Fathers Day

A fourth starter from the Dis
trict in the women's national
amateur championship at Will
mette, ILL.,, beginning September
10, has been added to the three
who have already announced
their intentions. In addition to
HELEN DETTW EILE r,
MARION BROWN and MRS.

Yesterday in the junior inter
city team matches at Manor, IN
which Washington trounced
Baltimore, 8 to 8, BOBBY
BROWNELL had the salts
faction of defeating OTTO
GREINER, Baltimore ace, 6 and
5, although his score was only
one stroke under GRE1NER'S
for the 1S. BOBBY Carded a
73, two over par. BILLY SHEA,
on the District No. 2 team,
made the best score Of the
match, when he wound up with
o par II.
This Sunday at Hillendale in
Baltimore will be staged a
Maryland Association Father &
Son tourney. Going from Wash
ington are two hot teams:
BOBBY g. his dad, H. P.
BROWNELL, and ROGER &
''POP" PEACOCK. Washington
fans are curious to see what
handicap the Maryland ASsocia-
ton will decide to give BOBBY
in this event, following their
arbitrary reduction Of his Manor
handicap from 4 to 3 in last
Sundays Five Farms mixed
Scotch foursome.
Another point which might
be made regarding the Five
Farms mixed Scotch foursome
event is the fact that EVELYN
MARVIN, who won low gross
award with BILLY WAGNER
Of Baltimore Country Club,
strictly speaking, was not ellgl-
BILE to compete in a Maryland
Association event. She is q Wis
itor from Rio de Janeiro, and
obviously whatever club she be-
longs to in South America is
not an affiliate of the Mary
land Association, a prerequisite
for all competitors.

Democratic Victory Approves FDR's
Program By Voters Of Washington
Agnew And Warner Run
Close; Initiative $50
Surprises

The Democratic party reelected
a complete set of officers in King
County, but only after a fight for
several offices. A hot fight waged
around the office of prosecuting
attorney, and it was only the
straight vote of the rural citizens
of the county that gave the en-
cumbent, B. Gray Warner, victory.
1t is possible that the votes will be
recounted unless the absentee vote
is overwhelmingly in favor of War
ner.
Republicans gave the encumbent
Tom Smith and Russell Fluent, De-
mocratic candidates for commits
sioner, close fight, but lost their
early advantages as the Voter
Straight in 49, vote began to pile
up and spell disaster for Republic
cans. The surprising number of
votes that several Republican can
didates received can be attributed
to the popularity of the individual
for the straight Republican vote,
was many times below those who
ran close races.
Initiative 100 lost as was ex-
pected by most political prophets,
but not until a surprisingly num-
Der of voters voted for it. In some
places it is said this mandate for
industrial peace will be needed by
union leaders who under no cir
cumstances want the security and
peace of their lucrative positions
jeopardized.
In the 37th district where the
largest number of Negro voters
live, John w. Sylvester, Ernest OIL
son, and Senator Judson Shorett,
all Democrats, were elected. Last
year Senator Shorett headed the
powerful appropriations commit
tee of the upper house and advo-
Gated the state meeting the requir-
ed amount of money asked by the
government for housing program
but he was unsuccessful and today
Washington has no Federal pro-
gram notwithstanding the number
of outmoded residents and slums
that clutter the major cities. Sena-
tor Shorett also is responsible for
the employment of a Negro guide
at the capitol, whose duty it is to
escort visitors over the grounds,
and buildings and lecture on the
background. John Sylvester has

Make Your Own
Opportunity
BY Airline N. Paiya

To a great extent 1 believe it is
up to the youth of today to make
his own job opportunity. To this
end he must be trained. Hence my
first advice to youth is ito get an
education that will train you for
specific job in life. I can give
you no finer advice.
However, some of you are defin-
itely out of school and it is with
the thought of aiding you THAT
these articles have been planned.
Through this medium it is hoped
that some suggestions will be made
that might prove helpful to you i'm
finding a place for yourself.
If you have talent for sketching,
plus a lot of imagination, why not
try the Christmas card business
With the market flooded with the
cheap Christmas cards, there are
amy number of people who would
be interested in something differ
emit if the price Is reasonable. DIR.
Hughes told me sast year that ann
ong the cards ne received there
were five of them just alike and
each from a different part of the
country. No one likes to send a
card that dozens of other people
are sending, and this could be used
as a strong selling point for your
original ideas.
How to get started. I would sug-
gest to the young business seeker:
first work out duplicating meth
cd so that only one sketch need be
made for a family, regardless of
quantity ordered. This will keep
production costs down, afford a
reasonable retail price, and insure
fair profit. Next, make up sew
eral samples, arrange them neatly
in scrap book with black pages,

LEAGUE STANDING

When it comes to pulling a game
out of the fire in a more devastat-
ing manner than did the Black
hawks in last Sundays game, it
will be that same eleven who nom
chalantly pushed Lady Luck" to
one side, turned the I'LL Wind" in
to a calm, and blasted the last
hopes of the Caseys to defeat the
Tan team this year.
During the first half neither
team showed any superior power,
though at times both teams show
ed spurts of fight, but these did
not last long enough to be called
scoring threats. However, it was
in this first half that the Knights
were given two points as Joe Sta
ton, back in the end zone to kick,
received a bad pass from center
that rolled across the end zone to
automatically give the Knights
two points.
Hawks Run Wild
With the switfness and pre-
ciseness of q mechanical army
corps, the Hawks attacked.
Quarterback Paul Chappell pull
ed what is generally known as a
fast one, the usual aerial attack
of Tanner to Height which the
Caseys expected, and had set
their denfense for, just didn't
materialize. Instead, Chapel
called on the combination, Tan
ner to Legs" Lewis, who ran the
first few minutes of play in the
second half gathered in one of
Tanners spot passes and cut to
the sidelines to score untouched
amid the cheers of the enthused
fans. Lining up for a try-fOr
point, quarterback Chappell, on
receiving the ball from center,
lateralled back to Tanner who
again spot passed to Otis "Stick-
y Fingers" Reese for the point.
With the score now 7 to 2, the
fans settled back in their seats
contented with the Tan's lead, on
ly to have the Caseys on two COM
pleted passes and a cleverly mask
ed play, score a touchdown to take
an 81 lead over the Hawks.
A penalty on the kickoff gave
the Nighthawks the ball on the
fifty following which came the
