better
than even fours in tournaments in
which he encountered slow greens,
last greens, rain, blistering heat,
baked falrWays, cold, and snow. A
study of those figures must have
been a shock to Harry. I mean it
must make a man wonder what
sort OF business he is in when he
shoots better than perfect golf
and yet winds up without winning
. national title. Cooper has yet to
preaK through in the open or
fGA tournaments. Something al
ways happens to balk his bid, such
as Tony Maneros magnificent final
round at Baltusrol two years ago
"a round achived after Harry had
accepted congratulations on what
seemed a winning score
Harry has nothing on Snead.
though Snead fired a 283 in the
open last year, which was a score
good enough to win all but one
OF the opens i'm history. Yet he had
to be content with second money
when Ralph Guldahl, the automo-
bile salesman came in with 281.

lege reserves, 23-16, in a prelimin-
ary game. 1t was the first defeat
of the season for the J. c. scrubs.
Horace Olwell, bespectacled cage
shark from Berkeley, led the Bears
to victory with brilliant passing
and timely shooting Though he
made only five points, it was his
four diigits near the end of the first
half that gave the Berkeley five
a 23-19 lead at the intermission.
Olwell was particularly outstand-
ing as a ball handler. Consistently
he passed the ball to a team mate
for set shot under the basket.
And he broke up Arab plays with
alarming regularity.
The junior collegians played their
best ball of the season and made
battle of it in the first half. The
game was a point for point fight
in the first period and it was not
until Olwell swished two successive
baskets through the hoop, that the
Bears were able to take a long
lead.
In the second half the Bear de-
fense tightened and the jaycees were
limited to four points while the
collegians iced the game with IA
markers.
Ross Blakeley, ThurSton Cross
land, Edwards and Robinson played
good ball for the Arabs and made
fine showing against the vaunted
invaders.
Christy Plemons, Jack Kirkpat-
ric, Glen Poole combined to give
the high school victory over the
jaycee reserves. The Spartans
handled the ball with the smooth
ness of a machine and sunk the
ball when they got within range
The junior college scrubs could
MT get under way in any part of
the game and were beaten from
the start. Plemons and Kirkpatrick
paced the scorers with eight and
seven points respectively.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6. UP)-
A year ago today one Sam Snead
was looked upon by the golfing
fraternity as little more than a
Hillbilly freak. 1t 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
Angeles open tournament, one of
the most important fixtures of the
annual 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 statue in a twelve

Wines was the pro champion dur
ing that same period. Vines and
Perry met in more than one hun
dred matches last season and when

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal. Jan. 6.

world amateur tennis king. and the
nominee of many critics as poten-
italy the greatest player in world
history, today was listed only fifth
and sixth in Ellsworth Vines and
Fred Perry's rankings 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 any lack of ability. the
two professionals explained. but
because he hasn't had the years of
competition in which to run up the
distinguished records held by the
men placed above him.
The Perry Vines list was dated
from 1920. the start of the modern
tennis era, and approximately the
date challenge rounds were elimi-
mated in the Wimbledon and Forest
Hills championships. All men were
ranked on two points: their records
and their actual playing abilities.
Each considered William T. Tilden
II as unquestionably the most bril-
liant player of all time Tilden
reigned for more than a decade, and
possessed a sound, smashing game
in addition to a solid array of
strokes. Big Bills most persistent
rival William M. little Bib john
ston, was ranked third, because he
WAS unfortunate in arriving on the
International scene when Tilden was
IN his prime. Vines placed Perry
second, and Perry returned the ges-
ture, placing Vines second on his

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO, Jan. up Wheat
futures prices gained two to three
cents a bushel today on the Chi
cago board of trade. Higher trends
in foreign markets coupled with
continued war talk ond expecta-
tions for increased export demand
spurred buying.
At the close wheat was ppm
cents higher, corn 4 cent lower to
ss cent higher. and oats 4 cent
lower to ss cent higher.
Prices opened with small gains
and losses about evenly divided
with cash interests on the buying
side. Prices did not reflect early
weakness at Liverpool and offer
ings were easily absorbed.
Corn followed wheat and made
small gains. The market was un-
changed to lower at the start with
commission houses selling. Posi-
bility of increased consumption Of
corn abroad as a result Of cold
weather induced a little buying
here.

SHOCKED BY WIRE,
BOY FALLS 30 FEET
Carlisle Dunn, Ia, Has Narrow
Escape From Electrocution
After Climbing Pole.

Carlisle Dunn. IA. of 1920 North
Capitol street, narrowly escaped elec-
trocution yesterday afternoon when he
touched q hot" wire carrying the
overhead power for the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
The youth had climbed to the ton
of pole along the tracks east Of the
Anacostia River when he received q
sudden shock and fell 80 feet to the
ground.
At Sibley Hospital. where he was
taken by an employe of a nearby brick
company, he told authorities he
thought he had been shot.
He was treated for lacerations OF
the scalp and burn on the abdomen.
and although his condition was termed
satisfactory, he was kept under OBJ
servation.
Three playmates who accompanied
him told police they had been fishing
while he went to climb the pole and
had not seen him fall.
