L. A. Pro
Holds Lead
In Tourney
Los AngeleS -(UPD- Eric
Monti, a slim teaching pro
from just down - the street,
today seeks to become the
fifth golfer in the history of
the $37,500 Los Angeles Open
to score a wire-to-wire victory
in the winter's first major
tournament.
After going into Monday's
postponed third round with a
one-stroke lead over Dow Fin
sterwald, of Tequesta, Fla.,
at 137, Monti shot the day's
best round-a three-under par
68 for a 205 total-while his
nearest rival got a 71. That
gave Monti a four-stroke ad
vantage over Finsterwald en
tering today's final round of
the 72-hole tourney.
Finsterwald in addition to
holding second place did in
crease his margin over the
third place men-Bill Collins,
of Crystal River, Fla., and
Dave Ragan, or Orlando, Fla.,
to two strokes.
Didn't Play As Well
The cautious Monti said he
didn't play as well as he
would have liked , but again
the Hillcrest Country Club
pro found the neighboring
Rancho course greens to his
liking.
"I think if I shoot, a 71 in
the last round I should win
the tournament - I think,"
Monti said as he was mobbed
by well-wishers after sinking
a par five on the 18th green.
Tied in third place at 212
were Dick Knight, San Diego,
Calif., Jay Hebert, Sanford,
Fla., Gay Brewer Jr., Crystal
River, Fla., and Don January,
Denver.
The field was cut to the 69
pros who shot 221 or better
for the 54 holes and seven
amateurs headed by Phil Rod
gers of La Jolla, Calif., in fifth
place with 213.

GOOD ADVERTISING
REALLY SELLS!
When you tell them, they know. But when you
sell them, they buy! And buying makes the
difference in your business profits.
Apply this same thinking to your advertising.
A listing in a business directory tells the pub
lic that you're in business. A timely, pointed
ad in the Mail Tribune Classified Section tells
'em . . . and sells 'em! A Want Ad shows the
customers that you have what they want right
now . . . and gives them good reasons for buy
ing it right now.
When you have something to sell . . . use the
advertising medium that knows the difference
between telling and selling. Use the Want Ads
