PICKENS AND HILL
GREATEST TAKERS
Daily Dispatch Bureau;
In the Sir Walter Hotel
By HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, Feb. 26.-Neither can be
rated as even among the most influen-
tial members of the legislature, but
there is no doubt at all that Senator
John Sprunt Hill and Representative
rupert Pickens are far and away the
most voluble lawmakers of the cur
rent session.
A legislative session offers dozens
of chances daily for speech. and be
it said of the senator from the Bull
CITY and the gentleman from Gull
ford that both have done their daily
dozen. If either has missed even one
chance to talk, it has escaped the at
tention of observers who have sat
through every session.
There is no doubt that both the
gentlemen have a wide store of know
ledge. Both have themselves so stated
time and again. This is admitted on
all sides, albeit one automatically
inclined chap jotted down the lengths
of time Senator Hill said he has been
engaged in various and sundry oc-
equations and, after totalling the long
column announced the conclusion that
the Durham man is 179 years old
Mr.. Pickens cannot possibly qualify
for that length of life, his youthful,
cocky appearance putting an absolute
veto on any such possibility but he
invariably gives the impression that
the knowledge of all the ages has been
confided to his keeping. Senator Hill
often utters the obvious with the
gravity of a Satyr; Representative
Pickens often asserts the ridiculous
with an air of assurance that as

bill for voluntary retirement of just
ices with full pay at 70.
{ Although the Summers bill, already
approved by the House, is only a sup
plement to the Presidents proposals
for court reorganization, administra-
ton leaders summoned their forces to
back it. 1ts I<eAI
Some congressman have predicted
one or two justices would retire if
the law were passed. This, they said,
might offer a way out of the dispute
over the Presidents suggestion the
court be increased if older justices do
not leave the bench.

ANSWERS

1. Fayetteville in 1851 had a daily
mail service from Raleigh, another

paper, not by the amount of news
available. When larger papers were
issued, larger type was used. After all
there was no more news in a large
sheet than in the small one

Monty Mobbed as 1900
Fans Break Ub Match

NEW YORK, Nov. Is (UP) -
Twelve thousand unruly fans up
set John Montague's introduction
to his future public on the Fresh
Meadow links yesterday. They
forced him to retire after playing
nine holes Of a scheduled 18 holes
exhibition match with Babe Ruth,
Babe Didrikson and Mrs. Sylvia
Annenberg.
It was probably the biggest
crowd in American golfing history
and il was the first time a sports
event had to be abandoned be-
cause of the size of the gallery.
The fans walked on the heels of
the players, swarmed through
sand traps, and paraded across
greens with utter disregard of any
thing except a desire to get a
closed view OF the show.
SO today Mysterious Montague"
friend OF Hollywood's golfing cele-
brities and central figure of many
q Bunyonesque links story, re-
mains an unknown because his
public refused to let him play.
Montague was paired with Mrs.
Annenberg against the two Babes
in an exhibition in the name of
charity at the rate of 81 per head.
Bill Corum and Grantland Rice,
who ran the show, reported that
10000 tickets were sold. Anybody
can guess at the number who
jumped the fences of the Fresh
Meadow club. The popular esti-
mate was $4,000 followed the ex-
hibition.
Final decision of Scotty CHS
holm, the Los Angeles golf writer
who flew here TO referee the
match. dressed i'm brilliant red
kiltieS, was that the Babes won,
2 up. There were no medal scores
because Monty and Mrs. AMMAN
berg each picked up ION two holes
and all picked up on the ninth.
Monty was four over par for the
holes he holed out. So was Mrs.
Annenberg. Babe Ruth was three
over and the other Babe, who play
ed the best golf of the day, was
