At Los Angeles

Playing over the famed North Course of the Los Angeles Country Club last week, Harry Cooper, new 21-year-old English professional of the Tenison Park Club (Dallas, Tex.), scored 279 (nine under par), led a field including Joe ("Trick Shot") Kirkwood, Al Espinosa, "Auld" John Black, and Amateurs George von Elm and Charles Chung (Hawaiian champion). Cooper collected the juiciest of typically Los Angelic prize-money, $3,500.
