Los Angeles St. Anaheim Snead Adds to Cash Hoard with Inverness Four-Ball Triumph TOLEDO, O., Samuel Jackson Snead, the hill-country golf stylist reputed to have a private Fort Knox in his back yard at White Suphur Springs, W. Va., had another $2,325 to toss into it today. The year's big money winner on the golfing tour teamed with Jim Ferrier, the transplanted Australian, to win the $15,000 Inverness four-ball matches yesterday in impressive style. The former PGA champions spread-eagled the field in the 13th best-ball fixture with the peculiar scoring system. They rolled up a "plus 18" score in seven matches to construct a wide margin over Freddie Haas of New Orleans and Fred Hawkins of St. Francis, Ill., who finished a surprising second with plus 5. For their four-day seven-match chose Snead and Ferrier picked up the $4000 check for first place, grabbed another $250 for leading the sub-par scoring with 48 birdies and an eagle. and Sam got another $200 for winning the driving contest. Haas and Hawkins received $2400 for the runner-up spot. Behind them came Henry Ransom - Skip Alexander, plus one, $1800; Clayton Heafner-Johnny Palmer, minus one, $1400; Dutch Harrison-Porky Oliver, minus one, $1400; Lloyd Mangrum-Cary Middlecoff, minus four, $1450; including $250 for having the low best-ball round of 61, ten under par; Chick Harbet-Bob Hamilton, last year's victors, minus 8, $1100; Jimmy Demaret - Jack Burner minus 10, $1000. Snead and Demaree, who finished on the top and bottom stings, wound up as the individual leaders in the birdie department each with 30. Under the Inverness system, eagle equals two birds, and Maret had 28 birds and one eagle while Sam had 30 birds. The field scored 335 birdies and nine eagles in the spectacle display of best-ball team work with Harrison, Middlecoff and Hawkins each getting a pair of eagles, and Demaret, Haas and Ferrier one each. Oddly enough, Ransom and Alexander had the lowest total in the birdie column, 39, and was less under par at 34 than any other third placers. The winning total of 18 points was the third highest in history. Ben Hogan and Demaret be tops with 20 in 1948, and Hamilton-Harbert Geox 19 a year ago.

Their first match last February did the same business and the fans saw a blistering bout won by Aragon on a TKO in the 12th round. Aragon lost some of his glamour a month ago when veteran Carlos Chave handed him a decisive whipping in 10 rounds, but he figures to enter the ring a slight betting favorite over the transplanted lad from Mexico. Bolanos, however, has looked impressive in training. Aragon, realizing the importance of a repeat triumph over Bolanos, has been training equally-hard in the mountains north of here.

Merk Takes Coach Job At Cambria Roy Merk, longtime local athletic and recreation standout, leaves Anaheim late next month for Cambria where he will take up coaching chores at Coast Union high school this coming Fall. Merk signed with the north coast high school last Friday, following negotiations with several other prep athletic departments. At Cambria, a resort town 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo on the Big Sur highway, Merk will run the gamut of coaching activities. On his prospective list are football, basketball, swimming and baseball. The pact also includes teaching assignments. Merk will conduct classes in freshman and senior problems, math and world history. Merk has been part of the local recreation scene for the past five years. He was city recreation director for three years, 1946 through 1948, when the job was a summer affair. With the expansion to a year round program, he went to work as summer assistant to City Recreation Director Don Derr, the position he now holds. Three years ago, Merk and Don Liebhart, now summer Juvenile League impresario, started the all-inclusive summer program which the youngsters now engage in. The idea of entering teams in a variety of sports, baseball, football, basketball, swimming and through 1948, when the job was a summer affair. With the expansion to a year round program, he went to work as summer assistant to City Recreation Director Don Derr, the position he now holds. Three years ago, Merk and Don Liebhart, now summer Juvenile League impresario, started the all-inclusive summer program which the youngsters now engage in. The idea of entering teams in a variety of sports, baseball, football, basketball, swimming and track, instead of the summer-long softball stint, then in vogue originated with Sam Keith, AUHS basketball and track coach. The first year, six teams went through the various activities as units. This year a total of 18 are in the running. Merk won distinction as an athlete at Fullerton J.C., where he sparkled in football and baseball. He captained the Hornet grid machine in 1946. Merk took his B.A., in physical education at Whittier College, graduating in February of this year. At present he is winding up courses at Long Beach College which will net him a secondary teaching credential. The Cambria position will be Merk's first crack at prep coaching. It isn't, however, his first attempt at producing athletes. In addition to his recreation department activities, he has three years of Navy coaching to his credit. As an athletic specialist, he taught Uncle Sam's seamen football, baseball, basketball and track. At St. Mary's Preflight, Merk enjoyed what he considers some of his most valuable playing experience when he performed alongside T-master Frankie Albert on the highly-regarded Naval origade. The immediate future for the Merk family, which includes Roy, his wife Rose Marie, part-time news photographer, and sons William Gene, 3½, and Michael, eight months, is the Cambria job. However, they leave their 215 S. West st., home with the firm hope of ultimately returning to Orange county to take up permanent residence.
