ONatonna, Minn., Dec. (UP)- The 16-year- old mystery of a gypsy Kidnapping has been solved today through a chance remark of a telegraph operator,
 In 1914, Mrs. Mary Burke lived ncar Crookaton with her two boys, aged three and siI years. One day they were sent on an errand and vever returned.
 Evidence indicated that they had been kidnLpcd by band of 2!psics Five years later the elder boy was found and said that they had been kid napcd by the gypsies.
 Recently Mrs. Burke vas in a telegraph office at Spring Valley, Wis. when shc overheard the op orator tell how a band of gypsies had left two children at the Owatonna State School for Boys many years before.
 Mrs. Burke checked with au- thorities and learned that the younger lad had been registered under the name of Cook.
 Since that time he had left the school and was at Portsmouth, Va, the authorities told her
 Making a long distance tele- phone call to Portsmouth, Mrs. Burke identified the child, now grown up, through a birth mark carried on his ankle.

MANS PURSE IS EMPTY,

Joseph Dabkowski Reports Being Attacked When He Pleads He
 Is Without Funds

Joseph Dabkowski of 454 Eddy Glover boulevard learned Wednes- day night in rather painful eXpcr- fence that it does not pay to be broke when accostcd by men who seek 10 steal your money.
 He told Policeman Thomas Dolan last night that he was seized by two men while passing the Washington school last Wednesday night on his way home. They demanded that he turn his money over to them. When he ;.did that he did not have any of this worlds goods in his posses sion he alleged that they beat him into insensibility and after making thorough search 10 make sure that he was telling the truth left him lying on the ground.
 His face showed evidence of brutal treatment and his right wrist was spraned. He told the policemen that he was so battered that he was unable 10 leave his home to report the matter sooner than last night.
 Despite the fact that he was in actual combat with the men at close quarters he was unable to furnish the police with an accurate descrip- ton Of his assailants.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

Just what it Is that makes Woodmont
30 tough none seemed able to agree on.
Some blamed that soft white sand with
which Sam Leidy filled the bunkers last
year. Others blamed the entangling
rough. Some more put the fault at
the door Of the tricky, undulating
green's, while others-perhaps more
honest-said they played downright
soor golf.
For a time yesterday it seemed that
the two top-liners Of local golf-Stevin-
fail to qualify in the first flight. With
Stevenson and Pitt, Pitt came in with a
Al for the first nine, needing at least a
20 to qualify. He came back over that
tortuous last nine in dazzling IS. His
outstanding stunt came at the long
fifteenth, where he poled out q great
tee shot, stuck an iron shot on the
green and sank the putt for birdie
on this hole where most of the COM
petitors were taking six or more. Then
he sank a 10-footer for another birdie
on the seventeenth-a short hole-and
finished with o par 1.
A. S. Worthington Frailey Of Chevy
Chase and John Shorey Of Bannock-
on the second qualifying day. Scores OF
81 were the last to make the first flight.
and 81 was the highest to get in the
fourth and last flight.
One Of the bright spots was the ap-
proach shot from far of the eighteenth
green that John Downey sank to score
an 81 when he appeared headed for q
90.
Peacock's victory In the medal round
with a Is establishes him as one Of the
tourney favorites. The youngster never
has won a major event about the Cap
ital, although he took the Junior title
last year over the Wood mont course.
The Indian Spring course will be
open tomorrow to women golfers Of the
city until 1 o'clock for practice for the
competition for The Evening Star
Trophy, which will be played next Mon
day and Tuesday. The event Is a So
hole medal play affair, ID holes being
scheduled each day.
The main prize will go to the COM
petitor with the lowest net score, while
the Women's District Golf Association
has arranged for several additional
prizes. Entries close with Mrs. Frank
r. Keefer, president Of the association,
at noon Saturday.
Georgetown's golf team was to leave
the Capital today for New Haven, where
they will play two matches there to-
morrow and Saturday. The Hoya club
swingers are to meet Harvard and Holy
Cross.
Western and Tech high school golf
ers are to clash Saturday morning in q
Dawes Cup match.
