Lott doesn't believe frankie

Ellsworth Vines; that professional

highly unjust. "He did everything

PRO- GOLFERS
OPEN TOURNEY.
Only Few Absentees From
Ranks Of Stars As Play Gets
Under Way.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WAUWATOSA, Wis, Aug. 8. -
An imposing field of more than 100
golfers, including six members of
the 1888 Ryder cup team. opened
play today in the 18th annual pro-
fessional golfers association tourn-
ament over the tricky green's and
fairways of the Blue Mound Coun-
try club course.
Qualifying rounds over SO holes
were the opening days program.
This will narrow the field to 80
players, who for five days will
stroke SO holes of match play until
the finals Sunday.
The five day, 80 hole grind makes
the P. G. A tourney one of the
most difficult of all champion
ships. The winner must turn in
top form golf for the entire route,
for one bad round in the classy
field virtually eliminates a con-
tender.
DIN Dutra, Los Angeles pro who
won the P. G. A. title last year,
was qualified automatically. He
will be seeking his second P. G. A.
championship.
Gene Sarazen, stocky little east
erner who twice has won the P. G..
A. title, arrived last night. His APP
pearance materially reduced the
number of outstanding golfers alb
sent from the tournment. Until
the last minute it was feared that
an exhibition tour with Joe Kirk
wood would prevent Sarazen. who
in 1882 won both the British and
American open titles, from COM
peting in the $1,000 event.
Walter Hagen. five times P. G.
A. champion, and Denny Shute, re-
Gently winner of the British open,
are touring Europe in exhibition
play. Craig Wood, Deal, N. j., who
tied with Shute in the British
tournament and lost in the play
off, also is absent, and so is Paul
Runyan, White Plains, N. Y.
Turnesa Low Man
Joe Turnesa, Big Bayside, L. L.,
pro. turned in the best card on a
practice round. He was one of
the few entrants who toured the
course yesterday. rain keeping the
golfers in Milwaukee during the
morning.
| Turnesa shot a SO on the way
out, one over par, and came back
in 81, four under par, for 81. He
carded five brides on the last
nine.
Clarence Hackney, Atlantic City,
turned in the next lowest practice
score. Shortly after noon Hackney
went around in 34-35-69, one I'M
der par.
Billie Burke, former national OPP
en- champion, and Johnny Golden,
former winner of the $4,000 Aqua
Caliente tournament, shot us in
the rain. Joe Brennan, Philadel-
phia, shot 70. Willie Klein
Wheatly Hills, N. Y, and George
Mclean, Yongkers, N. Y, had 74's

MAY HOLD NEXT YEAR

Wednesday, October 4th, under
auspices Of the Synod of Balti-
more, the Presbyterian Church
will celebrate the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary Of its or
ganization in America. Services
will be held at Princess Anne, Md,
Rehoboth, Md, Mackenzie Park,
Va, Pocomoke City, Md, Snow
Hill, Md, and Salisbury, Md.
Sometime in 1858 Francis Make
mie came to the eastern shore Of
Maryland and proceeded to organ
ize congregations among settlers
who were of the Presbyterian per
suasion. Rehoboth, Md, where
the original building is still in use,
Snow Hill and Princess Ane, Md,
were the first three to be organ
lied. About the same time two
other churches were established,
Pitts Creek, (Pocomoke City, and
the Wicomico Church at Sails
bury, Maryland All we know of
persecution for ones religious be
liefs is what history tells us and
it all seems impossible. But it was
different then. Among those to
suffer most under the Stuarts
were the Presbyterians of Scot
land, England, and Ireland, and
the Independent Puritans of Eng
land. The new world offered re-
ligious freedom and the opportun-
ity to worship God according to
the dictates of ones conscience.
In Maryland, in the year 1649, an
act of Religious federation was
passed by the Provincial Assem-
bly,. At the same time derogat-
ory remarks against Presbyter-
ians were forbidden. The eastern
shore welcomed many of these
fearless spirits. The settlers hav-
ing no ordained Minister among
them sent a request to the Pres
bytery of the North of Ireland.
AT the time the request was read
a young man, Francis Mackenzie,
presented himself for ordination.
He heard the petition read and
was SO moved with its appeal that
he requested Presbytery to send
him to the colonies. So began the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America. Presbyterians
of Dover had planned this year to
make the service in the Old
Church a part Of this celebration.
Their history begins some twenty
five or thirty years later. AS near

For Mary had jerked herself
away from him and had run up the
path to the house. He hurried to
her and tried to take the key from
her hand. "You can just hurry
home" she said. I'm jolly well
able to let myself in, thank you.
Good night, Mr.. Ormsby. I said
good night.
And Frank, feeling as If the stars
had suddenly fallen down from the

car and started slowly down the
road while Mary was fumbling with
the key. Looking back he saw her
still fumbling, then he turned the
car around and drove slowly back.
'aThe darn thing won't work, :"

reached her side. Il guess they
gave me the wrong key. Oh, I

promptly began to weep. After that
they rang the door bell. Then Mary
called-frst cautiously. then with

YOU must stop and have bite with

But you don't mean, Mary, that
you have latch key? 1 knew some
of the village girls had latch keys,
but I'd no idea your mother-well,
bless my heart, and you're only a
child. Frank, do girls in the city
have latch keys?
But Mary had down to the tele-
phone. After five minutes effort
the operator would only report
''They do not answer"
'But it will be quite all right
for you to stay here" said Miss
Ormsby. "Pll telephone your moth
er the first thing, so don't hurry in
the morning"
''Mary's a DEAR" said Miss Orms-

shown her to her room. A look of

"Of course she would" said Aunt
Sally, and looking up they saw a

so afraid they would worry and
just stole down to try to get them
on the telephone again. I thought
you'd gone to bed"
