throughout the last two rounds to
score 285 for the 72-holes, five below

The high wind which swept the
lengthy City Park No. course dur
ing the tournament did not seem to
bother Byrd as much as it did the
other pros. His 285 was three under
par for the four rounds.
Nelson's 290, two over par, earned
him $3.50 in War Bonds. Harold
jug" McSpaden, the early pace Set
