bay, it calls for the registration of

start for that seemingly imposSi-

193-yard eleventh he was four on
the 455-yard tenth. On the 193-
yard eleventh he was trapped but
put his niblick shot within a yard
Of the pin and got his three.
Trapped again on the twelfth,
Gene was on in three and down
in two puts for a par five. On
the short thirteenth, a 179-yarder,
Genes niblick pulled him from a
trap to three feet from the pin
and a three.
On the 511-yard fourteenth hole,
Sarazen landed in the rough, but
a spoon shot and accurate pitch
found him within two yards of
the pin. He missed the putt, how.
ever, for a par five.
Gene got par four on the 443-
yard fifteenth. On the sixteenth
he TRAPPED his drive and then his
recovery went into the rough, but

Earlier in the week Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Fabyan was defeated, also

The Perry-Van Ryn match was
played today owing to a change of
schedule. Previously Donal d
Bulge, young California star, and
J. LeSeuer of France, had been ex.
pected to figure in the only sched-
uled match today involving a star
American contender.
Wilmer Allison of the United
States, in three bitterly fought
straight sets, eliminated j. Van
Den Eynde of Belgium, 8-6,
IS, IS.
Merely Practicing
In the PERUVIAN Ryn match,
the EngliSnman'S mastery was so
marked he appeared to be merely
practicing. The American took
the first three games Of the first
set and then petered out while
the defending champion went to
work.
Perry at first seemed a little
perpleXed by Van Ryn'S opening
tactics in lobbing, which he did
successfully for a time until the
Briton solved this strategy with
smas hing, hair-raising kills.
Toward the end of the match
Perry appeared in complete con-
troll of the course and all Van
Ryn's efforts seemed futile.
Allison defeated his hard-fight-
ing Belgian opponent after COM
ing from behind. He trailed SIS
in the first set, and was forced to
put up a hard fight to win.
Throughout the match, Allison's
game was blend of erratic errors
and flashes of his old brilliance.
Grant Beats AvOry
The scheduled change also af-
fected Bryan M. "BitSy" Grant,
the Atlanta, Ga, mite. Grant did
a workable job in beating E. R.
Avory, of Britain, Ga, 60, Ga.
In the women's singles, Dorothy
Round, British star, easily beat
Fraulein R. Kraus, 81. 6-3.
Helen Jacobs, of California,
leader of the American feminine
contingent, had her expected easy
time with Mile. Goldschmidt, de-
feating the French player 6-1,

laurels by defeating E. Itoh, OF

to make up in tomorrow's 49,
hole round, after which the first
so players will be weeded out
for SO final holes Saturday.
Between SaraZen and Cox were
James Adams, with a II, and r.
A. Whitcombe, Jack Mclean and
w. H. Davies, all British, with TBS.
Early Rounds Good
Earlier Sarazen, on the first
hole, 435 yards long, was short
with his second shot after a we'll
placed drive, but he rolled up stiff
and putted out for par four. On
the second the American hooked
his drive and put his second shot
in a trap. He then placed an ex-
plosion shot on the green, but it
rolled four yards past the pin.
Here he put his magic putter to
work, and got four.
Sarazen'S two wood shots were
80 yards short on the 480-yard
third hole, his run-up was close
and he sank a two-yard putt for a
birdie four.
Genes tee shot on the 158-
yard fourth was five yards from
the pin. The first putt Tipped
the cup, and the crowd laughed
as Sarazen danced a fandango
in good-natured disgust. On the
fifth, a 424-yarder, Genes second
shot was only five yards from
the pin.
Sarazen hooked into the rough
at the sixth, and the second
shot over-ran the green. Gene
then played a niblick dead to
the pin and got a par four. On
the 200-yard seventh Gene missed
a three-yard putt for par three.
On the 527-yard eighth hole
Gene was 40 yards short after
two wood shots, and he Clipped
to within two yards of the pin
and putted for a birdie four.
On the ninth the American
sliced his drive into a sand
trap, extricated it with his second
shot, and put his third eight
yards from the pin. He just
failed to hole out for a par
four, taking a five.
Sarazen missed a 15-yard putt
for an eagle and took birdie four

Pointing out that farmers usually
Fr 1des themselves on sceSng thrifty
buyers, Mr.. Mann said: "Why do not
know of farmer who would buy a
piece of farm machinery-not even a
pocket knife-without first examining
1t carefully and comparing it with
others to see for sure that it is worth
the price asked for it,
And yet many +of these same far
mers have been dumping their cot
ton out to the first man they see at
the gin or the first cotton buyer they
meet on the street for just what he
offers, knowing not what it is worth
and nothing about it's grade and
staple or the premium it should COM
mand.
If only these farmers would real
lie that it is just as important for
them to get the high dollar for what
they have to sell as it is to get the
most for the dollar they spend, this
deplorable practice would soon be cor
rected."

WARNS FARMERS ON
SELLING OF COTTON
Should not Be Sold at Gin, Says w. G..
Mann, General Manager of
Cotton CO-Ops

Raleih, Sept. 29.-The unbusiness-
like practice of selling cotton at the
gin on the day of ginning is costing
North Carolina farmers thousands of
dollars year, according to NJ G..
Mann, general manager of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association.
Mr.. Mann quoted figures from the
State Experiment Station showing
that approximately one-half of the
cotton growing in North Carolina is
sold in this manner.
Mr. Mann made it plain that he was
not attacking the ginners. "They are
business men and render a valuable
service through proper ginning. Many
of them do not want to buy cotton
but are forced to do so by farmers"
He warned farmers of the folly Of
spending months of hard work in rails
ing their crop and then dumping it
out to the first man who makes them
a price, mo farmer should sell his
cotton until it has been graded and
stapled under the supervision of a
government-licensed classer, for that

SCHOOL BUS COSTS
TOPIC OF MEETING
District Gathering at Shelby
Draws Superintendent
and Mechanics
By Staff Correspondent.

Shelby, Sept 29.-School superin-
tendents from so western counties, ac-
companied by most of the chairmen
of the county boards of education
and by many of their school bus me-
chanics, are meeting here today with
Lloyd Griffin, executive secretary of
the State School Commission and his
aides, to discuss school transportation
costs and to exchange ideas on trans
portation and school bus maintenance
problems.
The all-day meeting opened at II
o'clock this morning in the new
Cleveland county school bus garage,
recently constructed here with the
assistance of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration. This meeting was pri-
marily for county school bus me-
chanics, and talks were made dealing
with the best ways to save money in
maintaining school buses, also on bet
ter housing of buses when they are
not in USE It is expected that a num-
Der of other counties will soon build
county garages similar to the one
here
The entire delegation of superinten-
dents, school board chairmen and
mechanics were entertained at a
luncheon at noon at which Governor
nominate Clyde r. Hoey, who lives
here in Shelby, was the principal
speaker. Other talks were made by
Griffin and others of his staff, deal
ing with ways and means for secur-
ing more economical operation of the
school buses.
s"ThiS is the second Meeting of this
sort we have held in the State this
fall and we are confident that the
cost of maintaining our school trans
portation. system is going to be re-
duced, thousands of dollars as result
of these conference meetings." Crit
fin said: "It also brings the super
intendents together so they can ex-
change ideas and become better ac-
quaintedi and better neighbors. These
meetings are doing a lot of good"

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS


Sept. 20, 1000 A. D.-Leif Ericsson
is believed to have landed on the
shores of North America and pro-
ceeded to explore the coast from
Nova Scotia to Martha's Vineyard,
which is described accurately in Scan
dinavian manuscripts antedating Co
lumbus. Scandinavian records indi-
cate he came over to investigate sto-
ries of a strange new land sighted
by the Norseman Bjarni Herjulf-
son when he was blown off his course
to Iceland in 986.
In boats less than 80 feet long, with
high carved prov and stern, a square
rugged sail of brightly colored wool
and 20 to 80 sets of oars, and steering
by sun, moon stars and wind, the
Norsemen dared unknown seas and
incredible distances. The boats were
speedier than is usually realized and
were not so long in making the trip
across the Atlantic as Columbus
Craft. They regularly sailed from
Norway to Iseland in three days, and
from Denmark to England in four.
Besides Ericsson, the discovery of
America prior to Columbus voyages
is claimed for 10 different persons
Chinese, Arabian, Venetian, Welsh,
Portuguese, Dutch, Basque, Icelandic
Dane and Irish.
