MOUNT pleasant GOLF
COURSE, Baltimore, July 25.-Two
schoolboys from Seattle and At
lanta led the field into the second
qualifying round of the national
public links golf championship that
was to carve the list of lit entrants
down to the championship round of
64 by dusk tonight.
Eighteen-year-old Gerry Bert, jr.,
206-pound Pacific Northwest Adonis,
banged out a subpar 10 yesterday on
the 6,885-yard layout, despite trop-
Cal heat and humidity that had the
pack gasping like beached fish, can
yon-deep traps and narrow fairways
lined with rough tangled like her
mltS whiSkers.
A stroke behind, and playing bril-
liantly, was lanky Luke Barnes, 10,
of Atlanta, the only other contest
ant to crack par on this stroke-eat-
ing, woe-streWn links. Bert's 10,
compact of three brides, one buz-
zard that descended on his card
when he topped No wood and IA
pars. set a new competitive record
for the heightened course.
Four Equal Par Figures.
-Four of the field managed to
equal par figures. They were Mike
Gestone, 35-year-old Montclair, N.
j., postman; Don Erickson, Los An
geles, Ralph A. Reed, Lincoln, Nebr.,
and Arthur Armstrong, who came
5000 miles from Hawaii for the pay
aS-you-play classic.
Armstrong, with an oil-smooth
swing and no nerves, was one of the
favorites to go to the semi finals. at
least. He played like golflng robot
set for unerring par production in
his round today.

MOUNT PLEASANT GOLF
COURSE, Baltimore, July 25.-Ar-
rayed in all the manners of the best
of the Chesterfelds of the swanky
country clubs, public links golfers of
the land are going sissy nowadays.
If you compare them with the
rootin' -tootin' sons of guns who
played in the first few public links
national championships, the present
crop of par busters, who are taking
the tough Mount Pleasant course
apart as casually as Aunt Mandy at
tacks a chicken leg, are as nice a
bunch of boys as you could find at
dear old Piping Hollow in the sea-
sons most exclusive invitation golf

like flock of juveniles on the loose
are all over. These boys-all 1T
of them, even the gray-haired ones
have all the golf manners and
mannerisms of your best member of
your best country club.
And they are better golfers. You
don't find them tossing clubs around
when they miss shot, or cussing
the course any more. AS an ex-
citing show the public links cham
pionship is like any other golf tour
nament. 1t didn't used to be so, but
it is now.
Maybe they play better golf be-
cause they don't pop off and let their
tempers flare, but with that same
lack of temperament some of the
fun has gone out of the tournament.
No longer is it the scrappy, fighting
affair it used to be. AS Unconditional
as flock of crack professionals,
they play very much like the top
pros. How different it is from the
early days when the public links
tourney was tough show.
Locals on Edge of Abyss.
Over the best golf course on which
the public links championship has
been played in many years, Wash
ington's Harding Cup team has only

the team championship, and only

qualifying round to tie for seventh
place. He should qualify in breeze.
but you can't say the same for slim
Jim Gipe and slender Bob Morris,
his teammates from the Capital.
Gipe took 80 blows in the first medal
round and needed an exceptional
finishing round today to qualify.
The same goes for Morris, who
helped himself to a neat but not
gaudy 81, far too high to. give him
more than fighting chance.
General consensus around Mount
Pleasant is that it will take 1855 or
better to qualify, which is about
right. Par for the course is 72 and
63 of the boys had II or better
yesterday.
Morris Wins Decision.
Bob Morris got into little trou-

Association, but it quickly was
ironed out. Bob played in the sec

out and played and didn't do so well
Olveri had quite round of golf
He had eight pars and a birdie or
the first nine, the bird coming from
l0-foot putt at the eighth hole
He dropped back to level par with
6 on the par 10th, got another
bird on the 18th and came to the
17th one under. He missed the
green at the tough 17th-a one
shotter-and took a 4, and ther

shots today and still qualify, but the
other boys have to lay EN- in the

Kid of Is Is Star.
A tall, gawky-looking lad of 1s

round with a under par 70, which
might have been a SO had his putt

Manchester Lane Site
For School Protested

Proposed transfer of the Peter
Pan School. a private institution
for young children, from its present
location at 1904 Park road NV. to
1915 Manchester lane NV, was
debated today at a public hearing
before he Board of Zoning Adjust
ment.
The case arose over an appeal by
Raymond K. Espey and Franklin w.
Harper for permission to use the
Manchester lane property as an ed
ucational institution. United States
Attorney David A. Pine was listed
among protestants.
Arguments in favor of the pro-
posal were led by Ringgold Hart and
the opposition was under the direc-
ton of Francis Hill. The opponents
insisted the permission should not
be granted because the builder of
the house, when she was given a
permit some years ago, gave the
District a letter declaring the prop
erty would be used only as a private
residence.
Most OF the morning was devoted
to this case. The board announced
it would defer decision.
The board also considered an ap-
peal by Alice Proctor for permission
to change non-conforming use
from a grocery store to diner
kitchen at 1881 P street NV, and
an appeal by Skyland Apartments,

Chairman Lea Speaks
On Transportation

Representative Clarence r. Lea
Of California, chairman of the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, told members of
the Federal Transportation Associa-
ton last night that all sections of
the country must be fairly and
equitably dealt with in transporta-
ton matters.
Speaking at the associations reg
ular meeting. Mr.. Lea said legisla-
ton must also deal fairly and
equally with all modes of transpor-
tation and that the country 'is 60
ing to look to the Interstate Com
merce Commission within the next
few years for greater results than
ever before"
The representative, expressing
doubt that problems of carriers
would be solved even If they get the
legislation they think they should
have, urged the desirability of each
form of transportation where it is
most economical and can render
the best service to the public.
