ing from the son Of a member OF
President Roosevelt's cabinet, but it's
the honest conviction Of James George
Dern. whose father is the Secretary
of War. Jimmy-a tall. likeable
blond-crashed the Capitals sports
pages over the week end when he
entered the Embassy tennis doubles
tournament as the partner Of Leon
ard l.. Nicholson, Sd, a bank clerk
at Riggs National. and it was at the
Embassy courts yesterday that what
little information could be cleaned
from the young man himself was
forthcoming.
Jimmy's not the average mans con-
ception of a politician. He has none
of that fluency of corHersation which
usually pours from the lips of men
in public life. Indeed, he won't talk
about himself at all.
Rather, here is a future admins
traitor, the able executive, from whom
orders are dictated with al-knowing
discernment. And already Jimmy's
had his first taste of administrative
duties. for he's left record in the
admissions Office at George Wash
ington University since coming here
from Dartmouth as one of the most
efficient and ambitious young men
ever to give information to a flustered
freshman.
Jimmy's done everything in that
office from directing strangers about
the campus to looking up Phi. D. re-
quirements. and he's done them all
well. according to university officials.
But to get back to his athletic
activities. Tennis seems to be the only
sport to which he's devoted any ap-
preciable amount of time and his
main bid to fame since he started
playing on the Dartmouth freshman
team three years ago was accom-
plished this Spring in the badminton
tournament at G. w.. from which he
emerged as member of the winning
doubles team.

STRAIGHT OFF TME TEE
BY w. R. ms CAlLuM

"HE high sheriff of the Senate,
otherwise Chesley w. Jurney,
sergeant at arms, is getting his
goifng education in large and
liberal doses this Summer. With his
second birdie of his career behind him,
the jovial Texan has gone in for gam
bling on golf matches, the sure sign
Of advancement in skill and conf
dence in that advancement.
He is going to Italy shortly after
Congress adjourns, and according to
Harry ]. Gerrity, with whom Jurney
frequently plays, he is trying to
finance his golfing trip by contribu-
tons from Certify. Further inquiry
reveals that the High Sheriff has piled
up no less than $3.50 toward his trav-
cling expenses, all from Gerrity's
pockets, at the rate of so cents Nassau
Big Boy" Evans, the 275-pound
colored boy who totes Jurney's clubs
, and plays his shots when the Senate
official gets in serious trouble, says the
strain Of gambling on golf is telling
on the Sheriff, because, he says, Mr..
Jurney mad to shoot los to beat Mr..
Gerrity the other day, it was SO close. {"
