Long before the appointed hour.
o'clock, hundreds of young and old
persons began assembling in the big
hall. Half an hour before the Zero
hour" the orchestra of the United
States Marine Band, under Second
Leader Arthur A. Whitcomb, entered
upon it's program of concert music.
AS the time for the beginning of the
contest neared, nearly every seat in
the Auditorium was occupied and
parents. relatives, friends and fellow
students of the contestants, and
thousands more of interested folk
who did not know any of the speak
ers, milled n drone of conversation
that seemed to ascend in waves to the
ceiling high above.
Promptly at o'clock the curtain
rose, and there was the initial "un-
folding" Of the last stage of the gigan-
tic project in which 2,000,000 high
school and secondary school students
had participated this year. Standing
before their respective chairs in
flank formation across the broad stage
were the seven best orators of seven
widely scattered regions of the coun-
try who were about to contend, each
in his own right, for, the national
championship.
The speakers were seated from left
to right in the order Of their appear
ance on the program. On the extreme
left was Carl T.. Albert, of McAlester
Okla, and next to him was "Aleck'
Loker Of Leonardtown. The third
youth in the row was DeLisle Craw

" HERE is one moment in
golf-one of greatest in the
history of the game-that
Willie Macfarlane would
like to live over, but he is
not so certain about wishing to ex-
perience again the grueling mo-
ments preceding it.
It was in 1925, at Worcester,
Mass, when the tall New Yorker,
who looks more like banker or
business man than a golfer, won
the national open championship in
a remarkable play-off with Bobby
Jones. Macfarlane says this was
his most thrilling encounter, put
he was too busy trying to beat the
Atlanta star to enjoy the thrill.
The end of the ~ holes play
found Bobby and Willie tied at
POI strokes. The morning round
of the play-off had failed to break
the tie. 1t was an excited gallery
that watched the rivals tee on for
the afternoon battle.
Honors continued even for the
first three holes. Then Jones
picked up a stroke when Macfar-
lane got into trouble on the fourth
and took a four on the par three
hole. Bobby gained another stroke
by shooting a birdie four on the
fifth and it looked as though the
youngster would walk away to vic.
tory when he annexed two more
strokes while the New Yorker re.
quired one more than par on the
eighth and ninth.
Four strokes in the lead on the
turn, Bobby saw Macfarlane I'M
hook such a dazzling game that he
lost by one stroke. Macfarlane
started with birdie two on the
tenth. The next two were in par

LONDON, June 10.--A woman, Mrs.
w. Scott, won a race against several
male rivals at Brooklands, the British
motor racing track, travelling at a
speed sometimes exceeding 100 miles
an hour. Her fastest lap was at 1892
miles an hour and the total distance
was II miles. ~
Mrs. Malcolm Campbell, wife of the
racing motorist, who hopes to beat
Mai. Segraves' 200-mile-an-hour rec
ord, also made her first appearance at
the wheel at this race meeting. She
finished fourth. Capt. Campbell ac-
companied his wife as mechanic.

TIME White Sox today were pain
fully aware of the fact that the
Yankees consider them Just
i another ball club" as the
first three games of the cur
rent four-game series would indicate
on the surface. Whatever Ray
Schalk's Chicagoans showed against
other American League clubs 1t has
been lacking in the first invasion of
New York.
The Hugmen overcame a three-run
lead in the sixth and seventh innings
yesterday and took their third straight
from the Sox, 8-3. Ted Blankenship
was master of the pitching situation
until the late barrage blasted him out
of the setting. Ray Merchant, for
merly of the Sox, hit a home run with
two on and Babe Ruth slapped out a
triple and then stole home.
Walter Johnson was no puzzle for
the Cleveland Indians and the Sena-
tors went down to IL defeat. 1t was
big Barney's" second defeat in sue
cessive starts. Washington failed to
score on George Uhle after the first
inning.
Rally Wins for Tigers.
Fothergilrs batting was the big fac
tor in Detroit'S "a win over Boston,
but the Tigers had to put over a four
run rally in the ninth to take the
game.

and won the third straight from st.

tack with four singles. Ernie Nevers
