LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-Once
again Jimmy Thomson's long range
golf shots dominated the annual
Los Angeles open, but the bland
slugger from Chicopee, Mass, was
hard pressed to annex his second
championship and the top prize OF
the $4,000 purse as the field pressed
closely behind going into the last
round of the event today.
Thomson moved into the final 18
holes with a total score of 211. No
less than seven top ranking rivals
were within four strokes of his
skimpy lead. He had a par II yes
terday.
The nearest, one stroke behind
was Chicagos Johnny Bulla, who
took the lead after the second round
and surrendered it yesterday
through the combination of none
too-good round and a two-stroke
penalty imposed when he played
jug McSpaden's ball instead of his
own on the first hole.
Bulla wound up with 70 for 212
and none too happily said he die
not want to discuss the incident
further. McSpaden. whose othel
partner in a threesome was Byron
Nelson. declared he knew nothing
about the mistake until it was over,

Gibby not only caught $50

Capitals Links Are Well Filled,
Despite Cold Blasts; Changes
Planned at Burning Tree

Cold weather suddenly descended
on Washington after a stretch Of
warm weather. 1t came quickly out
of the Northwest, blown on the
wings of half a gale. Did it stop
the golfers? Not on your mashie.
They turned out just as usual on
one of the coldest Sundays of the
winter so far. OF course if you look
for any low scores you won't find
'em, for low scores aren't made in
cold weather.
More than a score turned out for
the breakfast foursomes at Burning
Tree. where quite a segment of
Washington off1cialdom plays. At
Chevy Chase, where the Breakfast
Club members claim they are the
original course stormers. 10 turned
out at am and played 18 holes
against big wind, in temperature
that zoomed down around 25. Other
clubs reported heavy play.
William P Knudsen, who happens
to be very much in the news now
adays, and Col. Frank P. Knox, Sec
retary of the Navy, were among the
men who turned out for the Break
fast Club foursomes at Burning
Tree. Others included Senator Mil
lard Tydings of Maryland, John S.
Brooks, John E. Mcclure, John
Fahey, Vincent Saccardi, A. H. Paul,
Frank R. Jelleff, Burke Summers,

Miss Marble, who spent last winter
singing in a Manhattan night spot,
hasn't been beaten since 1888 at
Wimbledon and won the national
title at Forest Hills last summer
without the loss of a set.
She will play against little Mary
Hardwick, ranking No. / woman
player of England, who has been
a refugee here since coming over to
play in the Wightman Cup matches

of the war.
Miss HardWick isn't likely to beat

show the fans some good form and
Alice expects to reap some s50,000

Tilden Still Able to Perform.
With the girls will be Don Bulge
and Bill Tilden, who also aren't
much of competitive lure, but rate

at At, still is vigorous athlete and
capable of some fine play for few
sets, but Bulge is right at the peak

In addition to their singles
matches, Tilden and Miss Marble
will pair against Bulge and Miss
HardWick in mixed doubles.
