Would-be champions for practice
rounds preliminary to the Western
Open Golf championship, which begins
Thursday.
Amidst the galaxy of golfers was
another sort of former champion. for
Jack Dempsey has been playing golf
at Olympia Fields nearly every day
1t was different golf from Dempsey s
hundred and more strokes that the
aspirants for Walter Hagen's title
have displayed over the bluffs and
through the woods.
Hagen, having scored a marvellous
Sc in the third round last year al
indianapolis to win with 279. has also
to his record a 67 for the fourth course
at Olympia, and Harry Cooper of Los
Angelse, who tailed Il Sc in the same
round last season. but still finished
9 strokes behind Hagen in a tie for
second place with Gene Sarazen, has
some sub par scores at Olympia to
his credit
Gene Sarazen, who offered to buy
Olympia Fields two years ago at the
professionals championship for $4,000,
600 for New York syndicate, is also
ready to try his clubs on the courses
be pronounced the best i'm the world
The National and Canadian Open
champion, Tommy Armour, will get
under way tomorrow.
Through the playing of the P. G.. A
tourney two years ago, the coming
Western Open and next years Ma
tional Open, Butterfield Creek. which
twists through all four links like the
famous Meander, promises to become
as famous as the Swilican of st. An

The golfers must cross Butterfeld

and play beside it on four fairways or
greens. On No. course, where most
of the tourney will be played. the

them twice. and parellels four of them
In addition to narrowing players on
the other two Olympia Fields courses
Butterfield furnishes water hazards for
Flossmoor and Idlewild, two nearby
clubs.
Dangers do not end with the creek
for every green is guarded by severe
traps, Is fairways are lined with
woods, while there are many elevated
greens and precipitous bluffs to puz
zle the golfer. The fairways are in
excellent condition and the creeping
bent green's are uniformly perfect, but
treacherous with undulations.

BLOW TO OLYMPICS SEEN
IN FRENCH SOCCER STEP

LONDON P).-The recent decision
of the Olympic International Commit
tee and the International Foot Ball
Federation in Paris, allowing players
in association foot ball on the Conti-
nent to receive payment from their
employers for time lost while playing
in matches, Is regarded by some Brit
ish sports authorities as a blow to the
historic amateur status of the Olym-
pic games.
The action of the authorities in
Paris, say British foot ball authorities,
may mean that once again Great Brit
ain will not send an association team
to the Olympics. The foot ball asso-
citation here always has maintained
that an amateur may not receive
wages for the number of hours during
which he is absent from employment.
Fears are also expressed that the
Olympic committee will extend it's new
resolution to other sports.

~ EHTND the scenes of a national
- tennis classic one is apt to en-
counter incidents as rich in hui
IL man interest as they are en-
tightening.
There was that little drama in the
dressing room of the West Side Club.
for instance. during the recent wom-
ans national championships.
Joan Fry of England was the chief
'dramatis persona" 1t was on the
opening day of the tourney. Miss
Fry's match had been called. but she
had not arrived at the marquee. The
popular theory that stars often arrive
late for their engagements or matches
because of temperament, or a desire
for dramatic entrance, received
fresh impetus as the minutes dragged
by and still no Joan.
Being one of the favorites, she
would be late" murmured impatient
fans
But had they been able to see the
very much distressed young ladv in
the locker room of the club who was
begging that a strong man be found
at once to break the lock on her
locker-which refused to yield TO the
ordinary persuasion of a key-they
would have understood that her de-
i'y was uIuCH IIlOI6 ulStdlSIuI TO nef
than to those who awaited her ap-
pearance. That locker contained all
of her tennis rackets, tantaliZingly
out of reach
No novice playing in her first tour
nament could have been more gen.
uinnely concerned over inconvenience
ing the committee than was Miss
Fry. Her pretty young face was the
picture of woe as she walled, '"They
asked me to be there in 10 minutes
and it has been nearly 20-can't we
do something?"
Something" was done as soon as
a man could be called to the rescue
with sundry implements familiar to
a certain class of gentlemen who spe-
cialize in second-stOry jobs. The re-
bellious lock was removed and Miss
Fry clasped her rackets tightly in her
arms and hurried to the marque to
make her apologies for being late.
An admirable spirit of generosity
and kindness exists among the rank
ing stars, which proves that they are
not the hard-boiled lot sometimes pic
tured with whom the game is merely
business-and no time to waste on
the small fry"
OIlC VI bilC llLl1e IHCiueIlS
of its kind which occurred during
the recent national event at Forest
Hills illustrates the point: A COM
paratively unknown player, one of
the unfortunate 80 who retired from
the tourney on the opening day, met
Eleanor Goss in the dressing room
Of the clubhouse afterward. She
confided to the rangy veteran that
her greatest ambition had been to
win her first match in order that
she might play her in the second
round-and expressed her deep dis
appointment at not making the
grade"
I'm sorry, too" said Miss Goss,
"but we can play anyway-are you
remaining all week?'
The lesser light admitted that she
was, and Miss Goss insisted upon ar
ranging for match with her as soon
as she should have the opportunity.
And there was no mistaking her sim

Three Helena Men Protest
Vanzetti-Sacco Execution

Protest of the scheduled execution
of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zettl, under sentence in Massachu-
sets to die on a charge of murder,
last night was telegraphed to Gov
ernor Fuller of that state by three
Helena citizens.
The two men were convicted of
staying a postal employee during a
mail robbery in 1920 and the case has
been in the courts for the last several
years, having attracted international
attention.
Those who signed the protest sent
from Helena are Constable Harry
Bryant, Arthur Hobson, an engineer.
and J. Franklin Goodman, manager
of Goodman's cigar store. The mes
sage to the Massachusetts governor
follows:
extend clemency to SAGE and Van
zettl. Do not encourage fascism and
hysteria and popular ideas of convict
ing the foreigners. Cambridge is not
all of America. Montana workmen
protest the execution of Sacco anC
Vanzetti to no good purpose"
The Helena men said they acted as
individuals in sending the plea t.
Governor Fuller.
During the last few years, variou,
Montana organizations are under
stood to have contributed to the Sac
co and Vanzetti defense fund.
