Toledo Star Blasts
Oakland Links for
4 Subpar Rounds
Gets 274 to Top Dawson.
An Amateur, 5 Strokes,
Collect S., 900 Prize
By RUSSELL NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

OAKLAND, Calf, Jan. l9.-He
took 10 years to do it, but Byron Mel
son finally won a California golf
tournament.
The shot specialist from Toledo,
Ohio, had acknowledged the plaudits
given q national open and P. G. A.
champion, but for the first time
since he turned professional in 1882
he came up yesterday with the major
prize in a California tournament.
He won the 72-hole Oakland Open
with a ar-battering 274. There
wasn't the shadow of doubt as to
who the best man was this time.
Nelson led from start to finish.
After a 3 under par in the open
ing round, a stroke better than any
rival, he added three successive Cos
to finish five shots ahead of the
field The only other player to
subdue par 35-35-70 for the Sc
quoyah course over the four rounds
was an amateur, John Dawson of
Hollywood. who turned out
neat 279.
Nelson Pockets $1,000.
Dawson, of course, could not par
ticipate in the money awards, such
as Nelson, who pocketed 81 900. Daw-
son received a Defense Bond for his
/. efforts.
Except for a few errors in the last
nine holes of the tournament, Mel
son played some of the finest golf
Of his spectacular career. He hit
the ball squarely on the nose and
down the fairways most of the time.
When within sight Of his goal he
tailed off a bit to 3-putt the 10th
and 18th greens, in addition to
missing a 4-foOt putt on the 18th.
Definitely at the peak of his game,
Nelson will be one Of the hot
favorites in the San Francisco 72-
hole open starting next Thursday.
Trailing Nelson in the money win
ming division were Lawson Little,
San Francisco. and Chandler Harper,
portsmouth, va, Cled at ZoU. Eacn
collected $3.50.
Hogan in Fifth-Place Tie.
Stroke behind were the pre-
tournament favorite. Ben Hogan of
Hershey, Pa; Lloyd Mangrum Of
Monterey Park, Calf, and Willie
Goggin. white Plains, N. Y. They
deadlocked at 281 and each received
$375.
The toughest blow Of all landed on
Leonard Dodson of Kansas City. Mo.
He won the tournament year ago
in a playoff with E. j. Harrison Of
Little Rock, Ark, and Hogan, and
failed this time, to land among the
money winners. He totaled 291 for
the four rounds.
Two holes In one we're scored, one
by Marion Heifner of Palo Alto,
Calf, on the 142-yard fifth hole and
the other by Glen Holden, Oakland,
who hit brassie shot for an ace on
the 205-yard 18th.
