lar debt in addition to the 2 billions
or SO of loose cash in the Treasury.
More exciting than discussion of
the National Debt is the talk heard
everywhere about the recent disclos-
ure of Jimmy" Roosevat's sudden
rise OF wealth as an insurance agent.
Gossip has been rife for several
years to the effect that the Presi-
dents oldest son was cashing in on
his relationship, but the detailed ac-
count of the huge volume of insur-
ance on which he collects commits
sions, underwritten through the
Boston agency in which he is part
ner, has come as distinct shock to
the Presidents friends.
No charge has been publicly made
that Jimmy" has had the backing
of his fathers influence in sudden
ly becoming one of the most success
full insurance statesmen in the world,
with an income estimatd at above
quarter of million dollars a year.
But the large number Of concerns
having direct or indirect business
with the Government, whose insur-
ance business has been switched to
"Jimmy's" firm, is a list which
makes interesting reading.

 The Cincinnati Reds might not win the National league pennant, but every one agrees they are the handsomest bunch of players on the circuit the Brooklyn Dodgers are the only team who have G platform, to wit: 1.

New York, Sept Q. (UP)-On the tennis court he is as cold proposi- ton as ever swung racquet. Win ming or losing, he always scorns the safe shots and hits out for the sides and corners. The crowd neither bothers nor inspires him because he ignores 1t. At match point, for or against him, 1t is his policy to pound away ct the ball with oil the power in his towering frame,
 Iclcle In Pants
 That is Ellsworth Vines, An icicle in white pants.
 It's an even money bet, however, that when he steps on the first tee Monday in the National Amateur Golf championships at Pittsburgh. He will have momentary attack if jitters that will knock his knees, brings beads of precipitation to his brow enough for e goldfish to swim in, and make him long for the fami. lies feel of Q tennis racquet
 There won't be more than few hundred spectators around the first tee, but to Vines they will loom larger than oil the tens of thousands who have watched him play tennis oil over the world. I have yet to meet c champion ct some other sport who, when he turned to tour nament golf, didn't get c case Of galloping buck fever" on the first tee.
 There never was tougher, colder competitor than TyruS Raymond Cobb was at baseball. The bigger the crowd, the more crucial the moment, the finer Cobb performed. But you should sec him in 0 golf tournament. He suffers i7 deaths on that first tee, and even in friendly games he likes to start on the second hole if there is q gathering at the first one.
 laughed at this embarrassment of Tvs during e round on the coast last winter and he said;
 T just can't help 1t. can't stand to play before 0 crowd"
 Of course, Vines will eventually get over being afraid to play before Q gallery If he sticks to golf, but it win be Q long, long time, If ever, bee fore he will be able to face Q cru- cial shot on the fairway or green with the same assurance he faced Q similar shot on the tennis court. Golf puts more severe pressure on the nerves than any other sport. You don't have to take my word for it. Ask Bobby Cruickshank or Tom my Armour or any of c dozen or more top-ranking pros who played at other sports before turning to the mashie and the mid-iron.

 Infected Throat

Forest Hills, N. Yp Sept. o-(UP) --J, Donald Dudge, seeking the first grand slam" in tennis, will drag his weary body to the court today to begin c defense of his national singles title,
 He is suffering from on infected throat and there has been much talk of his having to default and waive tho opportunity to sweep the Australian, British, French and American championships in one year. He already holds the first three named. He drew Q first round bye, and is scheduled to start against Welby Van Horn, one of the most promising youngsters in tho game.
 If Budge is woll enough to score Q convincing win today he probab- ly will play through tho tourna- ment. Tn only reasonably good health Budge would Do favored to emerge victor from the final round c week from tomorrow.
 With one exception, seeded stars advanced without incident in yes- tordays opening round Bernard DeStremeau, the young French Da- vis Cupner, who was seeded fourth in the foreign group, was upset 2-e. e-4, i-0, 3-0 by Don McNeill, Ken yon College student from Oklaho- ma City.
 Bobby Riggs of Chicago, seeded second in the domestic list, took four sets to eliminate Peter Lauck of Wynnewood Pa, but Riggs never really bore down-.even after losing the first set. Adrian Quist, Austra. lia's second seeded foreigner, ad- vanced more easily, eliminating Pittsburghs Frankie Broida in straight sets. Jack Bromwich, who was the No. seeded foreign threat, was idle yesterday and meets Ans gust Qanzemuller of Sea Cliff, N. d., today.
 Top-seeded Helen Jacobs of Ber- kelley, Calf, started her drive for her fifth womens title by crushing Anne Harrison of Ruxton, Md. Alice Marble of Beverley Hills, who is ranked No. 1 nationally but seed- ed second by the U. s. L. T. A., did not play yesterday and should breeze past Mrs. Catherine Sample of Miami today.

in an important tournament. A i0- foot put will gray the hair, palsy the hands, and harden yards of arteries, And mind you, l0-foot puts don't just come every once in q while. You no more than finish bat. ting to the death with one, than you must walk on and look another in the eye. I never have walked the last mile to the electric chair, but I don't believe 1t Is Q wore ordeal than stepping up on that green for Q putt that means the winning or losing of Q title."
 This from Q man who rode through the World War in Q tank, when tanks weren't any too bullet-proof, You might ask Tommy some time about those moments in c tank when bullets got in and then, not being able to get out, buzzed about Inside like heeS. He'll still tell you golf is harder on the nerves.
 But back to Vines. If Ely can manage to master the "jitters" ct Pittsburgh he should stay around until well into the week. His is c pretty sound game, Harry Cooper, Q fair judge of golfing style, said as long ago as last December, after watching Vines play c round or two, that oil he needed to become one of the finest amateurs was c few refinements. Vines, c patient, hard- worker at anything he sets his mind on, probably has gained those re- flnements.
 Let Us hope 50, anyway, because amateur golf could stand Q little additional color.
