COdCn 6fdUJOIl 5 bldCk anu OO1Q
warriors 0Yerhauled the Manual
Redskins in the final quarter of
the skirmiSh there Saturday night
and took the game, % to 10. It's
no cinch TO topple Oral Bridge
ford's Redskins. They've lost
some heart-breakers by mighty
close scores this season-Pitts-
boro, Tech, Washington. Cohn,
holding dcwn the pivot post,
turned in a good game for the
South Siders, tbs reported.
THE victory over Manual gave
l. the Greenfielders a little
better than 500 per cent for the
season. Shcrtridge and Rushville
are among the Rileytown victims.
The team is small According to
the Greenfield Daily Reporter,
presumably Dale Spencer, the
boys average 5 feet 81 inches in
height and 139 pounds in scale
tipping.
Small, yes. But don't forget
folks, it takes four teams to make
a regional and Greenfield is a
good fourth.
TOR fear of being misinterpret-
Il ed, Blackboard hastens to eX.
plain that his statement yester-
day that the Shortridge Blue
Devils were not playing their best
brand of ball against Alexandria.
was not meant to indicate that
the Blue Devils played slouchy
ball. They played winning ball,
which usually is enough. Prob
ably they could have turned on
the steam mad it been necessary.
Bill Pack is an admirable work.
er, don't you think? He stands
barely above feet skyward, yet
he gave a valiant performance at
the pivot post that would put to
shame several centermen of more
advantageous stature.
These brother acts sometimes
get in my hair. Actually two %
people have congratulated my
brother, Vern. for picking JEFF of
Lafayette to win the state.
BLASTTNGS
Dear Backboard-You should
come down to see st. Paul tangle
with Manual the 23rd. In a
game with Batesville the Blasters
were handling the ball so fast
the referee was seasick. If you
come down to see this game you
will see one of the best teams in
the state, and it won't be Manual.
STUDE IS.
P. Sour record now is-won,
10; lost, 8.
Dear Backboard-H you have been
following st. PauIs Blasters you will
notice that they have added two county
champs to their victim iist-Waldron in
Shelby County (26-1S and Edinburg in

G. Cooper. Member of Congress from
Ohio, on the WheeIer.R0yburn bill:
"No doubt every Member Of the House has re-
ceived many letters opposing the passage of this
legislation will not deny that of it has been
inspired but believe truthfully say my
honor Member of this Congress that not 10
percent of the letters / have received, which run
into several thousand against this legislation, is
in form letters. Most of them have been written
by individuals, insurance companies business
houses, banks, and various kinds of industries.
have received letters from old people who have
written them in longhand and you could see that
they well up i'll years, for their hand tottered
when they wrote the letter.
"If these men and s0omen wh0 haze INFESTED
their life savings in utility as protection for
old age believe that the passage of this bill may
destroy the securities sohich they haze honestly
bought, they haze a perfect right to come to the
Congress and protest against the passage of
such a measure"

ut. ANNES- ON T1E-SEA, Eng
- land, May 23.-William Lawson
4 Little, jr, Of San Francisco,
who is favored to retain his
British amateur golf title, had estab-
lished himself today as a champion
who will take a chance.
He broke the heart Of his opponent
on the second hole and left British
golf critics aghast yesterday when
he turned in one Of the most spectacu-
lar shots in the history of this classic,
shot that had more in the way OF
cold daring than in percentage cal
culation.
J. Zacharias. q Lancashire County
giant, had rolled his ball to the lip
of the cup in 4. completely blocking
Little's ball, which was Is inches be-
hind, in 3.
The gallery expected Little to roll
his up close and to the side with
intent to halve the hole. After about
minutes of elaboration he called
for his niblick and Hoped the ball
over his opponents and into the cup.
The crowd, which obviously had
been with its now-bewildered country
man, gave a long and lusty cheer for
the American chance-taker. who went
on to take the match at the fifteenth
green, and 8.

ADAMS CHALLENGED
TO STARBOAT RACE.
Winner Of Interclass Sailing at
Navy Would Test Famous
Yachting Skipper.

A NNAPOLIs, Md, May 20 Np.-
n Former Secretary of the Navy
Charles Francis Adams, promi-
nent yachtsman, has been challenged
to a starboat race Saturday with the
midshipman winner of the interclass
sailing.
He will come here that day to ref
cree the Adams Cup race between the
crews Of Navy, Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania. President Roosevelt will ride
in the referees boat, as his son Is a
member of the Harvard crew.

Two Know the Course.

THE chances of the local boys at
Oakmont wouldn't seem so good
were it not for two factors which
have to do with the experience OF
Mackenzie over that testing layout
and with Houghton's Well-known and
proven ability to keep the ball straight
on any golf course Oakmont will be
an old story to both of these players,
but to Leo Walper it will be something
entirely new. The Bethesda driving
course pro, who has made great strides
in scoring over the past two years,
hasn't played Oakmont. Cliff Spen-
GERS experience over the Oaknont
course is meager.
But Roland knows the layout from
A to lizard, has played it scores OF
times and has nodding acquaintance
with every bunker on the course. Back
in 1925 he won the medal in the anna
teur championship with a 36hole
card of las. and he always has played
Oakmont to the kings taste. Hough-
ton played in the Pennsylvania open
championship there three years ago,
and has played the course so many
times that he knows most of the
tricks required to score on that tough
est of all American championship
tests.
Were the matches with the Japa-
nese scheduled for about May 80 the
boys would be happier, but as matters
now stand Houghton and Walper will
have only three days of practice at
Oakmont before the championship.
And to show how practice over the
course is regarded by the topnotchers,
Ray Mangrum of Los Angeles has
been there a month, while Jimmy
Thompson, the long hitter, has been
there for two weeks Oakmont takes
all the boys can produce, and most of
the better ones will be there all next
week.
