have plenty of opposition Saturday

fort to repeat his 1887 triumph in
the Dunboyne Challenge Cup, fea-
ture event of the third annual Po-
tomac Hunt point-to-point races.
Although favored to win, Mr..
Semmes, who also finished second
last year, on his clever mare, Charm,

defeat the eight or 10 others who
are ready to compete over the Smile,

members of the Hunt, is one of three
scheduled for the weekend card, the
other two being pair race, at least
one OF which must be a lady rider,
and an open-for-all contest.
Each race will be over the same
course, which is considered one of
the finest in the East, both from the
riders and spectators point of view.
Unlike most courses, this one is laid
out in figure "8" fashion and will
allow the fans to see practically the
entire running.

another possible starter.

CORAL GABLES, Fla, March O.
That old come from -behinder, Ralph
Guldahl, is going a-gunning for his
third consecutive National Open
championship with world of con-
fidence and an improved putting
touch.
Guldahl already had the conf
dence but he found his touch in the

ment which he won with Sam Snead
In shell-shocking 7-and-6 victory
over Horton Smith and Paul Runyan

II never putted like that in the

have an advantage in the open any,
way, since 1t calls for straight hitting
of the tee. and If can keep that
putting touch 1 see no reason why
I shouldn't repeat again."
Ralph is at his peak now and if
his game should lose some of its
polish he hopes and expects to re-
gain it before the open June $40
at Philadelphia.
Rarely has any one seen a putting
display to equal the one Guldahl
turned on in the four-ball finals.
He knocked the ball in from all over
the carpets.
He and Snead had their hands
full in the morning round, despite
Ralph's great green work. The
match was all square at noon and
then Guldahl turned on the steam.
He played the next nine holes in
just 80 strokes, S under par, and
Snead helped him with an eagle and
a birdie as they won six holes and
sewed up the match.

one OF the roads and set up beside
the stream with the nuzzle point
cd across it.
1.-THE reason for aiming the busi-
ness end of the gun across the
stream was so that no tell-tale blast
marks would show up on an aerial
picture.
Branches were placed on a fish
net above the field piece to screen
it from the air. Members Of the
gun crew were instructed to wade
up the stream to the road and then
proceed to their quarters a short
distance away. A wheat field be-
tween the woods at the edge Of the
stream and one Of the roads were
not to be used under any circum-
stances.
Gun Evaded Germans
This gun remained In position
for months, and 1t was so effective
that the Germans sent planes over
every day to photograph the sector.
They knew there was a large gun
there that was causing them plen-
ty Of trouble, but they couldn't find
it.
Finally, one cold night several of
+. the men decided they may as well
cross the wheat field instead of
walking in the stream. The next
| morning when the German planes
came over again and photographed
the sector, white marks showed up
in their prints of the wheat field
tracks made by the men who walk
ed across it-and several lines were
shown converging on the spot where
the gun was located. In a few
hours, the German artillery opened
