 well, it took a Birdie three to beat you" said the father with a proud smile" And from all appear ances it will be the last time I'll ever be able to do it.

Southern Championship Af-
 fair Will Begin Over East
 Lake Course Tuesday

Virtually every low handicap amateur golfer in the south is ex- pected to be on hand here Tuesday morning when Horace F. smith, vet eran president of the organization, starts the first pair away in the twenty first annual tournament for amateur championship honors of the Southern Golf association.
 Former southern champions, title holders of various states as well as players holding city honors have in- dicated their intention of partici- pating. Perry Adair of Atlanta, 1921 champion, and other leaders of the Georgia contingent have indicated readiness to match skill against Pol lak Boyd. Ewing Watkins and other Chattanoogans and Jack Wenzler of Memphis.
 Chris Brinke, last years Kentucky brilliantly in the tournament in At lanta last summer. also is expected to be among the possibilities.
 Younger Element Arises.
 A younger element that is ex- pected to give the older heads trou- ble this year has sprung up since Robert N. Baugh. Jr., of Birming- ham. probably will carry the center of interest. He set q dazzling pace for some of the south's leading pro- fessionals in the Georgia-Alabama open tournament which was played over this course Friday and Satur- day, and if he keeps up the form displayed in that compe tition, he promises trouble for his opponents. Other members of the younger play CTS include Jack and Files Crenshaw of the University of Alabama. who recently showed great form in the Southern Intercolleg giates sconference's first golf tournament played over the Cherokee club course at Knox vile.
 GOdchaux Coming.
 Frank GodchauX, bringing with him much improved game, will be among the representatives from New Orleans, while Mike Thomas and others of the Nashville contingent again will make bid for the title. Both GodchauX and Thomas have shown in past performances that they are to be reckoned with God chauX hits tremendous tee shot, and observers of his game recently have noticed good effects from the seasoning he has acquired in play during the last several months, no- tably in the southern open at Nash vile last September. Recent rains have put the Roebuck course in fine condition and the contestants will find a course that will require their utmost in golf. from tee to green.
 Par for the course. which is 6,020 yards in length. is 70. Few players ever. Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.

|SUMP CLARK'S GREAT HOME RUN INV OPENING
 FRAME BEATS CHICKS
Stewart Never ReIinquishes One Run Lead BarOnS Give Him In First Inning

A slender tension wire will stand Up under strain far longer than the bulkier. inferior hemp rope, they say, and maybe at the bottom of that fact may be found the reason for Walter Stewards success as Baron pitcher. Saturday Walter was subjected to nine innings of the greatest strain pitcher can en- dure-that of pitching to a hard hitting team with only one or two runs separating him from his foes and Stewart stood up under the bur den manfully. He didn't crack, and the Barons won the third and de- cisive game of their series with the Chicks. The score was to 0.
 Walter Stewart is not the hefti- est of the Baronial hurlers. in fact. he is probably the smallest. But. like the slender tension wire, he has wiry strength that enables him to stand up under heavy strains that the bulkier inferior hemp rope" pitch CT is unable to withstand. It was hard on stewart, holding those Chicks at bay. and scattering seven hits out over nine innings in such man ner that not one run resulted. But Stewart responded nobly. and by his victory, won for himself deeper niche in the hearts of the home town fans.

 A Great Day For Stuffy.
 It was great day for another Stewart of the Barons-a Stewart every bit as fine tension wire as his namesake, Walter. the pitcher. John Franklin tSruffy) Stewart. serving his first day as real manager of the Birmingham baseball club, was putting his soul into his work. and hoping that somehow he could make good on his first day as big boss of .lhe team he has served so well for three years
 And Stuffy made good on that starter. It was he who acted as the pivot for a lightning double play in the ninth-when the Chicks had two men on base and single

CLEAN f. O.P.SWEEP
 IN THE FIFTH WARD
(Continued from First Page)

this is the first time in their memory that ward has been allowed to stand entirely without candidates. The fifth ward is practically the only district in the city that is politically doubtful. The first four wards in- variably elect republican nominees while the sixth ward is the backbone of democracy In the fifth ward, two of the present councilmen are re- publicans and two are democrats. It had been planned to conduct an active campaign to elect Egan and Sikora and the endorsement of l'aJewsfi wac a strategic move to bring about sucn election.
 Pajewski enjoys perhaps the widest following of any council member the fifth ward has turned out in many year, political experts say. In view of the turn that the fifth took last year in Mayor Paonessa's favor, it is believed that a strong democratic vote might have been registered this year but it was feared that -.-y would wish to vote for Pajewslli. As there is rarely any ticket splitting in the fifth ward. the powers feared that Pajewski would draw the majority vote to the republican side. Offering chance for the voters to register ons for Pajewski and still vote democra- tic, they had hoped for another suc- cess this year.

Alderman PajeWski May Seek
 Olice Of Mayor Pro Tem.

Indication that there will be q scramble for the office of mayor pro tenn. this month Is seen In the an- nouncemcnt that friends of Alderman Peter J. Pajewski of the fifth ward are advocating his entrance into the race for that poEition, It is practical ly certain that Alderman John r. Gill of the second ward will be a candi- date for reelection. while Cornelius J. Dehm, whose election as first ward alderman is expected, will also be a candidate. MT. Dehm, former al- derman from the first, was mayor pro tenn. several years ago.
 Alderman Pajewski is assured of reelection, having been endorsed by both parties in his ward. He is the only candidate on the ticket for cleo tion next Tuesday who has the en- dorsement of both factions He has a good following in. the council and in q contest before the whole council would have not only a group of re: publican supporters, but would draw almost the entire democratic vote, it is reported by his followers.
 The alderman is silent on the re- ports that he will be candidate. but does not deny his aspirations to that office.

company was reported to have gone
 100 per cent in pledges.
 James s. North, director of the drive, explained about tomorrow be- ing Dime Day." an account of which
 Is carried in another column. In reply to a request from W. c. French, prin- cipal of the Central Junior High
 that his school be permitted to do something to help, MT. North said the banks were given to children the ages of to 12 only, Mir. French still in- sisted that, with the permission of the school authorities, his school wanted to help do something for the drive and was advised that some method would be divised whereby this could be done. MT. French offered, if the proper officials would get permission from the school department, to place q box in each room for contributions.
 People today are living in concen- tric circles, according to Rev, Samuel F.. -Fiske, of Berlin. who was the speaker of the day. Eight centuries before the Christian era, Mir. Fiske said. great prophet predicted that the time would come when every man would speak kindly of his neighbor. He said the prophet had a vision of a time when men would substitute unse eIashness and zeal for the good of the community instead of the sordid selfishness and personal ambitions of the world. While he said we have not yet achieved that goal we are on the way and New Britain in it's com munity drive has caught something of the spirit of the vision of the ancient prophet.
 J He said the average person lives within a small circle representing his home life, which is within larger circle of social life and friendship. Outside of this circle is the larger circle of business and community in- terests. He said the ideal life is that of the man who not only realizes his and duties to those of the inner circle but also of the outer cir cles and his neighbors in general
 He concluded by adding that the work of supporting the United Com munity corporation is not charity, but simply fulfillment of that vision when things shall be less selfish and an en- largement of the characters of the people.
 Tomorrow will be the last luncheon. Mr. North announced today that the drive will remain open until the $50,- GOO. is obtained, but that luncheons would cease tomorrow.
 The workers were entertained with a solo today by Mrs. Charles Bern stein.
