Bob didn't do anything much in the
opening tourney Of the mid Atlantic
pros yesterday but play that lengthy
Indian Spring layout in SO whacks,
which happens to be under par,
and rather respectable score. He
topped the next man-Johnny Bass
of Clifton Park, Baltimore-by two
shots, and with portly Russ Holle-
baugh, the well-known golf goods ped
dler, grabbed first prize in the anna
teur-pro affair. Between 'em they
had better ball of 66, and since
Russ sported handicap Of only two
strokes, you can see he committed
quite little golf on his own hook;
OF was it slice?
Anyhow, Barnett was the
main guy in the jamboree.
He's a mighty man with golf clubs,
this little fellow who came to Chevy
Chase back in 1922 and who today
holds two Of the better pro jobs of

striped trousers and brown jacket.
The room was overf1owing with gear,
including four enormous trunks con-

There were dozens of pairs of

THE Western High team, captained

Billy Shea in the No. l spot, won the
Dawes Cup three years in a row.
Western has been shot to

not be successful in making it
four in row.

just to prove he's sincere in his efforts
to land the ladies man, he's invited
newspaper men to listen in. Goldie,
however, must revise his list Of ques-

Perhaps it might be an excellent
scheme to forget Baer altogether and
concentrate on an outstanding match

to put it mildly. Besides. what proof
is there to offset the full-grown sus-
picion that Baer is washed up?
Along the local fistic front there is

his roslest ring days. Mcdonald never

RARE GOLF WORTH
IN NDUNKELBERGER
North South Champion, II,
Rated Close to Being
Best of Amateurs.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

MATEUR golf in America,
n which has been in tailspin
~ for quite few years, Is in for
4 A a little trouble from a South
ern kid who looks a budding Bobby
Jones. And the lads name is Bobby,
too
To hear rotund Robert Harlow tell
It, Bobby Dunkelberger, the 17-year-
old Greensboro, N. c., lad who re-
Gently won the North and South
championship at Pinehurst, comes
close to being the best amateur shot
maker in the land. He probably is
the finest golfer of his age in Amer
!cs," says Bob.
The Dunkelberger boy hits the ball
q very long way with a lengthy swing
and 100 pounds of muscular strength
behind it. He has improved greatly
since he whipped Francis Ouimet at
Pinehurst a year ago, and if he keeps
on improving he can put some pep
into the amateur game.
Rival Here for Dunkclberger.
IT'S BADLY needed, for there hasn't
been a lot of good golf shot among
the amateurs since Bob Jones and
George Won Elm gave up their rivalry
six and half years ago. Maybe Dun
kelberger has what it takes.
But when Harlow cracks that the
Greensboro kid probably is the finest
golfer of his age in America, we rise
mp and remind him that we have
precocious youngster around Wash
ington named Bobby Brownell who
can commit quite little golf on his
own hook. 1t seems that golf does run
to Bobbys. The Dunkelberger lad has
had more of an opportunity than
Brownell to get around, but that
doesn't mean he's tops among the II
and l8 year old kids. Dunkelberger
hasn't done anything in the amateur
championship, nor has Brownell. And
neither has been such a good golfer
As John Goodman, who was good
enough to win the open championship
four years ago.

GONE very queer incidents have been caused
- by the severe discipline of military life and
in the ordinary course of a civilians life.
A sentinel named Hatfield who was on duty
guarding royalty during troublous times in Eng
land was charged with falling asleep. A court
martial tried him and sentenced him to DEATH
Hatfield wasn't guilty He hadn't been asleep
The trouble was that he had no witnesses to
prove it, but stood his ground in court and made
a very startling statement which saved his life
II tell you" he said, that midnight of the
night when I was said to have been asleep, I
heard the bell of Big Ben in the distance"
The court demanded proof. Hatfield agreed to
give it.
THAT night" he went on instead of striking
twelve times it usually does it struck thir
teen times"
Big Ben located in tower of the Houses of
Parliament is traditional symbol of British
accuracy and reliability. To an Englishman such
a charge was the statement of guilty man
desperately trying any ruse to avoid punish
ment. Hatfield was returned to confinement and
as matter of form, before his execution, the
officials in charge of the big clock were inter
viewed. They admitted that on the night in ques-
ton Big Ben had made the rare mistake of
striking thirteen times at midnight
Hatfield lived to be 102.
Authorities in this country sometimes make
errors, too. On occasion California was cap
tured by mistake! =
In the early 1840s both England and the Uni
ted States knew that Mexico had only a nominal
control over California. Naval officers of both
countries were instructed to be the alert. If
legitimate reason would be shown u. S. naval
authorities were to seize California. The navy
of the United States were particularly
anxious because the west coast claims of the
small American nation were vague at best; the
English had done a good deal of exploring and
claiming in the north, and by extending their
power southwark they might shut off the United
States from the entire Pacific Coast.
Commodore T. A. c. Jones of the American
Navy cruising around in the Pacific in 1912
when word came to him that the United States
had declared Mexico 1t wasn't true, but
he didn't know that. He landed his marines at
Monterey, which was then California's capital
The Mexicans, outnumbered, figured that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and made
little resistance and soon the American flag was
flying over the old adobe customs house.
Then Commodore Jones secuted around among
the official documents and discovered to his
chagrn that the two nations were at peace. He
apologized to the Mexican authorities, called

Hearing Clock Strike 13 SAVED His Life!

being used The knife blade was probably part
of the shrapnel burst, going into his skull hot
from the explosion and cauterizing the wound
it made
His head was examined carefully and very
fine scar, almost invisible, was discovered.
Yes. the after results of war are peculiar.
Take the case of Mrs. Mary Jones. She lives in
Newhall Leicestershire, in England. She kept
an old 16- pound shell-wth the powder and
printing removed-in the house as war relic
Mrs Jones is an old lady of 73, and the cold
weather affects her more than 1t used to. She
thought of buying something like hot water
bottle for a bed warmer but her eye lighted
on the sixteen pound shell. Just the thing! She
put it on the stove and heated it mildly-it
made very good bed warmeri Then, as she
was i'll the next day, she asked friendly neigh
Dor to heat the shell for her. The neighbor put
in in the oven. This shell-with no powder and
no printing in it-exploded and blew the oven
door clear across the room
The air inside the shell had expanded and
blown off the cap.
THE idea of gun shooting around corner
always seems comic. Guns can't quite do
that but they don't shoot straight, either They
put about the same amount of curve on shell
that a good big league pitches puts on baseball.
French "75', for instance, shooting at
range of 4 y miles will throw curve that makes
the shell land 24O yards to the right of where it
is aimed. The amount of curve is about 1873 of
the range.
A good big league pitcher like Van Lingle
Mungo or Wesley Ferrell can make fast curve
break about foot and half on its way to the
plate. They throw a roundhouse that would
break more; easily foot and ten inches. In that
case the amount of curve would be about 1/33
of the distance from the pitchers box to home
plate And speed? The French "75" is only about
ten times as fast these pitchers. No wonder
catchers have their hands all banged up!
One queer and difficult feature about aiming
a long range gun is that the rotation of the
earth must be taken into consideration. This
is because all parts of the surface of the earth
do not move at the same speed. For instance,
spot very close to the north pole, like spot
near the center of a phonograph record, moves
slowly. A spot on the equator travels at rate
of about thousand miles hour Shooting
from the north pole towards a spot on the
equator would be like shooting at flying duck
you'd have to aim ahead of it to score hit.
The difficulty of hitting target at long range
is shown by the record of Big Bertha. This gun
had range of 76 miles. Shooting at the city of
Paris which is an enormous target, it had an
area of two by two-and-a half miles in which
shell was likely to do serious damage. This
area was hit 1873 times; it was missed 120 times.
When you miss target two by two-and-a-half
miles in size, in spite of the most careful and
elaborate calculations, you kno'o that it's hard
to shoot straight at such distance.

his marines together, removed the American
flag, and set sail. The Mexican Government de-
manded that Jones be court martialed The
Navy Department knew that he had only at
tempted to follow orders so Jones was never
punished and the credit for capturing California
went to Commodore Sloat, who landed in Mon
terey on July 7, 1846 The Mexicans must have
thought it pretty well rehearsed show
when the marines again landed and ran up the
American flag!
e TRANCE things can happen when many
y armed men are under the command of one
person. That person need not be an experienced
general-hstory shows many cases where the
leader almost a child. Test your memory:
who the only person holding command over
the military forces of large nation at the age
of IT?
1t not Alexander the Great In fact, this
commanding general was woman and her
birthday is still celebrated every year although
she lived more than five centuries ago.
Joan of Arc was the woman. Interest in her
still runs SO high that she was made
saint in 1919
Joan capitalized on very fine bit of psychol-
ogy which was again used by Napoleon hun
dreds of years later She arrived on the
at time when French professional army, not
very much interested in what going on,
backing away from the British. She gave them
a noble, romantic ideal to follow Hers was not
a of rich noble paying men to fight so
that his back yard would be enlarged. She
offered them a chance to fight for France-to
follow commands from Heaven ITSELF given to
her in visions. 1t drew men to the French ban
ners and made them fight like tigers.
Napoleon, again appealing to the common
man, calling his soldiers my children urged
them to fight for liberty and equality and to
set free the poor, downtrodden people of other
lands. His felt that they really had some
thing to fight for That the poor, downtrodden
people thus liberated saddled with
governments and new taxes was not mentioned
in the battle orations because it would have
spoiled the romantic effect of the appeal.
The effects of war last long time, sometimes
appearing years later where least expected.
