THIRD PARTY
TALK
Hitherto nobody's suggested the
possibility of third party victory
next November. That's what is be-
ing suggested in Washington now,
Not a mere throwing of the presi-
Dental choice into the House of
Representatives, but a third party
victory at the polls. It's the con-
sensus of opinion at the capital that's
between the two old line parties,
there's little to choose.
TOO LATE
March 10 is past and the in
come tax isn't cut. March IL Pres
ident Coolidge asked Congress to
reduce it rs per cent. Too late to
head off the next payment, answer
ed Congress. And Senator Harri-
son, Representative Garner and 9th
ers criticized the president for not
asking sooner. AS if anybody had
to wait to be told by the president
that everybody wants the tax cut.

said Means, everybody who runs for
offices, is investigated before

to bring the carols to public atten-

the singing of the charming old Yule-

all too infrequent and the general

carolers in their picturesque red

currents. But it expends this energy
when its equilibrium is broken by at

Sometimes the large bird merely
uses the vibration of small wing

is hardly noticeable. The condor is un-
able to sustain itself without wing mo-

AMATEUR GOLF
CHAMPIONSHIP
PLAYED 500 N
Competition Will Be Stiff
For Many. of the
Old Timers
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug Ia Watch
out for the Youngsters this year in
the amateur golf championship,
which will be played next month at
Philadelphia.
The competition is going to be
stiffer for some of the old timers
than ever before. Francis Ouimet,
Jesse Guilford, "Chick Evans, and
Bob Gardiner are going to find it no
rounds, as they always were wont to
do.
Jess Sweetser and Max Marston
have taken the cup successively the
past two years, with the veterans
closely punched in the final brack-
ets
This year there is considerable
crop of youngsters who warrant con
sideration.
j. b. Crookston, who captained
Penn State s golf team, is one to
be reckoned with Crookston de-
feated Marston, amd Fownes, anoth
er formidable golfer, in play for the
Pennsylvania State championship.
James Manion is another. This
youth is rated as one of the best
match players in the middle west.
Recently he beat ''Chicko Evans
for the western amateur title.
Classed as Veterans
Bobby Jones, who must be classed
us veteran, although little more
than youngster, will have his
work cut out for him if he survives
the early rounds.
Play this year will be over the ex-
cellent course of the Merton Cricket
club. In conformity to the current
idea of what modern golf course
Should be like, the holes will be
long, dong holes.
This factot, Il omparatively new
one in golf, works out in favor of
the newcomers. The youngsters
have the strength and stamina.
Ouimet and Evans tire more east
ly. They play as good golf today
as when in their golfing prime, but
they can't sock 'em as far, without
extra effort. And in the amateur
championship, with a course mea-
suring around 1000 yards, the condi-
tions of play requiring a couple of
rounds daily for the better part of
II week, strength is a mighty i'm
portant factor
The kids hit 'em miles off the
tee, without effort. The veterans
make the extra effort, and then are
hard put to hold their own. This
is not true in every instance, be-
cause Bobby Jones still has his full
strength, and Jesse Guilford was
still the "siege gun - when the
crowding in of "A new crop of kids
made him a veteran.
But the modern tendency towards
longer courses is pointing to the serv
ing of youth, unless, as many hope,
we get a lighter golf ball, with a
correspondingly- longer carry.
