The gent who wins the national
public links championship next week
at Baltimore's Mount Pleasant golf
course is going to be a good golfer
with wood and iron. But he's also
going to be something else. He is
going to be one of the best men with
a putter playing on any golf course
in the land.
When they begin talking about
long approach puts, and laying stiff
to the pin an approach wallop that
may be IS yards in length (even
though on the green they have
barely started talking about the size
OF those greens. The fellow who
wins that tournament next week is
going to be wizard with the putting
blade. Sure he has to be good with
the other clubs, but he must be
somewhat of a magician with the
putter.
Mount Pleasant is unlike any
championship golf course ever have
seen in three decades of knocking
around golf courses and champion
ships. Most layouts where cham
pionships are held are pretty tight
around the greens; that is to get to
the greens you have to play fairly
cagy shot. 1t isn't so at Mount
Pleasant. Most of those greens are
wide open to the second shot, or in
the case of the one-shot holes. are
wide open to the tee shot. It's when
you get on the greens that the real
trouble starts.
Greens In Good Shape.
Gus Hook, the greenskeeper, has
them in magnificent shape, but
even a slick green surface doesn't
neutralize the size of those immense
putting greens. It kinda makes you
wonder how the city of Baltimore
can afford to keep them, when you
consider that cutting putting greens
is all hand work. And hand work
runs into money.
Such greens as the first, the fifth,
the twelfth, the thirteenth and the
eighteenth are more than putting
greens. They are a combination
fairway and putting green all rolled
into one. And the main trick is not
to get on the green. It's to get down

walked over to the box

Others Opinions on Rojoh
Mean Nothino to Phil

One of the last things Ball did In
an official capacity was to appoint
Rogers Hornsby manager Of the
Browns. Other club owners in the
American League didn't like the
idea very much, since Hcrnsby had
been dismissed as manager of the
Cubs. But that didn't make any
difference to Ball.
Il don't care whether they like it
or not" he said. This is my ball
club and Hornsby is my manager,
and If they don't like it they can
lump it,"
1t was a tragedy when Ball died
for him, for the ball club and for
Hornsby. Somehow I have the feel
ing that if he had lived there would
be no talk now, however unfounded
it may be in the light of denials
from ST. Louis, that the Browns are
to be moved.

The
SP'0RTLIGH7
Rumor Insists Browns
Will Quit St. Louis
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

opeCldl COTTtSpOHucHl Va AAc oeoA'
NEW YORK, July 20 (N.A.NA).-
The rumors, although denied, per-
sist: The Browns are going to move
out of St. Louis. This, especially
to old-time fans and others who
look on at baseball, is rather start
ling. Not that there is anything new
in the situation. They have been
talking for a few years now about
moving the Browns out of st. Louis
to Milwaukee or Kansas City or
some other minor league town that
could return better dividends than
have been declared at Sportsman'S
Park.
Still, it is difficult to believe that
the migration of the club is i'm
minent. It is easier-or maybe
pleasanter is the word-to believe
that the Browns are going to remain
in st. Louis, because st. Louis al
ways has been a great baseball town.
In the long stand the Browns have
made at Sportsman's Park they have
had many colorful owners-and
many great ballplayers. Ineradica-
BILE chapters have been written on
that field, which once was was the
Browns own, but which, since the
abandonment of the old Cardinal
Park. has been shared by the Cards.
Great owners, great ballplayers,
great games-they all are in the
book that those who will read may
see. And even in the days of the
Cardinals greatest glory the Browns
always were the favored team. SEN
timentally, if not at the turnstiles.

Phil Boil Most CoIorfuI
Of Brownie Leaders

In all their long history the
Browns never had more colorful
owner than the late Phil Ball. Ball
came into baseball the hard way.
He backed the Federal League club
in ST. Louis and nobody but himself
knew how many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars he poured into that
club, which, along with the league
of which it was part, was fated for
disaster.
There never was even minor
squawk from Ball, however. He
played the game to the bitter end
and wound up with terrific def
cit-and a great love for the game
greater love for it than he had
when he entered it as-from the
standpoint of the owners in the Ma
tional and American Leagues-an
outlaw. When peace finally settled
on the great baseball war that was
waged through 1918 and 1914 he
bought the American League fran
chise and moved into Sportman's
Park.
There he continued to throw his
money into his ball club, with small
hope of profit and no complaint
when profits failed to appear. One
day he and his friend, Harry SIN
clair, master of great racing stable,
got into an argument about the cost
of their hobbies.

Stock Averages
By VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Nervous-
ness lover European war threats
again received the principal blame
for sizable relapse in today's stock
market.
After a slow forenoon, during
which feeble attempts at a rally
failed to follow through, fast but
brief selling furry knocked down
leaders to around points. There
was subsequent return to apathy
and closing quotations were above
their lows in most cases. Transfers
for the five hours approximated
850,000 shares, one of the largest
turnovers in two weeks.
Motors and aircrafts led the ini-
tial tumble, but most other groups
contributed weak spots. On the
whole, rails, steels, coppers, oils and
utilities gave a relatively good ac-
count of themselves
Conditions abroad apparently were
no worse than in the past several
days, but continued German Polish
British tension, brokers said, IN
spired many so-called profession
ais to shelve commitments at the
approach of a week end which, to
say the least, had the possibility of
an explosive transatlantic show
down.
While opinions were expressed in
Wall Street that the latest uproar
abroad might be more of war of
words" than a precursor of real milf
tary conflict, most speculative con-
tingents were dubious at best
That overseas markets were hard
ly as apprehensive as New York was

hem Steel, United States Steel,

Minor declines were registered for
Anaconda, Kennecott. Consolidated
Edison. North American, New York
Central, Pennsylvania, Standard Oil
of New Jersey and Texas Corp.
Comparatively small offerings of
American securities came from
abroad and public liquidation was
thought to have been inconsequen-

The resignation OF Mrs. Frankli

the American Revolution is said TO
have been due TO tho refusal Of the
u. a. X. to permit a noted Negro
contralto 10 present a concert in
Constitution Hall. Washington,
which the d. A. X owns.
AS protest against racial dis
elimination this gesture by the
Presidents wife will not pass un-
noticed.
The surprisig thing is that the
Daughters OF the American Reso-
luton, an organization of suppos-
odly patriotic and enlightened
women. should have taken a step
that could be interpreted only as
sanctioning racial intolerance.
Americans are indignant at The
exhibitions OF intolerance which
certain countries IN Europe are
giving the world today.
And they ought To ito everything
within their power to discourage
the spread OF intolerance in their
own country. whether the object
OF that Intolerance Is race. creed.
or color.
The public generally. we vcn-
ture TO think. Will approve OF Mrs
Roosevelt's action.
