Tiny Pro Bows to Few in
Getting Distance With
Links Pellet.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

7 OTIS Of folks have marveled at
how little George Dif1enbaugh,
Indian Spring pro and lone
qualifier from Washington for
the P. G. A. championship, gets the
distance he obtains with a failing
driver. George stands something less
than feet inches and even though
ne has put on few pounds over the
last year or two he still doesn't come
anywhere near the poundage OF the
acknowledged big hitters OF golf. Yet
they don't outrange him from the tee.
How does he hit the ball so far?
The distance the Indian Spring
midget gets with the big clubs comes
from a big body pivot, and a fine pair
OF wrists, and that old prescription
for lengthy hitting-excellent wrist
action. George always has been a
long hitter, even in the days when he
was an assistant pro, and long before
he won the District open champion
ship, which he now holds.

In a way George is much like Paul
Runyan, who winds up like a base ball

golf ball. Paul gets away up on his
left toe, which isn't exactly orthodox.

Funeral a Bit Premature.

T SUSPECT there's tendency to
bury the English a bit too soon.
They're not dead yet, as was proved
IN their recent hard-courts champion
ships.
Bunny Austin won the singles in
what I'm told was one of the finest
displays of his entire career
Any one who beats Harold Lee and
allows him only four games in three
sets, as Austin did in the final, must
be playing great tennis.
Austin apparently feels his heavy
responsibility, now Fred Perry has
turned professional, and has respond
ed with an improved game-showing
intense application.
From men who know hear he's hit
ting hard, attacking more and coming
up to the net at all times
Even his serve has more power.
Austin needed very little improve
ment over his form of the last three
years, so it's possible he may be strong
enough to win two points for Great
Britain.

i
~ ARIS, France, May 27.-The
- Davis Cup is the all-absorbing
topic in European sports cir
4 cles, just as it is today back in
the States, where We are meeting Aus
tralia in a zone final, which, as
pointed out before, hinges entirely
upon Don Bulge. But what l hear
here makes me lot more optimistic.
Over here the impression is the
United States will not only defeat
the Australians but reach the chal-
lenge round against England!
Bulge rates highly here.
Why, they think so much of him
they say Bulge may single-handed
win the cup for us!
It's interesting to get the opinions
of Europeans, whose perspective is
different, but when they 90 so far as
to discount England, get wary.
Nearly everybody virtually is
counting them as beaten before the

English.

AWAIT OPINION
OF CUMMINGS
ON VALIDITY
President Will Decide
Course After Hearinq
Views of Aide

The Districts minimum wage
law will be discussed at the Cabinet
meeting at the White House late
today.
President Roosevelt made this
announcement today in answer to
a question whether he had received
from Attorney General Cummings
an opinion on the validity of the
old local minimum wage law for
women following the statement in
the Supreme Court opinion that
the court had reversed itself in
the matter of the case of Adkins
VS.. the Children's Hospital.
That brief statement reversed
the courts attitude in favor of the
conStitutionality of the minimum
wage law here, but did not settle
the question whether the law is
valid or whether it will have to be
reenacted.
The President understands that
whether or not the old law is now
in effect, that the Supreme Court
declares that the Washington
State minimum wage law is con-
stitutional, which opens the way
for similar State laws here and
else where.
Attorney General Cummings
may be able to give his opinion
on the matter at today's meeting
of the Cabinet. In the event that
he finds the law must be re.
enacted, it is understood to be
the Presidents intention to ask
Congress to pass a law setting
minimum wage standards for men
and women alike: and if it is
found to be effective without
further enactment. IL is believed
the President will ask to amend
it with a minimum standard Of
wages for men.

MARRIAGE BAN
REPEAL, HOPE
OF M'KELLAR
EARLY Action Sought
To Lift Restriction
On U.S.. Personnel

Hope was expressed today by
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan CD
Of Tennessee, that the Appropria-
ton Committee would shortly
make a favorable report on the
bill to repeal the marriage per
sons clause Of the economy.
Senator Mcclellan late yester-
day introduced the measure which
calls for repeal Of the last Of
the economy measures. This
clause, which prohibits the gov
eminent from hiring a man or
wife if the spouse is already en-
ployed by the government, has
been the subject of much con-
trOverSy for the last two years.
Charges Of Secrecy
Charges were made at hearings
before the House committee last
session that persons who married
while in the service hid the fact
and that in some instances en-
ployes were kept from marrying
by the strict Interpretation of the
act.
Senator Mcclellan said on intro
ducing the measure that he had
opposed enactment of the mar.
riage persons clause when it was
first proposed and that he has
always been opposed to it.
Two Bills Pending
Although there are two bills
pending in the House to correct
this inequality, neither has been
acted upon. One is similar to
Senator McKellar's measure. The
other favorably reported by the
Civil Service Committee provides
that the restrictions shall not be
enforced against a man and wife
whose aggregate salaries do not
exceed $4,000.
Senator Mcclellan is ranking
majority member on the Senate
Appropriation Committee and the
Senate Civil Service Committee.

State can fix minimum wages
out there and the legislature
now has the right to say q

/ guess the real significance,
though, was because the mem
bers Of the Supreme Court re-

they rated the female prerOga-
