Washington, Nov 17-(UP)- The sombre figure of Rep Edgar
 Howard hesitantly treads the halls of congress, so Capitol Hill is itself once more.
 Lone remnant of another epoch, when free silver" was the rallying
 cry and temperance had yet to mother prohibition, Howard at 73
 stands as a reminder to his col leagues that other days bring other problems and other leaders. With black felt hat, black tie, frock coat and iron gray hair fall ing to his shoulders, this cham
 pion of free democracy" looks
 uncommonly like his one-time
 leader. William Jennings Bryan. He was Bryan's secretary for years.
 While the resemblance is not en- tirely accidental, neither is 1t en- tirely designed. Both were news papermen, both fought hard for
 political principles.
 To-day Howard fights alone
 many battles that would have re- lceived the Bryan benediction. While he seldom participates in debates, when he does, it is with a fine sense
 of the dramatic and a never-fail- illS tOucn UT uuulOIs
 There was one notable occasion, not on the floor, when he was in- vited to Jefferson day dinner at
 which Senator Goff of West Vir- ginia, a republican, was the princi- pal speaker. Howard declined. brawling:
 "Goff wouldn't know a Jeffer- sonian principle if he met 1t walk ing down the middle of the road" His simplicity is not all for pub lie consumption. Once he was per- suaded against his will to attend a White House reception. It took considerable sandbagging to get him to buy a dress suit and wear 1t. and still more to entice him into a taxicab. Returning from the White House, he was hardly out of the cab before he had ripped off the tight collar and tie, and by the time he had reached his doorstep
 he was much nearer ready for bed.

TO=DAY'S SPORTS PARADE
BY HENRY MCLEMORE United Press Stan COrrespondcnt)

New York. July 15-(UP)-Ask your average sports fans to name offhand this country's outstanding woman athlete and he probably will give you Mrs Helen Wills Moody or Mrs Glenna Collett Ware. In either case your average sports fan would be wrong, for rated strictly on performances, the honor belongs to Miss Helene Madison of Seattle, Washington, who to-day will begin a defense of her num- erous titles in the National A. A.. U. outdoor swimming and diving championships.
 No one will deny that Mrs Moody is supreme in tennis, and that Mrs Ware Is a pretty good bet against the field when she tees off in a golf tournament, but neither of these women dominate her chos- en sport as Miss Madison does swimming. It's been a good two years now since the Seattle girl was forced to take an opponents backwash. She proved that her rule over the waves was not con- fined to America by establishing no less than 22 worlds records last year. Moreover she doesn't win by ripple; when she hits the tape there's always plenty of daylight between her thrashing feet and the disappointed look in her oppoh- ents eyers.
 Despite the fact that her list of records resembles nothing so much as' the Manhattan phone book, Miss Madison insists she still gets q tre- mendous thrill out of winning. Asked which of her victories gave her the most kick, she replied: "The last one"

The local Doric chapter of De- Molays were recipients of another shellacking last night at the Rod and Gun club field on Watertown avenue where the Putsic Friars, led by the graceful but hard hit ting Eddie Evans scored their sec- ond consecutive victory over the Temple Hall boys, to in nine innings.
 Weakened by the absence of Win Strobberg. but strengthened by the acquisition of "Slugger" Thompson and Carl Klies, the htter's pres ence being noted only from his grandstand form and underhand ways, the DeMolays were anxious to avenge the IS to l defeat suf- fered three weeks ago, but failed in their gallant efforts as Earl kurtZ offerings were too much to the liking of the Friars willows.

ONE PUTT ON l7TH
 GREEN WON THE GROWN FOR HAGEN
Last Round of 68, Four Under Par, Just Enough to Nose Out Percy Al. liSS Of Berlin
BY l.. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor

Toronto, Ont, July 15.-CUP)- The wizardy that Walter Hagen has perfected in his long years of competition again has come to the fore to make him a champion.
 Before 10000 persons, Hagen drove and putted his way over the Mississauga golf course yesterday. lifted the ball from treacherous lies and showed an amazing golf perfection to defeat Percy Alliss, British professional, in the 36- hole playoff for the Canadian open golf championship.
 Great Golf.
 Hagen had to be a star to win. He shot dazzling 68 on the last IS, four under par, and then was able to win by only one stroke, the final score for the 36 holes being Hagen Al, and Allis 142. They finished the regular round Saturday with 282 apiece.
 It was the kind of a match that Hagen likes. He was the under dog from the minute the first hole was played. Nothing worked at the start of that match and AL lis, the Britisher who is profession al at a Berlin club, played per- lection golf to be three strokes ahead at the end of four holes.
 From then on Hagen fought. His wood strokes cracked out safe 250 and 260 yards down the fair way. His irons rang true. His butter acted well. Occasionally Hagen slipped from grace and got into a rough, a trap or the wa ter. But he came back after every such round.
 A man of lesser steel would have collapsed under Alliss' relentless birdies, pars and even an eagle Hagen saw two stroke advantage vanish in the afternoon when the match neared close.
 Birdie Did It.
 They played even. Then on the long 17th, Hagen placed his sec ond firmly on the green and traced pretty putt home for birdie and the one stroke advantage witt which he won the match.
 Their cards for the 36-hole round:

NAUCATUCK FANS TO HONOR BURKE
 ON HOMECOMING
Great Celebration Planned in Rubber T0wn-May Be Held Outdoors Warden Green Chair- man

Naugatuck, July 15-A meeting was planned yesterday by Warden Frank T. Green and a group Of representative local citizens at which time plans for conducting a celebration in honor of Billie Burke national open golf champion and former Union City boy, were con- sidered. Warden Green announced he has named Burgesses John Sheridan and Tracy Noble of the borough board to act with him rep resenting the borough in the plans for the Burke home coming demon- stration. President William M. Chittenden of the Naugatuck cham CT of commerce and other promi- nent borough leaders will be in- vited to assist the borough officials in planning the welcome for the crack golfer.
 terviewed that he called at the Burke home in Greenwich while bound for Naugatuck from New York where he ended a brief va cation Monday. The golfer was away. Mrs Burke informed the warden, and just when he will be able to visit Naugatuck is not defi- nitely known as yet. The warden plans to communicate with Burke at the first opportunity. seeking to arrange a date convenient to Burke for his visit here as the boroughs guest. It is doubted if the visit can be before next week, if that soon.
 Lack of an auditorium large enough to accommodate the num- ber desired in Naugatuck at the gathering is hampering the back CTS of the plan in making prepara- tions for the event. It may be neces- sary to have the principal feature of the program which will attract the largest crowd in some open area such as the Naugatuck golf links or Recreation field. Not having ever had such an affair previously when one person was so honored, the event Is without precedent locally and many intricate plans must be formulated before definite arrange ments can be made. With the bor- ough board men as a nucleus, other committees to assist will be named and the program mapped out as
