BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August IA
Three persons were stabbed, one per-
haps fatally, here early yesterday when
they were attacked by a colored In
truder in their home. The injured are
Mrs. NJ Kimerling and her two sons,
Lyman, IS, and Charles, II.
The negro was routed by CASTOR
Kimerling, 9-year-old son Of Mrs.
Kimerling, who struck the assailaf1t
with a chair when his mother and
brothers apparently were waging a
losing fight.
The intruder escaped and last night
police had found no clue as to his
identity. Police said they were unde-
cided as to whether robbery was the
only motive of the attack. e..
Mrs. Kimerling was stabbed when she
resisted efforts Of the negro to take q
ring from one Of her fingers.
Lyman Kimerling was stabbed f1ve
times and is believed by hospital att
tendants to be fatally wounded. The
mother and other brother are expected
to recover. Mrs. Kimerling was stabbed

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

~ NE day last year George Diffen-
baugh, the midget assistant
pro at Indian Spring. noticed
~ a little dog hanging around the
entrance to the club on the
Colesville pike. He noticed the dog the
following day and took it in to give it a
square meal. The dog acted in such
friendly fashion that George went
further, gave him a bath and rid him
of the load Of surplus feas. and then
George adopted him. Now George and
the little mutt are inseparable friends.
Wherever George goes, so goes the dog.
But the dog will not go near the NTH
green, even though he may follow
match all around the rest OF the 8oli
course.
The other day Perry B. Hoover, Diff
and John F. Mccormick start
ed out in a match. The dog followed
them for the first four holes and half
way down the fifth fairway, sitting
down at each tee, and stopping while
the golfers played their shots. But no
of coaxing would bring him past
the bunker on the fifth fairway.
Hoover asked the reason, and George
said: THAT dog is not so dumb. He
used to follow me around to the sixth
and seventh, but dumped him in the
pond a couple of times, and now ne
never goes past the fifth hole. Watch
him. He'll Join us on the seventh

! in the play-off at Brae-Burn. Jones
started the next year and Hagen hasn't
come close since. And Hagen hasn't
won the British open either when Jones
was a competitor"
Personally we think there is q bit of
psychology mixed up in the Hagen
Jones thing. Both respect the golf abil-
ity of the other, but Jones draws the
gallery. They all flock out to see the
master stroke q golf ball and usually
Hagen's gallery Is small. Walter likes
the roar of the crowd and when they
roar for Jones, Hagen doesn't like 1t so
much.
What Is the shortest putt ever missed
which cost a major championship?
There have been many, but probably
the most notorious miss is the one
Tommy Armour blew in the Canadian
open of 1920. He had a six-inch putt
for a and took 5. He lost the
championship by a shot.
At the tenth hole of the last round
Of the open last week at Winged Foot
Tommy lost a shot because he was
too courteous to step on the line of the
putt OF Bob Cruickshank, his partner.
Armour had an 8-inch putt for a T.
and he carefully straddled Cruick-
shank's line and carelessly hit his ball.
1t failed to go in and he lost a shot.
Gene Sarazen will never forget the
10-inch putt he missed on the last
green Of the third round, nor will Jones
ever forget the 1S-incher he blew on
the eleventh green of the last round
Which goes to show that they all miss
them. Tommy Armour had it right
when he said they all blow under the
pressure of the open championship. It
isn't because the pros are playing Jones
or any one else. 1t is because they
think the open title may hinge on a
single shot.
Lieut.. Comdr. E. L. Oliphant won
the tombstone tourney played at the

Maj. w. E. Larned played his last

nineteenth.
Many OF the members of the WASH
ington Golf g. Country Club regard the
eleventh hole as q better hole II played
from the upper tee. where the tee
plates now are located. The old tee
makes the hole q mashie shot of about
$50 yards, while from the upper tee
stronger club must be played to q
green 174 yards away. The bottom
of the ditch which runs in front of
the green has been covered with con-
crete to enable it to be kept clean
