Play With Spirit

If you doubt the competitive
temperament of the women,
look at the scores in the matches
Yesterday. More than half a
dozen matches were decided on
the eighteenth green, or in extra
hole matches. Mrs. Howard
Simons, of Manor, defeated Mrs.
Bullock on the last green. Mrs.
R. C. Jones, of Army and Navy,
went to the nineteenth green to
defeat Mrs. Chaplin. Mrs. Wild
mayer, of Argyle, and Mrs. H.
Harper went to the nineteenth
to win their matches, and Mrs.
]. R. DeFarges went 20 holes to
beat Mrs. Lewis. This is notable
for the reason that Mrs. De
Farges is the dean of feminine
competitors in this sector OF the
country.
No indeed, they make few
concessions, which is proper, but
the high quality of the present
competitors and the will to
battle to the end rout any
charge of lack Of sporting spirit.

A NEW LOW
A few minutes later Griffith
went out to watch his hirelings
annihilated by the st. Louis
Browns who, in turn, have been
annihilated by every team in the
American League except the Mats.
It was the second straight day
that the Browns had given Wash
ington an 11-run pasting. And
for the second straight day Wash
ington'S pitching, fielding and hit
ting struck a new low.
After the game Griffith indi-
Gated that KrakauskaS would soon
get a starting assignment, for in

the possibilities of bringing Buck Newsom back WASH

Griffith, it was learned, off
cred two unnamed players and cash
for the big rtghthander who once
pitched for Washington.
BROWNS LIKE KRAKKY
Last night Gabby Street com.
municated with William o. De-
Witt in regard to the Griffith
offer.
1t was also learned that the
Browns are impressed by Joe
Krakauskas, WaShington's wild
wild young lefthander who yester-
day pitched five Scoreless innings
against st. Louis, allowing only
one hit before weakening in the
eighth inning. It is possible that
he may be involved in any possible
deal.
Detroit, Cleveland and New
York have already made overtures
to the Browns front office for
Newsom, but the Browns, like the
other less potent clubs Of the
league, are reluctant to Strenthen
any potential pennant winner.
Moreover, st. LouS will not make
deal unless it can add to its
playing strength.
BUCK SAYS NO
Buck NeWsom, when asked last
night if he might return to Wash
ington said:
I'm very we'll satisfied with
the Browns. Gabby Street has
been swell to me and I don't
care about changing. Yes, I
heard that Washington wanted
to get me back. In fact talked
to Griffith today and, though
he didn't mention anything
about deal, he was unusually
nice to me. I don't see what
Griff could offer to interest the
Browns in parting with me.
Griff told me: Buck, if we had
you we'd win the penant.'"
With June Is the deadline for
deals near at hand, Griffith is
working overtime in his little
Stucco office, waging a futile
search for a pitcher.
I'm doing everything can"
said Griffith yesterday, "and if
money can bring us a good
pitcher we're willing to spend"
"a GREAT PITCHER"
A few minutes before the fore.
going statement Griffith just
about bowled the baseball writer's
over when, herding them together
with a great show of Importance,
he said:
Boys, here's real news for
you. I've landed a great
pitcher"
The old man of the Mats didn't
get any farther than that, for the
baseball writer's all but crawled
into his lap, pegging questions
into the old boys ear.
Was it Gomez? Ruffing? Grove?

FIRST HOLE TOUGH
Perfect Day Greets
Large Field in
Golf Classic
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

DENVER, Col, June 9 G.N.S0
In setting Of scenic beauty, with
snow-capped mountains as back
drop, the forty-second annual Ma
tional Open golf championship got
under way today when a tall, 1.-the
Denver amateur, Ernest R. Nelson,
smacked the opening shot $50
yards down the Cherry Hills fair
way for a perfect drive. Verl
Stinchcomb'S pitched out of the
vile, KY, paired with Nelson,
hooked his drive into the rough.
The weather was perfect. A
bright sun blazed down upon the
picturesque course, with it's mar
row fairwayS and poStage-Stamp
green's. A light breeze gently flut-
tered the flags on the pins. The
early gallery was fairly large, in
cluding many brightly-garbed
women.
BOTH TAKE SIS
Both Nelson and Stinchcomb
took SIS on the par first hole.
Nelson's iron overran the green.
His approach slid six feet past the
cup and he missed the putt.
Stinchcombs pitched out of the
rough to the fringe of the green.
His third shot stopped 10 feet be-
yond the cup and he required two
puts.
The second pair to tee off, Zell
Eaton, of Oklahoma City, and
Jerry Henderson, of Salt Lake
City, also ran into difficulties on
the first hole. Eaton took a s.,
Henderson a 6.
Eaton's tee shot landed in a
ditch and he was on the green
with a penalty third. Henderson
also drove into the ditch for a
penalty. His iron skinned the
green and his approach stopped
10 feet past the pin. He took two
puts.
Charles Sheppard, Of Oakland,
Cal, was the first player to get a
par on the first hole. He
smashed his teI shot down the
middle 27O yards. His niblick sec
ond was 80 feet away, but he got
down in 4.
His partner in this twosome
Ben Hogan, of White Plains, N. Y,
took a on the hole, after getting
in the rough on his tee shot.
Par on the first hole also eluded
! the next twoSome to get away, AL
Zimmerman, of Portland, Ore,
and Ormond Beaupre, Detroit,
Mich, both of whom took SIS.
VETERAN CHEERED
Alex Watson, Yonkers, N. Y,
negotiated par on No. hole. He
was straight down the center Of
the tee, on in two ana down in
four. His partner. Byron Haroke,
RoSelle, ILL.,, was short in two, 80
feet away in three and required
two puts for a S.
The veteran Willie McFarlane,
of Purchase, N. Y, drew applause
from the gallery when he smashed
his second shot from the side Of
the ditch on the first hole to the
green. He was down in four.
Vernon Allen, Hopkins, MINI.
paired with McFarlane, took a S
when he jabbed one of his puts.
On the succeeding holes the
early starters got into plenty Of
difficulty and their scores didn't
look any too good.
Par for the first nine holes is
IS. Nelson took a AZ for the first
nine, Stinchcomb a Al. Their
cards for the nine:

Al B. Webster
Is 20 Years
I'm Insurance

In point of service, Al. B. Wester is
probably the oldest insurance repre-
sentative in Henderson, certainly in
years of activity in this city, and in
writing as complete line as he does.
He is a native Henderson man, has
lived all of his life in Henderson, and
knows nearly every body in Hender-
son and Vance county, and every
nook and corner of both city and
, Ounty.
That is an asset that is invaluable
to an insurance man. Contacts are
an essential part of his labors, and
so far as that goes it means Mr..
Wester has an equipment that can be
acquired only by the :.assing of time
and continuous work in the same
given field.
Mr.. Wester has been in the insur-
ance business in Henderson 20 years,
and that is a long time. Some of the
most important and valuable bust
ness and residential property in Hen
derson is insured in companies he re-
presents He is a man thoroughly
familiar with real estate values in
Henderson, another thing that stands

kinds of damage. Insurance, rentals
and real estate constitute his business.
But he also buys and sells farm prop
erty and handles farm rentals, and
then writes fire insurance on farm
dwellings, pack barns and other farm
property.
Mr.. Westers office is in the Nc
Coin building on Young street, OPP
posite the Municipal Building, the
Law Building and the court house.
In addition to his business &C
tivities, MIR sWester is prominent in

since the association was organized.

section of the State. 1t has plant
that covers twenty acres, and its pro-
duct is bagging and ties.
This concern employs about 800 OPP
eratives and runs the entire year. 1t
has a daily capacity of so yards OF
bagging, or enough to cover lO,OUO
bales of cotton. More than half OF
the annual output is sold at Memphis
and beyond.
Great quantities of material is inn
ported from abroad for use in the
factories here, in the making of jute
bagging, sugar bag cloth and cotton
ties and patches.
The plants are located in the south
ern part of the city, where an intri-
cate maze of spur tracks from the
Seaboard Air Line railroad bring in
materials and take out the finished
product to carry it to the far corners
of the cotton growing sections of
Dixie.

B. & L. Works
ToB Build Up

Henderson Building & Loan Asso-
citation is one of those institutions
whose sole purpose is the building up
of Henderson, the community in
which it is located and which it ser
YES. 1t was established some 10 years
ago, and has proud record of
achievement in its assistance to home
owners during that time.
Irvine B. Watkins is president and
AL. B. Wester is secretary-treasurer of
the association. It's other officers and
it's board of directors are men who
stand for the advancement and pro-
gress of Henderson and Vance county.
They are men who, for the most part,
have business establishments of their
own and have made success of them.
During the more than a decade and
a half the Henderson association has
been in operation it has matured it's
ssries on time and has earned the GUS
tomary interest for investors, either
six percent or more.
Scores of homes in Henderson have
been built or financed through this
association. It lends only on first
mortgages, and then only on conser-
vative appraisals of property values.
1t owns no real estate, and has ample
funds on hand for lending to home
builders in this community, and in
vites applications for financing of
this type.
New series are opened each April
and October, and two series are ma
tured each year, in March and Sep
TENDER. Stock in the association is
non-taxable to the stakeholder indi-
vidually, and earnings are always in
excess of six percent. An investment
that pays that much interest without
taxes is a choice holding in these
times of low interest and cheap
money.
The association has enjoyed steady
and continuous growth since it's es-
Enlistment, and today numbers
among its stockholders many of the
most substantial and conservative
business people of the community. 1t
has both large and small investors on
its books, and it's maturities are in
the form of cancelled mortgages or
in cash payments to investors.
