Harper Leads In 35,000 Desert Inn Tourney Bid
A long odds battle frames the Tournament of Champions at Wilbur Clark Desert Inn Las Vegas with Chandler Harper of Portsmouth Va in a brides maid role as Masters action unfolds in Augusta Ga. The piece recalls Harper's past misfortunes including a 1933 Masters misplay and a notable lake shot error that shifted momentum to Al Besselink. It also mentions boxing cards and Milan Indiana basketball crown developments, plus a tangential note on Bill Traey and real estate moves in Memphis.

Hollywood Stars Stuck in Slump as Infield Woes Hurt Bragan
Hollywood Stars remain winless in the Pacific Coast League after a 9-8 loss to Portland, with infield blunders by Ack Lahote and a makeshift infield blamed on manager Hobby Bragan. Portland’s victory marks the fourth straight win over Hollywood, who also had defensive miscues in crucial moments. Dick Faber led San Diego’s 8-5 win over Los Angeles with a homer and four hits. Sacramento tied the series with Oakland at 4-1 as wildness fueled late scoring. Seattle and San Francisco battled 15 innings, ending 10-3 for the Rainiers aided by Zarilla’s homer.
