Taft Held Many Positions

William Howard Taft had to ask
the people for their vote only once
before he was elected President de-
spite the public positions he held.
Among his positions were assistant
prosecutor, collector of internal rev.

court, United States solicitor gener-
al, judge Of the sixth federal Circuit
Court Of Appeals, chairman of the
Philippine Islands commission, Sec
rotary of war in Theodore Roose-

Cuba, president and finally chief
justice Of the Supreme court. And
the only election he ever faced, be-
sides that for the presidency, was
for judge Of the Superior court of

Floating Steel

A piece of solid iron or steel will
sink in water. Shaped into a vessel
or container that will bold a large
amount Of air, it will float on wa
ter, just like our great iron ships.
Though the steel in the ship is much
heavier than the water, it Is the
weight of the ship as a whole that
counts. Provided that this weight,
with its cargo and large air space,
is less than the weight of an equal
volume Of water, the ship will float.

lose ground. Relations in the
South among the whites of recent
generations are being based upon
economic efficiency. The Negro
must look to himself as his great
est asset in making his way in this
life. He must make himself just
as good a citizen as the man who
lives next door. He must keep his
home just as desirable looking as
that of any other in the commu-
nifty. He must do his work as sat
isfactorily as his competitor.
What Do You Stand For
The question now is not whether
you are the descendant of an old
black nanny talking to the great
grandson of Marse Henry. But
what do you stand for? What can
you do? Can you do one thing
better than anybody else? Can you
sing song more beautifully than
others thus engaged? Can you
write a poem to move mems
minds? Can you paint a picture
which deepens ones sense of the
beautiful? Can you champion a
social need and supply it with sane
leadership? Can you develop an
enterprise to enrich your commu-
nifty? Can you be trusted with the
public confidence? If one does not
count in some of these respects the
world will pass him by as I'M
worthy and leave him and his
troubles to perish together.

year-old tennis stylist from Chicago,

Riggs said he is playing better than
ever" and hoped to carry off the
tournament title for the second straight
year.
Has Two Hot Rivals.
Although Don Bulge is conceded the
number spot on the defending cup
forces. Riggs and two other players in
this tournament-Frankie Parker and
Bitsy Grant-have their eyes on the
second singles place. Riggs outranks
the others nationally. but the choice
probab bly, will be made on the showing
Of the players here and in grass
court tournaments to follow at South
ampton, Rye and Newport.
Il haven't mapped out any definite
campaign to win place on the Davis
Cup team" said Riggs, but. Of course,
that is the greatest ambition of my
life"
Parker, seeded behind him. had little
trouble beating young Carleton Rood
in straight sets. While Riggs was
paired today with Gerard Podesta,
captain-elect of the Princeton Varsity,
Parker drew sitter competition in 2l-
year-old Frank Guernsey, national
intercollegiate titleholder.
Guernsey Eager for Match.
Guernsey. 5-foot-4 dynamo, whose
game has been compared with that of
Grant, who is 2 inches shorter, has

On such a course did little Andy

pro and amateur golfers in Mary

outstripped the finest field ever to

his winning streak. And particularly
to Henry Picard. the lean, lapky

Picard Taught Him.
II played a lot with Henry three

.NOMONEY IN GOLF
|. FOR BO0KMAKERS
Just Peanuts as Betting
Proposition, Says Doyle
After P. G. A. Fiasco.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Colt" said Jack Doyle, lis peanuts.
I don't think III try it any more"
Jack Doyle, in case you don't know
Is the more or less of1cial maker Of
odds on any gambling proposition
along Broadway, which means in the
East. The middle-sized, lean-faced
man behind the thick glasses, who will
take 'em and lay 'em when he can get
what they call a balanced book" is
convinced after couple Of whirls at
pari-mutuel betting on golf matches
that all the gambling on golf could be
put into a hat, shaken up carefully
and when tossed out won't compare
with the mutuel take" on the third
race at Marlboro. They just don't
bet on golf.
Poor Game for Pro Betting.
Doyle wore a dapper looking pair
Of broadcloth pants-thin from sitting
around on hard benches outside and
inside the clubhouse at Shawnee look
ing for bets on the P. G. A. cham
pionship. All over the course and
around the honey Buckwood Inn he
had posted signs reading Jack Doyle,
Mutuel Betting" but they didn't do
much good.
Its peanut money" said Jack. "It's
hardly worth fooling with" Never
theless. the locker boy at Shawnee
had $1,000 to bet for some other
gink on Snead at to /. He got
it down, too, but Jack didn't lay
such ODDS.
The entire history Of organized bet
ting on golf matches Is rather
sad affair. Plenty Of money is won
and lost-in friendly wagers on golf,
but as an organized proposition, like
the iron men" at the racetracks of
Maryland or the legalized oral betting
at the New York racetracks. it is
strictly small-thme stun. Doyle didn't
say what his volume was at Shawnee,
but he probably made just about
enough dough to pay his board bill.
Trouble Seen in Big Wagers.
Around every golf tournament you'll
find a few guys who like to take
flyer on any match or tournament,
but they usually have trouble get
ting their bets down If they are Of
any size. Golf isn't game that in
its present stage Of development lends
itself to big-time gambling. And II
the betting did 60 big it might lead
to trouble of sinister sort.
Can you imagine. for instance. the
situation II 40 or SO grand had been
poured in on Snead at 2 to l, and
every time Runyan came up to his
ball in the fairway 1t lay in . heel
print; perfectly innocent, Of course?
1t has been done before.
And golf galleries, while they aren't
allowed to wander anywhere, can
stomp an over the course almost at
will. It would be simple to step on
the ball Of q contender, or kick It
into . bunker.
