WAVE OF PARALYSIS
NEARING A PEAK

CHICAGO, Sept. 8. UP) = The
wave of infantile paralysis, strik-
ing across the United States from
California to Florida and north into
southern Canada, appeared to be
approaching peak today.
Dozens of new cases were report
ed hourly from districts where high
temperatures last week and the
week before were especially condu-
Give to spread of the deadly germ.
Physicians explained the disease has
an incubation period of 10 days to

iesehd, anu noW Is charged Win
having been an ordinary thug, is,
in the opinion of this correspondent
who has a professional knowledge
of the subject champion golfer.
The man of the flesh is no less a
man than the man of the legend.
l played golf with this Paul
Bunyan yesterday and since l have
never believed in fairy stories, I
thought l was going to see some
thing rather ordinary. A short
while before Montague or Moore,
as he was known here before he
disappeared suddenly seven years
ago, had pleaded not guilty on his
arraignment on charge of a road
house robbery.
Montague was reluctant to ex-
hiblt his game. There would be a
great crowd at our heels, he said.
Besides, he hadn't brought his clubs.
| argue'1 and he agreed to motor
to golf club miles away from
here, where we alternated with nv
clubs.
He played six holes-under two
handicaps. He hadn't played at
all III almost year, he said. And
he was using borrowed clubs. Par
for the six holes was 4-4-4-5-5-3.
But he was two under par, and
he played with a slight difference.
with little or no concentration, in
an off-handish manner.
AS to form, he doesn't seem to
have much. His stance is not con-
Ventlonal, he has no follow through.
But his power is phenomenal. A
short, chunky man who looks as
tnough he has a bay window, he
swings with effortless ease. And
his drives were all straight as a
string and 300 yards or a little
better. His approach shots were
SO perfect that he didn't have one
long putt. And it was his short
game that was most amazing. I
never saw chip shots played as he
played them. There was no follow
through. Just flick of the wrist.
And the result was deadly. Both
his brides were on chips that, de-
spite the poor fairway lie and the
spotty greens, stopped gimme" dis
tance from the pin.
= Provided he is not put into stor-
age for Several years when he is
tried next month on that seven
year-ol1 robbery charge, and other
golf writer's will be writing a great
deal about him in the various major
competitions. 1t was clear that

Real Casualty Barred

There was a real casualty during
the sham battle fought in the drill
hall at Fort Myer yesterday.
Before an audience that included
members Of the Diplomatic Corps,
Senators and Representatives and
many society people, Battery "C''
of the Sixteenth Field Artillery
came into the hall in battle forma-
ton, and went into action, showing
the part it took in the great Meuse-
Argonne drive during the World
War.
To simulate war, blank shells
were fired and an enemy" ma
chine gun returned the fire. Mem
bers Of the battery fell, wounded
and killed at their post.
Then into the hall came an
ambulance, an old veteran am
bulance made in 1918 which saw
real war service. The ambulance
picked up the victims and left
the hall.

Archie L. Milling of the Medical
Corps, the driver, collapsed at the

boom and steel shares were strong

Trading was active despite the
prolonged weekend holiday.
Spurred by the boost in the do

copperS provided the feature. Ana
