NSNtAANASAANy
 Miami, Fla, Dec. IT - (UP) - Harold (Jug) McSpadden, pipe pff- ing pro from Winchester, Mass, had a chance to double his 1888 win nings as he began his third round today four strokes ahead of the field in the Miami open golf champion ship.
 The 29-year-old, sandyehaired customer, never has been a big money winner, but this season has been one of his worst, crossing but $2,390 to date.& His only victories New England P. G.. A. Now he has an excellent opportunity to take the $2,500 top prize in this $l0,000 event.
 McSpadden, who fired a four un- der par 66 in the opening round, double-crossed the bookies who took him lightly, by sohoting 69 for 8 1855 total yesterday. He was the only player in the field of 200 who man. aged to put two sub-par rounds to- gether, and the price-makerS who quoted him at 16-1 before play be- gan, then dropped him to 12-1 after the first 18-holes, announced today we've got all we want on him."
 Moving Up
 Jimmy Thomson, blond plaster from Shawnee ee-on-Delaware, Pa, another pre-tourney 18-1 shot, ham mered the odds against himself down to Al when he followed his opening 68 with 8 Fl yesterday to take undisputed possession of sec- ond place with 139.
 Defending champion Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, was stiA given 8 chance although eight strokes back at 143. After an ingloriouS first round 76, the slam mer got back on his game yester- day to rearrange those figures into a three under par 67, the best of the second round scores.
 Remembering his pair of 64's in the last two rounds of last years Miami open, the bookies refused to give any better price than 6-1-the same odds they quoted on Henry Picard, Hrshey, Pa, and Mike Tur- mesa, New York, who stood at TAO; Johnny Revolta and Johnny Bulla of Chicago and Jimmy Hines and Craig Wood of New York, who were at Al; and aNtional open cham pion Ralph Guldahl with 142.
 The field was narrowed down to 87 professionals, who scored 152 or hole rounds today and tomorrow. less( and Is amateurs for final 18 Such name" players as Vice Ghezzi Byron Nelson, Joe Turnesa, Tom Creavy and Al Kreuger, failed to qualify. The amateurs were led by Bob Servis, of Dayton, O., who had 149.

 WeIIeS Sink Hearts

 Fisher and LaPointe were the St. Ann's best scoring bets, while the entire team played 8 magnificent defensive game.
