the victims Of lynchers who
seized the pair and hanged them

ager at Sledge, Miss.

He played marvellous golf, con-

AT the start of the third round
little sawed-off Bob Cruickshank

Back in second place was Gene

countered.
Witty Cox was in third place at

Champion Out Of 1t
There is an unwritten law that
no man, starting more than seven
strokes behind the lead in the
final two rounds, has even a
fighting chance. If that is the
case, Johnny Goodman, 1888
champion, is completely out of
focus. Goodman had a II yes
terday, which with his 76 the
day before gave him two un-
inspired rounds, totaling 1853. AS
for Lawson Little, recent winner
of the British Amateur Cham
pionship. he came bounding
back with a 70 yesterday but it
was too late. His SO of the day
before left Mr.. Little without a
great deal in the way of re-
joinder.
At 148 and, therefore, still
having a fighting chance, were
such as Henri. Ciuci, Macdonald
Smith and Joe Kirkwood.
There were lot of poSsibili-
ties grouped at 149, including
Charley Lacey, KY Laffoon,
Jimmy Thompson, Willie Hun
ter, Johnny Revolta, and others.
But the day has not come when
a golfer in a National Open
Championship can start seven
strokes behind the lead and come
on to win.
Bliss Is Eliminated
Rodney Bliss, the Omaha anna
teur, who was up there with the
leader at lat, definitely elimi-
mated himself by taking an 50
this morning.
Jack Westland. Chicago's
Walker Cup man, also was bad,
taking an 81 for a total Of 234,
with Reggie Myles, Ashland,
Ohio, taking an "a for 239.
Gunnard Johnson, st. Paul,
added to the general gaiety with
an 80 for 235, but Johnny Re
volta, Milwaukee, did little
better. He took a II for a total
of 1926. Paul Runyan, playing
with Revolta, completely lost his
touch on and around the green
and took a 70 for a total Of 231.
Bobby Cruickshank, Richmond,
Va, sacrificed a great deal of
his grimIy-earned lead by taking
40 strokes to the turn, with
Whiffy Cox picking up two
strokes by taking a 38.

the leadership that brought order
out of the chaos that reigned in
San Domingo when the news OF
the French Revolution precipitat-
ed the island into a frenzy of re-

brought to 100000 slaves their first
taste of freedom. His was the lead
ership that invited back TO the
land. with promise OF safety that
was kept, the emigrant white
planters who had flown the fury of
a slave revolt. His was the lead
ership that sent his own victorious
troops back TO the SOIL, with the
words: Go back and work on the
estates you have conquered; for
an empire can be founded only
on order and industry and you can
learn these virtues only there"
