HAAS GOLF liked
| BY BRITISH CHAMP
Best Swinger Among Yanks,
Ayers Cotton-Goodman
Still Favorite.
BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

TROON, Scotland. May 25.-Henry
Cotton, British open champion, today
picked Freddie Haas Of New Orleans
as the finest swinger on the United
States Walker Cup team, as the Louisi-
ana youngster became fourth favorite
to win the British amateur golf title.
HE certainly is the most orthodox
swinger OF the lot," Henry said. land
down in that lower bracket he may 60
far"
Evidently Cotton was not the only
one thinking thus, for Haas moved up
back of Omaha Johnny Goodman, the
American amateur champion; c. Ross
(Sandy) Somerville of Canada and
Charley Yates Of Atlanta in the list Of
favorites when the field of SO survivors
started out this morning to finish the
second round and play all Of the third.
Goodman Now Is 1872.
Goodman. who started as favorite at
8 to /. now Is quoted at Is to despite
a slack performance in downing Ray
Rillows, 4 and yesterday. This let
down should not be taken too seriously,
however. since Johnny has the pro-
fessional tendency to put out no more
than is necessary.
Yates, who eliminated Johnny
Fischer Of Cincinnati in a sensational
19-hole match, started the day sharing
the second favorite's role with Somer-
vile. The Canadian seems to get bet
ter every day.
Haas, built vaguely like a driving
iron, is so slim he has trouble standing
steady in the seaside gale. But If the
weather moderates he will take some
beating.
Big IL" Proves Puzzle.
He Is subject of much discussion
because of the huge Louisiana State
varsity IL" which adorns his sweater
That letter. in this country, is given
to people learning to drive automobiles,
but judging from his game Haas is no
learner. The Scots can't figure it out
Critics also like Chuck Kocsis of De-
troit and think he may beat Good
man tomorrow If they survive today's
third-round matches in which Kocsis
plays John S. Montgomerie and Good
man faces Albert w. Briscoe.
The critics are not so impressed,
however, by Billows and Ward, and
despite his victory over Fischer. they
are not particularly fond Of Yates.

UBFOR BISCUIT
Races Admiral in Suburban
Handicap-Ridd|e Horse
Has Stiff Schedule.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,

NEW YORK. May 25.-Now that his
match race with Seabiscuit has been
Cancelled, War Admiral will resume
the schedule originally mapped out
and hook up with Pompoon, his s.
year-old rival of 1887, in the classic
Suburban Handicap at Belmont Park
Saturday.
The $4,000 Suburban may not have
the public appeal Of the $l00, 900 War
Admiral duel. which was
called off yesterday after Charles S.
Howard, California owner of the Bis
cult, reported his colt in no condition
to run Monday, but it's likely to be
just as good horse race.
Several other top-notch handicap
performers will be in the race but the
interest will be in the Admiral and
Pompoon-the pair that finished one,
two. respectively. in the Kentucky
Derby and Preakness last year. Pom
poon, owned by j. H. Louchheim of
Philadelphia, drew the line fine in the
been drawn against the son of Man
O. War from Samuel D. Riddles stable
since he started on his unbeaten
parade last year.
Weights Favor Pompoon.
The distance Of IA miles, the same
as for the Cancelled match race. may
be more to the liking of War Admiral
but the weights favor Pompoon. The
Admiral has been allotted top weight
Of 1872 pounds and Pompoon, 128.
Both are in top form. While pre-
pairing for the match race, War Ad-
miral twice worked the distance in un-
der 2:O8 Pompoon, in his last start,
won the mile and three -sixteenths Of
the Dixie Handicap at Pimlico in
track equaling time Of l:564s.
Following the suburban, War Ad-
miral will be pointed for the mile and
one-eighth of the $4,000 Brooklyn
Handicap at Aqueduct, June Is, with
Stagehand, conqueror of Seabiscut in
the Santa Anita Handicap, as one of
his propable opponents. Four days
later, the Riddle star is scheduled for
the s50,000 Massachusetts, Handicap
at Suffolk Downs. It's heavy cam
paign, but Trainer George Conway be-
lieves the colt is equal to it.
Long Rest for Biscuit.
Although clockers and horsemen had
been none too well impressed by Sea-
biscuits workouts since his arrival
from the West Coast, the cancellation
of the race came as a surprise. Howard
said his horse had showed signs of
lameness for several days. and yester-
day morning it became apparent an
other workout might harm him per-
manently.
Seabiscuit, in almost constant train
ing since Howard purchased him from
the Wheatley Stable for $4,000 in 1896,
will get a long rest. There is some
talk of rematching the pair for Bel
mont Parks fall meeting, but that
largely depends on whether the Biscuit

Rod and Stream

Besides once Congress got around
to legislating about striped bass In
District waters 1t probably would close
the fishing altogether, because the
fish are here to spawn and it is the
practice all over the country to have
fishing closed during spawning sea-
son. No fishing during spawning sea-
son here sounds fine in theory, but
for all practical purposes 1t would
mean the end of fishing, and no one
wants that.
The thing to do Is to set our own
arbitrary size and creel limits, and
then abide by them.
Spread Catches Over Years.
When angling laws are made money
Is needed to enforce them, and that
means a license fee. We don't want
that, nor would it be worth while for
our small stretch of water. The river
pollution Is being cleared up through
the efforts Of the Izaak Walton
League, the Health Department, the
yacht clubs and other organizations,
and this could mean the return OF
better fishing If we allowed those we
now have to grow larger and spawn
once or twice before being captured.
So don't be fish hog, taking
them all at once, but spread
your catches over the years,
taking few each time.
The regular meeting Of the Falls
Church (VaD Chapter of the Izaak
Walton League will he held tomorrow
night at o'clock in Masonic Hall,

GOPHER GOLF TEAM -,

Richardson of Northwestern Gets
Brilliant 305 to Retain
Individual Title.

MINNEAPOLIS, May rs. North
western University had to be content
with the individual Western Confer
ence golf championship today as the
team title, defended by the Evanston
school, passed to the University Of
Minnesota for the first time since
1929.
Loss Of the team championship was
no fault Of Northwesterns Sam Rich
ardson, however. as he cracked out q
brilliant 305 for the 70 holes to re-
tain his individual crown after over
coming a three-stroke deficit on the
final 49,
Minnesota's four-man team score
was 1885, 5 under Northwestern's
Michigan was third with 1854 and
Illinois fourth with 1882. Trailing
were Ohio State, 1894; Wisconsin,

Anglers in District of Columbia
waters happily are able to fish with
few restrictions. The only licenses
required are for the Tidal Basin and
Dalecarlia Reservoir, and these are
free, with the only size and creel
limits on black bass, crappie and
Dream, which species also enjoy a
closed season from March 81 to
May 80.
Other than that we can do as we
please, catch and keep as many as
we want Of any size, disregarding, II
we wish, the moral obligation to our
fellow anglers and those who Will
come after us.
So what happens? Fishermen
bring in as many rs so perch,
2 and inches long, and rock
fish no larger than medium
size perch, which as you all
know, are very small things,
indeed.
Your correspondent was fishing
Sunday in the Potomac, catching and
releasing half dozen and inch
rock which seemed to be the only
thing biting in our section of the
river. On both sides of us. however,
these fish were being kept.
Some Fish Have DISAPPEARED.
1t is fun to recall the good old days
when stripers Of 10, IS and even 20
pounds were not unusual, but one Of
five pounds today is shown proudly
all over the city. And if we continue
to keep every small fish that takes
our hook the rockfish and the perch
will disappear from our waters as
have the sturgeon.
There ought TO be a law" Is
an easy thing to say, but .
difficult thing to get.

Land and they had the Bibles. Now
the natives have the Bibles and the
missionaries have the land.
You know too well the white
mans treatment of the Indians.
The huge sugar trusts and the
pineapple mOnopOlies exploited the
natives in the same manner. l
should say in all fairness that the
early Hawaiians didn't seem to
care much for civilization such as
we know it, and are happiest with
their music and their beautiful
dances and would rather not both
er with all the hate and hurt we
seem to feel is so necessary in our
sO-called civilization. The white
man has to have someone to hate,
so in Hawaii it's the japanese.
When he talks to you about them
he refers to them as Dam Japs."
But he always talks in whispers,
for the japanese are the cleverest
race on earth.
In Germany Hitler forces his ma
ton to be race conscious with the
tip of his sword. The japanese
need no leadership. They stick to-
gether automatically. They mi
grated there from the Orient and
worked for zoe a day until they
learned their way around. But
soon they formed their own cor
porations upon a gentleman's
agreement and by not signing any
papers of Incorporation they save
thousands of dollars of taxes which
white firms have to pay. The white
man claims that they will work for
you, learn your business and then
undersel you to your own custom
ers. But the white man forgets
how he laughed up his sleeve when
he felt he was getting rich off of
their cheap labor.
1t would be the grandest lesson
imaginable for the 250,OOO Negroes
in Chicago to see what the 10000
Japs in Honolulu have acquired in
far less than the seventy-three
years we have been free in this
country. So say to my own race
put your shoulders together
somehow and acquire some indie
pendent wealth, some race pride,
some industries, some elected Off
GERS in our government, and the
very man who pretends to hate you
so much will afford you more re-
spect than you have ever dreamed
Of.

When and whence came the
Hawaiians Nobody knows. Some
writer's claim them to be the lost
tribes of Israel, for when the Is
lands were discovered by Captain
Cook more than a hundred years
ago, he found them practicing cir
cumcision as did the Jews, and they
had many similar religious GUS
toms. The Tahitians, Samoans,
Marois and Hawaiians are so near
ly alike in physical appearance,
religious practices and affinities of
language, that it is generally be-
heved they migrated there about
the same time. An exhaustive
study of the early civilization and
culture of the ancient Hawaiians
shows very conclusively that any
literature showing them to have
been barbarous and lecherous saw
ages, is another example of the
prejudiees of the early bigoted
white writers, who as soon as they
saw any dark skinned people any
where on earth, grabbed their pens
and scrolls and wrote in capital
letters SAVAGES.

Howdy Folks:

Easter being only a few days off
/ won't take too much of your
time from your extensive prepare
tions of dyeing eggs and trimming
hats. Easter always creates an ex-
element and particularly this year
to that st. Paul coed who just
found out that her b. f. has pur-
chased a complete spring outfit,
with green the outstanding color
scheme, while she, mind you, has
bought bright peacock blue suit
with old rose accessories. She had
planned to strut into church Sun
day with her love-light, intending
to make all the girls green with
envy. Her case is what to do,
cause their outfits clash terrifcal-
ly. lin the first place, I'd say that
since she had the original idea in
mind to attract attention she might
as well go on, for Pm sure they
will look too springy for words
and create quite a sensation). So
watch out for them, kids. Another
predicament of one of our Mime
apolis popular couples is this: The
boy in this case has a dandy job
and has bought everything new for
Easter, from head to toe, and his
one and only is rawther needy
these days, and has not one thing
new to wear. The problem is what
shall she do, for he wants to go
to church and promenade the ave-
nue. and she wants to stay at home
and watch the crowds go by until
dusk, so that her appearance will
not be noticed. (What would you
do?) imagine she will do the
same thing, too. So, you see, Eas-
ter has its problems. 1t is so much
easier to get the true meaning of
the occasion when one has on a
new outfit.

Easter comes like all seasons once year.
For US to relinquish stubborn fear
That good is not all in vain,
But right here for us to gain.
If we would have faith like Jesus did
Our spiritual light would not be hid,
Under the bushel of greedy unhappness,
Where only despair greets quest.
Love for God means we have love for man,
But when suddenly forget, it spo1s the plan
For harmony in Gods realm reigns supreme,
If only remember to not make it a dream.
Jesus mission here on EARTH
Was to show how prepare for our heavenly berth
By living the correct life this plane,
We would be ready to accept spiritual gain
Admonitions have received
But if we don't pay any heed,
Then crown We'll not gain,
For efforts here earth will have been in vain.

would be as out of place back in
the Orient as we would be back in

May / say in conclusion that you
must plan to visit these Islands ?
If your stay is to be short you
must pay no attention to the
mechanisms Of government, of
monopolies and racial peculiarities,
but you must breathe deeply of the
freedom and romance Of the land.
Where else on earth will you find
