Great Driver

Hagcn's driving has caused America $
golf world to marvel. consequently his
game, even in the high winds that he is
liable to encounter, is not likely to suf-
fer nearly as much as some of our other
great golfers would under similar condi-
tions.
The turf on the links of Great Britain
is also different from that over here.
THIS means that Hagen will have to do
n good deal of, practicing on many
courses over there to get his game 'ac
climated."
Still, Hagen has a chance, and a
good one, and it is not likely that he
will overlook any bets when the time

which the tournament will be played.

Got Long Lead

Mnrston got long lead over Wild
and was mp at tho end of tho morn
ing round of eighteen holes. Wild had
lot of hackers who believed that he
would steady down and win. Th"y were"
morally certain that if Wild ever
squared the match Mnrston would crack
and become an easy victim.
But the big gallery that followed tn"
players in spite of the rough weather
did not take into account MnrSton
nerve. As predicted, Wild did steady
down in the afternoon play and iInaiIH
squared the match on the tenth green
after Marston had sliced into the rough.
It was at this point that Wild's follow
crs were sure the turning point of th"
match had come. But Marston upset
all the psychological dope and made a
brilliant finish of the match, winning
on the thirty fifth, up.

New Conditions

t is predicted by those who competed
in golf tournaments in Britain that
Walter Hagen, our open champion, Is
going to have hard row to ho" in his
cndcavor to win the British title. Play
ing conditions in the British isles ar"
vastly different from those golfers meet
on American links.
The thing most likely to upset lla-
gems game is the wind. On the shore
links of Great Britain there is always
a hard wind to combat. 1t takes time,
skill and patience to learn to success
fully overcome this invisible but per
fectly physical hazard,
Hagen, however. is we'll qualified to
make the attempt to lift tn" British
title. because his driving is remarkable
for its correctness. lie rarely pulls or
slices.

She may think she does, but she
doesn't. They're her husbands So

Women in California have no
legal right to the clothes they
wear" continued Miss Laughlin
Miss Laughlin scorned the criti-
cism OF male attorneys that women
in jury boxes would trade on their
sex"
How about the handsome young
attorney with a winning smile?" she
asked. what would be his effect on
Il jury OF women? It's fallacy, pure
and simple. That women cannot
make good jurors and many at
torneys Of the male sex have been

PUBLIC MARKET
Want Commissioners to

ship Plan a Tryout.

The question of urging the Commis-
sioners to use one of the six markets
owned by the city as a model expert
ment station for the distribution OF
farm produce and other food supplies
by licensed auctioneers or commits
sion men, under strict government
control, is being considered by the
executive committee of the Federation
of Citizens Associations. -..
Members of the executive commit
tee, according to President w. b.
westlake, are convinced that the
$500 OOO0 which has been invested by
the people in its municipal retail
markets would lower the living cost
IL one or more of them is transformed
into a distribution center to which
any farmer could ship his produce,
with confidence that he has a quasi
public auctioneer charged with the
duty OF handling his product. under
bond. who will send him ain accurate
return OF the sale.
At present. 1t is pointed out, the
people derive no advantage whatever
from this $4,000 investment, which
was nlS.de with the idea that II would
enable them to buy their food cheaper
because OF low rentals charged STALL
masters. Instead, in most cases
markets are now selling higher than
the chain stores.
The plan suggested would authorize
the Commissioners to fix the rate OF
commission at about per cent or
sales at auction or private sales and
permit no commission man to do busi-
ness in these markets owned by the
people unless they are willing to SUBJ
nit to regulation in this respect
