A Cheer for RunyGn
They Say He Walks Out
There and Bangs AUGy

NEW YORK, July 31.-A
couple of charming blondes
were courteously but firmly in
vited off a golf course up in
Westchester county the other
dav for wearing shorts while
they went about tearing sod
from the good brown earth.
That's one Of the reasons I
have never paid much atten-
ton to golf-my shorts game
Is bad.
But even guy who reads
the golf news only as he runs
for the ball park or the race
track gets an inkling now and
then of what is going on
around those outdoor pool par
lors. Thus I have found out
belatedly, but correctly I be-
lieve, that Paul Runyan, of
White Plains. N. Y, won the
P. G.. A. title at Buffalo on
Sunday. Exactly what the
letters P. G. A. stand for need
not concern us here. For our
purposes let us say that they
stand for putt, gasp and alibi.
The alibi is COLTS favorite shot
anyhow, isn't it?
What chiefly interests me
about Runyan's victory is that
I'm told that he is a fellow
who goes out there and punches
that dimpled rubber marble
around more or less willy-nilly
and come what will. In my
innocent and childish ignor-
ance, I have always had a
stubborn idea that this was the
proper way to play golf.
In passing golf courses ON
my way somewhere to have
fun, have noted victims twist
ing themselves about like an
adagio dancer with a severe
attack of cramps, and it has
invariably been my reaction
that there was something wrong
with that picture.
It may be my abysmal igno-
rance that leads me to believe,
and say, such things, but I can't
help feeling that the way to hit
O golf ball is to hit it.
Play Golf For Fun
LET lis saw at a rough guess
that 80 per cent Of those who
play golf have no excuse for
playing except that they get fun
out of it. Who is there that
honestly believes that there is
any semblance of fun in trying
to remember a set of compli-
Gated instructions and in try
ing to adapt the body to posi-
tions it was never meant to
take?
For the possible 10 per cent
who are physically and men
tally naturally adapted to the
game, certain of those rules and
tips may be valuable. But only
the ones that are suited to his
style.
To use an example with which
7 will feel safer and more at
home, you couldn't make Rogers
Hornsby and Hack Wilson the
same sort of hitter if you tried
for ten thousand years, more
or less. Hornsby is a great nat
ural hitter with swing that is
seemingly effortless. Wilson is
not a natural hitter. and he
spins like jolly round top when
he misses the ball.
But both men have achieved
some measure of success at the
plate in their time. So, I be-
lieve, would more golfers shoot
smaller scores if left to club
the ball around in their natural
styles. The Lord knows that

England Believes Americans
Oppose Debt Payment

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June ia government
spokesman today ridiculed q sugges-
tion, made In some parliamentary
circles, that Great Britain give Ber-
nluda or some island possession to
the United States In settlement OF the
British war debt.
'sThe suggestion cannot very well
be taken seriously the government
spokesman said. In the past the ON
cial attitude, when such questions
have been raised, was that the gov
ernment Is unwilling to alienate
British subjects by compulsion under
any circumstances.
Proposals that the government con-
slider ceding an island possession as
war debt payment ''in kind'' came
from Arthur Evans, Conservative
member of the House of Commons,
who said he will take the suggestion
into the Commons next week.
The cabinet meanwhile continued
a leisurely study Of the suggestion of
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull that
debt payments be made partially in
goods. 1t was regarded unlikely
there will be any official action until
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambas-
sador at Washington, makes q report
on the American reaction to Secre-
tary Hull's note. The impression here
Is that the American press generally
reflects opposition to payment In

+ LONDON, June d5.-As q counter
measure to the German moratorium
the British government soon will pro-
pose legislation enabling 1t to set up
an Anglo-German clearing ONCE,
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor Of
the exchequer. told the House Of Com
mons today. =
The government, however, would be
prepared to refrain from exercising
its powers under such q measure,
Chamberlain said, IF q satisfactory
agreement insuring fair treatment to
merce can be negotiated before
July l."
Great Britain's Ambassador to Ber-
lin has informed the German govern
ment to this effect, Chamberlain re-
vealed. Detailed arrangements and
particular bonds to which these ar
rangements will apply will be worked
cut as soon as possible, he added.
Il should add that any one who
purchases German bonds now held by
foreigners, does so at his own risk, u
the chancellor warned.
The chancellor did not give details
Of the British proposals, but the gen.
eral effect If clearing house Is es-
tabliShed will be to impound Ger
many's favorable trade balance with
Britain.
All Anglo German trade would pass
through the clearing Office. British
importers Of German goods would
make their payments into it: British
exporters to Germany would be paid
through it. As Britain now buys more
from Germany than she sells to her,
the balance Of payments not favorable
to Germany would be seized to meet
creditors claims.

persons friendly to the Nazis such as
DR.. Anton Rintelen, former governor

Contrasting with these expressions
of optimism were the suppression of

are many who think the debt problem
has settled itself.
When France failed to pay the
$59, 900 ,2f8.57 due today she became
$141, ,093, ,759.44 in arrears. Her debt
Of $4,02s, ,o00,00 funded April 20,
1925, remains after six years Of pay
ing and two years Of defaulting about
$20, ,0Oo, 600 less than 1t was.
Interest Rate Low.
The United States, In Its 62-year
payment plan, requested by France,
figured interest ut about IS per cent.
Although interest on the Liberty loan
bonds Is much higher. financial ex-
perts estimate that eventually the
average interest win be about 8 per
cent. On that basis, the reduction Of
the French debt would be about 80
per cent.
Last year In Parliament there were
suggestions the United States should
cut the debt to 10 cents on the dollar
because the Lausanne settlement with
Germany provided for reparation pay
ments at about that rate. Since few
have hopes Germany ever will pay
reparations again, there is growing
in France q movement for disregard
Of the debts to America. Four sue
cessive defaults without any sudden
ending Of the world has given rise to
public expressions that debts are gone
the way of reparations.
Ignores Suggestion.
France ignores President Roosevelt's
suggestion, in his message to Con-
gress, that debtors might devote some
Of their armament expense to settling
their war bills. Instead she Is pro-
ceeding with an emergency outlay of
nearly 5000, ,0o0, 900 francs to fortify
against Germany, q sum that is more
than enough to pay the 41,093,-
759. A Of the four defaults.
Premier Doumergue is credited with
an earnest desire to settle the debt
problem for the sake Of commerce and
safety.
Former Premier Edouard Herriot,
now q minister In the cabinet, still
advocates debt payment, but he, like
all who favor payment insist there
must be further reduction.
