ron and Ned Sawyer were tied for
first place at 7S's! Now, Ned Sawyer
is an experienced golfer, and he was
playing the game of his life during
the first few rounds at Detroit that
year. On the other hand L am not
sure that young Heron had ever
played in a national championship
before. If he had he had never quail
fled in one. At Detroit he fell down
somewhat the second day, but quail
fled well up the line. There was one
thing of which I felt very sure on
that first morning of the qualifying
round at Detroit; any fellow who
could make IS on that course was a
and on that morning the tees had
been set far back, and the man who
made a 73 must have hit many a long
one consistently. When a man as
strong as Davidson Heron could do
that he had centFol-something that
the very strong man is apt to lack. 1t
seems sometimes that great strength
often gets in the way.
There are great many golfinG

son that we had not heard so much
of the newcomer, his light haying

liancy of his neighbors.
1t is safe to say that young Heron
has had the advantage of instruction
and competition with these great
players. Bill Fownes without doubt
has given much attention to the prom
Using youngster.
Davidson has been very fortunate
in his course, and any man who ex-
pected to become a great golfer must
have a good course to play upon.
Davidson Heron played splendidly at
Pittsburgh this year and showed the
qualities of great golfer. His match
with Bobby Jones proved his mettle
for there We're many occasions in the
first round and half of the finals to
test him theroiy. Davidson Heron
with his youth and ability should
make much golf history.

The National Amateur Champion.
AS I mentioned last week the 1917
national golf championship, wiped off
the slate by the war, had been sched-

Pittsburgh. Shortly before the tourna.

noted Pittsburgh golfer and ex-na-

Supply TO Public.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Release of
additional supplies of food held by the
government, particularly sugar. was
discussed today at a meeting of the
official cabinet committee on the high
cost of living. but no decision was
reached. Other steps in the govern
ment's campaign to combat high
prices were discussed and it was an
nounced that progress had been made.
Secretary Daniels, who was present
for the first time. said he and Attor-
ney General Palmer and Secretary
Baker would meet soon to discuss
whether the military departments of
the government had any surplus food
which could be released to the public.
Mr.. Daniels said he had sufficient su-
gar for the navy for six months but
wanted to know before he released
any whether he would be able to OBJ
tain supplies when he went into the
market again.
Women of the country may be ap-
pealed to within the next few weeks,
it was learned, to help reduce the high
cost of living by saving.
