Seagram Gold Cup and Defending Champion, Sam Snead —a Three-time Winner The smiling gentleman is "Slam- ming Sammy" Snead holding the Seagram Gold 'Cup he won last year at Lambton as Canadian Open Golf Champion. Last year was Snead's third victory in the Open and he would like nothing better than a victory this year to tie the record of four open wins now held by Leo Diegel: The defending champion's entry has not yet been received at local golf headquarters, and for a very good reason. Snead is in the United States Navy, and permis- sion must be secured from his superior officers to allow him to take part in this tournament. A request for this permission has been despatched through the pro- per channels and it is confidently expected that Snead will tee off with the field at Mississauga on August 6th in quest of his fourth win. Since the House of Seagram first presented the trophy in 1936, the names of some of America's outstanding golf stars have been inscribed on the parchment scroll. First there was Lawson Little, then "Light Horse" Harry. Cooper. Snead's victories came in 1938, 1940 and 1941, with the 1939 crown going to Harold "Jug" Mc- Spaden who is again entered this year. Standing twenty - two inches from base to top, the Seagram Gold Cup is one of the most cov- eted trophies in golfdom. It rests on a massive base of onyx which contains a gold casket within which is the inscribed parchment scroll of annual winners. The gold casket is mounted on heavily chased silver feet with a Corin- thian column at each corner. Two beavers act as supporters of this casket and the Canadian coat of arms is beautifully executed on the front. The cup itself is of Grecian design and made of gold,. The superlative workmanship and exquisite design make this: trophy, which was made entirely in Canada, one of exceptional' beauty seldom seen in athletic trophies, The winning players receive a miniature of the cup for perma- nent possession and have their names inscribed on the parchment scroll which reposes in the base of the trophy, First prize money in the Cana- dian Open is $1000.00, with an ad- ditional $200.00 if the winner is a Canadian. In all, $3600.00 is al- loted to be divided among the first fifteen. The Canadian Open this year will be held at Mississauga, just outside of Toronto, on August 6th, 7th and 8th, and as in previous years the field will include many famous United States and Carak..k dian Golfing stars. The entire net profits of the, 1942 Canadian Open and all?
