The second game tonight pitsHarney LeadsL. A. Open Field Into Last RoundLOS ANGELES (API — History, at best a frivolous sort of thing, may repeat itself today as Paul Harney nurses a fragile lead going into the final round of the $50,000 Los Angeles Open golf tournament.People, mostly money hungry fellow professional golfers, were peering down his neck as play resumed over the par 36-35—71 Rancho Club Course Sunday.Undoubtedly the most prominent peeper was Arnold Palmer.The money-winning king was just three strokes back of 34-year-old Harney.By sheer coincidence, this was exactly Palmer's position one year ago when Art Wall Jr., was the leader. Palmer made up the difference en route to victory, and did it by three shots, with Wall somewhat shaken back five strokes in arrears.Immediately behind the greying golfing pride of Worcester, Mass., were Bobby Nichols and Jimmy Clark. Harney had a 54-hole score of 209, Nichols and Clark 210.Jay Hebert was alone at 211 and then came Palmer, along with A1 Geiberger and A1 Balding.Included in the 214 group were Gene Littler, Dow Finslcrwald and West Ellis, Jr., along with James Black, the one-day opening round surprise.Harney fired a brilliant 66 Sunday which included the biggest shot of the day, a seven-ircn blast that traveled 155 yards and plopped in for an eagle two on the 14th hole.Palmer's jinx rode again at the ninth hole, the one he took a 12 on in 1961, seven strokes over par. Sunday he hit over the fence onto a practice range and took a seven.But Palmer got into no more trouble and his two birdies gave him a round of 39-33—72, and a chance for today’s $7,500 first prize.Some Dogs LearnCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)-It never occurs to a dog that it's not human, it just thinks humans walk funnier than it does, says Mrs. Ralph K. Beck, a professional trainer.If you own one, she suggests, the least you can do is teach it to obey so it will be a pleasure instead of a detriment.”The secret to training a dog, Mrs. Beck says, “is kindness, repetition and persistence — if you never deviate, it'll learn from force of habit.”Webb City against Carthage at 8:15 o’clock.Tuesday's final first-round tussles pair Joplin East and Nevada at 7 o'clock and Joplin South and Lamar at 8:15 o’clock.The semifinals are Thursday and the finals are Saturday.East is top seeded in the eighth-grade tourney.
