Their cards,
 Morning Round
By HENRY VANCE


 David Roberts, driving rain soaked ball over a "squshy" course. swan through to victory over Bob Brooke Saturday afternoon, and, by virtue of his victory grabbed off the golf championship of the Magic City. staged at the Roebuck course. To of few months ago at the Country club, Mir. Roberts employed an ap- proach wizardry that would have beaten anybody, and the match cane to a close on the thirteenth hole, MT. Roberts triumphing, 6-5.
 The old adage, "Persistency. thou art a jewell was proven once again Saturday. Mir. Roberts, not an .ld man, but nevertheless a veteran at the game, has been plugging along for years. Many times he's had a championship within his grasp, only to lose out in the finals or semi finals. But he kept going along, im- proving his game here and there, and fighting fate, and Saturday he came through to his first championship.
 Couldn't Be Beaten
 T was off my game said MT. Brooke, but, believe me, I couldn't have beaten him if had been shoot ing my best. His approach shots W as a clock all the way through,
 While MT. Roberts displayed r4re form in all departments of the game, his pitches to the green made up his phenomenal work for the day, Time and time again he stood down the fairway and pitched 'em dead 10 the pin. It's pity rain had to come up in the afternoon and bluff out a gallery. Spectators were robbed Of I,r the precipitation.
 Five Up in First IS
 During the morning round of ls holes, perfect weather was served but the rumblings of thunder In the northwest bespoke the brewing of d storm. The participants in the cham pionship got a late forenoon start and it was after 1 o'clock when they came to the eighteenth green and lunch At this point, MT. Roberts possessed a 5-up lead.
 Enthusiasts gasped when an- nouneement was made that Roberts enjoyed such a hefty lead. Brooke was the betting favorite to win the championship. When it was learned MT. Roberts had him 5down, close followers of the royal and ancient pastime could not believe it. Brooke took an s5 for the medal play in The

 Rain Comes Up
 AS the TWO rivals Tor cnamplonShip honors went to the club house and lunched the lightning became more vivid, the thunder rumbles became more pronounced and the black cloud in the northwest took on a more som Der hue and displayed a tendency to drift Roebuckward. Soon a healthy shower was in progress and all in terested realized the two men would nave to fight it out over a heavy track.
 1t was still raining as they teed off for the last iS-hole stretch. and it continued to rain as they nego tiated the bedraggled fairways. A fellow who can swat a golf ball in swampy course like that without splashing water in his eyes, should be a bear-cat at eating grape frurt The rain displayed no tendency to

 Later some one asked about the status of a golf game and rain. Tt has to be played rain or no rain" said Cap'n Bob.

 Baker is starting a little late with his home runs and with no hope that he will ever beat Ruth for plurality, but he has got his eyes on distance and is trying to knock one farther into the bleachers at the Polo grounds than Ruth has batted one.
 Baltimore keeps right on walking over the remainder of the Inter- national league and preparing to meet the American association champions in the post-season series between Class A circuits.
 Rousch of Cincinnati, slow to start off this season, is gradually work ing his way to the top row of the National league batters. but it is very doubtful whether he gets far enough to pull Roger Hornsby from the shelf.
 Seems to me" said Ruth, that every time we have gone west this year it has been a crucial trip. What is this here crucial that it should poster a baseball team so continuous ly? I figure crucial would be about due the last week of the season if yo Il were tied with the other fellow and both playing tl:e two strongest teams in the league outside of you own" sweeping provision should not be put into operation without scientific investigation.

BERLIN. September 1.-THE Ma

Housewives has asked the Prus-
sian parliament to- recognize 1t
formally as a labor union. but the
request was denied when it was
learned that the organizations
constitution had failed to specify
whether the housewives were en-
ployers or employees.
The rejection of the request dis
closed differences of opinion among
the members of the various
branches. some asserting that
women who did their own house,
work were employees, while house,
wives having maids or other hired
help were employers.
Objections. particularly by peas

ried women whose household duties
were performed by servants as
professional wives" brought about
an attempt to evade the issue by
the use of the words professional
calling" instead of laborers, in
the constitution.
