However, circumstances willed
otherwise, but, though thwarted
personally, she gained a certain
amount of satisfaction when her
kid brother, inspired no little by
Rena, took up chemistry and
succeeded so we'll that now he is
the director of the chemistry de-
partment Of a Richmond plant.
She is as proud of his success
as If it were her own.
Rena has two all-consuming
hobbies and she hardly knows
which she likes best, duckpin
statistics and pinochle. For nearly
a decade she has been a statis-
tician for the Washington City
Duckpin Association annual mems
tournament.
Says Lonnie Krauss:
"She knows more about the
w. G. d. A. records and win
ners than any one else in
town."
She is also one of the best
pinochle players around these
parts and is always ready to
while away a few hours NEEDING
kings or aces.
Native of City
Rena is a native of the Capt.
tai, taking her first squint at
daylight opposite the District
Building, where Tiber Greek used
to wend its way a century ago.
She makes no bones over her
birthdate. It was August %,
1901.
She left Central in 1919 and
became the manager of a salvage
company for several years until
business got bad and then OBJ
tanned a position as assistant
credit manager for a local jew
elry store.
She played basketball both at
school and outside. In one game,
while side centering for the Bu-
reau Sextette, she had Lorraine
GULL, one Of the Business High
stars, as an opponent.
She made her duckpin debut
in startling fashion. Utterly un-
known and owning no league
averages she entered the annual
tournament in 1921 and won the
all-events.
Joins Bureau Team
The next year she was a mem
ber of the Bureau team in the
Washington Ladies League and
finished eighth in averages. From
1925 to 1880 she was runner-up
for high averages to Lorraine
GULL for four years and to Cath
crime Quigley the year GULL was
touring the South. Illness forced
her out of competition 10 years
ago.
She did not roll in the Ladies
District League until the season
of 1928-29, but that year she
finished fourth and the next
year she topped the field.
. She is a brilliant tournament
bowler, three times winning the
city tournament all-events, twice
annexing the singles and twice
sharing the doubles crown with
GULL.
Another remarkable perform
ance of hers is finishing in the
runner-up position in the first two
sweepstakes she entered.
She was second in the Meyer
Davis Sweepstakes two years age
and gained the same place in the
third annual Washington Times
Ladies Dixie Stakes, the past Jan
uary.
Last season she hung up a III
worlds record game in the Ladies
District League which stood ur
until a New England girl topped i:
recently. However, it is still a
Central-South Atlantic mark.
Rena captained the Columbians
to a pennant in the Washington
Ladies' League in 1880, beating the
Beeques out on total pins. She is
secretary-treasurer Of both major
women leagues and has been for
two seasons.
She was rated second to Gull in
the country in 1890, and placed
fourth in 1929 and sixth in 1881
James Baker rates her one of the
al-time bowlers Of the city.

tional course was the best bally-
hooed gold carnival he had known
in his 20 years of playing golf in
80 countries. Joe, incidentally,
laughs at the gentleman in one Of
Ripley's drawings who claims that
he has played more difficult golf
courses than any other man. He
adds:
From what he says 1 figure
he has played about q third as
many as 1 have. 1 have kept
careful tabs on all the courses 1
have played and to date have
been around more than 1900
different courses. If there is
any other golfer in the world
who can come close to that fig
ure, I'll be glad to match rec
OrdS and "reminiscences with
him."
Even now Kirkwood is prepar-
ing to start on a year long tour
with his partner Gene Sarazen,
the golfer-aviator. They had
planned to take off by air for
South America today and keep
playing golf almost continuously
through that country, America,
Europe, Canada, Japan, China,
etc., until they returned for the
California tournament early next
winter.
Sarazen Changes Mind
Now, however, there may be a
short delay in their take-off, as
Sarazen seems to have reconsid,
cred his decision not to play at
Augusta. If Gene takes part in
the Jones tourney Kirkwood prob.
ably will. too. But, in any case,

er who never took a drink or
smoked a cigarette in his life,
likely has made more money out
of golf than any other player. If
not it hasn't been for want of
keeping in action. He never
stops, and there were periods last
season when he and Sarazen were
playing as many as 46 18 hole
matches in 48 days. Which was
a lot of golf, anyway the people
wanted to look at it.
But Joe figures it is better for
a golfer to wear out than to
rust out. In which connection
he says of his and everybody
else's friend, Walter Hagen:
"There'S still lots Of good
golf left in him, but instead Of
keeping his head down and fol-
lowing through, walter is keep
ing his head down and swallow.

that he's losing confidence in
himself and the one thing
golfer must have above all else
is confidence"

"A 10Th Hole Golfer
Talks With KirklUOOd
Who Picks Jones to
RY BILL CORUM

CORAL GABLES, Fla, March
Isl am one of those fellows
who think one game Of golf q
year is enough. To be absolutely
frank, I thing one game a year
is too much, but I am broad by
inclination and training, and
willing to make any reasonable
concession. So borrowed big
bag of clubs from an inveterate
golfer around the hotel and set
out bright and early to shoot q
few brides, or fish, or whatever
turned up to be shot. Arriving at
the Miami-Biltmore Club, I turned
the sack Of strange implements
that had been intruSted to my
care over to q little colored boy
who was almost half as tall as
the bag he was expected to lug
around-one of the things I like
about golf is that it is cash but
not carry.
Another thing about golf is that
the law against child labor hasn't
got around to it. Big, strap
ping men, who stand 6 feet and 2
inches in their golf shoes and
weigh 228 coming off the last
green, march gaily around in the
sunshine while a kid, no bigger
than a minute, trudges after
them with a complete set Of oper'
ating tools.
But I always say, when at the
golf club, do as the golfers do. so
I give this bag to this little boy
and order him to lead on, Nc
Duff. Fortunately, as it turns
out, he does not know the Miami
Biltmore course any better than
I do, which is not at all. So
what do you think happens?
Well, to make a long story
short, instead of going to the
first tee, we go to the nineteenth
hole, and sitting there through
the rest Of the morning shoot
one Of the sweetest games OF golf
our charming Nan O'ReiIly ever
housed her typewriter on. My
butting left them all aghast ano
6gog.
Kirkwood Drops In
The first thing that happens is
That Mr.. Kirkwood, Of Australia
and other well-known points,
drops in. Mr.. Kirkwood is the
world-famous trick shot artist Of
whom you have no doubt heard.
Now I do not know Mr.. Kirkwood
and to be wholly honest, have
never seen him before in all my
born days.
But I figure that we golfers are
Just one great big unhappy family
and I say to him:
"Joe, loan me your gold wrist
watch and brasSie and I'll show
you a neat little trick that
picked up on my travels around
the baseball camps"
Somehow, however, Joe does
not seem to have any great con-
fidence in my ability to lash out
q 28O-yard hole in one off the
face of his time piece, and so we
fall to telling of this and that, and
chiefly of the Bobby Jones tourna-
ment up Augusta, Ca, way the
latter part Of this month.
Joe thinks Sir Robert is a pretty
good thing to win this tournament
because he has been practicing
assiduously since November and
knows the course like a mother
knows her baby. Joe says:
Greatest of All
"He is the greatest golfer that
ever picked up a club and he's
fresh and full of ambition again.

with reasonable breaks, he
shouldn't win, if I were going to
bet I'd bet on him and a man
has no stronger opinion about
anything than his own money"

Conducted by the

tumor it is. We call tell you, how
ever, what we would do under the
circumstances. We would go to a
hospital clinic in Akron, where you
know there is a teaching school
medical school. Here you will
find a physician who will examine
your breast carefully. He will de-
termine whether your swelling"
moves freely about under his finger
or whether it is anchored either to
the skin above or to the muscle be-
meath. He will find out whether
you have other smaller swellings
near the one you describe; either
in the same breast or in the oppo-
site breast. He will look and feel
under your arm, in your arm pit
for small sWellingS.
All these points help him to say
how harmless or harmful the swell
ing is. In order to be more GER
tain, he will probably take a small
piece Of the tissue from your breast
and look at it under the miscro-
scope. This is called a biopsy. This
examination is very helpful to him.
He will then know what to do and
how to do it. Harmful tumors in
the male breast are rare. Harmless
hard cySts or Sacs are much more
common.
