There is saying among profes-
sional players which Jim Barnes once
quoted to me. whimsically:
"Hagen's in the rough today-he's
going to win"
Which. translated, is wonderful
tribute, because 1t mes ms that Walter
IL at his best when in trouble.
Instances In which Walter has
proved his courage are legion. How
ever, to me, none is 80 remarkable as
that recorded on the seventeenth
green at Olympia Fields, Chicago,
when he was playing the thirty.flfth
hole OF his historic 40.hole struggle
with Leo Diegel in the third round Of
the 1925 Professional Golfers Asso-
citation championship.
Hagen Was In Danger.
When Walter and Leo came up 10
the seventeenth tee Walter was two
down with two to go. 1t seemed high
ly probable that Hagen. who had won
title in 1924. at French Lick, wa
about to be dethroned as king of the
professionals at match play.
With victory almost within his
grasp. Leo skidded and then recov.
cred himself. BY SO doing. he confront
ed Hagen with as nerve.racking a test
as ever was evolved in champion
ship contest.
Hagen drove beautifully down the
fairway and placed his second shot
hole high, Is feet TO the left Of the
cup. But Leo. after A satisfa ctory
drive. was short on his second. his
ball dropping into a ditch short of
the green. from which he barely sue
ceeded in reaching the edge OF the
green with his third.
Leo needed a 30-foot putt for par 4.
II he could get 1t he was likely to
halve the hole. for Hagen's 1S.foot
putt was a nasty one over a side-hill
surface, but who expected him to
get It?
Hagen naturally felt that the hole
was his. However in the twinkiinR
Of an eve. the situation was entirely
changed. Leo ran down his long putt
for 4.
Made Play Perfectly.
Against any other golfer than
Hagen 1t was 1O0.to.1 bet that Leo
had halved the hole and won the
match. How many players do you
know who could have had the least
vestige Of calm left after such an
ordeal? Not many. But Hagen
putted with the relentlessness Of fate.
He was compelled to play feet
off the line 10 conquer the side hill
roll and he had To do 1t firmly. but
he sank his ball for birdie 3.
Everything depnded on one play and
he made that play perfectly.
Why? Well. loss to Diegel would
have deprived Walter OF the only
championship In his possession. II
isn't in the Hagen scheme Of things
not to hold some sort OF title. In
the end he downed Leo and went on
to capture the r. G.. A. championship
once more.
Many will say that Hagen had no
nerve. 1 think differently. l con-
ceive that he has lots OF them. but
that the tauter they are stretched
the more precisely does his musclar
system react to them. This incident
would seem to prove the case.
From a psychological viewpoint, a
story told to me by Gil Nichols.
Hagen's playing partner in Florida
last Winter. is more revealing.

both men got fours. Leaving the
green, Hagen remarked:
Look at mellow short l was on
my second. Really, there's no use
playing that way when you consider
how the green is built. A fellow
ought to stick his ball right up to
the hole--it would hold"
Now everything that "the Hage"
said was true But 1t also is true
that although the green had an ex-
ceptionally marked slope upward at
the rear its surface was hard and
slippery, Many a ball hit hole-high
bounced over the banked-up rear
portion during this tournament.
That was why most players put
their ball short on their second shots.
g. In the afternoon. coming to the
teuth, Hagen obtained the longer
shot, making Farrell the first to play
through the green. Johnny played
hole high. went over the green and
took a 5. Hagen again played snort,
collected his par 4 and won the hole.
1t helped in his final victory.
Yes. the old boy is heady. And
he is matchless in his courage. He'd
have to be, or he would not have
made his wonderful record.
1t is fact that Bobby Jones aver
age in the national open over num-
ber of years has been lower than
Hagen's. But, matchless golfer
though he is. Bobby cannot show re-
suits that exceed those attained by
Hagen. There's no way, either, OF
discounting Walters victory over the
amateur in the South last Winter.
Walter. on past performance alone,
must be rated one of the leading
contenders for the 1926 open cham
pionship. Ny guess is that, not
having held the title in seven years,
he is going to put everything he has
into an attempt to capture 1t next
July. This regardless of what he
does in the British open.

A Family Affair

The telephone family" is truly
what the name implies, since there
are many family groups employed in
this great service utility.
Sisters in the telephone company
are more numerous simply because
there are more girls employed, but
the cases of fathers and sons or
brothers are well represented in many
OF the offices throughout the country.
In the beginning there were four
men engaged in the telephone bust
ness. They were Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor; Thomas A. Wat
son, the first telephone engineer
Gardner G. Hubbard, lawyer and
business manager, and Thomas San
ders, business man and the fnancier
of the enterprise. From this small
nucleus OF telephone workers, in fifty
years, the Bell System employees
nave grown into great army. A
census of Bell System employees, not
including Western Electric employees,
taken in December, 1925, showed that
there were then 293, 4S0 persons en-
,ployed in the System
Notwithstanding the rapid growth
of the System, requiring the services
OF many new employees, the average
length of service of all employees was
nearly five years; more than 25 per
cent. of the male employees have been
with the company more than ten
years, and about 43Aa per cent. have
served the Bell System more than five
years.
But the average length of service
does not seem any time at all to the
2S3 telephone veterans, still active,
who were in the Bell Telephone serv-
ice away back in 1885 when the
BostonNew York telephone line was
the greatest achievement in long dis
lance transmission. They are the
survivors of some 500 employees who
were employed at that time
Ranking next in length of service
were 1875 employees who had served
the Bell System for thirty years or
more, who have seen the System grow
from approximately 100000 telephones
to more than 100000 Bel[owned
telephones. Another group of tele-
phone employees in point of length
of service is comprised of 1852 in
dividuals who have twenty-one or
more years of service to their credit.
All are classed as pioneers and are
eligible for membership in the
Pioneers of America, a Bell System
organization, national in scope, with
local chapters, designed to preserve
the traditions of the Bell Systems
founders and to inspire loyalty and
devotion in the public service,
The fact that there are now 1907
900 more employees on the Bell Sys.
tenn payrolls than there were seven
years ago is indicative of the growth
of the System to meet the constantly
increasing requirements Of the public
service.

RECORDS SHOW MARYLAN-
DERS ARE LONGER LIVED
Than They Were A Couple of
Generations Ago.

Comparing the human machine,
which is usually worked to its fullest
capacity every day without more at
tention than is necessary to its inner
works, to the automobile that is
treated with so much more considera-
ton, DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of
the State Department of Health, adj
vises every groWn-up to go to his
family doctor for complete going
over at least once year; oftener, if
necessary. And as this is the season
in which the question Of gifts looms
large, he suggests that each individ
ual who has not had such a checking
up recently, make present of such a
health examination, to himself, before
the close of the holiday season.
"The records of the State Depart
ment of Health, show" DR.. Fulton
said, chat our people in Maryland
live ten to fifteen years longer than
their grandparents did. But they al
so show that the greater number of
our deaths are due, in the white popu-
lation, to what we call the diseases
of middle age-heart disease and
other diseases of the circulatory sys-
tenn, diseases of the kidneys and can
Ger. In the colored population, tu-
'berculosis has first place as cause
of death and after that come the
diseases of middle age.
"In the majority of these diseases,
early recognition of the menacing
condition, with prompt treatment in
some instances, or with greater atten-
tion to the rules of hygienic living
in others, as directed by the family
physician, would mean the prolonging
of many lives for much longer per-
iods of health and usefulness.
"Grown-ups are willing to call in
a doctor after they are seriously i'll,
but they are slow to realize the i'm
portance of going to the doctor while
they are apparently well in order
that they may stay well. One of the
duties of the State Department of
Health is to protect the people of the
counties of Maryland from the catch
ing diseases, as far as possible. And
it works increasingly toward that end.
But when it comes to these conditions
of middle age, the responsibility falls
back upon the individual. All that
the Department can do, is to urge
every grown-up to go to his or her
doctor for the same sort of checking
up of the human machine that he OF
she has given at regular intervals to
his or her car, Such an examination
should be made at least once year
