hard to swing. but they stuck grimly
to 1t. Hagen or Barnes never go tired
So it was that they came down the
hill to the eighteenth green, both a little
pale. On that whole depended the last
chance of little Francis Doyle.
The bank at the clubhouse must have
looked as though it was covered with
hundreds of people. and it was a fact
that all eyes were on the midget couple.
His father and mother and sister were
there to witness his hoped for triumph,
but just as he got TO the creek little
Francis forgot all except the memory
of the big piece of pie and ice cream
he'd had for lunch.
He became suddenly and unanimously
sick.
That finished, he wiped his face, took
his mashic and hit his ball up there but
three feet from the pin.
Came but groggy was no word for It.
Applause ratified down and likewise
ratified him. He blew that putt and
the match.
But the youngster smiled gamely and
shook hands just as Ouimrt would do
before he was smothered in the arms
of his mother, while the gallery cheered
the tiny heroes to the echo.
The junior tourney is descended from
the old interscholastic league cham
pionship which was not success.
This was due to the fact that it was
hard to place the boys who appeared
from here, there, and everywhere,
most of them caddes, and many actu
ally pros on account of their ages, it
Is said.
The players it was intended for
were, therefore. crowded out or failed
to appear, and the present Junior
championship was substituted.
In the memory of one of the mem
bers of the committee, the junior
champion the first three years Of its
play was NJ. NJ. Jack, Merton, then
Philip l.. Corson, Plymouth. The
following tourney was won by J. w.
Patt, now city champion, and last
year again by Corson. Corson was In
eligible this year.

and there was all kinds of excitement.
But this years tourney is sustaining
the interest in great shape, too. The
real youngsters are there, forty strong,
the youthful talent Of the city. To see
them pick off brassie shot was rev =

competition, some won their first golf
prize.

RUSH AID TO
 STARVING JEWS

New York, April 22.---Medfcad aid. food and coIthing will be rushed to the starving lewis people of the Uk- raine and Russia from American Jew ish relief funds, following the State Departments announcemnt that it had granted permission for the U45ra- nian Commission of the Joint Dis trjbution Committee to enter Russia at its own risk.
 Following application by Louis Marshall chairman of the American Jewish Relief Committee, to the State Department, for permission to send the Commission into Russia to fight famine and typhus which is killing off thousands of men, women and chill dren, Frank L. Polk, Under-Secretary of State, gave the Governments per mission with these conditions:
 1. The Commissions purpose is sole ly to extend relief to the suffering and it will take no supplies, which if seized, might be diverted for military use.
 9 As the United States governm has no relations with this territory, it will be in no position to extend pro- lection to the Commission and it must go on it's own risk
 3. In a, general way it is the desire of the State Department to facilitate the distribution of relief to innocent sufferers in RaEssiaA but every precau- ton must be taken against the misuse of supplies furnished.

which is the relief disbursing agency for the American Jewish Relief Com 1nittee and it's allied organizations ac- cepted these conditions and arrange ments are now under way in Poland to send the Ukranian commission Into Ukraine and Russia
 There are over 3,300,000 Jews in the Ukrane alone whose condIuon' owing to the impossibility of reaching the country, is the worst in Europe, according to reports received by the American Relief Committee. Typhus, cholera and starvation are sweeping away thousands of the population, while the lack of clothing reaped a terrible death toll during the winter, reports stated.
 The Russian government has an nounced that it will afford the Com mission full protection while admin istering relief in it's territories, ac- cording to newspaper dispatches from Copenhagen.
 When the Commission enters the Ukrane and Russia, it will have been the first American relief agency to function there.
