 The Presidents trophy. . beautiful electric coffee percolator which Par don c. Hickey. chairman of the board of governors of the Shuttle Meadow club, donated for the 1929 cup event now stands beside the other golfing trophies in Howard s. Humphreys den. He took it home Sunday after beating Ted Hart in | 3S-hole finals match.
 Saturday afternoon both players tuned up their games in the lazy Special tournament, where the least number of butts captured the prizs. Hart was on top of his game and shot 69. to tie the amateur recori of the course. He had enough oue- putt greens to easily win first place. His display Of excellent golf made it look like tough going for MT. Hum- phrey the following day.
 But Howard bided his time and took it easy Saturday. saving his best golf for Sunday. Last year as president of the club he presented a cup which tradition would not allow him to win. This season it was . different matter. He went right after it. after capturing first prize trophies recently, in the Connecticut Golf Executives matches and the Yale class reunion tournament.
 If a win meant much to Hum- phrey. it meant as much or more to Hart. Last fall after several pre~i ous tries he won the championship of the club beating two former titleholders in successive matches. 1T he now could take the Presidents cup event he would establish rec ord at Shuttle Meadow. Even for T: low handicap man to go to the finals is unusual. To get there he had to win from two youngsters who are playing a good brand of golf. Both Len Morse and Cliff Parker carriad Ted to the goth hole before the champion clinched his matches.
 Humphrey didn't have a difficult task until he tackled Ernest Bad win, who had just eliminated Clar- ence Manning Howard won that match on the 18th green, with the clubhouse on fire.
 Early yesterday forenoon. the finalists drove down the scorching hot fairways and putted on sizzling greens. But conditions just suited MT. Humphrey and when the first IS holes were finished. the card showed him seven up, due to his brilliant s and his six stroke handicap. Ted shot 7S.
 After dinner and a little rest the contestants started out to finish the grind. With his lead. Howard did not have to exert himself until he played the 18th hole. There he was only one up and when Hart got . birdie, Humphrey had to sink a mean putt on the temporary green for . three to keep his advantlye. He rose to the crisis and with stroke on each of the last two holes he finished one up on the 36th green. Ted carried the fight to the final hole by shooting 7:.

The hitting Of Victor and Beebe for Winsted featured with Healy and Victor turning in q nice game in the infeld. Heath's work in the out field. where he made several catches which meant runs for the locals. was very good.
 For the locals the work of Schnie- der and Cramer at the bat vas ex- ceptionally good, Schnieder getting four out of four. DeVito agaIn turned in q nice game at short.
 Winsted started on xs if it meant business in the first inning. The visitors connected for two safe hits, but at this point Pechuk started to bear down and famed the last two batters. kensington started it's scor- ing in its half of tho first inning. After Mikan had grounded out. Schnieder shot . clean single into left field. Cramer sent him to third on beautiful double to left. Schnis- der scored on Huband's infield out and Cramer Scored when Palm threw wild trying to get Schnieder at home. There was no more scor- ing until the seventh when Gill the first man up in this inning walked. He advanced to second on Pechuk's sacrifice. went to third on Mikan's infield out and scored on Schnieder's single through short.
 The work of Pechuk in the box for the locals was certainly q pleas- ure to watch, when time after time he struck out two men with run ners on bases. In all he had eleven strlkeouts which is considered d pretty good days work for any pitch CT.

CHARLIE DAVIS is
HIGHLY HONORED

Knowing the high esteem that the
public has for Charlie Davis as
master of ceremonies at the Indiana
and realizing full we'll his box Office
value at that theater, am going to
be careful in telling you this news.
Charles Davis is on his way to
New York to be guest master Of
ceremonies at the great Paramount
theater for two weeks only.
Davis will open Saturday at a
movie theater which sets the enter
tainment fashion all over this coun-
try. 1t is big honor to go into
New York and take over a position
that help make Paul Ash and Rudy
Vallee even more famous.
1 have been officially Informed
that as soon as Davis completes his
two weeks engagement in New York
that he will return at once to the
Indiana.
Davis has not taken his band to
New York. His boys remain at the
Indiana. On Friday of this week, a
master of ceremonies new to this
city in person at least, will be in
troduced. His name is Bobby jack
son and he was the master of cere-
monies in broadway Babies" the
Alice White movie.
What I am trying to assure you
is that Charlie will be back soon.
And he will make good on Broad
way.

suggestion and do their stuff. AS
wonderful as are the seals, just as
wonderful is the showmanship of
Captain Adams. He has taken a
seal and girl swimmer and has
made a classic out of an ancient
idea. There may be nothing new
under the sun, but Showmanship
sure can make the old stuff look
new. The act is called Odiva and
Human Seals. The girl is splendid
swimmer and she has several stunts
wit hthe seals in the big glass tank
that are sure winners. And another
reason that I am SO fond Of this
act is that Captain Adams gives 1t
high educational value without
letting one get wise to it. This act
is one of the best examples of what
intelligent Showmanship can do.
And there is an interesting con-
trast on this bill which commands
attention. Freddie Craig Jr. shows
what his mental "it" can accomplish.
He can do eight things at one time,
write upside down about four differ
ent names, do something with fig
ureS, carry on conversation, add
figures and carry on a mental test.
Mighty clever this man. His SIM
plicity of manner is another fine as
set to his act.
Joe Whitehead is present with a
good looking female companion who
assists him in his eccentric routine.
He is no longer an extreme nut
comedian. His material is right.
Well done.
THE Enchanted Forest" a dane
ing act, opens the bill. About as
much music as dancing in this act.
The movie feature is THE Hot
entot," an all-talker made from a
stage show. Here is real picture,
especially the race horse scenes.
The story is mighty horsey and it is
corking good yarn. Edward
Everett Horton is splendid as the
guy who is horse shy. See this pic
