HACENS FORM REVERSAL EXPLAINED
BY 0. b. KELLER.
For the Associated Press.


Once in a great while even coll
umnist may be pardoned for saying
he told you so, and Hagen's trt-
umph in the British open surely
offers such an opening II one ever
Is justified In taking It.
You may recall that not long ago
I suggested that with the Jones
iinx missing from the field at Sand
wich, Sir Walter might very well re-
sumo his habit of being British open
champion. Not that Bobby wins all
the national fixtures in which he
and Hagen both compete, but he has
won three of the ten.
After Walters Brobdingnagian
walloping by the giant Archie
Compston in their 72-hole match at
Moor Park a number of incautious
critics boldly declared that Hagen
was through for major competition.
Takes Opposite View.
I took the other view, specifically
for the Sandwich tournament, and
this suggests in turn a little dis
sertation on golfing form-perhaps
the least understood factor in sport.
My idea was that Compston could
not be expected to justify the opu-
lent opinion of many critics and
host of fans that his astounding
play at Moor Park ranked him au-
tomatically a hot favorite at Sand
wich. regarded those superb
rounds in the big match--67, 66 and
70-as marked handicaps in the
later event; Compston, I figured. was
carrying weight He must have been
at the very peak of his great game
at Moor Park. No golfer in the
world could be so good, or near so
good, in any important event within
the fortnight.
We may recall that where Bobby
Jones breezed through his qualifying
rounds at Sunningdale in the Brit
ish open of 1926 setting the inspir-
ing mark of 66 and 68, a week later
he was struggling with all his craft
and determination to travel 72-72-
1874 at st. Anne's.
Cannot Keep II Up.
So with Compston at Sandwich,
with slightly longer period for re-
cuperation. He was good enough to
stay level with Hagen In the quail
flying rounds at Sandwich, but Archie
was coming back and the Haig was
coming on. The Haig started at the
bottom Of his game and worked up
Compston, by reason Of his inten-
sive conditioning and marvellous
performance in the match. vas
starting perforce at the top. and he
had to come down.
To me Archie's display in the
British open in finishing a fine
third, only three strokes back Of
Hagen. was a performance as neri-
torious as Walters, though not pro-
ductive Of so much glory. I vas
surprised by the steadiness the big
fellow showed and his determined
and capable play against the handi-
cap Of having passed the peak.
A funny story is going the rounds
in Europe have heard that Hagen
deliberately went easy in the
Compston match to corral a wager
Of $4,000 on himself to win the
British opener, as one version has
it. 10 finish ahead Of Cor1pgton. A
pretty tale, but not precisely credit
able or credible.
Is CuriousIy Wise.
! believe, knowing Hagen as do,
that I have his own viewpoint in
this regard
Hagen. I take It, felt he could not
train hard for the match and be In
top shape for the championship.

Wild geese, like the human race.
should be allowed to select their
own mates when they are being rails
ed in captivity. Unlike some human
beings, however, they remain mated
for life and manage their family af-
fairs in a competent way. Family
loyalty is so strong among wild
geese that if one or two of a family
are incapable of flying off to other
places, all of them will usually re-
main. They are somewhat tempera-
mental about selecting their first
nesting site, but in succeeding years
they will boldly select and hold their
chosen home, resorting whenever
possible to site used by them in
former years. These birds often live
to the age of so years or more and
are better breeders in late than in
early life.

lowing their animals a great amount
of latitude in selecting their feed, as
the hogs will fefuse any ingredients
that are unappetizing or an unnat-
ural feed. The feeding value of the
better grades of garbage is such that
it is seldom economical to give grain
as a supplementary feed, and during
the summer months particularly
when there is large supply of gar
bage, good results may be obtained
by feeding garbage alone.
About Birds
The English sparrow was brought
to the Atlantic Coast little more
than seventy-fve years ago. For
thirty or forty years these birds in
creased in great numbers, but in
recent years, according to the Agri-
cultural Department in Washington,
they have declined in numbers, both
in cities and in rural districts. Ma
ture seems to be setting a balance
against them. They may go the
way of pigeons which were once so
thick that they blackened and shut
out the skies in their flights.
Quail, including the bobwhite,
thrive in certain parts of the coun-
try, but in other sections they do
rather poorly. In some of the
Northern States results. in raising
quail have not been entirely salts
factory. Virginia and the Carolinas
have had remarkable success with
them. At one time Mexican quail
were imported into Massachusetts,
at prices as low as $1.5O per dozen.
According to DR.. Phillips of the
United States Biological Survey,
more than $4,000 bobwhites are
recorded as having entered the
Enited States from Mexico in a
period of fifteen years, and the
price has steadily risen to S24 and
as high as to $36 a dozen.

HEARINGS ON
LABOR CHARGES
FACE SENATE
Important Questions Will Be
Submitted to Debate
This Week.
BY ROBERT TALLEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8-With the
United Mine Workers accusing the
nations biggest railroads of con-
spiracy to destroy their union by
starving strikers and their women
and children into submission and
the American Federation of Labor
charging that labor injunctionS are
robbing workers of their constitu-
tional rights, the Senate faces two
important hearings this week.
The first will begin today when
100 representatives of various trades,
who met yesterday at A. F. of L..
headquarters, will present their case
in behalf of the ShipStead bill, to
outlaw labor injunctions, before the
SenSSN Judiciary Committee.
William Green, president of the
federation, will personally direct for
the bill, assisted by national and in
ternaGonal union heads, opposing
them will be James A. Enejy, gen.
eral counsel for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, and other
representatives of railroads and Or
ganized employers.
The second hearing is tentatively
scheduled to begin Friday, when the
United Mine Workers will present
their case against the railroads be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce.
John L. Lewis, president of the
miners, is here personally to direct
the unions case in this investigation.
Opposing will be a small army of
railroad and corporation lawyers.
Senator George w. Norris, a pro-
gressive, is chairman of the judi
ciary committee which will hear the
evidence on the Shipstead anti-in-
junction bill. Senator James E.
Watson, a reactionary, but a presi-
dental hopeful, is chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee
which will hear the miners charges
against the railroads.
