TODAYS-
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

under fire is that his wife has
enough jitters during one of his
matches to take care of both of
them.
Those who have seen Mrs. Shute
and incidentally, she is one of the
very few professionals wives who
follow their husbands matches =
know that he is telling the truth,
only a bit conservatively. Mrs.
Shute has enough jitters for four
people. When Herman DenSmore
lines up a putt she trembles like a
leaf. flutters after the manner of
an agitated dove, and, in short,
goes to pieces altogether.
Shute, one of the shortest hitters
in the game, said he was not one
bit worried by the fact that his
final round opponent, Jimmy Thom-
son, outdrove him by fifty, sixty,
and seventy yards.
II figured" Shute said, that
when 1 stuck my second on the
green he would be sorry he always
made me play the odd and had to
look at that white ball SO close to
the cup. I also consoled myself
with the knowledge that while golf
has been played many years, they
have yet to pay off on the first
shot"
Oddly enough, it was his driver
that Shute gave the major credit
for his victory. A new one-he
only purchased it three days before
the tournament started-it seldom
led his ball into the rough or traps
Those who saw the final round
match yesterday all agreed Shutes
finest shot was a brassie on the
34th which, travelling low in the
wind, carried 230 yards to roll dead
to the pin for an eagle three. This
was the shot which brought the
match to a close.
Shute doesn't think this was his
best shot, however. He said it was
very fine shot, and one that made
him very, very happy, but that the
shot in which he took the most
pride was cleek he hit on the
18th hole of the morning round.

YUMANINE
BOWS TO
BOT Tier

Jack Stark's Coca Cola baseball
team Sunday Afternoon unleashed a
powerful hitting attack to smother
a strong Yuma baseball team 9-5
in a tilt played on the Brawley dia-
mond.
The Yuma team lit on the offer
ings of Jimmie James in the second
and third innings to take 20 lead
but the Coca Colans, paced by Bob
Elliott who banked out two triples,
rallied in the fourth and fifth can
tos to stretch their run total to six
The issue was never in doubt
after the fifth stanza for the Coca
Cola sluggers added run in each
of the remaining innings
Ridge pitched the brilliant ball
for the losers, whiting 10 and al
lowing only eight hits but the pow
erhouse hitting of Elliott and Miller
proved too much for the Yuma hurl-
er.
James was also touched fer eight
hits but three of the blows came in
the last inning when the game was
ON ice. Devine hit homer with a
man on in this inning.
The Bottlers are scheduled to
meet Calipatria next Sunday. The
Coca Colas dropped 10 decision
to the Brewers in their first meeting
but will be loaded for their tilt
Sunday and should pull out a win.

| HIGH SCHOOL
GRID TEAMS IN
FINAL PREPS

High school football players in
four valley towns today began
training grinds for the final games
of the season on Thanksgiving day
which viii pit a fast, powerful Cal
exico eleven against El Centros
Spartans and match the Holtville
vikings against Brawley.
Most interest was centered on the
Calexico-El Centro tilt which will
be played on the Border City grid
iron and which will decide the
championship of the valley confer
ence.
Calexico, after its brilliant TO
victory over a fired-up Brawley
grid machine last week. is favored
to take the measure of the Spartans
and chalk up its second successive
grid championship.
Coach w S. Taylor of Central
high, however, reported the Calex-
leo team would find q mighty tough
band of Spartans in the path of
their title hopes and assured valley
football fans IL the El Centre high
schoolers play the brand OF ball OF
which they are capable, the Herb
Norris football trophy viii again
be safely tucked away in the Gen.
trail trophy case.
If the Spartans lapse into the
same listless play that they dem
onstrated in the latter part of the
Brawley game, however. the Bull
dogs will push them all over the
field
The Calexico team went through
the first practice of the week in a
manner that spelled trouble for the
Central high schoolers but up at
the Ell Centre stadium" the Gen.
trail gridders snapped through new
plays and drilled on passing offense
and defense
Brawley and Holtville high school
team will tangle the Viking "am-
phitheatre" in a game that will
have no bearing on the final stand
ings, but the Holtville gridders
planned the most strenuous work
outs of the year to get in shape to
push over their first win of the
season.

PINEHURST, N. c., Nov. %. W.H
The name is Hermon Densmore
Shute. gentlemen, and he. is the
un-tough guy who yesterday won
the toughest golf championship in
the world, that of the Professional
Golfers association.
Denny, aged 80, and with hair SO
thin he has had offers to pose for
the before" ads of hair tonic manu-
facturers, weighed l48 pounds when,
along with 113 others, he started
the tournament last Monday.
An hour after winning he weigh
ed 1876, including the drink of Scotch
and Soda he held in his badly bis
tered right hand. He lost three
pounds less than when he won the
British open championship in 1888.
Speaking of pounds (but of the
English monetary variety and not
fleshly ones) Hermon Densmore
Shute always makes less money in
the year he wins titles than in the
ones when cups are scarce. He
made only $2,500 in 1888 when he
won the British open, supposedly
the second best title of them all,
against $1,000 in 1880 when he was
without a major victory.
His only sport outside of golf is
basketball. He was forward in
school and could sink em almost as
well as he now sings puts.
He is known as the human icicle''
because nothing ruffles him, two
up and tWo-down, it's all the same
to him. He shows no emotion
when he lays one dead, and less
when he missed by mile and
catches a trap.

Hobart Herrick, who held a two
point edge at the start Of the races,
experienced hard luck all OF the
way. In the first main event he
was forced out on the 18th lap with
smashed radiator.
Leaping into his brothers car for
the second main event, HOBART

advantage was safe for he flnlShed
in second spot.
Young started in second place in
the opening main event and stay

sard. who earned the pole position
by setting a track record in the
qualifying run and a track record
in the first elimination race.
Busard's car could not stand the
pace in the main event, however,
and Young slipped into the lead on
the 18Th lap.
Fred Salmen copied first place
in the second main but Young was
close behind when the two cars
zoomed across the finish line.
Wreck clamoring fans got the big
gest thrill Of the season in the sec

tangled on the first turn OF the race.
In an attempt to go around Salmen,
Swarthout ran over Fred's front
