In Oakland Golf Open
Defending Champion Leonard Dodson
Expects to Repeat; Snead Contender
' OAKLAND, Calif., Dec. 7 (P)
Byron Nelson, the nation's top
money winner of the year, was
favored over the field of 132
Dros and amateurs today as the
72-hole Oakland Open golf tour
nament got away with $;auu in
war bonds waiting winners in
Sunday's finale.
The Toledo, Ohio, links cx-
fiert, ranked as the one to beat
hrough all major 1944 tourna
ments, came out of a slump to
finish well up in the Portland
Open two weeks ago and cap
tured the San Francisco Open
last weekend for the second year
in succession.

In Billiard Bee
NEW YORK, Dec. 6 W)
Standings of the world cham
pionship three-cushion billiard
tourney had a strange look to
day Willie Hoppe wasn't at the
top.
i The 57-year-old "Boy Won
der," who has held the title the
last three . years, suffered his
third defeat since 1940 in cham
pionship play last night. . He
bowed to Brooklyn's Arthur Ru
bin, 50 to 47, in 43 innings.
With Hoppe out of the first
place deadlock, the lead was
shared by Cochran, Ralph
Greenleaf of Detroit and Jay
Bozeman of Vallejo. Calif., each
with three wins and no defeats.
Hoppe skidded into a 'three-way
tie for fourth.

Veteran Burleigh Grimes
Named Pilot of Rocheifor
Club; Amendments on Deck
By JOE REICHLER
BUFFALO, N. Y Dec. 7 W)
For the first time since the start
of World war 2, minor league
baseball today appeared to be
more expansion-conscious than
survival-minded.
As the minora went into their
43rd annual convention, four
additional . leagues loomed as
possible starters next year.
After yesterday's brief open
ing conclavo, when routine com
mittees were appointed, most of
the leagues held individual
meetings. It developed that the
North Carolina state and tho
Carolina loop will definitely
operate, and Canadian and In
diana state circuits may be
formed.
The Western International
will decide on '45 plans at a
January meeting. The Interstate
and Ohio state leagues may ex
pand from six to eight teams.
The naming o f Burleigh
Grimes as manager of Roches
ter's International league club
bv President Sam Brcadon of
the parent St. Louis Cardinals,
was the most Important an
nouncement of the day. Grimes
fiilotcd Toronto In the same
oop last year.
Other managerial announce
ments were Ival Goodman,
Portsmouth, Va., succeeding
Jimmy Foxx, pending his re
lease from the Chicago Cubs
via waivers, and Bill Harris,
Erie, Pa. Foxx may act as a
roaming coach for the Cubs
among the Chicago farm clubs.
Tiny Greens Feature MiamiOpen
MIAMI. Fla., Dec. 7 W
Tiny, slightly elevated greens
gave the dead-eye chippers an
edge today as a big- field start
ed out for the first round of the
10,000 Miami open golf tour
nament. The Miami Springs course
where the event was being
played for the 21st time is
short, only 6310 yards, and rela
tively free ox traps, but the
greens are a baiard in them
selves. Considerably smaller than av
erage, they are built a foot or
two higher than the fairway
presenting an uncertain target
for professionals and amateurs
who have no difficulty driving
within short iron range on most
notes.
"The man who's chipping and 1
putting well will win," all
agreed.
Most galleryites figured that
either Henry Picard or Johnny
Revolta, both artists in thir
handling of approach clubs, was
most likely to be hitting the
ball straight for the pins.
The two veterans were quoted
at 4H to 1 in the clubhouse.
Surprisingly large, the 12 to
1 odds listed for Steve Warga
attracted support for the Miami
Airlines radio operator who
fired an even-par 280 for 288
holes to win first money last
year.
Johnny Bulla, the Airline pi
lot from Atlanta, was a 6 to 1
third choice. The odds-makers
fixed 8 to 1 as the price against
Tony Penna and Dutch Harri
son. Mel Arnet, Willie Klein and
Joe Turnesa were 20 to 1 long
shots. The odds on the "field"
were 5 to 1, meaning that all
other players were bunched so
that if any one of them won,
a bettor could collect $100 for
$20.

ever seen War Bonds fishing
That man in the boat up there is Dili

ing to land the-biggest bass in the
world well, almost the biggest
The time is 1954. And even Mr.
Brown doesn't know yet about the
big one he's going to land. But Bill
is working hard today in 1M1
saving money and buying War
Bonds and still more War Bonds.
After all, the Browns have two boys
in the Navy and as he says, "It's
little enough that we do, but it's the
' best we know how."
The happy side of Mr. Brown's sav
ing is that he's laying the ground
work for a secure old age for his
wife and himself. And according to
Mr. Brown, "that means fishing."
19if is a gojd year Cor saving money.
Because of the war there is a short
age of purchasable material. Because
of this shortage prices arc higher and
dollars can't buy as much as they
probably will 10 years from now,
say. If you will plan your saving
now work it out with pencil and
paperyour spending later will I,
more profitable to you and your fam
ily. And the best way ww'cnow
is to buy War Bonds. Another good
way is to add regularly to yourba
