YANK PROS PRAISE
TH0MS0N'S GAME
British Champion Regarded
Clever Links Performer
With All Clubs.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ ONE Of our professional golfers
who saw the man perform in
Great Britain pass along the
word that Hector Thomson
might very well win the United States
national amateur championship at
Garden City. 1t seems that Great
Britain always has one or two anna
teurs considered threat to our cham
pionship, but none Of them displayed
the technique necessary to carry the
title across the ocean. But my in
formants tell me it is different with
Hector Thomson
The son of a Scottish professional,
Hector is the amateur champion of
Great Britain and a skillful per-
former with every club in the bag.
Our professionals like the young mans
style from tee to cup and rate him
as one of the best amateurs the Brit
ish have produced since the World
War. If Hector is as good as the pro-
fessionals claim he may win at Gar
den City, for it will be a wild scramble
there for the title vacated by Lawson
Little.

Fred Proves His Theory.

DERRY proved his point by out
lasting the lanky 22-year-old Pa
ciflc Coast star in grueling f1ve-set
final Saturday when he captured the
crown and became the first invader to
win the title three times. Alice Mar
phasized it, Gaping her come back
after two-year enforced retirement
by dethroning four time champion
Helen Hull Jacobs in three sizzling
sets.
The competitive spirit was there,
but Budge's physical reserve had been
exhausted when he had two golden op-
portunities in the f1ercely-fought fifth
set to win the title. Twice the Cali
fornia youngster was within two
points Of victory, first in the tenth
game and again in the sixteenth, with
the score at deuce each time.
Midway through the final set I
saw Bulge was falling" said the
perspicacious Perry. so just bided
my time. A youngster his age should
have been able to hang on longer than
he did
But that's not intended as criticism.
As I've said before, Bulge has plenty
of time. But he could speed up his
conquest Of the title, which now looks
a year or two away, by putting his
racquet aside for several months. 1t
won't hurt him or anybody. for that
matter. He'll be the worlds greatest
player some day if he continues to
show improvement"

Fischer Looks Dangerous.

GEORGE DUNLAP played himself
~ back into fine form for the
Walker Cup matches, and you may ex-
pect him to be tough at Garden City.
A mental wager on Johnny Fischer
Of Cincinnati might pay a long price.
The slender Ohioan is playing we'll
again after an of season and has
plenty of shots.
But why go on? There will be 200
starters in the championship field,
and with 18 holes, the distance until
the final round, anything can happen
and likely will. Little's retirement left
the field wide open, and with the
shadow of the broad-shouldered Cali
fornian no longer a mental hazard.
the amateurs will put up a wide
struggle for the championship. Accu-
racy and keen putting touch will be
needed to win at Garden City. which
was the home course of Walter Travis,
and the fellow who can putt best
through the six days Of competition
will be the winner.

n YEW YORK, September IA
nj Out of the welter of the fifty
fifth United States singles ten
mis- championships there was
unmistakable proof today Of Fred
Perrys words Of wisdom-a lay-od
never hurt anybody.
During the early rounds of the tour
nament the black-haired, bounding
Briton watched Donald Dudge, Amer
icas leading exponent of the sport,
struggling against an inferior op-
ponent.
"Don's over-tennised," observed
Perry. Hes been playing steadily for
over a year. He ought to call it quits
for six months. I was forced into a
half-years rest last year and 1t was a
welcome respite after years of con-
slant campaigning. I'm stronger for
it."

Goodman Strong Challenger.

Goodman Strong Challenger.
OFF hand one must rate Johnny
Goodman as the outstanding
challenger for the championship. The
little man has become a fine match
player over the last three seasons, and
Garden City is the sort of course that
suits his accurate game. Goodman,
Of course, may go down and out in the
first round, but of all the challengers
he is my No. l candidate.
After Goodman you can think of at
least 20 capable of winning. Walter
Emery. the Oklahoman, who went to
the finals last year, is a determined
sort Of fellow, and if he hits the ball
as well over Garden City as he did at
Cleveland, it will take a lot of golf to
beat him. Charlie Yates, the slim
Georgian, is another who is about due
to pick of the championship, and
those representatives of Louisiana
State University, Haas and Leslie,
must be rated among the very best.
Not many amateurs can play the
game better than Scotty Campbell Of
Seattle. Scotty never has had much
luck in the national amateur, but he
is the favorite of many this year.

Miss Marble q Big Surprise.

RUDGE exhibited his potentialities
all through the championship
match with Perry. At times he made
the acknowledged worlds outstanding
simon-pure look almost mediocre.
Perry's form was in and out. but he
lived up to his reputation as a great
player when his number is up.
Miss Marble sprang what probably
will go down in history as one Of the
games greatest surprises. There was
nothing in her early play to indicate
she had regained the touch which
made her the country's No. player
three years ago, before she became i'll.
The experts took her on face value
and conceded her hardly more than
an outside chance against Queen
Helen. However. they quickly admit
ted their mistake, as she had Miss
Jacobs playing into her hand with
masterful exhibition of deep driving
and trap and drop shots.

GIVE RATES OF SOIL
CONSERVING

The average rate of the soiI-con-
serving payment in Rowan county
under the 1886 farm program has
been fixed at So per acre, accord
ing to Dean l. o. Schaub, of State
College.
This rate applies to general soil
depicting crops other than cotton
tobacco, and peanuts, the dean said
and will vary with individual farms
The general rate for each county
has been determined according tc
the average productivity of general
soil-depleting crops in the county.
The rate for an individual farm
will be above or below the county
rate in the same proportion that the
productivity of general soil-de-
pleting crops ON the farm is above
or below the county average.
The general productivity IF each
farm will be based upon the aver
ave past yields of soil-dePleting
crops other than cotton, tobacco
and peanuts.
Fbr tobacco and cotton the rate
of payment have been fixed at five
cents a pound on the average toba-
eco and cotton yields of the farm
The rate for peanuts is l IA cent
a pound. ,
The soil-conserving payment vii
be made for shifting land fdom SOL
depicting into soil-conserving crop
this year.
A farmer who takes high produc
tive land out of cash crops and put
it into soil-conserving CROPS is max
ing a bigger sacrifice than the tar
mer whose land is low in Produc
tivity.
For this reason, the dean explain
ed, the rates of payment havin;;
been based on the productivity o
the land.

The courts decision described
Whitehead as "an individual who
had inherited a great fortune who
had never earned any money, ex-
cept for a short time when he was
in the Navy in the World War" 1t
added that he "led a life of leisure

found, he had spent six weeks each

Government Begins
Issuing Bonus Bonds
On June 10th
TO GET CASH, TURN BONDS
OVER TO P. O.; CFECK
WILL BE SENT

World War veterans will begin
getting their bonus bonds Tuesday,
June 16. 1t is expected that the
first weeks distribution will cover
about 50 per cent of all veterans
entitled to the bonus. After tina,
the bonds will keep coming along
as rapidly as the treasury and the
post-office department can get
them but of Washington.
Here is the procedure to be fol-
lowed:
A veteran will receive his bonds
BY registered mail. They will be
in $50 denominations, and odd
amounts will come with them in
the form of checks. For example,
if a man has 1925 coming tb him,
there will be 10 bonds and a check
for SIS.
The registered package will be
delivered only to the addressee in
person. If he is not known to the
postmaster of his town or to the
carrier lon his R. F. D. route, he
must be identified. If he wants to
urn his bonds into cash, he sur
renders them at the post-office
through which they came and gets
an interim receipt. If the post
office is not one of the 241 desig-
mated as a paying office, the bonds
are forwarded to the nearest n SO
designated, where checks will be
drawn and mailed to the veterans.
The bonds bear interest at the
rate OF 3 per cent a year, but no
interest is payable on any bonds
redeemed prior to June IS, 1857.
Through a radio broadcast Satur-
day, June Is, Postmaster General
Farley will give veterans all neces-
sarv information about the pay
ment of the bonds.
