TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE SNEAD EDGES OUT BYRON NELSON 10 L. A. Tl It Can Friedman United Press Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, Jan. 9 U. Sammy Snead, richer by fi.oao i a result of winning the 19th annual Los Angeles open at the Riviera Country club and a host of other top-flight professionals were en route to Phoenix, Ariz., today for the sixth of their cur rent series of winter golf tour naments.

Snead had a birdie four on the 'first bole, bogied the fifth for par on the first nine. He then birdled the 13th and sank a four .and one-half foot putt on the tough 18th hole for another birdie and what proved to be the tournament title. Nelson Close Nelson, pre-tourney favorite with Snead, went out in a one-under-par 34, with two birdies and a bogey, needing only par on ; the incoming nine to tie the champ. However, he bogied the 10th and 15th holes. He birdled the 17th and with a tie hanging on the outcome of his putt, missed a 20-footer by a ' matter of inches for a par on the 18th green.

CHICAGO CUBS GIVE UP 20TH MAN TO SERVICES Chicago, Jan. 9 (U.R) The Chicago Cubs gave up their 20th player to the armed services to day with the announcement that Pitcher Leslie BiU Flem ing, 30-year-old righthanded veteran, has been inducted into the army at Marysville, Calif. iteming came to the Cubs in 1942 from the Boston Red Sox and made his best mark last season when he won nine and lost 10 games. . He previously held a 2-A rating. "Any time you can't adjust yourself to circumstances, you've lost your growing point." This oft repeated philosophy of my father's has helped me over many a rough place. And life can be made tough going by such silly little things. A small break in a long established schedule can be as irritating as a pebble in the shoe. The peb ble in my shoe since coming to the city is an enforced change in my writing time. At Hill side, after getting Frank off to camp in the morning, I'd pour another cup of coffee, sit at the kitchen table and do my daily stint of writing. ( So long has this been my custom that to have to write under other circumstances seemed utterly impossible. At first staying in a hotel, the room seemed so cheerless I could only sit and chew my pencil. Then to a private home and this proved little better. City people Just don't get up at 5 a. m., my favorite period for creative work. Had I lost my growing point, I thought? Then I discovered the little cafe; one which opens at 5 a. m. Eureka! Though there Is no bantam Romeo perched in a walnut tree out side the door crowing insults to other roosters across the bay and no little wood stove with rosy cracks, yet I do have a cup of coffee be fore me and can now write un der much the same conditions I did at Hillside. For a booth and a table make a fair substitute for a kitchen and a table. My ego is reestablished; I've adjust ed to conditions. Olive hasn't lost her growing point! For the first ,.few mornings the waitress was Just another young girl to me; I'm equally sure I was just another matron Drenktnstcr to her, I think her "growing point" must be a little livelier than mine for it didn't take her long to .assume her part In my routine. By the fourth morning she no longer came and stood beside me wait ing for my order. Instead, no sooner was I seated, pencil in hand and paper before me than a hot cup of coffee was handily placed. So It has been every morning since. The first cup is followed by a plate of toast; this with no ordering on my part. At various times during the hour of my stay she refills my cup; most of the time I am not aware of when this happens. I Ret the illusion Im being looked after by a loved and loving daughter. So until the world is right again and I may return to Hill side, a city cafe booth makes a very good substitute for a coun try kitchen, MATURE DENIES Las Vegas, Jan. 9 (U.R) Chid Boatswain's Mate Victor Mature today denied newspaper reports that he would go on in active coast guard duty to re sume his movie career, adding that ha "planned to follow coast guard orders as long as there Is a Job to do in this war."

M Formation Of Baby In Digestive Tract Cause Of Mystery Lot Angeles, Jan. 9 (U.R) Mrs. Bessie Lee Walker, 23- year-old wife of an army pri vate, nursed her four-day old daughter today unaware that she made medical history by forming the baby entirely apart from her reproductive organs in her digestive tract. Dr. R. B. Jenkins, chief surgeon at the Angelus hospi tal, described the birth techni cally as an "extra-uterine ab dominal pregnancy." Birth of a normal living child under those conditions was unheard of, he said. The strange arrangement was discovered by Dr. Jenkins when he prepared to perform a Caes arian operation to deliver the child, 23 days overdue. Astounded attendants saw the uterus was normal with no signs of pregnancy, while the baby was crowded in among the mother's digestive organs. The mystery. Dr. Jenkins said, was how the impregnated ovum found its way through the tough abdominal wall into a part of the digestive cavity which could be reached only by surgery, and how it was nour ished during pregnancy.
