WINS RACE AFTER
MANY FAILURES
Victory Follows 3 Years of
Disappointments for George
Thompson, Harrier.

Because he did not permit repeated
disappointments 10 discourage him and
kept on trying just the same. George
Thompson, a negro barrier. gratified his
ambition to win first prize In a road
race, when he led home a field Of sixty
Ave rivals in the five mile run OF the
Manhattan and Bronx Athletic League
yesterday.
Thompson's long delayed victory was
scored in impressive style. Given an
allowance of. five minutes, fifteen sec
onds less than the Handicapped assigned
the limit man, Thompson went right
out in search of that long delayed
award. At the half mile the ST. Christo-
pher lad had his first golden vision OF
success, for at that point he moved
into the lead. lie was never again
headed. One hundred yards measured
the distance he beat William Boak OF
tho Mohawk A. c. TO the tape.
Frank Titterton OF the Mohawk a. G.
showed a lot better form than two others
that started from scratch with him.
Although he finished in thirty-fourth po-
sItion Tittertons time OF 80 minutes 21
seconds was good enough TO give him
the fast time prize
The race was held over the course
OF st. Vincent F'errer's A. c.. with the
start as we'll as the flnish at the club
house of that organization In East Six

PROVES THAT GOLF
IS HUMBLIN' GAME
Little Cheer for George Low
in Frank NJ. Zittell's
Hole in 0pe.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

Golf traditions die hard. but die some
Of them must In these days OF reform,
reconstruction and prohibition. Gone
already is the styrnie and gone the smile
from the face OF the professional when
he hears that some one Of his club mem
bers has holed out in one.
In the good old days 1t was customary
for the PLAYER holing his tee shot to
pay a certain and invariably welcome
forfeit to the professional Of the green.
But, as Frank NJ Zittell found when he
sank his mid-iron shot from the tee OF
the $50 yard ninth at Baltusrol week
ago Saturday, 10 Is about as easy TO
observe tradition in the face OF the
Eighteenth Amendment as II Is to grow
grass on the face of a mashie and about
as easy TO work up enthusiasm for the
hoiing in one feat in the breast OF the
club pro- rs 1t is to coax cheer from
a broken niblick.
Mr.. Zittell came back from that round
OF golf feeling about fifteen feet tall and
as wide as all the Baltusrol fairway.
George" he remarked to the Baltus-
rol mentor, "I understand that YOU have
been quoted as saying that golf Is a
superfne and perfectly Judged mid-iron
shot on the ninth had humiliated me-?
Low eyed his man out OF an un-
enthusiastic optic.
"Hark ye," said he. II am the hapless
wight upon whom that ace of yours has
cast it's whitening blight. I presume that
you are familiar with every condition
that such a feat rs holing in one en-
tails. Tradition. man, tradition! How
are you to meet your penalties In this
day of the great drought?''
AS has been remarked. Mr.. Zittell
made his hole in one week ago Satur-
day All Of the intervening period hae
been occupied in arriving at solution
Finally a jury Of Baltusrol golfers had
to be called in on the case. Had IL been
left to George there could have been no
settlement save the one called for by
tradition. Over Lows protest. or so the
story goes, Mr.. Zittell is compelled to
pay the professionals ice cream soda
bill for the current month.
Needless to say nothing encountered
by George Low during the last week has
encouraged him to revise the opinion
formed so long ago that golf is a
humbling game"

According to the recent despatch from

Lochmoore, Detroit, chairman of the
eligibility committee of the United
States Golf Association. has decided to
take drastic step to limit the entries

has sent letter to the secretaries of
the sectional golf association in which
he asks that they refrain from sending
