~ NE of the players who has kept
up his game by making the
Winter tournament tour, or
~ at least playing in the early
Spring events in the Southwest, will
have tremendous advantage in the
annual P. G. A. championship OPEN
ing May "a at the Pittsburgh Field
Club. The others hardly will have had
time to get their game working.
Denny Shute of Boston, who won
last November at Pinehurst, will
defend his title against the usual
massed field. In recent years no
P. G.. A. champion has been able to
repeat, although prior to 1880 it was
the usual thing
l attribute this to faster fields.
Shute will be one of the favorites
but his chances seem no better than
those OF other topnotchers.
Based on present form and staving
qualities in match play competition,
favor such men as Byron Nelson, the
Masters winner; Jimmy Thomson,
Paul Runyan, Harold McSpaden and
Harry Cooper.
They all have enough youth, enough
staying power and enough good golf.
Guldahl Has Stamina.
ALPH GULDAHL is making his
first P. G.. A. bid. AS he has not
been tested in match play I find it
difficult to form line on him, but he
can keep going with the ease of a
marathon runner and that's a big help
IN this event.
Leo Dlegel was the last pro to win
successive P. G. A.'s-1928 in Balti-
more and 1929 in Los Angles.
The latter win was most remarkable.

In a meeting marked by denunci-

at dinner at the Raleigh Hotel last
night. The selection was unanimous
by some so delegates and representa-

Speaking for the committee, Dele
gate j. Nelson Anderson told feder-
alton representatives such a move
would be neither polite or advanta-
geous. A concerted move not to pay
the tax was recommended by Fairfax

who said:

In further denunciation of tax law,
Delegate Louis I. Obergh said: The
tax is not based upon profits, but upon

Is discriminatory"
Only after spirited debate did the
delegates agree to abide by the COM
nlittee's recommendation to await the
outcome of the courts decision.

Trip Underseas in Divinq
Helmet Lends Thrill
TO Visitors.

Summer visitors and budding
scientists have found a new thrill
in Bermuda. One of the most pop
ular diversions of the summer is
amateur helmet diving, made pos
sible through the government &C
quarium on Harrington sound.
Although not new idea, this
is the best opportunity the public
has been given to enjoy this
unique sport, and hundreds f
sightseers, including many wom-
en- and children, are taking ad-
vantage of the privilege" says
a bulletin from the National Geo
graphic society.
Heavy Helmet Becomes Light

one of the finest in the world,
more adventurous ichthyologists

Underwater View of Fish Ideal.
Wandering through this tWi-
light, underseas world one has the
queer feeling of being a disem-
bodied spirit, of pressing against
warm wind, of wading, not up to
ones ankles only, but with ones
whole body. Distances under wat
er are strangely deceiving. The
diver progresses through sunlit
water for what seems a city block
only to be told on his ascent that
he has covered no more than a
score of feet.
'Those who think all fish are
silvery and torpedo shaped are
surprised by the variety of beauti-
full colors and the strange shapes
of Bermuda's fish. While one gets
some slight idea of them by gaz-
ing down through a glass-bot-
toned boat toWed slowly over the
reefs, one can see them still bet
ter, without distortion or fore
shortening, through the helmet.

looking on ice in Bermuda's
markets, appear full of brilliant
coloring that flashes and changes
when seen alive under the water.

Cecil Rhodes Knew
Little About America

The fact that there are today
more Rhodes scholars from the
United States at Oxford than from
all the British dominions put to-
gether, is due to an extraordinary
error on the part of Cecil Rhodes.
"He believed there were still
only the original thirteen states in
the Union of America" says
Sarah Gertrude Millin in her BIZ
ography of Rhodes. "Nor did the
solicitor who drew up his will,
know better.'

mentary few for Germany.-Kan-

koala Bear About Half
an Inch Long When Born

The koala bear, Australia's most
popular native, is a lovable live
toy, writes Mason Warner in the
Chicago Tribune. He never grows
very big. The young are born in
an immature state, little more than
half an inch in length, and are car
ried and developed in the mothers
pouch for about six months, at the
end of which time the baby meas
ures about six inches in length,
weighs about six ounces, and spo-. IS
a fine fur coat.
For three or four months longer
the mother carries the cub on her
back, where it holds on with its
arms around her neck, or clings to
her bosom with her protecting arms
around it. But the pouch is still
used until the young one has grown
too big to get into it. Maternal care
and protection continue till the cub
is a year old. A mother will hold
her infant on her lap and fondle
and stroke it in almost human fash

Grunts, Sergeant-Majors, Angel
fish, and many others dart past
the helmets window.
MANY forms of sea life, other
than fish, attract the attention of
the diver. On the rocks are
chitons, related to snails, whose
shells are arranged in overlap
ping plates. Pulled loose from a
reef, they curl up like miniature
armadillos. Lovely sea anemones
wave pastel-colored tentacles to
and fro like the languid arms of
odalisques.
"On the sand are puffy black
sea puddings, tiny scuttling crabs,
crawling starfsh, and spiny sea
urchins. Stepped on, the spines of
these so-called 'hedgehogs of the
sea- frequently break off in ones
foot.
Bermuda is an ideal place
in which to observe fish by means
of helmets for two reasons. The
Gulf stream, which flows like a
warm sapphire river through the
Atlantic north of Bermuda, pro-
tects the islands from cold and
insures teeming supply of semi
tropical fish. The islands are coral
formations on the top of a sub
marine mountain, and thus scien-
tific dives may be made very near
shore, to observe both deep and
shallow water species of fish"
