Glad to Get Away

He leaves Washington to those opponents who believe they can make hay in his absence; to those opponents who are confused or ex- asperated by his nonchalance and obvious refusal to be worried or scared; to those friends who wag their heads and complain that things always go from bad to worse when he leaves town like this; to those other friends who laugh and say 1t just demonstrates how F. D. R. has the whip hand and can afford to let the boys squabble while he relaxes and enjoys himself.
 It may be the worst possible strategy, but Roosevelt seems to think 1t the best.
 Convinced that he has the Su- preme Court fight won and can't lose, the President didn't mind getting away from 8 number of senators who have been beseech- ing him to accept compromise. The President still believes he has most of the people with him and that, not counting few not very important exceptions, the lineup between himsel9 and his Oppo- nents Is much the same as 1t was before the last election.

At least Gene Zarazen thinks Wal

rivals in a pro battle that carried on

snarl at each other as they passed has
gone, and the two are real friends and
admirers of each other nowadays.

OF COURSE it isn't up to Gene to
pick the Ryder Cup team. He
isn't on the Selection Committee, but
for publication he has gone out on
the well-known limb and made his
choices Just the same. ana some OF
'em won't line up with the committee
choices either.
The team according to Sarazen,
should be composed of Harry Cooper.
Tony Manero. Denny Shute, Sarazen
himself, Horton Smith, Ralph Gull
dahl, Henry Picard. Walter Hagen and
the winners of the 1887 open and
p. G. A. championships, both of which
will be played before the Ryder Cup
team sails for England.
That's all right, but Cooper is Eng
iish born and the rules of the matches
provide that only Americana born pros
may play.

Cooper be rated as an American pro-
fessional golfer. They would not rec
ognize him as an Englishman in Lon
