FEAR INVADERS
FOR e. MEET |

Local high schools look with
fear and apprehension on the
cohorts which will invade the

1880, can gain permanent pos
session of it by a victory this
year. Stunton, Tech and East
ern also have two legs on the
cup.
Twenty-eight schools and 315
athletes will compete for five
trophies.
Besides getting a leg on the
famous Cornell Alumni Cup, the
winner of the senior meet will
also be awarded the Emory Will
son Memorial Cup. The team
finishing second will carry away
the annual George Hamilton Me-
mortal Trophy, and the Jim
Spriggman award will go to the
Junior high meet victor. The
&C" Club one-mile relay winner
will obtain the Gene Casey
Trophy.
For the first time in many
years, Roosevelt High, Emerson
and Friends will seek track and
field honors. Schools and num-

ROUGH EVENING
WATTS SH|KAT
ONMAT

Frank Speers, once a standout
footballer at Georgia Tech, today
realizes the value of turning
villain.
And in attaining this realiza.
ton the chubby faced Southerner
almost overnight scared from q
rather mediocre wrestling hero to
a roughhouse of unquestioned
repute.
Cast against the mighty Dick
Shikat at the Washington Audi
torium tonight, Spears admits he
intends using his full stock of ag-
greSsiveness in. an effort to win.
Says Frank:
WaShburn Gave Idea
"When 1 first entered the
wrestling game 1 forgot all my
football tricks and worked
clean. And rapidly got no
where, losing match after
match.
Then one night / saw Jack
WaShburn showing through the
South, rough guy to defeat.
If Washburn could get away
with that stuff 1 figured, there
was no reason 1 couldn't. Well,
could, I did, and I still ami"
Loosed against a rough-house
of SpeerS' temperament and
aggressiveness, Shikat, former
worlds heavyweight champion,
unquestionably will show his
smoothest article of mixing. At
his best when opponents turn
villain, Herr Richard probably
will make use of virtually all of
his tricks of the trade-and al
most endless string.

MARK BY 2
STROKES
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
AS the Chevy Chase Clubs an
nual invitation golf tournament
swung into match play rounds
today the course competitive rec
ord of 81 hung up by young
Maury Nee in yesterdays final
qualifying rounds was the major
topic.
The youngster, a student at
Georgetown Prep and a member
OF Manor and Columbia Country
Clubs, sheared par by two strokes
and eclipsed the previous course
record by similar margin. The
former competitive mark of SO
was established by George J. Voigt
in 1926. The non-competitive
mark is held by the club pro, Bob
Barnett, who reeled off 81 in
August, 1929, a few days after his
assistant, Gene Larkin, had shot
IS.
Nee's round must be classed
with one of the greatest in the
history of local golf. He blistered
that long 6538 yards, par SO
course from the back tees with
tremendous tee shots, Scintillating
approaches and skillful putting.
Conditions were far better than
the first day when rain drenched
the course but the fairways were
slightly soggy yesterday.
Drops Strokes to Par
Coming to the sixteenth tee,
Nee stood four under par and
needed but three pars for a IS.
He whacked out a drive straight
down the middle but was short
with his second and required two
puts for a S, one over par, after
getting on. This was the first
hole where he missed par. He
obtained his par 4 on the
seventeenth.
The eighteenth found him drop
ping another stroke to par. Driv-
ing down the center. the young
Ster misplaced his iron second,
the ball landing a foot or two off
the left edge of the green. Chip
ping boldly, he overran the cup
Is feet and then Stroked his putt
too strong, going four feet beyond.
Fortunately, he lowered his next
putt for a S.
Probaly the greatest shot in
Nee's spectacular round was a No.
2 iron from the shallow rough to
the eleventh green, after pushing
his tee shot. He canned an eight
foot putt for a birdie 3.
Other highlights were his recov-
cry from the sand trap on the
seventh, enabling him to run
down a three-footer for a par 4;
his 25-foot putt on the ninth for
a birdie 2. being one of the few
to drive the green on this hole
during the qualifying round, and
his No. l iron drive on the
thirteenth, the ball stopping two
feet from the pin for an easy
birdie 2. Par and Nee's card fol-
low:

One was the 73 carded by,
Harry G. Pitt, of Manor Club
and three-time winner of the
tournament. Following a spotty
first nine of 38. three over par,
the Manor expert steadied him
self after passing the thirteenth
hole and covered the last five
holes in two under par. He had
gone three over par on the first
four holes of the incoming trip.
Sinks Is FOOter
A 25-foot putt gave Pitt a
birdie 3 on the fifteenth and he
added another birdie 3 on the
strength Of a fine maShie to the
seventeenth green.
Tom Belshe, of Indian Spring,
was another whose score was OBJ
Scured by Nee's achievement.
Belshe qualified for the cham
pionship flight with IA, Streaking
home in a par-equalling "a after
an outgoing voyage Of 40, caused
by three 3-putt green's.
An overapproach on the fiji
teenth caused him to lose a stroke
to par but he regained it by
sinking a 1O-footer on the seven
teenth for birdie.
8 Eliminates Burrows
Ted Burrows, finalist in the
1881 tournament, knocked himself
out of the championship flight
by taking an on the final hole
for 81.
He hooked his iron shot into
the clump of trees by the eight
eenth green and expended three
strokes before getting to the edge
of the green. He used another
stroke to gain the carpet and then
took two puts.

This being So" the judge
said, "the act of congress under
taking to leagallZe the manu1ac.
ture. sale and transportation OF
beer containing not more than
80 per cent of alcohol by weight,
is unconstitutional, null and void
as being violative of the 18th
amendment to the federal con-
stitution."
The petitioners, who annOunc-
ed plans to appeal the case, con-
tended that seizure of the beer
violated interstate commerce reg
ulations.

Marvin Underwood. 1t is pc
tition for relief brought by the

What They Say
About Business Conditions
in Hendersonville

E. w. HAM, manager J. c.
Penney Co.-"Our books for
the month were closed today
and we were pleased to note an
increase in business over May
of last year-the first increase
in many months over the cor
responding period of the pre-
vious year. While this increase
was not due to price advances,
as none had been made to the
retail trade, it is true that
wholesale prices in almost every
line are advancing rapidly. This
is particularly noticeable in
cotton and wooden merchandise,
and when present stocks are
sold out, buyers will pay more
for household materials and
wearables than they have paid
for a year or more"

COTTON SCARS
Up Is POINTS
Several Factors in Boom
Enriching Growers by
$5O,OOO,OO0

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 81.
(UP).-Ten-cent cotton was post
ed on the boards of the New Or
leans cotton exchange yesterday
for the first time since July, 1881.
The market scared 25 points, or
SIPS a bale, in a holiday furry
Tuesday, and for a third success
sive day of trading, cotton reach
ed new highs for 1888. Yesterday
prices rose above the high marks
of last August, and touched new
peak for the last two years. May
contracts moved into four figures
and closed at 1911 cents a pound.
Optimism ran rampant through
the cotton trade Tuesday. Buying
was general and contracts became
scarce. There were favorable
trade reports from the federal re-
serve bank at Atlanta to spur on
the boom. Spinners bought heav-
lily and foreign firms joined in the
rush.
Spot cotton closed at 9.35 and
was $40 points, or SIT a bale high
er than the 5:95-cent-a-pOund quo
tatiOn of March /, when the cot
ton exchange suspended business
for three weeks during the bank
holiday.
Initiation, better business and
brighter prospects for the future
all have played big parts in the
cotton boom. Prices have been on
the upgrade for 10 weeks Set
backs have been slight and temp
Orary, and for the past two weeks,
the advance has gained impetus
almost daily.
1t is estimated from records al
the cotton exchange, that farmers
are holding about 100000 bales
Of cotton from previous crops
Hundreds of thousands of bales
have moved to market in recent
weeks, as farmers took advantage
of the risinr market. and en- the
basis of the cotton still held off
the market it is estimated that
southern farmers still holding cot
ton are $50,000,000 richer than
they were three months ago.
