How Delaware Does the Job

PlOg AACAJ VI d Puy OACAdus
/, How Delaware Does the Job
"The State of Delaware has in
each county three public health
nurses and the county is divided
into three districts. Each nurse
keeps in constant touch with every
known midwife in her district, and
some are constantly finding addi-
tional unregistered midwives. This
State requires the registration of and
issuance of a license to all midwives
In order to secure this license, which
is renewed annually, each midwife
must attend conferences and live up
to the various rules and regulations
of the State Board of Health. 1t is
at this time that we constantly bring
to their attention the importance of
prompt and early return of the birth
postcard and of the actual certifi-
cate. This work has been carried
out with great intensity for the past
two years, and we feel that it has !
been productive of better than n 1e-
ty-tive per cent. registration of bir- |
tbs attended by midwivs, many of |
which were formerly unregistered.
Another means of securing bet
ter registration and one which is es-
pecially appreciated by the parents
for the issuance by the State De-
partment of Vital Statistics of a
birth certificate advising the parent
that a certificate of birth has been
received and filed in the Central Of
flee of Vital Statistics. These GER
titicates have been issued by the
State of Delaware, for the several
years past, to every mother imme-
diately following the receipt in the
Central Office of the certificate of
birth. We have found that as soon
as one child receives a certificate
hat we Immediately receive requests
iOr the issuance of a certificate for
he other children in the family.
During the past year alone the ,
Bureau of Vital Statistics has regis \
cred at least five hundred previous
births of all years from
919 to the present, following the n
equest of these certificates.

HAGEN PERCHED
HIGH IN GOLF
WORLD
By ROBERT e. HARLOW.

PASEDENA-oN-TH Fla
Feb. 5.-Walter Hagen today sits
firmly and serenely on top Of the
golfing world. Some folks call the
big match between the British AMI
the American open champion an
unofficial worlds championship hut
II this is an unofficial worlds
championship, where do they play
the official championship?
AS a matter Of fact, Hagen by
beating Walker won an undis-
puted position as the worlds great
est golfer. There have been times
when telegraph operators who han.
die much golfing copy have used
the brief form ''W-h.w-a" in flash
ing the results of open golf com.
petition In which the. American
home bred has been a starter.
Translated, it means, Walter
Hagen wins again"
Walter Hagen won yesterday from
Cyril Walker over the Bocca-C eiga
Golf and Country Club links in
Pasadena. 1t was the fourth an
nual worlds championship played
between the winners Of the two
major golf championships on both
sides of the Atlantic, the American
and the British open events.
Hagen practically broke the meet
ing up with q grand round Of 81
34-68 at the the Hialeah Club in
Miami, the day the contest started.
This round gave him a lead Of
eight holes, and from then on there

come. The only unfortunate pare
Of the thing was that Cyril Walker,
| the American open champion and j
| great golfer, was not himself dur
| ing this match, and that he never
| hit his proper stride and that be-
| side this the ball would not roll
| for him.
Hagen came here with an eight
4 hole lead, a wide enough margin to
assure him of winning, yet one Ct
the largest crowds to ever follow u
| match in Florida turned out to see
the champions in action.
It demonstrated that the golfing
public wants an annual game be-.
tween the winners Of the British
American championships and thai
such an event has become a fixture
on the golfing program.
/ It will soon become official, for
after all, the only thing that can
make any sporting event rank as
a worlds championship is when the
public is satisfied that the con-
testants are worthy of participant
ing in such match and II the
winners OF the British and Ameri-
can opens are not SO qualified, no
golfers are. Hagen u Q real world q

Walter Johnson Too
Modest, Writes
Tom Flaherty

In a letter to The Washington
Times today, Thomas F. Fla
herty, secretary of the Walter
johnson Testimonial Committee
which last fall collected funds
with which to purchase and pre-
sent Barney with a new car,
comments that Walter, in his
pitching years" now being pub
lished serially in this newspaper
omits a very flattering portion
of the inscription on the name
plate fixed to the dashboard.
Walters story says the, ir-
scription reads, ITO Walter
johnson, from his many friends, !"
while Mr.. Flaherty reminds the
wide, wide world that the en-
graved inscription actually reads,
ITO Walter Johnson-BASE-
BALLS GREATEST PITCHER
from his many friends"
It looks like Walter will have
to stand corrected.

Applies in Tennis, Too.

KUCH the same situation ex-
nv lists in tennis, for the past
AVA six years ruled in kingly
fashion by Bill Tilden. The sooner
Tilden retires or is disqualified,
the better it will be for the tennis
world. 1t is safe to say that there
is not a. single tennis player in
the world who really believes he
could defeat Tilden in any match
worth while.
Vincent Richards represents the
best among the younger players,
but he would be considerable of a
short-ender' if opposing the Phil
adelphian in a match Of moment.
AS soon as tennis players every
where realize that any one of
them may reach the top without
having to tackle that long, lanky
wizard, Tilden, before assuming
the crown, interest among the
topnotchers will wake up with a
wild hurrah. There will be q
burst Of life all down the line,
too, until many kids will begin
thinking about the championship.
Now it is doubtful if any kid is
thinking Of working his way up

With Jack Dempsey out Of the
way, there will be increased action
among the big boys, the ex-coaI
beavers, elevator repairers and
truck drivers. Each one Of them
will see before him the glory and
the gold accruing to the holder
Of the world title.
Tex Rickard will then have
plenty of opportunity to arrange
his tournaments. He will have
plenty of aspirants for the vacant
throne. 1t will take some time
before the dubs are hammered into
passivity, but out of the glad,
grand scramble viii emerge an
other champion of the world and
the smart young boxing writers,
here and there, will begin compar-
ing him with Jack Dempsey, much
to the latter's disparagement.
This is the history Of the ring.
The retirement of Benny Leon
ard, "for my dear mothers sake"
means increased activity among
the lightweights. For one thing,
the colored boys will come back TO
life. In 1917 Leo Johnson, dark
as charcoal, sailed through the col
ored lightweights. He was care
fully groomed for crack at
Leonard, who was hardly seated
upon his throne at the time.
Came then the night when Leo
tried his proves against the little
Jewish boy, Benny Leiner. All
Harlem was there. So was the
Bronnix. Leo passed away in the
first round and from that day to
this the colored lightweights have
prayed for fewer or more pounds.
They wanted nothing to do with
the great Benny Leonard.
For two years back no real
lightweight rival existed for Leon
ard. Lew Tender, generally called
a lightweight, lost his chance in
being talked out Of a VIC
tory and the championship. Pal
Moran, Of New Orleans, was a
pale, gathering flame. The others
are not worth mentioning. The
entire class suffered from having
Leonard riding on top. Now there
will be activity as the many
aspiring candidates head into the
fray.
