NEA Service Sports Writer

There are several brilliant young
golf professionals and amateures
whose prematurely inflated chests
are destined to be collapsed March
rs. They are youngsters who have
risen to the heights since Bobby
Jones retirement in 1880, and who
entertain hopes of beating the '"old
man. in his comeback" on his own
course at Augusta, Ga, this month.
There are several points in favor
of Jones winning the Augusta in
vitational. One is that he knows the
course bdindfolded, having aided
DR. Alister Mackenzie, the disting-
uished scot, in designing it after
famous courses in this country and
England. Another Is that he has
established par of ~ himself on
the 6700-yard course, and he holds
the course record.
The big factors in Jones favor
is psychological. While his layoff
since 1880 and the classification OF
him as veteran doing a comeback
makes him appear as graybeard
with creaking joints, it must be re-
membered that Bobby isn't old for
golfer. On March II he turned
80. And that isn't old for his game
didn't Michael Scott take the
British amateur at SIS last year?
Jones was the greatest drawing
card in golf. An an amateur, he was
gold mine to the United States
Golf association, and it is figured
that every shot he plaed in open
competition was worth 500 to that
organization.
It's little wonder that officials
found his lost balls, made special
rulings on hazards, swept water
soaked green's and started him with
hand-picked partners and at prefer
red times when he competed. And
he was worth every bit of that
coddling.
His record isn't even approached
in the annals of golf. He played in
II American opens and four Brit
ish. He won seven. He played in 13
American amatures and won five,
and two British amateurs and won
one. He is the only amateur in the
world to win the British and Amer
lean opens and amateurs in one
year-193O.
The pictures the old-timers bring
out of the past every time Jones
comeback is discussed arc:
That spoon shot on the 18th at
Interlachen to break the heart OF
COLTS unluckiest guy, Mac Smith
The birdie four at Scioto in 1926
that won the amateur for him
The 12-foot putt that curled in
on the final hole at Winged Foot TO
tie with AL Espinosa after drop
ping a siX-stroke lead
That putt at Merton in 1880 that
sank sent Gene Romans to defeat
and won the amateur-after having
won the British amateur and open
and the U. s. open
The long puts he pushed homo
across the double green's at st An
drewS-
That tremendous putt on the last
green at Interlachen in 1880 that
again beat Mac Smith and won for
Jones the open title.
Thos epics of the game came
from the clubs of a fellow who
ruled the fairways for seven years.
And the next seven years may see
many more.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-20

One of their men, Red Horner,
even ran away in the penalty race
with LAG minutes in the box.
Charlie Conacher, big righ-
winger, led in both goals ana
points, with 80 and So, respectively:
Another member of the Leafs

Primeau, had the most assists, ~.
He also came second in the league
and international division in points,
with 46.

The third Toronto forward
Harvey Jackson, was third In his
division with 38 points. but he
was topped by Frank Boucher
center of the New York Rangers,
who led the American division Twin
A points.
Marty Barry of the Boston
Bruins was the best goal shooter
in the American division, with -.
while Boucher led that group IN
assists, with 30.

of the Rangers as the leagues point
leader. Last year, Bill combined

liant goalie of the Chicago Black

Meet. Tonight

Montreal, March 20-(UP)-
The New York Rangers, defending
champions, and the Montreal
Maroons clash tonight at the For
UNI in the opening series of the
Stanley cup play-offs.
1t is an encounter between clubs
who occupy third place in the
American and International divi-
sions, of the National Hockey
league. l..
Total goals in two games will
decide which team shall continue
the quest for the worlds profess
sional hockey championship. To-
nights contest will last the regula-
ton so minutes, only, but the sec
ond game, at New York Sunday
night, will be battled to a finish in
case the goal totals are tied at the
end of the regulation three periods.
The other four clubs in the
play-offs will start their two series
Thursday night.
Although the Rangers open the
series on foreign ice they are slight
favorites, largely because they had
the better of the six games played
with the Maroons during the sea-
son. The New Workers won three,
lost two and tied one.

BUILDING
BILL PUSHED

Pointing out that Congress is
expected to adjourn within a

partment of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today urged i'm
mediate passage of home financ-
ing legislation.
In a letter to Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New
Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, M. j. McDon-
ough, president of the trades
department, said:
'MOst economists agree that
real prosperity cannot be ex-
pected until there is resump-
ton in activities in the build
ing of residences.
"ThiS industry cannot be left
in a paralyZed condition much
longer, but it will be unless ac-
ton is taken before the present

NEW LIQUOR TAX
PLAN DRAWN

District officials today were pre-
pairing machinery to put into oper
alton the Districts new liquor tax
stamp bill, which became law yes
terday, when it was signed by
President Roosevelt.
Under the plan as outlined to-
day by Corporation Counsel E
Barrett Prettyman, taxes for
April, which must be paid by May
IS, will be collected as at present,
through a system of reports by
dealers of their purchases during
the month.
Taxes for May will be collected
in the same manner, since the
stamp law will not be effective
until June l. However, on June
all dealers will be required to
submit an inventory of all taxable
liquors in their possession at the
close of business May 81.
These inventories will be checked
against their May tax returns, Mr..
Prettyman said, and if they are
found to be correct stamps will be
given the merchants for all liquor
in stock at the time of inventory.
After June I, the Corporation
Counsel warned, any merchant
having unstamped, taxable liquor
in his possession will be subject to
prosecution.

BUDGET BUREAU
HEAD TEST|F|ES
ON D. {. NEEDS
Senate Committee to Recon-
mend $5,700,00O Lump
Sum, 1t Is Indicated

Indications that the Senate
District appropriations Subcom-
mittee will recommend at least
the budget estimate of $5,700,00O
as the Federal Government lump
sum contribution to the District
were strong today following the
appearance of Budget Director
Lewis w. Douglas before that
group.
At the same time, however, it
was learned the Budget Bureau
in all probability will transmit
no further supplemental esti-
mates for the District to the
Congress this session. Supple
mental appropriations above
what already has been appro-
priated, totalling about $780,
900, were requested by the Dis
trict Commissioners for schools,
clinics and other purposes.
No Increase Seen
Senator Elmer Thomas Cd
Of Oklahoma, chairman of the
subcommittee, said following the
meeting today that he does not
expect these supplemental esti-
mates to be recommended.
Both Director Douglas and
members of the subcommittee as
serted when the conference
ended today that the meeting
had been Extremely beneficial"
but added that there were no
conclusions reached, and that the
principal accomplishment was a
better understanding of the en-
tire situation by the subcommittee
members.
Mr.. Douglas appearance be-
fore the subcommittee today
marks the first time in the mem
ory of veteran legislators that
the budget director has come
personally before congressional
committee.
Friendly to d. C.
It is generally conceded that a
majority of the subcommittee
members are inclined to be friend
ly toward the District, and were
displeased at the apparent arbi-
trary action of the House in re-
ducing the lump sum amount
from that recommended by the
budget to $4,365. 900, and in max
ing certain other reductions in
the District appropriations.
Senator Thomas said today that
his subcommittee. during the
next two or three days, will hear
arguments of representatives of
the various civic organizations for
increases in the items contained
in the bill, and will then hear the
District officials in a final state
ment.
It was indicated the bill may
be ready to report to the Senate
by the end Of this week, or early
next week.

MILAN OFFERS
. BY TELEGRAPH
To QUIT JOB
Direct Result of Proposed
Law to Reduce Body
to Mere Advisors

w. w. MILAN, chairman of the
Board of Public Welfare, today
telegraphed to the District Com
miSSioners his resignation as a
member of the board. His action
is said by other members of the
board to be the direct result Of
proposed legislation to take away
the administrative powers of the
welfare board and relegate that
body to an advisory capacity.
The proposed legislation, now
pending in Congress, would place
the handling of all welfare and
relief matters in the hands Of the
Director of Public Welfare who,
in turn, would be directly reSpon-
sible to the Commissioners.
"Waste of Time"
According to other members Of
the board, Mr.. MILAN feels that 1t
would be a "waste of time" to con-
tinue on the board if this change
Is made. His telegram, sent from
Jackson, Miss, where he is at
tending a church conference,
reads:
81 hereby tender my reSigna-
tiOn as member of the Board
of Public Welfare of the District
of Columbia, respectfully re-
queSting early acceptance"
The Commissioners indicated
they would accept the resignation.
Judge M. M. Doyle, another
member of the Welfare Board and
chairman of the committee on
penal institutions, also objects to
the proposed welfare law and will
resign if it is enacted, he admitted
today.
Judge Doyle said that, if the
board is placed in the position Of
an advisory body, he feels his SER
vices will be needed no longer.
The Washington times., 1934-05-01
RELIEF
FACING GUT

That the District, along with
every State in the Union, will
have it's Federal relief funds
drastically reduced by the Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admins
tration during the coming months
was indicated at FERA head
quarters today.
The intimation came when Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins, in
announcing that he had reduced
the grant to Pennsylvania for
May by 25 per cent, declared
"other States can expect about
the same in the immediate Gu-
ture."
Reduction in the monthly
grants is necessary, Mr.. Hopkins
pointed out, to carry the pro-
gram on as long as possible.

SECOND BONUS
MARCH LOOMS

Bloody riots of a bonus army
march nearly two years ago were
recalled today as the threat Of
another invasion this week was
laid on the door steps of the
White House.
The Veterans National Rank
and File Committee, said to be a
left wing" organization, in a
letter to President Roosevelt de-
clared large delegations of former
soldiers from Chicago, New York
and other points are on their way
here to demand relief for destitute
former service men.
The committee, according to the
letter it made public but receipt
of which was denied at the White
House, has demanded a permit to
stage a parade and a conference
to discuss measures for the care
Of veterans while here.

BUS To REPLACE

Bus service probably will be
started Thursday on Four-and-a-
half Street Southwest, replacing
the street car line, it was learned
today, as the Public Utilities Com
mission prepared an order author
izing rerouting of the Anacostia
line.
This will result in abandonment
of the tracks, as we'll as those
on Constitution and Missouri
Avenues.
The Ninth Street line will be
turned back north of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Northwest.
