Cigar Complicates Matters.


RUT saluting Hitler is not as easy
as 1t sounds for the we'll dressed
tight manager. The last time Joe
found himself in the Fuehrer's pres
ence, everybody else uncovered and
stretched out an arm in the standard
Nazi salute. Joseph, like a prudent
citizen, had his hat on his head and
his elght-inch heater. or cigar in his
teeth. Thus he found himself hand
euffed.
His solution, on the spur of the
moment. was to remove his headgear
with one hand and stretch out the
other in salute, leaving his stogie
Hrning IN his fangs. The press was
very critical next day.
Der Fuehrer has been insulted by
Yusseu Jacobs" said one paper.
''Yussel Jacobs. the Well-knoWn
nor-Aryan, has insulted Der Fuehrer,"
said another.
Down with Jacobs" said a third.
who is this Jacobs" inquired a
fourth. who salutes Der Fuehrer with
miles of lighted punk in his face?"
Mr.. Jacobs humiliation, in behalf
'ef self and cigar, was boundless. And
when his friend came around the other
day to call his attention to the matter
OF saluting, Joe discovered that he had
not yet thought of a way out
I understand that the boys put their

after day. Jackie pounds that ball
around the lengthy Congressional
course in figures from "A to "a. He
has that knack Of successful golfers
of gearing his game to the compe-
titpn. Jackie usually wins 'by hole
or two. You won't see him winning
tournaments. He isn't good enough
to do that. but If you want really
tough match try Jack McCarron some
time. He's a hard guy TO lick.
Nor does he play standard golf
equipment. Even before Paul Runyan
set the present style in multiple spoon
wooden-club equipment Jackie had 1t
all thought out. He carries not one
but six spoons in his bag, with which
he plays everything from a full two
iron to a mashie shot. And it's a
treat in shotmaking to see Jackie cut
a ball up against the wind with what
he calls a mo. spoon"
Dickey's Another Money Player.
THERE'S one in every club. Over
at Washington the hard boot is
Calvert Dickey, also a gent who
learned his golf the hard way. We'd
like to see Dickey and McCarron get
out on the first tee sometime and
listen to the bets being placed.
It would be an education In
"Phenagling," for both of 'em
are smooth takers and both
know their own capabilities and
like to wager.
Dickey's speciality is getting "bal-
anced" matches. You don't have to
be around Washington long to know
what that means. Some day we hope
to see Dickey and Jack McCarron
get together in a head-and-head
match. It would be a lesson In match
making to hear the conversation and
another lesson to see the unorthodox
shots after the dough had been laid.
Dickey is another who can 60 for
the money. Parker Nolan, former
Congressional champ, met Dickey In
q Washington tournament a few years
ago. He rates to lick Dickey in any
golf match and he did in that one.
But after the match ended on the
fourteenth or fifteenth hole they
started betting. Just because Dickey
had been whipped it didn't stop him
from betting. "He took me for fve
bucks" said Nolan, after I'd whipped
him for fun" a..

as the writing boys in New York say,
is pretty cute in astuteness.
Jack is an institution at the Con-
gressional Country Club, where he
plays his golf For years the boys

the McCarron cash, and sometimes
they have succeeded, but Jackie is so
smart in making wagers and so good
at stroking the ball when he gets them
down that he does pretty we'll for him.
self at golf. At the animal game
he's wonder in the business of
knocking an approach shot a yard
from the green. then chipping up and
getting down in a single putt.
But new wrinkle in the game has
penalized that little stunt, the favorite
OF both Jack and of Bill Ullman, orig
