Five Year Old Is Coming Champion
 Golf Player

Another Gene Sarazen" is being groomed in the person of Thomas Murphy, Jr., age five, of this city. Junior, as Thomas is called, swings a mean golf club and although but five, made Beards1ey Parks new nine hole putting course yesterday in 36. Of course Junior gets his gol1ng ability from Papa Tom, who plays a. fair game himself. So persistent was Junior in wishing to learn the game that his father purchased a set of small clubs. He has been practicing, under the tutelage of his father and has acquired a stance which may be envied by many of the people who play, and play at the game.
 Junior has started on the right road to making a golf player of himself. but since he is quite too young as yet, has not made up his mind whether he will become a letter carrier like his dad or the National Open Champion, when he grows up- If dad has any thing to do with shaping the destiny of Junior, he will be carrying Juniors bag, acting as his caddy in future tournaments, rather than the mail bag for Uncle Sam.

Creat0re's Band To Give Concerts
 At Savin Rock

The supreme attraction of the mu- sical world is announced for Savin Rock for all next week, afternoons and evenings, in the person of Crea- tore and his famous band Thou sands of people were entertained week ago by D'Avino, and now comes the incouparab1e Creatore with his intense individuality and his dynamic leadership. Creatore's band is com
 posed of 50 artists, artists whom Creatore has moulded into one gigan- tic team of harmony.
 For colorfu1 playing, there is no
 band in the universe to compare with Creatore's. No conductor who has yet appeared on the concert stands in America has been able to get the sounds of musical thunder, the amaz-
 ing variations of rythn, the force and
 discrimination in playing a program, that Creatore can get. You will hear be soothed by most sympathetic
 melody, then suddenly shot into a ter rife, smashing tumu1t of rnuSic-that
 is Creatore, the Creatore that nobody yet has been able to duplicate. After
 a number or two, you will be looking
 for the unusuai-you will anticipate
 the sudden and amazing changes. Creatore has been termed the most inspiring leader, and his band the
 most impressive of all similar bands. His reputation among the leaders of big concert bands needs no introduc-
 tion. Throughout the United States
 and also in Europe, his appearance
 means instant interest. People who
 hear him insist tha this band does not follow the printed score, but are led on and on by his own magnetic personality, a personality which lea ds each instrument of the 50 along with him. Creatore is original in effects and reading-there is no other band playing the exact style that he does. With Creatores band comes Miss Della Samoloff, soprano, a beautiful young lady who has captured past audiences by storm. She is a most likely successor to such artists as Nor dica and Raisa, and one of the most
 prominent dramatic sopranos on tour
 in the United States today.
 All the famous pieces of Gounod, Verdi, Rossini, Mascagni, Handel, Boito, Wagner, Mozart, Chopin, Bee thoven and Pussini are on the pro- grams each day during the week, in- terspersed with more modern popular
 numbers and solos. Such a musical treat is unusual, and Savin Rock is
 again preparing to handle thousands of people each day and each evening. The concerts will be held daily at 3 D. m. and D. nl., starting Monday. l Creatore will close his Savin Rock
 engagement on Sunday, August 6.
 There will be no charge for admis-
 sion to any of the concerts, and the Connecticut Go. is arranging for suf- | fcient extra service to amply take care of the crowds. Don't forget the l time and place.

CENTENARIANS SOON

By DAVID M. CHURCH,

London, July z9.-Centenarians will be commonplace in the next genera tion, for the children of today are far better and finer than the children Henry Dwight Chapin, American child specialist, whose work is attracting considerable attention in London.
 CT don't see why ever oT,dinary per son should not live to bt a centena- rial" Dr. Chapin said.
 "If we give babies the right start hundredth birthdays in the next gen. eration will not be the sensation they are today.
 lower animals live five times the pc riod it takes for their bones to de- ve1op.
 ''it takes human being 20 years for full bone growth, and on this natural basis the average healthy life should be about 100 years.
 ''The reason to few people live a century is principally because Of the social environment of the first five years of their lives. Those are the most important years.
 ''Heredity is blamed for a good deal but I believe the first five years of social environment make stronger determining factor than heredity,
 During the early plastic stages the temper around it,
 "The subconscious mind is at work and will probably break out in the conscious mind in later yearn" ficfency in children will do much to prolong the life of the human race, Dr. Chapin believes
 "It isn't work that kNls,'' the doc tor said, "it is worry.

 When "Pussyfoot'' Johnson arrived in England he attracted the widest at tention and probably his return to this land of thirst has caused more comment than the arrival of any American pilgrim sincd the time some years ago when the first contln- gent of American "Doughboys" set foot on English soil.

They fear ''Punssyfoot'' and the newspapers have given long and blatant editorials that they will have none of his meddl1ng, and there have been some rather pointed remarks with regard to American attempts to force American reforms down those English throats which are now moistened by bever- ages of alcoholic content.
