Hagen's Confidence
Plays Big Part
In His Game

Confidence in ines self is
what makes a champion. Take
Walter Hagen, for instance. IN
the British open he was quoted
by the layers of odds as a
10-to-1 shot. He went right out
to bet on himself at those odds.
It is said that he won $500 on
the wager. In spite of the fact
that some Of the longest hitters
in the game were in the British
open, the longest drive was 26S
yards. The strong wind and
the soft surface at Hoylake are
responsible for the absence Of
the usual tremendous drives.

BLUEBONNET APPEARS
FOR FIRST TIME IN
BROWNSVILLE SECTION
Texas Flower Now Grows
From Sabine to Rio

Brownsville, Tex. March 22.-The
Texas bluebonnet has reached the low

time within the memory of the oldest
residents bluebonnets this spring can
be found as far south as Brownsville
and Point Isabel. and large cluster.

were displayed in Brownsville Fri
day.
The bluebonnets have gradually been
working their way southwark. accord
ing to J. I. Canalcs, former Cameron
county representative in the Texas
Legislature, who states that in 1905.
the flower was very rare south of
San Antonio. Unlike the prairies of
North Texas. where blueb0nnets are
abundant in early spring. the prairies
of the lower coast country were bar
rem so far as the states flower was
concerned.
BY 1912 the seeds OF the bluebonnet
had been blown as far south as Kings
vile and Riviera, and few years lat
er the flower began to appear in the
fertile spots Of the sand belt nortl,
Of the Rio Grande valley. In 1916
a few of the flowers were noticed in
the Raymondville district of what is
now Willacy county. and they are
now gradually extending throughout
the valley.
The first specimens of the flower
ever seen in the Brownsville section
were found last spring. and this spring
there are many sections Of the valley
where the carpet Of bluebonnets will
rival that OF the North Texas prai-
ries. indicating that the state flower
Of Texas now covers the state from
the Sabine TO the Rio Grande. making
it in fact the flower Of Texas.
