Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 Los Anglese, Jan. 10 = (UPo = Once each year a new golfing star is born somewhere along the Cali fornia winter swing and today Los Angeles hailed dimpled Jim De- maret of Houston, Tex. as the man of 1889.
 Demaret himself wasn't on hand to receive plaudits for his smashing victory in the $5,000 Los Angeles open championship. He was heading north to Oakland where late this week he will attempt to parlay his $l, $50 first prize into another in the Oakland open. But the memory of his triumphy, and the manner in which it was achieved, won't be easily brushed away.
 The young professional from the Lone Star State rang up his victory the hard way. When all the rules said he should have played safe with his five stroke lead, he blazed over the windswpet fairways of Griffith Park in a par-Shattering 68 and finished the 72-hole tourna- ment with an aggregate 274. That score was Il stokes under par, seven ahead of his nearest rival, and only one about the tournament record established by Jimmy Thom- son of Shawnee, Pa, a year ago.
 Courageous
 With hundreds of dollars riding on each shot, Demaret went hunt ing for birdies. And he got them starting from the very first tee. He went on to sink putt of eight feet on the second green, one of 10 feet in the sixth, and one of 21 feet for an eagle two on the eighth. His last long one was the most spectacular = chip shot that rolled full 35 feet before dropping into the 18th cup.
 Just a little of the shine was taken from Demaret's feat by Har- old (Jug) MsSpaden, the rock-jaw- ed lad who captured the recent Miami Biltmore tournament. Mo- Spaden came down the final fair way tied with Thomson for second

Oakville, WatertoWn S-p-o-r-t-s
By Robert |. Palmer, Jr.

Oakville, Jan. S = The Dukes and KieSels clashed here last Thursday night not only lived up to but sur- passed all expectations. Even the most enthusiastic publicity agent could not have prophesied the nip and tuck dog fight that materialized with the Dukes edging their neigh borhood rivals by a 3l-29 score. But the score is history now, so let's poke around and get some of the inside dope.
 What was more important to the Blue and Gold than merely cop ping first round honors in the Town League was the fact that they also beat back the challenge of the only team which has chance of jeop- ardizing their position as the num- Der one team in Watertown or Oak vile. Had the Kiesels won, they certainly would have a sufficient claim to the top spot.
 Great Finish
 The KieSels set the pace for nearly two periods but never en- joyed more than a two point lead at anytime. The Dukes caught up be- fore intermission however and held a one point lead as the second half opened. They were not able to swell their lead to more than this lone point until with three minutes of play remaining they pulled away to a six point advantage. but were barely able to ward of determined last ditch rally by the losers.
 Ray Beauty proved to be the Shot in the arm" that the Dukes lacked in the first period and the diminutive forward tailed IA points on 2 field goals. Beauty's baskets were exceptionally telling because each came when things began to look dark for Lou Perce's club. Liakos and Burke also contributed brilliant floor games. Jazzy Jasi- lunas was outstanding for the losers.
 The largest crowd of the season, approximately 800 ardent rooters, packed the Wigwam to capacity and each club had its rooters. We are sure that all who saw the battle came away well satisfied with the playing of both teams.
 In the final offering, a stubborn Colonial squad btatled a favored Kelly Five on eevn terms only to lose out by the identical score of opening tile 31-29.

Standing O; Teams

There has been talk of the Dusty League extending the season for five (5) weeks along the following lines:
 The five (5) high teams to bowl against the five (O low teams, but to give handicaps according to team averages. This would be for five (5) weeks only and as the schedule now finishes too early, the season would end at about the right time. The above would have no bearing on the regular league as scheduled but would give the lower five (5) teams an even chance to win some prize money. The above would be voted on by all members and this vote may be called for by President John O'Connor in the near future.

The Newsboys, explained by Charlie Bannon, showed the best record for the round just finished and appear to be dangerous. The Milkmen who were on top at the end of the first round still hold that position and if some team doesn't take a fall out of them soon they will have commanding lead.
 Ray Lyman's Oilers are in second place, but if Ray neglects to oil them up little they will be. on the way out. r
 Bashful Ed Green had to leave early one night to get home to the new better half. The result was that his team and Joe Cronin's Milkmen finished the third game in tie. Up to date they have not found time to roll 1t of.
 The Hennessy's Greens occupy fourth place. They should get going and will be up with the leaders. Cousins is there in the ,pinch-al- ways coming through with mark when needed.
 Joe De Luca, of dancing feet, smokes more of the Hennessy's Greens since his team has started to skid.
 Motte, bowling the Milkmen last week came through with a spare and seven filler when needed.
 Joe Robinson's Noisers are mak- ing less noise than ever. Elmer (the great) Shove had better get after them.
 The battle of talk is on tonight between Charlie Bannon and George Daly. George claims Char lie talks too much and thereby George misses the pins.
 Joe Carolan has been laid up and the boys hope he will be back soon.

Comeback Fight for Both Battles Set for New
 Haven Arena

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 10-(UP) Mann, Hamden heavy weight, takes another step along the comeback trail when he faces Art Lasky, Los Angeles heavy, in g 10- round bout here tonight.
 Mann was knocked into slumber- land by Joe Louis and Tony Galen- to, and, since then, has been work ing his way back slowly to top flight rank.
 Lasky has been in temporary re- tirement because of an eye injury.
 Mann was the favorite, in some cases by as much as 3 to 1. Lasky, however, will have the reach and poundage on the Hamden fighter, and perhaps some experience.
 The under card:
 Sergeant Sammy Baker, Boston middleweight, meets Eddie Booker, San Francisco, 6. Eldridge Eat man, Norwalk light heavyweight, faces Irish Don Rooms, Los Angeles, 6; and two other bouts.
