stance and frequently they do not
have q standard grip. And usually
they overlook the most important
factor of all, which is nothing less
than concentration on the job at
hand. You have Az Inch hole and
a lot Of rolls and contours over which
the ball must be rolled. It's no easy
Job to get the ball into that hole. No
matter how short they are they can
be missed. So I have concentrated
on the business of getting that ball
into the hole in the fewest number
of strokes. may not be a fine putter,
but I guess I am a little better than
average. Your ordinary golfer for
gets the concentration sector when
he steps up to a 10-footer. He may
hit behind the ball, he may top it,
he may pull it off line or he may do
any one Of a number of things such
as hitting too hard or too short. But
if he concentrates on the line, and
on a smooth stroke, he is pretty apt
to end somewhere close to that hole.
Target Is Small.
"A FTER all it is a fairly small
"A target to hit. But If he will
concentrate on it, and make
up his mind to roll that ball right
over the spot where the hole is cut,
he is going to get fairly good results"
Houghton says that no man can
win big tournament without putting
well. Down there within feet of
the hole championships are won and
lost" Houghton AYERS. THE man
who is knocking in all the Shooters
and occasionally getting down Is
footer is the man who wins. The one
who misses a few 3-footers usually
finishes back. So putting is the
secret Of it all, and concentration is
the secret of good putting"
You wouldn't think so to see the
smooth h-stroking machine which is
Houghton of today that six years ago
he was an ordinary putter; that he
feared the 3-foot putt more than
any shot in the game; that he never
went far as an amateur because
he couldn't knock in those innocl-
ous-looking little puts. AS a pro he
Is changed man, man who can
putt along with the best of them.
And AL credits his rise in putting on
his determination to concentrate.

Pinch Ringer Saves Title
Virginia TwirIers Open
Qualifying Round.

NY VIRTUE Of a ringer thrown
- In the nick of time, Maryland's S
horse shoe champion, Lee
O Fleshman, is in the State final
to be pitched tonight in de-
Tense Of his title.
He will meet Rolph FARRELL. Univer-
sity Of Maryland student, who last
night at Brentwood established a
record for The Evening Star metro
politan championships by shooting 16
ringers in 20 shoes. This bit of skill
helped carry the lanky youngster
through the first round with w. Grit
nth as quick victim.
The contest tonight, on the Brent
wood municipal layout, will start at
8 o'clock.
Jarrell's performance marked him
as a leading contender for the metro
politan title held by Clayton Henson
of Arlington, Va, who, in recent in
formal test, circled the peg more than
80 times in 100 pitches.
Merryman Beaten.
TLESHMAN'S near-conqueror was
Ed Kruse, who grabbed the
first game of a semi-hnai
match, SOFT, and thereafter put
up q tiger scrap. Fleshman won
the second 50-40, but came out
by the skin of his teeth in
the deciding skirmish. With the
score 49-all, he put on ringer after
Kruse missed slightly with both irons.
One of Jarrell's victims was Joe
Merryman, former Maryland cham
pion, who got away to a flying start
with a win of 50-43. FARRELL took
the next two with identical scores Of
SOFAS, 5O-45. 1t was a touch-and-
20 battle all the way.
The surprise of the tournament was
15-year old r. Frey, jr., who lost a
stiff contest with w. Barber. Pitch
ing a shoe that rivaled his own weight,
the little lad kept the pegs hot with
ringers and carried an experienced
opponent into third game.
Fleshman, KruSe, FARRELL and Mer-
ryman, by reaching the semi-finals,
qualified for the Metropolitan District
play-offs, to be held August 80 and
81 on the lexington Recreation Center
courts The defeated quarter-f1nalists,
George Schnabele, Ed Brady, Ray
mond Beall and w. Barber, will shoot
for the fifth place in Maryland's dele
cation In the Metropolitan play-ofts.
Virginians Play Next.
"HE best pitched game last night
ii was Jarrell's first against Grif-
fifth, which he started with sew
en- consecutive ringers and wound up
with a percentage of Ct.
The qualifying test for the Vir-
ginia play-offs will get under way
tonight, with the play-offs slated for
Thursday and Friday nights on the

v Y hard with driver. But
they pay of on the puts.
That's where we win or lose"
Johnny Farrell, the dapper, debo-
nair 1928 national open champion, thus
described the attitude of the pro-
fessional golfer toward the most i'm
portant stroke in the game of golf
the putt-or the shot that knocks
the ball into the hole.
If there is one department of the
game in which AL Houghton, Ken
wood pro and Maryland State cham
pion, excels, it is this same business
of putting. Anywhere, in the sector
around the the hole, Houghton can
be depended upon to do his stuff.
And yet he claims he is an indif-
ferent putter-that he isn't nearly
as good around the cup as the gents
who win national championships. AS
an amateur, a half dozen years back,
he hit the ball from tee to green,
virtually as well as he does today.
The greatest improvement in his
game-the segment of scoring where
he has been transformed from a $3.50
amateur into good professionals in
the work around the putting green.

Charlestown, w. Va, Oct. H.
Police Friday retained Walter
Childres, %, in custody for ques-
tioning about the kidnapping in
Louisville, KY, Of Mrs. Alice Stoll
but Chief Of Police John Britton
said Il am convinced he had no
connection with the kidnapping"
Louisville, KY, Oct. 12-R-The
ransom demanded for Mrs. Alice
Speed stoll has been paid and the
family awaits the kidnaper's fulfill
ment Of promises, was the announce
ment here Friday by Berry v. Stoll,
husband of the young society woman
who was slugged and forced from
their home late Wednesday. The
ransom note had named the demand
as $4,000 but the stoll announcement
did not mention the sum.
The statement said:
I'VE have carefully followed in
structions, met all ransom require
ments, and are awaiting fulfillment
of promises.
"The parties may act freely without
tear or hindrance.
Berry v. Stoll."
The statement that all ransom re-
quirements had been met was taken
to mean definitely that the money
had been paid, and the fate OF pretty
Alice Stoll hung for the time being on
whether the one who made the Fan
som demand would keep his promise.
Details Unexplained
Whether Stoll's announcement
meant the money actually had been
given the man who kidnapped Mrs.
Stoll or had been given to persons
designated by him, remained unex-
planned as there was no comment when
the formal statement was given to
newspapermen, in Stoll's behalf.
The reference In the Stoll announce
ment to parties" was the first IN
timation that more than one person
had been involved in the kidnapping
of the former Bryn Mawr student and
Junior League member, daughter Of
William S. Speed, retired capitalist.
The Stoll family obtained complete
isolation Of Berry Stoll's 16-acre es-
tate Friday after day Of futile watt
ing for a contact by the kidnaper.
Through Thursday night they waited
for word, the place standing almost
deserted. with extra telephone lines
installed.
Make Secret Trips
Friday morning at OILS o'clock Berry
Stoll, hatless and apparently greatly
excited, roared out of the driveway
in roadster. Another man was with
him.
The car swung down Lime Kiln
road, which borders the estate and
headed into Kentucky. The emissaries
took the narrow, winding, irregular
trail at high speed, not slowing up for
turns or the frequent hills.
A few miles away Berry Stoll was
transferred to q faster car on the
Brownsboro road and held his way
south, still speeding the limit Of his
machines capacity.

SHARP INCREASE IN
FOREIGN Buying OF
SILVER DISCLOSED
Treasury Moves to Forestall
Criticism by SiIverites in
Next Congress

Washington, Oct. l2.-R-A sharp
increase in the purchase Of foreign
silver has been made by the treasury
it was disclosed in Off
cial sources Friday.
The disclosure comes at time
when the governments monetary pol
icy commands increasing attention
because of inflationary talk in Wall
Street. There was no official ex-
planation for the move, but congress
meets in January and if the faster
pace Of buying were maintained until
then, it might help forestall criticism
from silverites in congress.
The silverites favor vigorous pur-
chasing program to attain the goal
set by the silver legislation passed at
the last session. This provides that
eventually silver shall attain q ratio
Of one-to-three with gold as backing
for the nations currency.
II purchases were continued at the
pace Of q few weeks ago, the buying
program probably would extend over
two years or more. Approximately
1000, 900 600 ounces have yet to be
acquired before the one-to-three ra-
ito Is attained.
Though there are various conflict
ing opinions as to the possible effect
Of this silver program, advocates OF
increased use Of the metal in the
monetary system have contended it
would increase commodity prices and
property values.
President Roosevelt feels that
somewhat higher prices are needed.
This was made clear Wednesday and
6 traders studied the declaration yes
terday. attempting to guage the pos
sibilities. bullish : sentiment caused
stocks and commodities to advance.
Published reports that officials are
considering plan to reduce the con-
tent Of the silver dollar were scout
ed In informed treasury circles today.
Although the president has such pow
er, there was said to be no indication
that he intends to use 1t.
