w YITH Al Houghton on his
M way to Pinehurst to prac-
Wv tice for three days in ad-


South open, Fred Mcleod
was the only Washington entrant re-
naming in the Masters golf tour
ney at Augusta today. And Fred was
far back of the leaders, in a dolorous
spot to collect any of the $1,000 prize
money.
Houghton. after scoring 79 yester-
day to add to his II of the previous
day for a l56 total left the tourna-
ment fiat and pulled out for Pinehurst
by motor. Mcleod added an 81 to
his first round of 80, and was 10
strokes behind the leader, in a spot
where only superhuman golf would
earn him money position.
Houghton predicted before he left
Washington that he would not play
we'll, for neither he nor Mcleod has
had much chance to practice during
the last two months. The Kenwood
pro had a couple of good rounds over
his home course last week, but playing
over course where he knows every
blade of grass is far different from
playing a strange layout in tough COM
petition.

Straight Off the Tee

Both Mcleod and Houghton plan
to compete In the North and South,
which Freddie won several years ago.
Houghton tied for the Midsouth open
championship in November, 1882, and
with his ability to chip and putt
should be among the leaders next
week
With Jones playing the way he is
going. and the pros ploughing along
in the same old relentless fashion, the
bottom seems to have dropped out Of
the Augusta tourney, in so far as the
comeback of the one-time Emperor is
concerned.
Without Jones up there shooting fer
the lead, the tournament is just an
other Winter affair. And Bob sadly
needs touch of his old-time wizardry
today to bring him back into a posi-
tion where he can scrap it out with
the leaders over the final round to-
morrow. He was eight strokes back
of Horton Smith as the third round
started today.

Nothing would be more Appro- priate to begin this column to-day than to extend our personal con- gratulations to WATR on the be- ginning of regular Sunday broad- casting activities. It is a definite step ahead on the part of this city's own station and only further proves the purpose the station has of being of real service to its listening pull lc.
 One feature of the first Sum- days programs that reserves spe- cial mention is the acquisition Of Fritzi Scheff as star on one of the commercial programs. To the station and to the sponsor whd is going to such expense to bring this special program to the air.
 Here's good luck to WATR to- morrow and on all Sundays and ali days thereafter....
 Yesterday we had the pleas-
 ure of a visit to the Hitchcock
 Lake summer home of the
 glamOrOus Fritzi and we
 found that the personality
 which sent itself across the

 cessful musical plays is still as
 electric and vibrant as ever.
 Years may have passed since
 the night that F'ritzi first sang
 "Kiss Me Again" but yester-

 she can never grow old; she is
 too flied with enthusiasm and

 Tomorrow, we feel sure,

 Fritzi Scheff will be a warm,

By the time the cast of the Byrd Expedition, pro. gram get into the small broadcast ing shack it's pretty crowded and there isn't much room for spec tators. The non-performers have to sit in the mess hall and listen to the show "off the air." That is all but seven of them have to do that. The seven privileged char acters who get into the radio studio no matter how crowded it is are litter of malemute pups born in the dim recesses of Dog Town dur ing the winter night. They travel about in their own exclusive pack and show up every Wednesday night at KFZ (without studio pass es) to attend the broadcast. Char ley Murphy, CBS production man and announcer at Little America just has to let them in. He says it's their personality that gets him.

Fri.zi Mour1s
 Friends Death

Tomorrow afternoon, while Fritzi Scheff faces a micro phone in WATERS studios there will lie in New York, in the stiffness of death, the man who brought her to fame when he introduced her to New York theatrical audiences Charles B. Dillingham;.
 Tomorrow afternoon, if there's n catch in the voice of Fritzi Scheff as she sings to entertain the radio audience it can be attributed to the fact that her mind is with her old and dear friend-the man with whom she had exchanged her faith and trust for many years. How bitter will seem to her then, the old stage adage, "The show must go On," for Fritzi Schcff will be aching and longing to be at the bier of her old associate, to look down reverently and lovingly at his silent figure, to comfort his relatives. But instead, she must go on the air; she never questioned that from the mo- ment that she heard the news of the death of Charles Dill- ingham. Fritzi is an old trOuper and none but an old trOuper can know her feel ings as she sings tomorrow.
 Tomorrow afternoon, when Fritzi finishes her broadcast at 2 o'clock, she will go down from the studio to enter fast car that will speed her to New York and the realization thats few figures of the old Broadway are left.
 Tomorrow afternoon, Fritz Scheff goes on the air.
