first hole, a 30O-yarder, and then rolled
in a pitch shot for an eagle deuce.
George NARROW, World War
flyer, whacked in a birdie 3 on
the par 4 second hole, and then
knocked a tee shot within few
inches of the cup on the par 3
third for birdie 2.
Then ]. P. Stanton got a bird 3
on the par 4 fourth. They played the
nine with a better ball of 26 strokes,
which happens to be seven shots under

~ IAMI, Fla, March 5.-This
M sun-baked Winter sports
wv capital is seething with ex-
/ i citement and speculation as
to what will happen tomorrow after
noon in the $50,000 added. mile-and-
a-quarter Widener Challenge Cup at
Hialeah Park.
With the boost in added money
from last years $4,000, the second
running of the closing day classic
promises to threaten turnstile, betting
and racing records.
The major share of pre-race at
tention is going to Finance, 5-year-
old bay gelding by Bull Dog -Bourse,
who will go into the race backed up
by four brilliant victories this Winter
and the amazing luck of Chicago's
Mrs. Emil Denemark. AS running
partners, Finance will have the sturdy
fillies, Two Bob and E. D. ShafferS
Floradora.
Dozen Likely to Start.
THE three-ply entry, trained by
Big Bert Mitchell, probably will
be held at just short of 2 to /.
Finance started six times at Hialeah,
winning his last two over the mile
anda a-a-furlong distance, last Saturday
falling just one-f1fth of second
short of Brevity's track record of
1:4815.
Earlier In the meeting Finance
equaled Steel Cutters mile track rec
ord of 1855.
Behind Finance a half dozen or
more horses are closely figured. In
all, IL or 13 crack reuters are ex-
pected to start, although nearly 20
have been regarded as possible can
didates. Should an even dozen COM
pete, the net value of the race would
be approximately S65, 5000.

on each others frames near the

Joe. while Benny was groveling on

Would Make EN- Careful.

1T WOULD cut down the number
of one-putt greens and would
restore golf to its old degree of skill,
and bring back the value of good
shots from the tee and through the
fairway. The way the top notchers
of today are scoring is by cutting down
on their puts. You hear any day of
a good pro getting around in 81 or
68 with about 26 or 81 puts. They
miss three or four greens in round
and chip the ball close enough to hole
it for par But they wouldn't do
it with the 2s4 Inch cup. They'd be
trying to get on the green and they'd
be little more careful with all their
shots"
Gosh, when think of the tourna-
ments I've lost because I missed

Houghton man. But think I'd have

says AL. who used to be the pro at Cav

that the sound golfers-the men who
were hitting the green's in correct
flgures-were not much affected By
the smaller cups. But the reduction
in the size Of the cup had a big effect
on the men who were missing the
greens by a few yards and chipping
back hoping to get their pars Now
after all golf is a game played from
tee to green, but how many times
in tournament does the fellow who
can't hit a lick from tee to green, but
who happens to be fine putter, whip
the fellow who plays pretty good
golf up to the green and is a lousy
putter?"
But wouldn't the smaller cup place
too much emphasis on putting. which
already is over-emphaSized?" We asked
Al. Nope" he said. ''On the con-
trary it would de-emphasize putting in
that it would give the man who hits
the green in the right number Of
shots a better chance than the guy
who misses the putting surface with

desecrating signs which are placed
along our highways. The state of
Montana has gone to a great deal of
expense and effort to place beauti-
ful signs illustrative of historic
points and places of interest in the
state. Many counties have done
much good work in placing direc-
t1Onal signs. The bureau Of public
roads and the state highway COM
mission have done much in plac-

many signs giving the names of
topographic features, location of
trails and roads and other matters
OF interest to the general public
seemingly, campaign against the
desecrating of such signs would be
well worth while. These signs are
made and placed by taxpayers
money. 1t costs taxpayers money to
replaced defaced signs, money which
could be used to far better ad-
vantage for the placement of ad-
dIuonal needed signs. The need
OF the signs TO Montana residents
Is evident. Most of us do not know
all OF our own state and when trav-
