That this should elicit two

be attributed to disgruntled,
sensitive consciences.
Neither Of these two critics
are well-informed on their his

claim they have to correctness
Is their statements that Roger
Williams Is now remembered as
the pioneer of religious toler-
ance.
They both labor under the
delusion that Roger Williams

In 1881 Roger Williams

In January, 1885, an attempt

Such a showdown probably won't come. Most of US

Hollywood, April 5.-(UP)-There will be no Max Baer-Max Schmel- ing heavyweight title fight this Sep- tember, or at any other time. The authority for this statement is Baer.
 q haven't any hope of fighting Schmeling again." Baer said today. Hell fight Joe Louis for the title, but even if he wins he won't have any part of September bout. He'll go to Germany with the champion ship, and personally I don't think he'll ever bring it back.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs is thinking of forcing Schmeling to put up substantial sum as guarantee he'll fight a return bout. Well, money doesn't mean much to Schmeling now, but the title does. He thinks he's taken quite a showing around, and that will be his way of getting even."

ANNOUNCEMENT COMING AT GAL.
 MEET TONIGHT.
Election Not Probable Yet; CosgrOve Hearts Coach,
 Melvin for OverlOOks?

Considerable doubt that managers of prospective teams of the City Amateur league will go through with an election of officers tonlghG was expressed this morning with the result that the session, scheduled for 8 o. m. at the central YMCA probably will develop into nothing more than "get acquainted" meet ing, the feature of which will be President Edward Fitzpatrick's a1l- nouncement that he will not be candidate for reelection though at the service of the league for any advice or aid that he may be able to give throughout the coming sea- son which will not encraoch too heavily upon his time, particularly on Sundays.
 AS a result, a committee to noml- nate a slate of officers probably will be appointed to report at the next meeting, when election may take place. MT. Fitzpatrick will be pre- vailed upon to serve another term though he is quite determined to devote his summer Sundays to golf and swimming rather than the gold dust of Hamilton park. Bar ring MT. Fitzpatricks reelection, It is probable that the league will go outside it's membership for a new president, though a strong battle looms for other offices, including that of vice-president, secretary and treasurer, the latter post, pending Joe Maloney's feeling in the matter.
 The Overlook Club, headed by Harold Hadley and coached by Gus Metz is expected to put strong team in the league to compete with the Washington Hills. Sacred Hearts, defending champion North End Thomas Club, Tribunes ana Brooklyn A. c.
 Joe Cosgrove, well-known east ender and former Brassco outhelder will divorce his pipe wrenches ana solder long enough to coach the Sacred Heart entry into another championship. Ray Tram, manager for the past two seasons will con- tinue in that capacity and will rep- resent the club at City league ses- sions. while Cosgrove will have charge of the team on the field, and in practices, according to re- port. Harry Melvin, coach of the championship North End Thomas club, and Cliff McHale, prominently identified with the Tommies TOT years. will not be with the club this season. Melvin is reported sought by the new club entry from the overlook A. c. and the Tribunes, with the Overlooks reported having l the inside track.

PICARD TOPPLES GOLF MASTERS TO WIN $1,5OO
Hershey Pro Best al Augusta-Jones, Sara=
 zen Out of Money
BY GENE PLOWDEN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Augusta, Ga., April 5.-(UP)- Henry Picard went home with $1,- 500 prize money today after scor- ing around 70 for four strenuous round in the Fifth Masters Golf tournament.
 Leading by stroke as he went into the stretch yesterday, Picard sWelled his margin to two, for an aggregate of 285, three under par for the 72 holes.
 His round of 72-71-72-70 was too much for Lighthouse Harry Cooper, Chicopee, Mass, and Ralph Gull dahl, Chicago, who finished in a tie for second with 287's. They won $700 each.
 Not So Good
 Bobby Jones, sponsor of the tour nament and the favorite, and Gene Sarazen, former Masters titlist who had been a stroke back of Picard at the three-quarter mark, finished out of the money.
 Jones tied with Harold (Jug) Me- Spaden, Winchester, Mass, for 18th place with 297.
 Closer to the top were Paul Run van, White Plains, N. r., with 288 and Byron Nelson, defending cham pion from Reading, Pa., who posted 290.
 Next came Dudley, home pro, and Felix Serafin, Scranton, Pa., tied at 291 apiece.
 The gallery sensed the outcome when Picard reached the turn in 32 strokes. He required 38 for the return but it was sufficient.
 Picard's triumph boosted him to third place among money earners of the winter links circuit. With $4,112.50 he was below Harry Cooper who received $700 to raise his total to $4,44883, and Johnny Revolta, with $4,39O.83.
 Other Scores
 Jimmy Thompson, Shawnee, Pa. and Dick Metz, Lake Forest, III. had 292's: Jimmy Hines, Great Neck, L. T., Lawson Little, San Francisco, and Victor Ghezzi, Deal N. J., drew 293 apiece.
 Tommy Taller, New York was the low amateur with 298. A 4tt round 80 kept him from finishing in the spotlight.
 Jones entered the last round sever strokes behind the leader as a re- suit of a par average for the sec' ond and third phases, but went III to 75 at the finish.

TODANS SPORTAPARADE. :, MAAYHh1BEBl!
BY HENRY McLEMORE


 United Press Staff Correspondent) Augusta, Ga., April 5-Thomas Dickson Armour, commonly known as the Silver Scot, grem rich off me yesterday.
 Thomas Dickson Armour made me II bets of 50 cents each and col- lected on each one of them. That is a total of $5.50 which is not very important money as currency goes, but is important as an index of how much MT. Armour knows about the psychology of the game of golf.
 I joined MT. Armour on the 18th tee and, as spectators, we followed Henry Picard on his last nine holes in the Masters tournament. Henry led the field by one stroke at this time. Ahead of him by few holes was his only serious rival, Ralph Guldahl. Every time Picard walked to a tee he knew what he had to do.
 Our first bet was on the 18th tee.
 "IIl bet you 50 cents," Armour said, "that Henry will look up on this shot and hook it at least 10 yards to the left of the pin"
 I took it. because golfers of Pi- cards caliber are not supposed to look up and are not supposed to hook a tee shot on this short hole where hooking is the worst thing you could do. He looked up, like the rankest duffer, and hooked it not 15 yards, but 40 yards.
 My boy" Armour said as he took my 50 cents, you're sucker. When the pressure starts getting heavy the head comes up. My, my, my how well know"
 The 18th is a long par five where when you have big tee shot, you play your second to carry the creek that guards the green. Picard had carried it on his second on every earlier round, so felt secure wher he banged one out 260 yards off the tee and I bet Armour another 5( cents that Henry would elect to ge for the pin.
 Picard studied his lie, thought for a moment, then played a foul iron short of the creek.
 "You are still a sucker" Armour said. "That creek looked 400 yard! away to him, and much wider tha the Mississippi river. If he hadn' played safe, personally would have shot him."
 This went on, hole after hole 50 cents at a time. Armour called Picard's shots as accurately as if h. had been Tony Sarg, working tn strings on one of his favorite mar ionettes. He knew whether he woult pitch to the right of the flag or tn left of the flag. He knew when h. would miss a putt and whether h would miss it short and to the left or long to the right.
 After he had done this so ofter sensed the story that I am nov writing. I asked Armour if he wer psychic, or a psychiartist, or a Yog or just plain lucky.
 My boy" he said, giving m change for a five dollar bill. T ar very old man. have been playin golf almost since the golf ball wa stuffed with the feathers of the tea ,, duck. I have often been in just tn position Picard is in right now ? leading the field and knowing jus what he must do to win. Ever , nerve he's got is being sandpapered his hearts huttering, his wrists ar quivering and he has a great desir i, to sit down and smoke cigaret This story cost me five dollars an half, and as I read it back, I won der if it was worth it. I would appreciate If you'd lt me know by carrier pigeon. Be SUI they're banded.
