nishes another medium by which
the oncoming fray can be judged.
Eastern topped the Virginians,
11-3, while the Wilsonites emerged
on the short end of an 8-to-5 count
in their game with the AleXan-
drianS.
Westerns mystifying forces
would cause any prognosticator to
scratch his head in perplexity, in
asmuch as the Raiders look very
strong potentially, as was evil
denced by their lop-sided victory
over Mckinley Tech, IA. How
ever, just as they seemed to be
justifying all the advance rating,
along comes Blair to nose out a
victory in the GeorgetownerS' own
domain.
Nevertheless, if for no other
reason than the tremendous ex-
perience advantage, Coach Cliff

to win, although ROLAND j. Lund's

merits together enough recently
to top Bethesda Chevy Chase, will

OFFICIAL RACE STOCK MARKET
F0RDECLINES after
TODAY AT 'GRAW STEADY OPENING
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 28 QN.S0.
The stock market weakened today
after yesterdays firmness. Prices
were steady at the opening after
which the list gave way to a drib-
BILE of selling. Trading continued
at the low rate of recent sessions.
Steel shares suffered losses run
ming to more than a point after q
steady opening. A restricting in
fluence was the desire to await
the Bethlehem Steel Corp. report
after the close Of the market to-
day.
AUTOS GIVE GROUND
The auto section gave ground.
ChrySler lost over point and
General Motors nearly point.
The latter'S small ear nings
brought some scattered selling.
Some of the blue chips gave
ground easily. Losses included
over 2 in Westinghouse, more than
3 in Eastman Kodak, 2 points and
more each in Case Threshing, Lig-
gett & Myers B and American
Can, and nearly 2 in Johns Man
Vile.
Du Pont started a point higher
in the chemicals and then lost as
much. The rest Of the group
weakened also.
RAILS SAG
The rails displayed a tendency
to sag, with Atchison and Penn
sylvania under pressure. AviationS
slipped on profittaking after their
recent uptrend. Possibilities Of
large foreign military orders were
offset by difficulties Of making de-
liverieS.

NEEDS TUNING UP

Financial independence no doubt
has inStilled Ouimet with the urge
to swing his clubs again. For
years, while he put his business
affairs ahead of pleasure, he
played the game only desultorily,
with only half his heart in it. It's
too bad the prompting comes 20
late in life, although a swing
like his, smooth and thoroughly
grooved, needs to be only tuned
up properly to make it as effectual
as ever it was.
Gene Sarazen's severe criticism
of the P. G. A. for scheduling its
championship in conflict with the
British Open, which he seems to
think is morn important, is
scarcely justified when the solid
bookings Corcoran has made are
carefully considered. From early
May well into September there is
hardly week without a lucrative
lure.

OUIMET IS EAGER
TO SWING CLUBS
in WALKER PLAY
BY LESTER RICE


NEW YORK, April % QN.S).
Do not be surprised, neighbors Of
Bunkerville, if Francis Ouimet
wins the British amateur cham
pionship in the jubilant month OF
June.
Certainly it would be an appro-
pirate way for the beloved Bosto-
nian to commemorate the twenty
fifth anniversary of his victory
over the celebrated BritonS, Var
don and Ray.
Johnny Bull would thoroughly
appreciate such a reminder of
that stimulating occasion at
Brookline in 1918 when the gawky
19-yearold graduated caddy beat
this pair of invincibles in the
playoff for the National Open
championship.
Now the same Ouimet at A,
quiet, friendly, Self-contained gen.
tleman of affairs with money in
the bank, is about to make an
other trip to England and he is
refreshingly eager to stride up
the gangplank.
TENTH EXCURSION
at has been many years since
1 felt such keen desire to play
golf" Francis told his conf
dant, Frank CorcOran, head of
the p. G. A. Tournament Bu-
reau, who repeated the words to
me. Mind you, this is my
tenth excursion with Walker
Cup team the hasn't missed
One) and 1 feel like a kid re-
leased from school with a whole
summer holiday ahead"
Do not be surprised either, neigh
bors, if Francis should shed his
passive role of non-playing Walker
Cup captain of the Americans and
thrust himself into the melee at
st. Andrews.
Beside himself only eight men
are going over this time and If
one of the boys should lose his
stride or fail to adapt himself to
British conditions, the old .Bosto-
nian is likely to appoint himself
Stand-in.

Cypress Gardens,
Near Charleston,

OHA
CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. TO-
Cypress Gardens of historic Dean
Hall Plantation near Charleston,
are now open for the season lasting
until May /.
Although the azalea bloom at this
time of year is premature and some
what dependent upon continued
mild weather, early visitors to Cy-
press Gardens this season find an
abundance of Azalea Magnifica, the
large variegated whites. and the
pink Azalea Vitarta Fortuni. These
azaleas will of course bloom again
in the spring along with many
other varieties. Already in great
beauty are the early varieties of
Camellias Japonica, single and dou-
BILE, which reach their height in late
December and January. The dainty
paper white Narcissi also are show
ing well, Offering a charming con-
trast to the red foliage and berries
of the Nandina and other plants
and trees. Throughout the gardens
is the delicate fragrance of sweet
olive, to the botanist Osmanthus
Fragrans, which blooms every
month.
A natural wonder, the gardens
are some three hundred acres in
extent and the setting is natural
fresh water lake of still black water.
From the lake rises great cypress
forest. The waters of the lake have
been stained ebony black by the
tannic acid of the bark and roots
of the cypress trees and form per-
feet mirror. The trees themselves
are draped in graceful swaying
Spanish moss.
