Golfers
BY CHICK KENNY

Ho. hum, Washington leads the
way in another golf tournament,
and made it emphatic this time
by not only capturing the medal
honors, but Sneaked in in the late
stages of the afternoon play to
land the runnerup post.
All this stuff about Tho, hum"
concerns the relative rivalry be.
tween divoteerS of Washington
and Baltimore.
Although this intense rivalry is
more or less muted, nevertheless
it fills the air when washington
and Baltimore golfers cross clubs
in state and invitation affairs.
Yesterday it was the qualifying
test for six positions for the Ma
tional Amateur which will be
staged next month at Portland,
oregon, and which was run off at
the Baltimore Country Clubs out
door rink at Lutherville, Nd. a
DAVIS ride over the rolling tobacco
roads in the general vicinity OF
nowhere and north of Baltimore
by a cluster of parasangs Gas the
Greeks say it,.
AS for the six places on the line,
Washington and Baltimore earned
an even split. But even then, 1t
was Washington by pouchtul, as
we said before. our boys coppeo
first and second place.
YOder Cards $50
Levi Yoder, the Kenwood hot
shot. who plays his best game in
plus-two Knockers, carried off the
medal by swishing through with
a brilliant $50, and three strokes
behind came Martin F. Mccarthy,
of Beaver Dam, to sew up the place
position.
Don McPhail, of the Baltimore
Country Club, who led the troup
around the heavily-sunned layout
throughout the first 10 holes by
whacking out rs, pulled up third.
Don, q 24-year oldster, was Balti-
more's supreme hope for coping
the duke, pardon, medal. He had
tough shedding in the afternoon
play and closed with an 80 to total
for a 1855, and tie with j. c. Fulton,
also of the Baltimore Country Club,
who carded 78-77-155.
Three tied for 157, which neces-
STATED one to be dropped in a
playoff. They were Billy Shea, OF
Congressional; w. B. TomlinSon,
of Richmond, Va, and Henry A.
Parr, of the Baltimore Country
Club.
Shea Wins PlayOff
Shea, winner of the recent Mid
die Atlantic, clinched his position
on the first hole playoff by Scor-
ing a 4 against his opponents IS,
thus giving washington its third
and last place in the Select Six.
Parr then carried through for the
sixth post over TomlinSon, the
Virginian, by winning on the Sec
ond green 4 to 5.
AS for the remaining Washing
ton entries Ralph Quinter of Chevy
Chase, missed out of the coveted
circle for a chance in the playoff
by scoring a 1853. Ralph's after.
noon 80 Stayed him. Page Hufty,
another Chevy Chaser, posted a
1862, and Forrest Thompson OF
Beaver Dam, scored 167.
But in round figures, city to
city, Washington won the meet.
All that remains for the six quail
fiers to do, is place a mortgage
on the family homestead. in order
to drum up the necessary capital
for the championship games at
the Alderwood Country Club, Port
land, Ore.

a Cleaning and
Pressing Shop

The telephone of a cleaning
and pressing shop was located
on the wrapping counter. AL
though one line was adequate
for the store. the proprietor,
who spent considerable time
in his Office on a balcony in the
store, had to make many trips
downstairs to answer the tele-
phone. This was not only in
convenient to him, but it kept
customers waiting. For a small
charge-about 3 cents a day,
he was able to have an extern
sion telephone installed in his
office upstairs.

4 Printing Company

The Offices Of printing company were served
by two lines and five telephones with pickup
switches at three telephones. This telephone lay
out although practical for many businesses, was
not suitable for this firm as the manager wished
to be able to talk to people in the other Offices
and the plant without the aid Of an operator He
also wished the employees to be able to handle
both lines at the same time from certain tele-
phones to avoid unnecessary movement in the
Office when alone His problem was solved by
installing simple key arrangements and an ex-
tension in the plant Anyone in the Office may
now handle an incoming call on both lines
from his telephone and all telephones may COM
municate directly with each other. This new
arrangement provides more satisfactory and
efficient telephone service for the organization.

10 Low-Yield Bonds
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Nov. lO.-Rail and
utility liens helped hoist most of the
bond market into higher ground to-
day. Trading was at a fairly active
clip as the session neared the close,
with heaviest dealings in the carrier
group.
Traders apparently took some cheer
from evidences of the administrators
apparently more friendly attitude to-
ward business and industry, as most
sections pushed up fractions to around
4 points.
Convertible liens were in demand as
share prices bulged. American Type
founders convertibles jumped around
4 points and Studebaker 6s were up
about 3.
Gaining l to 2 points in active trad
ing were Illinois Central 4ais, Inter-
national Hydro Electric IS, MKT IS,
Southern Railway 4s, Baltimore &
Ohio AIS, Erie 5s, New Haven IS and
Great Northern As.
Federal loans inched up little in
quiet dealings. Gains ranged up to
6-52 of point, while declines were
confined to around 1872 of a point.
Foreign gold dollar issues were gen.
orally higher, with Japanese obliga-
tions advancing a point or more. Ital-
ian loans tended to soften.
