LOS ANGELES. Jan. 6.-R-
Battling high winds that saw scores
generally mount Sam Snead, de-
Tending champion, and Jim Fer
rier, Chicago, were tied for tenn

Los Angeles open golf tournament
today with three round totals OF
214.
Slammin' Sam from Hot
Springs. Va. and Ferrier both
carded 1875 on the par 35-36-71
Riviera course. Snead had a 1851
and Terrier a 1896. It was con-
sidered fair shooting in view OF
winds that swooped down the
canyon in which the course is laid
out.
snead actually should have been
the lone leader Of the field when
he turned in his score. He had
been credited with a u by the Of
fetal scorer. When the long hit
ting Virginian reported his round
score, he volunteered the fact he
had touched his ball with his club
on the ninth green. The scorer
had not noticed the violation.
Snead was the tournament leader
after the first round. He relin-
pushed the spot to tournament
favorite Byron Nelson yesterday
and the latter, with par So for
the first nine today indicated he
would be setting the pace again
when all the third round scores lad
been tackled up.
However, the back nine OF Rivi-
era, closer to the ocean and the
wind, was playing considerably
tougher than the outgoing stretch.
The best comeback among the
early starters was provided by
Harold McSpaden of Sanford, Me-,
who practically blew himself out
of competition with first nine
Al, six over par. His two-over par
Z on the first hole resulted from
a tee shot out of bounds and he
muffed the second hole, going one
over par.
On the difficult back nine, how
ever. he played Ike master
chalking up a two-under-par "a tor
a round Of rs and 54-hole total
of 21s. He drove the green on
the 315-yard tenth, getting a birdie
3, and posted a birdie on the
500 yard eleventh.

wealthy and for some years owned

tire.
Woolf was known as The Ice
man because Of cool-headeoness
when it came to race-riding, al
though he revealed hot temper
on occasion. He had such COM
pIete control Of his nerves that
he slept in the jockeys room
through preliminary races while
waiting to ride an important
event.
While bis winning percentage
Of 10 over a period Of 10 years is
not especially notable. he stepped
way up in the big ones, rated
with Eddie Arcaro as a money
rider. In all his mounts won
s2,85e, 1875. When jockeys were
betting on a horse in race in
which they were not riding, they
unhesitatingly picked Woolf to dc
the riding when he was free.
Wooh was a plainsman at heart,
rode in morning workouts with
a sombrero on his head.

George Woolf fell to his death
from fatefM saddle which he con-
sidered his good-luck charm.
When he rode Whirlaway Tor
the first time, Ben Jones asked
The Iceman il he couldn't afford a
better saddle.
Certainly replied the Canad-
ian-bern WooH, "but / wouldn't
trade this one for Whirlaway."
Plain Ben Jones reminded him
that Mr.. Long Tail had won a half
million dollars.
"Yeah,'' said Wook, 'fbut this
saddle has won more than a mil
lion.''
It was the dilapidated old
kangaroo-leather saddle that was
strapped on the i'll fated Phar
Laps back the early March after
noon OF 1882 on which the Aus

side OF his native land.
The saddle was given Wool,
then just coming along, by Billy
Elliott, the Australian jockey
who rode Phar Lap.
WooH was born in 1909 at Cards
ton, Canada. While he rode his first
winner on a recognized track at I'll
juana in 1928, he rode his first
race at the ripe age Of six, tied on
the back Of a quarter-horse.
Under contract at Is, he was
traded to Lemuel T. Whitehill for
"a horse and other consider
ations." It was almost a bad trade
on both sides. The horse promptly
died. and when Whitehill decided
to go to Tijuana. young Woolf
decided he didn't want to become
