After 54 holes of play, Stan Leonard, the 40-year-old Canada star; Ed Furgol, lame-armed for mer national open champion, and Paul Harney, a 27-year-old newcomer from Bolton, Mass., were in a deadlock for first place with 209 totals. And the bookmakers, who had installed defending champion Mike Souchak as the favorite, didn't know which way to turn. Harney had started the tour nament as a 35-1 shot: Furgol at 12-1 and Leonard at 20-1. But Saturday they withstood the pressure from a flock of the current big-name stars and ap peared to be in good position to City League Leaders Vie This Week MIBL STANDINGS: W.

Leonard had a 69 Saturday over the Tijuana Country club course that had been lengthen ed to 7100 yards; Furgol had a 70 and Harney, the leader at th3 half-way mark slipped slightly with a 74. But they were a long way from making a run-away of it. Eric Brown, the Scotland star, came in With a 70 for 210 and was tied at that mark with Al Besselink, who had a 74, but is a tough man to beat when there is enough money at stake. Al has been betting on himself with the bookmakers here and is in a strong position. Bolt, fined for club throwing, became involved in a hassle of some type with Jackie Burke, the PGA and Masters champion and they reportedly made up after being near to tossing punches Friday night. So they both went out Satur day and clipped par. Bolt came in with a 70 for a 211 total and Burke shot a 68 for the same score. That tied them with Billy Casper, a young pro from Chula Vista, Calif., who had a 72. Still in contention at 212 only three strokes away were such strong men as Jay Hebert, Souchak.

Under rules put into PGA by laws this year, "club throwing, club breaking or unbecoming conduct on the golf course" by PGA members results in $100 fine.

USLTA Said 'Ostrich-Like' Chicago (U.R) The president of the U.S. Lawn Tennis asso ciation Saturday urged the group to quit being "Ostrich-like" about creating a National open.

McMann, reelected president at the group's 76th annual con vention Saturday, said he did not necessarily advocate an open, which would mix amateurs with professionls, but neither did he agree with those who felt the USLTA "would los its grasp on tennis if it allowed an open."
