New York. June 14.-LR-Walter Hagen will be among the favorites when the open golf championship competition starts its nerve racking way. June :7.
 His price would be even shorter if he could obtain . change of venue to . British course. Al good as he is at home. The Haig" Is better away from his native heath.
 He has won the open champion ship of the United States only twice. the last in 1919. but since 1922 he has taken the British open title four times.
 His victories in the home event were won after hard struggles In his first successful quest he nosed out Chick Evans. the great western amateur. then approaching his peak by one stroke. e9o to os1. and when he repeated five years later he had to go into play-off with Mike Brady. who will be host pro at Winged Foot.
 Hagen's policy in the open seems to be ''all or none" He never has finished second and has been third only once. His poorest performance was tie for eighteenth in 1923. and he was eleventh in 1920. He finished tenth once. He has been fourth or in tie for fourth three times.
 The golfer who has done as we'll as any living man in the British classic will be 3S years old next autumn and has been playing seri- ous golf for 20 years.
 He has gone on to his great Brit ish triumphs after crushing de- feats at match play few days be- fore. This year he was downed by George Duncan 10 up and to play in the Ryder cup singles but Dun can could not keep up with him in the open. In 1928 Archie Compston stopped him IS up and IT to play in 72 hole match, but Compston trailed the American when the big title was at stake. Hagen's 67 in the second round at Muirfield leaving players and spectators gasping

match play. He won the profession al golfers championship of the United States five times. four times in succession.
 Hagen is the games greatest snowman. No matter how many or how few claims for golf distinction he may have at the moment he can pack his gallery at exhibitions with handsome reward to the player. He will not lack for attention at Wing. ed Foot, no matter if his score places him among the leaders or back with those who are just finishing their roundA

 After two were out in the seventh Nestor sent a triple to right an1 scored . moment later when Haines let . pitch get away from him. The winning run was scored in the ninth on . pass to Lindsren. sacrifice bunt by Charlow and a single to left by Goeb.
 The fielding of both teams was sensational and flawless with the ex- ception of q muffed fly by Matis. The infielders on each team made all sorts of stops and their throws were perfect. The outfielders raced all over the garden to haul down drives which appeared to be labeled for extra base hits.

 a It is expected that Gerald Me- Court will again be in charge of the affair aud the same rules and regu- alatious with regard to ages and the ssms number of teams will be tn 2 fierce.
 ? Just when the league will start will be decided at a later date.
 The eenaca baseball team will practice tonight at 6:30 o'clock at Willow Brook park. All members of the team are asked to be on hand as this will be tho last workout be- fore the opening of the City League tomorrow afternoon.
 The American Legion bassball team will hold its final practice session tonight at a:15 o'clock. It IL important that all the candidates be present because the team will be picked tonight and pictures of all the players will be taken.
 The Sacred Heart baseball team will practice tomorrow afternoon at : o'clock at the Washington school diamond. The team will play on the road this Sunday.
 There can't be anyone who wasn't satisfied with the two baseball games played last night in the In- dustrial League. Both of them were sensations. one being won by to 1 score and the other going to I. innings when the game had to be called with the count tied one-all.
 The Stanley Rule & Level team seems to De tho one that has the penchant of running up against the other teams just when they are Tn the best of form. The Rulers lost two games by close scores and now in the third game. the team. battles l. innings without reaching . deci- sion.
 Billy Wolfe was the interesting sidelight in last nights eame be- tween Fafnirs and the Rulers. Billy never in his life pitched better ball than he did last night against the Bearing Makers.
 His curve was breaking like bolt Of lightning and his fast one was slipping faster in the 1?th inning than it was at the beginning of the game. When Billy wants to get down to work. he is one Of the best twirlers in the city.
 Three more good baseball games will be furnished the fans of the city tomorrow afternoon when the City League swings into action. The Junior City League gets underway Monday night.

CHIP SHOTS

Dave Manning writes to call at- tention to an error made in the "Goat Getters'' column. where Verne Vickham recently gave the penalty for a lost ball as . stroke. and stated that the new ball should be dropped as near Ns possible to the spot where tho first ball was lost
 This must be very new rule or else Vickham is little rusty about the rules. The last time read the rule it stated. in effect. that when . ball is lost the player must re- turn to the spot from which the last shot was played. and one one stroke and distance as the penalty. According to Verne the loss would be only the stroke. without the dis tance." Thus MT. Manning writes.
 MT. Manning Is correct unless fule 22 has been changed. In tour raments or in important matches t,e rule would beIenforced. In or cinary play to save time. golfers have fallen into the habit of drop ping another ball near the point where the first one was lost. It is e!so customary on sorne courses to regard a lost ball in the same cate .gory as . ball out of bounds aSi only take distance as a penalty. But neither practice squares with the rules.
 Both cases illustrate the laxity of observance of the rules that are supposed to govern golf. What is customarily done on any particular course becomes the golf law there and if one quotes . rule in variance to tradition, he will be ruled out of order.
 If there is a question about q rule. no one consults the rule book but appeals to the first good golfer who comes along and his decision Is the court of last appeal. But he is as likely as not to be an incom- potent judge for flaw players can re- member all the rules.
 It is one of the pleasant features Of golf that there seldom is any wranyltrs about a rule. More at- tention is paid to the niceties Of golf etiouette. A man may violate half . doseh rules in the course of his round and still be regarded as . good golf companion. But let him move while some member oi the foursome is putting or talk while drives are being made and he quickly becomes unpopular

LITTLE AMERICA. Antarctica. Sep
TENDER 27.-The uncertainties OF Spring
weather are just as pronounced In tne
Antarctic as anywhere else. ano To-Day
all work outdoors was stopped ny q
blizzard.
Last night it was 81 below zero and
today it is about Al below and strong
wind blowing. The dogs that are out
side have crawled into their boxes Tor
shelter and nobody goes out except
when necessary to go to one OF the otner
houses
Men on house duty have an unpleas-
ant time on such days keeping the
windows free from snow so that light
will shine through.
The windows are at the bottom OF
deep holes in the drift over the house.
and from inside one has to look upward
at a sharp angle to see the sky. The
dry, powdery snow drifts into these
holes and over the windows and who
ever goes out to clean them comes IN
chilled.
One of the stove pipes in the adj
miniStration house chose this day Of
all others to fall apart. and SCOT and
smoke made the atmosphere thick for
a time, until the pipe was put together
again and refastened with wire.
Such incidents, however, offer the
opportunity for plenty of humorous
comment on the efforts of those at
tempting to reattach the pipe and get
ting well blackened in the process, so
they help break the monotony Of life
indoors.

PAY INCREASE BILL
READY.FOR HOOVER
Measure viii Give Legislative
Employees Salary Raise
of S2,240.

The bill increasing the salaries of
approximately 1850 employees at the
Capitol Is ready to 60 to the President
for signature today, having passed the
Senate late yesterday. 1t previously was
approved by the House. The increases
total 1917, s97.60.
While, the measure was under consid-
Grafton In the Senate Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Tennessee, gave notice
that at the first opportunity he will
seek legislation to increase the salaries
from $4,000 to $4,000. He was pre-
pared to offer an amendment to the
Capitol employees bill, but withheld 1t
when Chairman Warren of the appro-
priations committee said that IL any
amendments were made to the pending
measure IL probably could not be en-
acted before the recess; Senator Nickel
lar declared that in virtually all Of the
important Government ofices created In
recent years, such as the Farm Board,
the Reserve Board and similar agencies,
the salaries OF members have been
placed at $4,000.
While the employees pay bill was be-
fore the Senate several Senators called
attention to what they regarded as in
equalities In the provisions Of the bill,
cause OF the danger Of defeating the
bill.
The increases carried In the bill were
worked out by q joint committee COM
posed of Senators Warren, Watson and
Bratton and Representatives Wood
Murphy and Byrns. Under the read
justed compensation the average of sal
aries In the legislative branch of the
Government becomes S2,240, as CON-
pared with the general average Of 81, 10c
in the executive branch. The average
of all salaries under the Legislative
branch in 1928 was approximately 81 ,765
which makes the increase 269 per cent
The committee reported that in the ex-
ecutive branch the average Of all sal
aries has been raised from 81 $50 In
1928 to LOO In 1880.
The committee stated that while the
average Is slightly higher in the legis.
lative branch, the variance is believed
to be justified in view of the differences
in employment conditions and the ex-
pense of travelling to and from wash
ington.
