set the pace today as diminished
field teed off in the third round OF
the 72-hole $4,000 Oakland open
golf tournament.
The long -geared man from Ar
kansas has a three-shot advantage
over his closest rival and the dis
tinction of having fired the best
round in competition to date.
He scored sparkling 66 over the
par 35-35-70 Sequoyah course
while forging to the front at the
halfway mark with a total of 1874.
A first round 68 had been over
looked in the rush of spectators to
follow the headliners.
Practically alone with his clubs
and playing partners, Harrison belt
ed the ball with mechanical pre-
cision. He erred twice to go over
par, once on the third hole where
he missed 3-foot putt after COM
ing out of a trap and again when
he used three puts to get down on
the 18th.
Birdie on 18th Meets Best.
He was off the fairway only once
on the 246-yard 14th-so to even
matters he Clipped the ball in from
40 feet out in the rough. 1t was
birdie 2. His 18-footer for birdie
4 on the 453-yard finishing hole
| topped the best performance Of the
day and the tournament thus far.
Not far back in the field of 81 pro-
fessionals and 18 amateurs was little

Plains, N. Y, with a two-round total

was strongly favored in some quar-

as he lay in Bellevue Hospital, un-
able to pay for his medical atten-

Besides these endeavors, he wrote

When in 1899 three New York gal
