that Hiltons right thumb was re-

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, June 28-The rise Of
Thomas Phillip Perkins as an
outstanding challenger for
major open golf championships
is rather parallel to that of Tommy
Armour and Bobby Cruickshank. Prior
to their emigration to the United States
and subsequent entrance into the pro-
fessional ranks, Armour and Cruick-
shank were among the amateur stars
of Scotland-a rather Indifferent term
at the best.
Under American environment and as
professionals, Armour and Cruickshank
quickly advanced among the leading
players of the world. Armour has held
both the United States and British open
championships and practically every
title of Importance In America for
which a professional is eligible. Cruick-
shank tied for the 1923 open; tied for
second place at Fresh Meadows last
week and has been winner in many
sectional events.
nERKINS is undergoing the same
L metamorphosis. His first appear
ance in the United States was at
the Chicago Golf Club in 1928, where,
as British amateur champion, he was
pitted against Bob Jones in the Walker
Cup matches Jones beat the young
Englishman, Is and II, and Phil won
only one hole on the first nine. and
that only when Bobby drove into the
water. A few weeks later Perkins met
Jones in the finals of the national anna
teur at Brae Burn and once more was
annihilated. Opinion Of his game at
the best was very poor.
Upon his emigration to the United
States Perkins golf began to improve.
Perhaps it was the opportunity for
more and keener competition than was
afforded in England, or perhaps the

Wv YHEN Gene Sarazen came of
M the eighth green at the
" " Fresh Meadow Country
Club on the last day of the
battle for the United States open
championship he looked to be doom
ed contender.
Gene needed a 3 for a 80 and he was
strokes away from the lead. He was in
q fine spot to buckle up and slide out
of the picture-and he knew it. Turn
ing to Robert Cutting, the U. S. G. A.
official in charge OF the match, he said.
I'm going to rap one in for 2 at
this ninth hole and then I'm going to
shoot a 80 on that last nine"
That is exactly what happened.
Sarazen is a great believer in lunches.
When his putt for 2 carried out the
first part of his threat. there was notn-
ing that could stop him.
"I knew then" he told me later,
"that I had a chance"
That first 80 was the beginning OF
the most remarkable finish that golf
ever has seen. Sarazen for years has
stood out as one Of the greatest stretch
runners of the game, but no one be-
lieyed that any human could ever
careen at such a headlong, dizzy pace
fer 27 holeS-32-32-34.
Facing disaster and defeat as he left
r., eighth green in the forenoon, his
5e,t of using up only 100 strokes for
the next % holes-l2 under even IS
was an extra ordinary performance. the
greatest single achievement any cham
pionship has ever known.

I'D Phil Perkins, leading the field by
a stroke, posted a 10. Wee Bobby
Cr,Iickshank tied this up. Both had
played golf worthy OF any golflng crown.
They left Sarazen a target to shoot
at as easy to hit as a thin jack-rabbit
200 yards away.
Gene had caught the field in one
great counter charge with that first 80
No one could expect him to hold this
pace. One might as well ask an Olym-
pic sprinter to open up 80 pace and
hold it for a mile. 1t couldn't be done
It IS beyond all reason.
But with the Perkins-Crulckshank
target before him. knowing what he had
to do working his way through wild
excited. stampeding crowd, Sarazen's
fiawless stroking continued with every
club in the bag.
IT was less tired that last round
than / was the first two days." he
told me. Il wanted to hit every drive
as far as I could-to use my favorite
club-No. land this plan worked out
although had to pass the 300-yard
mark on many holes before I could
reach in the bag for the club that could

INTANGIBLE" AID
FOR CREDIT SEEN
Banks Optimism Increased
by Assurance of Assistance
of Federal Funds.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

Intangible benefits Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation-those
that do not show up on the balance
sheet-are expected to play a major
role in bolstering private credit.
While equipped with at least $1,000
100000 to throw into the breach to re-
lieve financial strains, an incalculable
further amount is being made available
by the program which strikes at fear,
held TO be one of the roots Of the pres
ent difficulty.
1t has been said in Government cir
cles that banks, particularly, will be the
chief beneficiaries of these Intangible
benefits Already several institutions
have discussed their immediate prob
lens with the corporation, and have re-
ceived assurances they will be aided II
and when emergencies arise. The banks,
knowing that they have this additional
measure of protection, are enabled TO
give credit more freely for business
operations without impairing their own
financial standing and without the aid
OF a single penny. AS a result, less
forced selling Of securities and COM
modities is looked for.
BY supplying this relief for enler-
gency situations, whether oral or none
tary, it is felt that confidence will be
stimulated and greater courage created
on the part of the borrower.
The decline in the volume Of bank
credit continued through 1881. A state
ment by the controller Of the currency
showed loans and total deposits OF re-
porting member banks dropped TO new
low levels since 1927.
In the IL months these institutions
loans and discounts, including redls-
counts, dropped s2440, ,650,O00 TO sl1 =
921 ,389 900, while deposits dropped on
S3,627, ,299, 900 to S19,244, BAT 900.
Treasury officials say these drastic
declines are due partly to the unsatis-
factory business conditions prevalent
throughout the year, partly TO the
paucity of prime collateral, and partly
to the necessity on the part Of banks
to keep themselves liquid in the face
of unusually heavy Withdrawals and
difficulty in liqujdating assets.

CURB FALLS BACK
IN LATER TRADING
Opening Gains Partially Lost
as Board Considers Rule
Against Bears.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, February 19-Higher
from the start, the Curb Exchange to-
dav was nearly twice as active as the
previous session, but initial advances
were not all retained as the market
entered the early afternoon.
The board of governors of the Curb
Exchange went into session this after
noon to consider rule along lines SINH
lar to those laid down by the New York
Stock Exchange requiring the written
consent Of customers for loans of stocks
held on margin after April /.
Electric Bond 81 Share opened up
almost point, the gain being due more
to short covering than to the special
directors meeting this afternoon on the
recapitalization plan. Cities Service
was up fractionally, along with Niagara
Hudson Power United Light & Power
A and Standard Oil of Indiana.
Unlike the Stock Exchange, the curb
has a relatively small short position. AS
OF February Is the short position on the
curb totaled 7l,009 shares, as against
1928 on February l and 80,796 on
January Is. The smaller short position
of the curb prevented the rise of shares
listed on the Pacific Coast and overseas
on the scale that took place in Stock
Exchange securities. One small house
with direct Los Angeles connections be-
tween 3 and 5 pm. Thursday handled
80 900 shares Of stock, and not one share
represented curb security.
Although traders expressed consider
able interest in the outcome of the Elec-
trio Bond & Share special directors
meeting after the markets close, this
interest was not reflected on the tape
The board will consider a recapitaliza-
ton which, In effect, would give one
new share Of IS stated par value COM
mon for each three present shares Of
$40 stated par value common in order
that no legal question may arise about
dividend payments when market condi-
tions temporarily impair asset values
and therefore make common dividend
payments illegal. Present earnings, how
ever. justify continued dividend pay
ments on the common.
