Four Strokes Better Than Par
Beats Runyan in Play.0ff Of
Open Tourney.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLENS FALLS, N. Y, September
7 10.-Cutting four strokes OF par
with a fine 81, KY Laffoon of
Denver yesterday won the sixth an
nual Glens Falls open, beating Paul
Runyan of White Plains, N. Y, by
four strokes in an 18-hole play-off.
Laffoon breezed over the outward
stretch In 80, four under par, and
came home in regulation figures Of IS.
Runyan, with three bad holes to
offset otherwise steady golf, equaled
standard figures on both mines.
Laffoon's victory was his second
major triumph within = week, he
having won the Hershey, Pa, open
a week ago Saturday, and finally con-
quered the play-off jinx which has
cost him the biggest slice Of the
prize melon in several outstanding
tournaments the past Summer, nota-
bly, in the st. Paul and Western opens.
Laffoon and RunyAn, the latter
newly crowned national P. G. A.
champion, were forced into the play
off when the latter crashed through
with a pair of 68s in the final rounds
to tie the Colorado sensation. They
split the 1880 first and second prize
money.

Little Holding "Hot Hand"

T<HE hot thing around this staid
old club as the tournament gets
under way today is w. Lawson
Little, the California larruper. Law
son has been here for q week tuning
up his shots and in the four complete
rounds in which ne has holed out he
scored SO, 20, T3 and II, which works
out at an average below the par IL Of
this ancient golf course.
The layout hasn't been changed a
bit since the day Jess Sweetser won
the championship back in 1922. The
holes are the same, the greens are in
the same spots and it is just as tough
as ever with its narrow fairways and
its tightly trapped greens.
They have stuck in q new bunker
or two and have widened some of the
water hazards, but it is the same lay
out on which the amateur champion
ship has been played three times and
on which Ouimet first made golf hit
the front page with his 1918 open
championship victory over Vardon and
Ray.
And, by the way, the British threat
In this tournament doesn't exist any
more. Tony Torrance, probably the
best golfer in Britain, and Rex Hart
ley, the two English entrants, have
withdrawn and will not play.
George T. Dunlap, the defending
champion; Lawson Little, the British
champ, and Jess Sweetser, who tanned
Brookline IL years ago, all have drawn
first-round byes today and will not
play until tomorrow
Lawson plans to visit Washington
after this tournament, but just when
he will be in the Capital even he
doesn't know.

1.-TWO cases of atavism, possibly,
have recently come to my at
tention. Atavism Is a reversion
to ancient ancestral type and occurs
very rarely. Curiously enough both
these cases occurred in Irish settlers,
although none Of the dogs concerned
were at all related. In at least one
Of the matings, the dogs were under
constant supervision at all times, and
there was absolutely no chance for
mismating. In that case, there was
a litter Of eight, two Of the pups were
the rich, mahogany red of the parents
and six were coal black. In the other
case, there was one black puppy with
white breast and paws. White breast
and paws often appear on Irish setter
whelps, clearly a throw back. The
black, however, is an unusual phe-
nomenon.
