Before the match in which two pro fessionals, Sarazen and Sparling were matched, each with an amateur, J: T. L. Hubbard and w. Parker Seeley, Saarazen gratiously posed for the camera man. Just the camera man, another newspaper man, Sarazen ana Sparling were present when in the caddy room.
 It was the first time that Sparling and Sarazen were really together alone in the ''old workshop" and look1ng like old times, George, isn't it Sparl- ing gave vent to his feelings while there with the ''kid.' as he calls Gene, and as the two demonstrated each meant to the other, Sparling,s eyes sparlkled with joy and Genes with gratitude and respect.

 The foursome teed off at about 3:30 D. m- and Sarazen declined to take the honor but insisted that his partner, J. T. l.. Hubbard, drive first. Hubbard played a fair drive with just the slightest slice.
 Sarazen was the next to drive and with hardly any deliberation he drove his ball straight and true up the fairway. Sparling, who is on famil- jar kerms with every blade of grass on the course, completed a very good drive.
 W. Parker Seeley hooked his ball into the rough. That seemed to be Seeley's bad point yesterday which made him play harder to get out of the rough. and be in the game with the others who invariably were on the green or close to it in their sec ond stroke. Seeley. however. when forced played his ball well out and far enough to bring him near the others.

LAWS IN
HELLUVA MESS
Nobody Knows What the
Laws Are or Where to
Find Them

Elizabeth City is in 4 great
fix. 1t is a town with a lot OF
city laws and no laws. No
body in town knows what the
local laws are, and nobody has
any way Of finding out. Out
side Of 4 few instances where
business people arc concerned
and have kept themselves
posted, a fellow never knows
when he is breaking some
Elizabeth City ordinance.
Trial Justice George J. Spence
says be has trouble in getting the
straight of law himself. The town
hasn't published IL compilation OF the
city ordinances since 1917, Since
then. as many more ordinances have
been passed, written up, posted, torn
down and forgotten. Many former
laws have been repealed, modified or
changed in some other way, and it
has been too difficult for anybody to
remember what the city's laws urc,
or to even think about ii.
The ancient pamphlet of the city's
laws have been obsolete for such a
period that the City Council no long
cr thinks of keeping copy on the
table at its meetings In fact, when
a point came M some time ago. the
souncil disturbed the Chief Of Police
who was visiting the meeting, and
had him waste Il good half hour hunt
ing up a copy.
Since the ordinances were pub
lishcd, various public local laws af-
fUctiug Elizabeth City have gone i'll
to effect. But these laws arc pub
lishcd in heavy law books not always
available for the average citizen and
seldom TO be found outside of the
Offices of Il few Of the practising at
torncys. Even the lawyers arc not
so we'll posted on the laws Of Eliz-
abCtb City AS they arc on the gen
cral laws Of the state.
With the passing Of each month,
the Elizabeth City ordinances be-
come harder to find. If the city
should take Il notion to publish its
laws, there is going to be a big Job
for somebody to hunt them up. And
if the task falls on somebody to
whom this duty already belongs. then
that somebody is going to lose pa
ticncc and ask for a raise in his sal
AIRY.
If ignorance of the law were a
crime in itself then most of the pco'
pie in Elizabeth City would be on
their way to jail.

LINKS GOLDEN GATE
WITH DISMAL SWAMP
Elizabeth City Boy Makes New Am.
atOur Radio Receiving
Record

The newest amateur record for
radio receiving in this city was made
Monday evening when Camden
Blades listened in on the orchestra
of the Magnavox Company at Oak
land. Cal, five miles from San Fran
cisco. and entertained his friends
with music from the Golden Gate,
more than $500 miles from Eliza
beth City.
This is the best record for dis
tancc known to the radio fans Of
Elizabeth City, and is the farthcst
away this station has been heard.
Bryan Vcnters has often heard from
broadcaSting stations in Havana,
Cuba, and nightly talks from towns
in Texas arc enjoyed by both Ven
tiers and Ray Kramer.
On the same night, Young Blades
listened in on Schenectady, Pitts
burgh. Chicago, Detroit, st. Louis,
Buffalo, Troy. New York City, Phil
adelphia, Davenport, Atlanta and
Norfolk.
Needless to say, the radio is Civ
ing him much satisfaction. The
Blades family being of the Prcsby-
terian denomination, were somewhat
delighted Sunday night when they
: heard the services of one of The
largest Presbyterian churches in
Pittsburgh from beginning TO bene-
/ dictiop.
( With the opportunity TO hear the
best talent in The country, the ques-
( tion comes up as to whether Eliza
beth City is going to take advantage
Of it. You bet! New radio sets are
being installed weekly and the boys
who are lucky enough to have them
are staying home nights. And they
arc entertaining their friends with
free music. The cost of operating
the radio receiving set is less thar
( two cents IN hour.
/ Since cooler weather came, SO thal
there is less electrical disturbance
in the air, Elizabeth City folks have
been hearing radio at its best.
There are upwards of 100 broad
casting stations in the country
These are sending out free music
speeches, sermons and other enter.
tainmcnt nightly. The most of these
stations are maintained at enormous
expense by manufacturers of radio
receiving sets i'll order to sell their
equipment; by large colleges and by
the big metropolitan newspapers.
1t is the only entertainment a fel
low can get without paying admis.
sion.
