NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-Harold

championship he blew" yesterday
in the $1,000 New Orleans Open golf
tournament-and his opponent in
the playoff is the games leading
performer, Byron Nelson Of Toledo,
Ohio.
Playing under the worst possible
weather conditions, the Sanford
(Me) hard luck" specialist, couldn't
buck the stiff wind, occasional
showers and heavy course and
turned in his first bad round of the
tournament. His final 18 holes cost
him 4 over par 38-38-76.
Nelson, trailing his gold dust
twin by five strokes at the end of
three rounds, wound up with 81
3E71, one under par, to make both
their scores 284.
McSpaden got in trouble on the
10Th hole yesterday and needed
three pars to win. He pushed his
second shot into trap and was in
the hole bogey S. He blew a 2-foot
putt on the 17th hole for another
bogey, but made great approach
for tying birdie 4 on the last hole.
The scheduled playoff today marks
the second such affair for McSpaden
and Nelson in the two years they
have been making the tournament
rounds together. The jug beat Mel
son in playoff at the Phoenix Open
in February, 1914.
The winner today gets 81 1888 .33 in
War Bonds (maturity value) and
the loser $933.33. Neither of the boys
has ever won a championship here.

goes in again with Johnny Finazzo
of Baltimore over a scheduled To-
round distance. In the last meeting
of the middleweights, the decision
was draw and it rated as one of
the best club brawls of the year
Bee Bee, a 21-year-cli Georgetown
Negro, is a boxer of exemplary living
habits and probably keeps in better
shape than any fighter to show
here. Many thought he could have
fought 20 rounds against Finazzo
last month and the odds today were
6 to that Double Bee would take
the rough Baltimore hooker tonight.
But the big appeal on the show
for the majority of fans is the ap-
pearance of both Frank Sweeney
and Joe Cannon on the same bill
for the first time. The Northeast
Irish kids, who fought their way up
through the AAU championships
last year to wind up with Sweeney
taking the National middleweight
title and Cannon the welter crown
in the Boston finals, are the most
popular boxers in town at the mo-
ment. Joe and Frank, just turned
l8, are Army-bound shortly, and
