Except for the formality of playing
an 1S-hole round of golf tomorrow,
Sam Byrd OF Detroit was all set

at the end of 50 holes in the 1850

and with him in his present putting
groove, no one is going to catch
him in the short stretch drive.
Sam sloshed around the Torres
dale-Rankford 71-par layout today
in SO strokes, despite a rainstorm
which threatened to wash out the
third round of the event. T h t
round, second best of the day, gave
him 202 for 81 holes, or II under
par for the route.

N. Y, skidded to 70 today fir ,m
his sensational &c of yesterday, b 1t
clung to second place with 209. The

Deadlocked in third place with

Toledo, Ohio, who romped in with
a SO today, and Sergt. E. J.Dutch>
Harrison of the army and Little
