Simie, MIDDLECOFF COPS LAKEWOOD PARK TOURNEY TITLE LONG BEACH, Jan. 23- (INS)--No matter what the future holds for Dr.

Cary Middlecoff-and aL return to active duty in the Army appears Imminent--the Memphis dentist has broken a long jinx. Through four years of campaigning 011 California links Middlecoff could not snag a win in A golf tournament in the Golden State. He erased all that yesterday by copping the $2,000 first prize in the $10,000 Lakewood Park Invitational with a brilliant 13-under-par 271 for the 72 holes. The lanky cavity-filler from the hills of Tennessee yesterday fired his fourth straight, sub-par round--a 68 while young Julius Boros and veteran Lloyd Mangrum of Chicago were falling by the wayside.

He was rewarded with a second place check of $1,400. Three veterans and a young bridegroom from St. Petersburg, Fla.Dick Mayer--each received $775 for finishing in a four-way tie for third with 275. The others were Jimmy Clark, Laguna Beach, Jimmy Thomson, New York City, and Henry Ransom, St. Andrews, Ill.

The deadlocked delegates voted to adjourn and leave decision up to just as the Chicago entered its seventh day, the longest confab in the history of the League. The commissioner announced he will leave for Philadelphia today and said he will probably have eral.

proposed division alignments and schedules ready "in about ten days." These alternatives will be submitted to the 12 clubs for a vote within 48 hours.

However, if none receives the support of 11 clubs Bell will make up the division alignment and schedule himself-establishing it on a one-year basis. In that case the owners will battle it out again at next year's meeting.
