Thought and Language

In its broadest sense language is
any means of expressing thought,
and this would include the sounds
made by a baby or by a dog, OBJ
serves a writer in the Detroit News.
Only the very simplest of thoughts
can be expressed without words,
though musical composers, mathe-
maticians and others have their own
ways of expressing thought by mu-
sic, figures and letters, etc. Lam
guage had to be evolved in some way
or other. Possibly the language of
the most primitive man consisted
largely of gestures and cries or
grunts. but this is mere speculation.

tungsten, Lamp Filament Wire

The use of tungsten as a lamp
filament wire is based upon certain
properties which make it a metal
of extremes. Outstanding among
these properties are melting point
of 3,4O0 degrees Centigrade, low
vapor pressure, and tensile
strength in the worked condition OF
1000 pounds per square inch. At
one time tungsten was regarded as
a brittle metal, but an expert sue
ceeded in drawing a wire in such a
way as to make it bendable at room
temperature.

i. S. OPEN PLACES
Golf Aces Battling on 81
Courses-29 Are Exempt
From Taking Test.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 31.-Nearly
1900 golfers step out on 81 differ
ent courses throughout the United
States today to play two rounds of
golf.
On the face of it, there's nothing
remarkable about that statement.
But the point is that only about / in
10-to be exact, 14l out of l,194-
has chance to achieve the common
objective of a place in the field for
the national open championship at
the Cherry Hills Club. Denver, June g.
The open this year drew a total
entry of 1928 players, third largest
in tournament history. OF these, 30
are exempt from the sectional quail
flying tests today. The few favored
include the home club pro, Harold
S. Long, and those who finished among
the low 80 in last years open.
Denver Tops Entry List.
With the tournament being played
at Denver for the first time, the West
is more strongly represented than ever
before in the 42-year history of the
open. There are 13 qualifying dis
tricts west of the Mississippi this year,
with 500 players seeking the SO places
Denver, turning out in force to
celebrate the event, has the largest
single entry list, with a total of 1877
players due to battle for 13 places
over two Denver courses. Chicago has
l26 entries. and because the average
quality of the field is somewhat higher,
16 places available. In New York's
metropolitan district rs players are
seeking 10 places. Los Angeles is
third on the list, with ia entries
and 13 places.
Many Stars in Trials.
While most of the outstanding tour
nament sharpshooters are on the ex-
empt list, surprising number of WELL
known players have to take their
chances with the rest. The metropol-
tan field, for example, includes Craig
Wood. Ben Hogan, Willie Macfarlane,
Frank Moore. Jess Sweetser, Tommy
Taller. and four Turnesas. Joe Mike,
Phil and Doug. At Chicago Horton

A Commute ball player, Abbitt
bore the brunt of Elon's offense
throughout his collegiate career. Be-
sides punting and passing, he was the
Christians chief ball-carrier, a slash

out or inside of the tackles, and,
when needed, could crack the center.
Against V. M. l. last fall he almost
single-handed brought victory to his
team in one of the seasons upsets.
According to George P. Marshall,
Redskins owner, the big southpaw
is the most promising prospect to join
his club since Cliff Battles made the
jump from West Virginia Wesleyan
to pro stardom, seven years ago. In
fact, said Mr.. Marshall today, Abbitt

Record Crowd Sees Mats, AS.
Before the largest Philadelphia
crowd in recent seasons, 35,724 spec
tators, the Senators capitalized on the
wildness of Almon williams in the
first inning of yesterdays opener to
score six runs. Four bases on balls,
singles by Buddy Lewis and Weaver,
and triple by Melo Almada did the
damage
Weaver, usually a good cold-weather
pitcher, couldn't get the AS out in
The first inning. He pitched singles
to Werber and Hayes, triple to Moses,
and Rookie Sam Chapman hit a
home run to account for four runs.
The first inning and Appleton was
the whole story of the first game.
Appleton had one of his good days
and the AS were helpless against him
as he worked eight scoreless innings
and famed six hitters. Lewis, with
four hits in six times at bat, two runs
scored and two more runs batted
across, was the leader of Washington's
nine-hit attack.
Big Inning Licks Senators.
In the nightcap the AS scored in
the first inning when Dick Seibert
singled with one down and Earl
Brucker scored him with a long
double after two were out. Chase
braced in the next two innings. but
In the fourth the AS batted around
and came up with the six runs that
clinched the verdict.
Chase dug his own grave by walking
johnson and Chapman, the first two
hitters. Still, Ken might have Jared
better had zeke Bonura been able to
grab or knock down a couple drives
that skidded past him for base hits.
Between these two hits and four more
bases on balls Chase pitched himself
right out of the ball game and pave
way to Harry Kelley, who was no
bargain, either. Kelley hit the first
batter to face him, Chapman. forcing
across one OF the three runs that were
scored in a similar manner. Twice
Chase walked hitters with the bases
loaded
After this disastrous inning, the
Griffs never were in the game. Cas-
ter, always tough for them, breezed
along and gave up only eight hits.
The only time the Mats scored was
in the seventh, which Angelo Guiliani
opened with a walk. Tony took sec

The horse is Pasch. H. E. Morriss'

The men are Sir Abe Bailey legless,
73-year-old South African sportsman

well-liked Pound Foolish and Cave

Desperately i'll 10 months ago, Sir

In spite of this, he sailed for South

Before he completely recovered from

private box tomorrow.
In an adjoining box will be Lord
Astor, hoping to break his Derby jinx.
Five times his horses have finished
second, but he never has had a win
ner, and if there's any sentiment left
after Sir Abe gets his just share, it
will go to Lord Astor
In the market, however, there was
very little sentiment for anything
except Pasch. The son of Blandford
has dominated the field ever since he
won the 1000 guineas April 81.

Pasch's trainer, Fred Darling. whose
great-grandfather rode a Derby VIM

whose father Sam Darling, had one
