TAMPA, June 16.-Plans


TAMPA, June 16.-Plans
for the largest inter-city visit
ever made by the local
Chamber of Commerce were
outlined at a meeting yester-
day for the projected visit to
Key West for the Overseas
Highway Celebration July
"a.
Warren Smith. General
Manager of the Celebration,
who attended the meeting at
the invitation of the Cham
Der, outlined the program
for the three-day fiesta.
Dudley Haddock, Cham
Der Secretary and chairman
of the meeting, suggested
the local contingent go to
Key West in . body July 2
and return the night of the
Fourth. The plan was en-
Enthusiastically adopted and to-
morrow the Chamber will be-
gin a city-wide canvas to de-
termine how many Tampans
will be able to make the trip.
This action came after F.
M. Traynor, vice president
of the Florida Portland
Cement CO.. and prominent
in local civic affairs, pointed
out that Miami in recent
years has gradually cut into
the business Tampa firms
have been doing with Key
West and declared that IL
something IS not done imme-
xdiately to restore former re-
lations with Key Westers
that this business would dis
appear entirely. He urged
that so of Tampa's business
firms send representatives
to the celebration.
Ybor city is also making
elaborate plans to attend
the big celebration. In ad-
dition to the two buses al
ready chartered for the trip
by Tampans. three have been
chartered by Ybor City resi-
dents. The Cuban Club and
other Latin organizations
plan to send several bus
loads of visitors to Key West
for the celebration.
Smith discussed the cele-
bration program with var
ious committees and individ-
uals of both the Tampa and
Ybor city Chambers Of Com
merce and reported great en-
thusiasm was manifest every
where.

cause he could not see to putt. An

at Holyoke in less than 100. wearing
full infantry equipment, canteen,
full field pack and haversack. His
score was "a.
OF all the marathoners Of the
links, Bruce Sutherland of Edin-
burgh, Scotland, holds the top rec
ord. In 1927 he played 252 holes,
starting June 81 at 8:15 p. m. and
finishing the following day at 1880
D. m. Caddies carried torches to
light the way during the night. He
walked more than 40 miles and fin
ished in rainstOrm.
Over in Australia unique record
was made by w. F. r. Boyce, club
champion of the Brisbane Golf club,
Queensland He played 108 holes
one day over eight different courses
covering 55-mile radius.
ReturningetO America, the record
hunters found several more stand
outs. For instance Dan Kenney OF
Tyler, Texas, and Bill Lundberg Of
Houston completed zig holes from
4:3O a. m. to 8 p. m. back in 1928.
Kenney took $50 strokes, or a. per
hole and Lundberg took 1908, or a.
per hole. In 1916 Charles Daniels
played 228 holes at Sabatths' Park.
He accomplished this in Is hours,
had an average score Of "a per 18-
hole round and covered IS miles
from a. m. to 1880 p. m.
So, Mr.. Ferebee. it seems, is one
of a long line of golf marathoners.
Few on the list. however have given
a better performance than he did.
Moreover, his feat has been profita.
BILE even since he won his partners
half interest in the farm, for he has
received a number Of offers to en-
dorse various commodities for a
price and has acc ,pted some Of the
more attractive ones. The result of
all the publicity and acclaim he re-
ceived IL that golfers everywhere
are trying to Guido his record.

Speaking of Sports
Variations in
Golf Old Stuff,
History Shows
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

ALI tales Of endurance on golf
courses have been going the
rounds since J. Smith. Ferebee,
young Chicago broker, negotiated
~ holes at Olympia Fields in
single day with q score Of 81 and
thereby won his business partners
half Of $4,000 Virginia plantation
as well as numerous cash bets.
Ferebke became a seven-day
wonder and an epidemic Of golf
marathpnS broke out reminiscent of
the pole1sitting fever of a decade
ago. No one Should be brash enough
to disnarAge Ferebee's remarkable
feat. y accomplished it under hand
leaps en6ngh to stop an ordinary
player. But when old-timers began
digging through the records here
and abroad they came on some in
teresting instances of. golf en-
durance that not only equalled Fer
ebee's but gave other aspiring
marathoners an even tougher mark
to shoot at.
For instance, there was the rec,
ord Of Slason Thompson, Chicago
newspaper man who played eight
rounds one day back in 1906 ut On.
wentsia, clicking OF la holes with
out losing his breath. And Thomp-
SON was IS years old at the time.
Then there was Eddie Wild, who
went 162 holes back in 1921 at the
Seaview course at Atlantic City,
winning a 81 900 bet that he could do
the job carrying his own clubs and
break 80 every round.
When the record hunters travelled
across the ocean, they found even
more startling examples of golf
stunts. Back in Aberdeen, Scotland,
a golfer named w. G. Bloxom wa
gered he could play IL rounds over
the Aberdeen course and then walk
ten miles afterwards-all within "A
hours. His bet was accepted and
one morning in 1875 he started out
at 6 a. M, finished between 8 and
p. m. and then walked his ten
miles. The Aberdeen course was IS
holes, so Bloxom played 1870 holes.

ing years. The Tigers finished sec
ond in 1886 and 1887. Charley
Grimm's six-year record with the
Cubs included. two pennants, second
place twice and third place twice.
All of which might indicate that the
luckiest manager is the one who
never quite reaches the top.
Gabby Street, now manager Of the
st. Louis Browns, could probably
speak with feeling on the subject.
He won pennants for the st. Louis
Cardinals in 1880 and 1881 and then
slipped down to a tie for sixth In
1892. His exit was dramatic.
Probably the lone exception
among pennant-winning managers
who are able to hold their jobs when
the team skids is Connie Mack. In
the past 20 years the Philadelphia
Athletics under his tutelage have fin
ished first three times and last six
times. They've been in seventh
place twice, in sixth once, in fifth
and third twice each and in second
four times. One of the reasons Con-
ME has hung on is that he is q
substantial stockholder in the club.
Mickey Cochrane's trouble at De-
troit was that success probably
came too suddenly. He startled the
baseball world by winning pennant
in 1884, his first year as manager
and then repeated in 1885, taking
the worlds championship to boot.

Lumsden, started at 2:20 a. m. and
completed IL rounds before 8 p. m.
He is said to have holed out every
putt, played 216 holes and averaged
821s strokes per round.
Some of the British marathons
have taken bizarre turn. Accoua

Price of Success

r ASEBALL success is its own
worst hazard, p9 rticularly a big
league managers. Once a manager
wins pennant for his team he must
make habit of winning or expect
to be sub 'ected to a kick down and
out. At least that is what the expe.
rience of two Of the major leagues
most successful managers-Charley
Grimm and Mickey COchrane-
might suggest. .
Mickey Cochrane was ousted as
manager Of the Detroit Tigers, fol-
lowing closely on the dismissal Of
Charley Grimm by the Cubs. Coch-
rane hadn't won a pennant for De.
troit for two years, but he had won
pennants in each Of the two preced-

magnified this year wildness in
pitching to batters and carelessness
in watching runners once they get on
base. Bobby still leads the league
in, strikeouts this year, but he is
also far in the lead in bases on
balls and his earned run average is
somewhere between Ave and six
runs per game. He Is frequently
the victim Of stolen bases.

the highly efficient agency 1t is to-
day. To Mr.. Cummings also must 60
a large measure of credit for impor-
tant reforms in the administration
of Federal prisons, and for the en-
largement of the personnel of the
lower Federal courts to improve the
service those tribunals render.
With the announcement of Mr..
Cummings resignation, speculation
naturally turns to his successor. So
licitor General Robert H. Jackson,
who has been considered member
of the more extreme wing of the New
Deal, figures prominently among
those mentioned for the post. Mr..
Jackson has been most active in the
recurrent administration attacks on
big business" and his selection for
the post would be interpreted as a
move toward strengthening the New
Deal fences during the next two
years, if not after 1910. It is a safe
prediction, however, that Mr.. Jack
sons advancement would be- viewed
with concern in the business world.
