African Caddies
Expert at Col

NEW YORK. (PNS)-Native can
didates in South Africa became ex-
pert golfers with improvised clubs
made of heavy iron wire bent at the
business end into the correct lie. The
club head is a short piece of iron pipe.
The grip is made of old rags or cloth
wrapped with fine wire.
With only one club of this crude
nature, Joseph Kuzwayo, native
caddie at Bluemfontein club, won a
caddies' competition by playing a
nine-hoe course measuring 5000
in Al strokes. David Bogey for the
yards in "A strokes. David DOGGY
for the nine holes is 38.
In most instances the native cad
dies turn in better scores than do the
players who carry the regular assort7
ment of drivers and irons.
The secret of this remarkable skill
in golfing is that the native boys
play the game from the time they
can walk; they possess fine natural
swings and, having only the one
home made club, learn to use it to
perfection.
Visitors often are asked to the
Bluemenfontein club to watch these
native caddies play. A distinguished
visitor from London and an Ameri-
can golf fan recently were guests of
the club and when they watched the
caddies play for their enjoyment
frankly told the members of the club
that it would be profitable to them to
have the caddies instruct them on the
mastery of golfing.

Howers-R osenbloom
Box Draw in Storm

CHICAGO. = Tiger Flowers and
Make Rosenbloom fought ten rounds
to a draw in the windup of the Fourth
of July fight card at the White Sox
Park. @
The first eight rounds were fought
in steady rain, which failed to slow
up either boxer They started fast,
neither paying much attention to box
ing and both putting plenty of power
into their punches.
The slippery condition of the can
vas bothered Flowers considerably.
He lost his balance more than once
and in the last round, just before the
gong, fell on his back. In his efforts
to retain his balance, one of his feet
struck Rosenbloom, flooring him.
The only Touchdown of the fight
came in the sixth round when Flew
ers went down after a hard right to
the chin, but he was up without a
count.

Seventeen years ago a film studio
was an open platform, where the
company worked only when the
sun was shining.
The company business manager
signed all checks, handled all puI.
chases, served as production man

'sprops.'s
THE director wrote his own script.
Il. indeed. he used a script at all.
ANY player might be leading
man one day, an extra the next and
& prop boy the third. without any
change in salary.
The same troupe Of players made

$4,000 GIFT ROUTS POVERTY
FROM CONFEDERATES' HOME
Will of Hattie Belle James Filed in New
York-The Star Gives Veterans
Good Tidings.

With only a single floor Of its home
at 1922 Vermont avenue as a last line
Of defense against the onslaughts of
poverty, but still too proud to ask for
aid, the Confederate Veterans Asso-
citation of the District of Columbia
yesterday received news Of $4,000
godsend.
The news was contained in a dis
patch to The Star from New York
stating that the association had been
left $4,000 under the will of the late
Hattie Belle James Of that city. The
will was filed for probate Friday.
No word of the bequest had reached
officials of the association until they
were notified by The Star. DR.. G.
Wythe Cook. chairman of the board
Of trustees of the home, although ill,
sent word that he could hardly believe
such good fortune was true. DIR. Cook
said he knew Mrs. James.
Came i'm Time.
Mrs. Esther N. Emmart, superin-
tendent Of the home, read the dispatch
over and over and then pointed to the
walls from which the paper was peel
ing in great strips. and said: You
can see it came just in time"
The house shows the effects Of
many years Of just making both ends
meet. The wallpaper is old, faded

and worn. But the portraits Of Rob
ert E. Lee and Stonewan Jackson and
Jefferson Davis look down on the
bare, hard benches in the meeting
room out of frames that are freshly
gllded and spotlessly clean, and there
is not a speck Of dust on the crossed
Stars and Bars above their heads.
Over the door the Stars and Stripes
wave defiance at poverty.
Poor and Proud"
Only the first floor is left to the few
veterans Of the lost cause who meet
there now and then. All the rooms
on the upper oorS are rented out eX-
cept two. In one Of these a single
Confederate lives with his memories.
The other is Mrs. Emmart's.
Were poor and proud" Mrs. En-
mart said, like all Southerners.'
Five minutes after she had been told
Of the bequest she was making plans
to turn the old house into a real home
for the veterans. New wallpaper, new
rugs, new furniture will replace the
old, and the survivors of the armies Of
Lee and Stonewall Jackson will have
the whole big house all to themselves.
Then the little gray.haired lady
stopped and looked anxious.
Suppose there is some mistaken"
she said.
