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. The White Sulphur Springs,
Va., slam bang artist, sizzled to
a tidy two-under-par os on ine
final round yesterday, his only
sub-par 18 In the Los Angeles
tourney, for a 283 to edge out
Byron Nelson, the Toledo, O.,
Texan and last year's leading
money winner, and defending
champion Harold (Jug) McSpad
cn of Philadelphia, by one
stroke.
Three-Tim Winner
. The former navy chief special
ist, who has won three of the
five tournaments In which he has
participated since his discharge
shot even par 71 In his first two
rounds, slipped to 72 Sunday, but
napped back to a 69 in the final
round.
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.
McSpaden threw away the
tournament in Sunday's blanket
of fog when he took a six on the

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,

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.
