Big Heart of City Goes
Out to Mother and Babe

i've got pretty nice home" one
elderly man explained. 'and I'll be.
glad TO take 'em both In. I'm a
widower, you see. and I haven't got
anybody to look after my boy. and
I'D like TO get the mother as a
house-keeper. No; no matrimony:
just a straight proposition. But
the mother would get a good home.
and she wouldn't have to give up
the youngster."
"Why. she can come and stay
with me as long as she wants to-"
n kindly old lady phoned 'I've got
a nice home. but I'm lonely--and
ia like to have her just for a COM
panion.. And the baby would cheer
up the house. and--forget things"
An Everett man motored to Sc
attic as soon as he had read the
paper, with instructions from his
wife to bring both mother and baby
back with him.
The mother hasn't yet decided
which OF the dozens of offers she
will accept--but one thing is sure:
The great heart OF Seattle will look
after both her and her boby.

For No. 10, in my list OF foremost
amateur golfers in this country we go to
the Lone Star state-and anyone who
looks in that direction can almost see the
tall, rangy figure Of George Rotan pro-
jecting up from the plains of Texas.
Rotan is included In this position in my
selections because OF his gofing ability
plus his golfing head. In addition to this
he is an extraordinarily fine putter. These
characteristics should rightly designate
him, I think, as better player than Won
Elm. Perry Adair and Jimmy Manion Of
ST. Louis.
No list of the best amateurs Of the
country could be complete. however. with
out the names Of those three players. so
shall include them as alternates George
Won Elm is Pacific northwest and Trans
mississippi champion. His home Is in
Salt Lake City. Perry Adair is southern
amateur champion. He lives at Atlanta.
James Manion is Missouri amateur cham
pion.
] have seen Rotan display some wonder
ful head work in his playing, and I know
that he is thus real student OF the
game in addition to being a fine shot
maker. There comes a time in finished
golfing when the very best Of shotmaking
falls just little shy Of championship
success. There are SO many fine players
that their shots from tee or fairway fall
almost identically in the same place. ~
far as distance is concerned. But out on
the course there are dozens Of little tricks
Of play which result from thinking ahead
or the snot IN hand-and IL really II
these things which give the fine golfer
the advantage he needs.
1t was a play OF the kind. for instance.
which captured me my first national
championship. We had a green some 400
yards from the tee. The pin stood at the
far side Of the green. there being about
six feet between the hcle and the far
edge of the green. This far side OF the
green was not banked up At ALL The fair
way lay smooth up to and directly in
front Of the right hand sids Of the green.
I put my second shot to some rough on
tho near side Of this green. while my op.
ponsnt played to the open fairway as the
side Of the green. His ball rolled . ht-

runs for the Buifaloes. What more
