somewhere Between New YOrK and Denver, June e6-(UP)-In which a reporter, bound for the west and the national open on the Century, makes himself few century" notes:
 Why doesn't some track put up $50,00p in prize money and run a "hypochondriac derby" for all the ailing stake horses? It would be the race of the year, what with Stagehand and his whooping cough, Seabiscuit with his housemaid's knee, Lawrin with his fallen arches, and War Admiral with his owners fright" To make it perfectly fair, a veterinarian could do the handicapping. .. Suggested handi- caps: Stagehand-three pounds of qGjnine and an ice pack. Sea- biscuit-one crutch and heating pad. Lawrin-two corn plasters and an instep brace. . War Ad- miral-a certified check, as that seems to be the only thing that will make his owners start him.
 Modesty?
 Until I heard that radio broad cast from St. Andrews on Saturday I had always believed that the Brit ish led the league when 1t came to being modest in vicotry. .. But ion their jubilation over winning the Walker cup for the first time in his- tory, our dear cousins let their bangs down and did as fine 8 job of gloating as you ever heard. Typical remark of the broadcaster: q trust you will pardon me if I read the British scores first, be- cause our scores were so definitely superior. .. And, We have so often read articles in American newspa- pers asking what is the matter with British amateur golf. l hope that your papers today are asking whats wrong with Americas anna teur golf ."
 This sort of thing went on until dark, and it doesn't get dark until nearly midnight in St. Andrews you know. don't believe there is an American, and this goes for mem- bers of our Walker cup. team, who begrudges the British victory. .. If they hadn't won this time there was a good chance that the cup matches would have been abandoned or played under handicap system.
 Runs Too Far
 Watching Pittsburgh's John Wood- ruff score 8 double in the 440 and 88O at the I. c. A track meet at Randall's Island Saturday, heard a track critic say: If that big fel- low ever learns to keep out of pockets, he will set records for his distances that will stand forever" :" That's about true, because John usually runs some 470 yards in the 40 and 92O in the 880 getting out of trouble. BrutuS Hamilton, California track coach, makes all his boys take up hobby" event to relieve the monotony of working on their specialties. Sometimes a fellow becomes better in his '.hobby" than his speciality, and re- taxation is the answer to that.
 Propaganda

Robertson can't see the sense in traipsing from Berlin to Toky to Amsterdam to Los An- peles. Considers such proced- ure a tremendous waste of time and money.

 Grange Alves recalls Alex Ross sense of judgment in describing one of the more remarkable shots that he has seen.
 Ross performed the feat in the Western Open of 1921 at the Oak wood Country Club, which is to be the scene of $10,000 Cleveland Open, Aug. 11-14.
 'Ross hooked his second to the left of the 18th green" explains Alyes, veteran professional or Cleveland's Acacia. "The ball came to rest on the concrete porch or the clubhouse, a foot from the wall. .The United States Open cham pion of 1907 didn't hesitate sec- ond. He banked the ball off the wall with his butter to within foot Of the pin 100 feet away, and sank the putt for his par 4."
