Rule Forcing Victor
To Drive First Is
Deemed Unfair
Pro, Amateur Sturs Now
On Winter Tour Favor
Revision Of Code :.
BY RUSS NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 49,
Gathering momentum and growing
in size these days, like q SNOWFALL
rolling down hill. is an agitation
from which may stem one of the
most important golf rules changes
since the royal and ancient pastime
was born in a Scottish COW pasture
more than 500 years ago.
1t is an idea to make the honor"
system optional instead of the rigid
fixture in force now. The suggested
revision is to let the player with the
honor" take it or give it to his OPP
ponent, as he chooses.
Under the present rules player
winning a hole drives first off the
next tee. 1t is his honor"
What does the honor" do for him?
Nothing, unless he happens to be
wagering in a match where the first
ball on the green wins a piece Of
change.
Honor" Frequently No Help.
In important tournament COM
petition there is as much likelihood
as not the honor" will boomerang
to hit its owner figuratively in the
eye.
Picture a hypothetical incident
such as this. It is the last hole of
the final match of a national cham
pionship. The man with the "honor,"
he might have held it for 10 holes, or
won the last hole to square the
count, tees off. A stiff cross wind is
blowing. He fails to allow enough
for the wind The ball goes out Of
bounds, into trees or the rough.
Because he pioneered the way his
opponent profits by the experience.
1t enables him to figure the wind
correctly or to play safe. He wins
the hole and the title. It was an
empty honor" for the other.
Professional and amateur stars
travelling the current winter tourna-
ment circuit already have found
many reasons to humble and grum-
BILE about the rule.
Hagen Endorses Idea.
All Professional Golfers Associa-
ton tournaments are played under
U. S. G. A. rules. There are at least
80 P. G. A.-sanctioned events a year.
For this reason the pros. individu-
ally, feel their opinions in the mat
ter should carry some weight. Col
lectively, one of these days, they are
expected to put up the proposition
to Harold w. Pierce, president of the
U. S. G. A.
Any such change would affect mil
lions of golfers in tournaments
ranging from local to national scope.
Fred Corcoran, tournament bu-
reau manager of the P. G. A., said a
cross-section survey of the touring
golfers disclosed overwhelming SEN
timent in favor of revision of the
rule.
The Incompatible Walter Hagen,
winner in Is years of IS major tour
naments, including five National P.
G. A., four British Open and two
United States Open championships,
heartily Endorsed the idea. II can't
understand why the rule wasn't
adopted years ago. I could have won
a lot more tournaments" he said.

Demuret Proves Real
McCoy as linksmon
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

Special Correspondent OF The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Jan.
% (N.ANA).-A new star is shin.
ing in the golfing sky of 1910. His
name is Jimmy Demaret Of Houston,
Tex, the mold Of fashion in dress
and the glass Of form In swinging
style.
Only a few days ago this young,
good looking Texan won the $4,000
Oakland open from q brilliant field,
including most Of the Nations
finest golfers.
On Sunday he won the San Fran.
cisco match play crown from the
same field by beating Willie Goggin
in the final round.
Demaret has won big tournaments
before, but only champion could
win two such tournaments in a row.
The Houston Hurricane has one
Of the smoothest swings in golf. He
takes little time over any shot. He
is one of the star stylists. And
no one in the field seems to be so
relaxed, no matter what the pres
sure. He takes golf competition far
less seriously than most of the
others. Which may be one of the
answers.
But you can keep your eye on
Jimmy Demaret through the golfing
campaign of 1910. He belongs with
the elect.
Demaret now not only is the
leading money winner of 1910 with
over $4,000 packed away, but also
far in front for the Vardon Trophy.
His death thrust against Goggin
really came at the long tenth hole,
where Jimmy tossed in an eagle ,
against Goggin's birdie. They were
both 4 upder par when the battle
ended.
Humon Race Is Neor Limit
Of Speed on the Hoof.
How close has the human race
come to the limit of its capacity
in the matter of speed and other
athletic records? How much farther
can it force ligaments, nerves and
straining muscle?
put this query up to Dean Crom-
well, mauos track coach at the Uni.
versity Of Southern California.
"We are not far away from the
final limit" the veteran Cromwell
said. This applies especially to
the crack Splinter. Some one may
chop of the shade of split second
for the 100 and 200. but no more.
How can you find Splinter better
equipped than Owens was-great
natural speed, leg power, perfect
coordination. unmatchable rhythm,
all combined in one system? Frank
Wykoff, my Southern California
Splinter. had slightly better stride
than Owens carried, but Owens was
close to being the perfect Splinter.
I just don't know how we are going
to find a better one"
''Is there any chance that some
superman may come along?"
asked Dean.
VERY little" he said. zone rea.
son is that we have forced liga-
ments, nerve tissue and muscle al.
most to the limit. I don't believe
the human system originally was
intended to run this fast. For ex.
ample, if some one came along fast
enough to run the century in 9 sec.
onds fiat, I don't believe ligaments
or muscles could stand the terrific
strain. Something almost would be
sure to crack. There is a certain
point beyond which no one may

Assembly of America. For the first
time the Social Justice Committee of
the Rabbinical Assembly of America
has joined with the other groups.
Unemployment "Basic Problem"
The fundamental purpose of the
gathering is to call on the country to:
"Form a united will to abolish un-
employment" Unemployment is the
basic problem before the nation and
vitally affects all other problems of
national well being" say the leaders.
They ask for the churches to send one

''The plan is to have as members of

cal churches. The only credential

ment of church official or local pas
tor on the application blank" says

coming involved in partisan party
politics. At the same time it is de-

now this board must turn in it's re-
port on which / shall act promptly"
Wage Report Presented
Miss Miller presented the board
with an exhaustive report on wages
and other working conditions of
women and minors in the hotel indus
try prepared by the Division of
Women in Industry and Minimum
Wage, State Department of Labor.
"While the typical hotel worker
earned $10.19 week, half of them
earned less and half more," said Miss
Miller. "The all-year hotel workers
earned about twice as much as those
in resort hotels. Clerical workers
were the highest paid group, their
median earnings being 1852 week.
"What these hotel workers have to
live on by the year is more important
than anything else and / urge this
board to consider the annual wages
carefully. We found the typical
woman in all-year hotels earning
$584.13 a year. Those figures are a
far cry from the amount the Depart
ment of Labor determined as neces-
sary for adequate living, which is
slightly over $1,000 year.
Wages Declared Inadequate
Taking everything into considera-
tion, there is no doubt that large
proportion of workers in all types of
hotels in the various communities are
receiving wages too low to meet the
requirements of our State Minimum
Wage Law. 1t is also evident that
the employers who are striving to
maintain good labor standards are at
the mercy Of their unfair competitors.
Finally the public suffers because of
the low purchasing power of these
underpaid workers"

the board are:

Lively Debate Among Labor Executives at Conference
Shorter Work Week-Amercan Federation of Labor
Says Shorter Work Week Solution to Problem.

wages would remain the same under
shorter hours.
William Collins, eastern represent
ative of the American Federation of
Labor, said emphatically it was a
question that should be answered and
declared the A. F. of L. position 'very
clearly" was that with reduced hours
standards of living should not be re-
duced. eve want eight hours pay
and six hours work." he said.
Meany Tells A. F. of L. Stand
George Meany, secretary treasurer
of the A. F. of L., said the federation
held the shorter work-week program
to be most important as "an effective
method to reduce unemployment" +"
and also that it would give workers
increased leisure and be beneficial to
their health. No substantial gain in
employment can be made without a
shorter work-week, he said.
Later he said all surveys of the eff
feet of shortening working hours
showed that at first there was let
down in production but that when adj
justment had been made, production
returned to it's former level under the
same number of workmen. Workers
would not agitate for shorter work
day, he asserted, if it would mean de-
creased pay.
The position taken by Lyons was
supported by some speakers but the
majority insisted the objective of
labor is the six-hour day at the same
rate of wages as the present longer
day.

Style Craze Big Factor

"Aside from abuse of the return
privilege" the pamphlet adds, "many
more legitimate practices of consum-
ers cause the costs of distribution to
mount up. Our desire always to be
in style is, of course, a great factor.
We want seasonal goods, and we want
large array of them from which to
choose.
Beyond the simple buying of
goods, consumers always want more
and more services. Delivery often is
just the beginning. Consumers want
recipes, instructions, repair and up
keep service, advice, credit, periodic
testing-and wide variety of other
things"
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that it was "some enterprising pro-
ducer or dealer, seeing a possibility
for increased sales, who first offered
each one of these new services to the
public. The increasing cost of distri-
button that results from them cannot
be set down as wholly the fault of
consumers or distributors"

|USHA PROGRAM AID
TO PRIVATE BUILDING

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Fully
$15,000,000 worth of new residential
and commercial construction, more
than half built by private individuals,
has grown up within the immediate
neighborhoods of 78 public housing
projects, according to the results of
a survey made public by Nathan
Straus, administrator of the United
States Housing Authority.
That the national slum-clearance
and public low-1ent housing program
of the USHA is having stimulating
effect on the private building indus
try is directly in line with similar
results in England and Wales where
private construction has expanded as
the British public housing program
grew, Straus said.
The USHA survey, which included
35 projects constructed during the
present USHA slum-clearance and
low-rent housing program and 43
projects built by the Housing Division
of the Public Works Administration
and turned over to the USHA, indi-
Gated that about $15,OO0,0O0 was
spent during the past two years on
private and public construction in the
neighborhoods of these 78 projects.
Of this sum, $8,841, 900 was ex-
pended in constructing, improving or
repairing 1900 privately owned build
ings. In addition, more than 100
stores were built and 119 were i'm
proved or repaired.
