The Long Beach youngster, who shot a 64 lowest medal score on record in USGA com petition at the last tournament in Spokane, Wash., in 1941, fired another 64 yesterday to take a five-stroke lead over his nearest competitors. The dry, sun-baked layout, so tough that four men withdrew after testing the first nine, was no problem for Clark, whose irons were near-perfect as he re turned to competition after four years of service in the marine corps. He hit the pins with four on his approach shots and when a hot putter was needed he had that, too. On the sixth he sank a 30-footer for one of his seven birdies.

Island Boxer Wants Action SAN FRANCISCO, July 23 (JP) As noted in this column some time back, boxing promoters in the United States could prepare for an invasion of Filipino box ers, now that 4he war Is over and the ring sport returned to the Philippines on a commercial basis. Star Misamis, a bull-necked, pleasant little fellow, is here now and, from all accounts, he is better than a green hand at swinging his dukes. The 25-year-old Filipino is the authentic lightweight and wel terweight champion of the Phil ippines and the Manila Courier gave him a fitting send-off in its sports column when he sail ed. Misamis weighs 135 pounds. In 46 fights his record lists 32 knockouts. The only two de feats charged against him were decisions won by a countryman, Speedy Cabanella, who current ly is boxing In California. It was necessary for Misamis to make 130 pounds for Cabanella and he says the weight reduction served to weaken him. He hasn't i.n ounce of surplus fat. The imposing string of kayoes bespeaks Misamis' style of bat tling. He wades in and throws punches How he will fare in this country is something else again, but he isn't choosy about opponents, which is more than many of our domestic ring men can say. All he wants practical ly right off the bat is a chance to tangle with the NBA light weight champ, Ike Williams. The best of the women pro players will get $1000 of the $3500 prize pay-off. Should an amateur win. she will get $100 I in war bonds.
