Loses $500

Mrs. Eva Remines was robbed
of twenty five dollars on Monday
of this week. Carrying the money
for her brother, C. D. Mullins, to
deposit in the bank, she stopped
at the post office. A brown paper
bag containing the money was
placed on a window ledge while
she transacted some business. The
bag was forgotten when she left
the post office, and when she re-
turned shortly to look for it the
bag was gone. The money has not
been recovered at this time.

Local Store Is
Robbed Sunday

The store of Bob Baker in East
Clintwood was entered on Sunday
and about fourteen dollars remov-
ed from the cash register during
the absence of Mr.. Baker and his
wife.
A door to the downstairs apart
nent was left open, Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker both being under the i'm
preston that the other had latch
ed it. Returning from Sunday
School, the door was found to be
open, but check of money and
goods resulted in nothing being
missed. Before leaving for a visit
with relatives, Mr.. Baker made
the door secure, and the robbery
occurred some time during the
day. Since the door had not been
tampered with during their after
noon visit, the owner concluded
that the unlimited guest was con-
cealed in the building when he re
turned from Sunday School. No
clues have yet been found.

Have Busy
Day Monday

The regular April meeting OF
the Board Of Supervisors on Mon
day was divided into two sessions.
in the morning routine matters
were dealt with. In the afternoon
budget requests and consideration
of county finances came before
the house.
The usual sheep claims and 9th
ers for various services were acted
upon. Among these were sponsors
contributions for sN.Y.A. homemak-
ing centers and VIVA sewing room
materials. These items brought
forth sharp discussion and were
barely passed by three-two vote.
Commissioners appointed t o
view and assessc damages to prop
erty of Mat Mullins of near Haysi,
caused by repairs on Highway Rt.
80. reported damages sustained to
the extent of $500. A newspaper
was paid $500 for publishing the
county budget.
Mr.. Muncy, Resident Engineer
of the Highway Department, dis
cussed the secondary road pre-
gram of the county for the next
fiscal year.
Game Warden O'Neill of Wise
County talked at some length, ex-
planning the practical operation of
the dog law in Wise County which
permits the release of deer. The
board again deferred action on the
proposal.
In the afternoon, the separate
budgets for the Welfare Depart
ment and for the public schools
were presented. Lee Stanley, bud
get director, presented the COM
bined county budget for the fiscal
year from July 1, 1910, to July L.,
1941.
Mayor Sutherland of ClintWood
assessed values in the town of
Clintwood Mayor Sutherland de-
clared that many valuable pieces
of real estate in the town had not
been assessed for taxation in past
years. He pointed to instances OF
apparent inequalities in assess
ment.
DR.. John H. Russell, Research
Director, State Dept. of Taxation,
discussed reassessment practices
in Virginia. Dr. Russell pointed
out that reassessment problems
could be handled by board or by
specialist He stressed that a.
board should have a period of
training before beginning the ac-
tual work. He said that it was a
practical impossibility to have a
general reassessment in Dickinson
this year.

Shattering Unwritten
Rule, Ring Folk BET
Against Hammer
~ the Associated Press.

ny tne AASOClhleQ FTeSks
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Alons
Scrambled Ear Avenue there has
been an unwritten rule the last
couple Of years-"Never bet against
the Hammer"
Knowing this. and appreciating
the fact that those acquainted in,
and with, the business Of bashing
beaks rarely invest their cocoanuts
unless they've picked apart every
angle, like your Thanksgiving tur-
key. it is surprising, to say the least,
to find several of our leading citizens
getting of The Hammer now
TheSHammer, of course, is LII Per-
petual Motion, Henry Armstrong.
He defends his world welterweight
championship against Fearless
Fritzie Zivic, one of Pittsburgh's five
failing zivics, in Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night.
Up to now, Hennery the Hammer
never has given any one cause to
switch from the rule mentioned
above. So. it's only natural that you
raise your eyebrows way up to here
when some Of the better boxing
minds figure It may be just too bad
for The Hammer this time. It's
especially obscure because those who
are doing the talking apparently
have no reason for shilling for
Fritzie.

Brilliantly for Triumph in
Pro-Amoteur Golf Event

Rippy received a golf bag. Two
losing semi-finalists received $50
each in cash and merchandise.
Further "upsets" were in prospect
at Columbia today as eight sur
vivors of the first round in the club
championship top flight were sched-
uled to play second round matches.
Tommy Webb, medalist, former
champ, and current favorite, met
Billy Shannon in the second round,
and was due for no easy match, on
the basis of Billy's win yesterday
over Capt. Jesse Auton. Billy hoisted
a third shot inches from the cup
for the needed half on the 18th
yesterday, and won on the 10th.
Listed as upsets were the licking
administered to 1899 Champion
Edgar A. Merkle by Roy H. Pick
ford, former Washington club
champ. by a three and two margin,
and the demise Of Favorite George
F. Miller, last years runnerup, at
the hands of young Wilbur Gar
rett, who won on the last green. But
these "upsets" always occur in club
championships, and some of them
aren't altogether in that class.

While five Washington Country
Club golf teams lined up their
players for second round matches
in the Maryland State team series
next Sunday, the State Golf Associa-
ton was asked series of questions
regarding its stewardship of golf
within the State by Cecil H. Sped
den, president of the Terra Mariae
Club of Towson, Md.
Spedden accused the Maryland
State Golf Association of cutting
corners, tolerating selflshness and
approving unsound amendments to
rules, in letter addressed by Presi-
dent Francis M. Barker of the golf
association.
No Bye for Washington.
Strangely enough no Washing
ton Club has drawn a bye in the
State association team matches,
while four Baltimore clubs have
drawn byes, two in the first round
last Sunday and two in the second
round. Rolling Road and Baltimore
Country Club drew first-round byes.
and Elkridge and Suburban drew
second-round byes All four clubs
are in the Baltimore area.
I'VE should have a strong sec
tional association, composed OF
Maryland, Virginia and the District
of Columbia" Spedden suggests.
Wipe out State associations and
have a vice president in charge OF
each section. There is too much
centralizat ton of authority in Bal
timore, and too many short cuts are
taken"
Pairings for the matches next
Sunday are as follows: Woodmont
VS.. Rolling Road at Rolling Road,
Elkridge draws bye, Indian Spring
VS.. Capital at Capital, Beaver Dam
VS.. Terra Mariae at Terra Marlae,
Suburban Club draws bye, Chevy
Chase VS.. Baltimore Country Club
at Five Farms.
Here is Spedden's letter:
Dear Mr.. Barker:
I'VE have been hoping some clue
would exc out showing sound rea-
son for your having two byes' for
the team matches last Sunday and
thereafter, "a gift and a second
chance from you without play in
the first matches, when, by all nor
NAL methods of reasoning and good
workmanship il would appear these
two teams should have been COM
PEELED to play the first matches, let
ting the "one bye" which would
then follow in the second, third
and fourth rounds fall where 1t was
earned.

A pair Of redhot youngsters. one
a pro and the other an amateur, to-
day counted the reward of three
days Of play in the Mid-Atlantic
pro-amateur match play tourney
at the Manor Country Club, and
found it worth while, as Joe
Kirkwood, jr., son of the aging trick
shot star, and amateur Otto Greiner
looked back on victory in the
tourney over the best combinations
which could be tossed against them.
Both boys are 81 years of age.
Kirkwood is the assistant pro at the
Terra Mariae Club of Baltimore.
Greiner is the clubs star amateur
and possibly the top simon pure in
this links sector. Kirkwood's share
of the purse in the tourney which
ended yesterday at Manor was $50.
Greiner-the amateur-received a
set Of clubs.
Between them these two stalwart
youngsters, just the kind Of lads
needed to whack out victory over
a rain-drenched Manor Country
Club course, put together flock Of
pars and brides to lick the favored
pair of Cliff Spencer and Claude
Rippy in the final, witnessed by a
handful of brave folks who dared
a rainstorm. The Baltimore duo
won by 2 and /, but it was no push
over.
Greiner was the hero. He started
in the final 49, "a 2, which happens
to be three under par. Kirkwood
and Greiner were out in 80, but
were only l up. A 50-foot putt rat
tied into the cup for q bird at the
18th and they were 2 up. Eippy
sliced the margin in half with =
winning par on the 14th. They
halved the 18th in par IS against
the wind and rain and then Rippy
and Spencer both took buzzard SIS
at the 18th. The Baltimore pair
won the hole with a conceded birdie
and were up with to 60. That's
the way it finished. Spencer's try
for a birdie deuce was wide at the
18th and the hole was halved in
par IS.
Kirkwood and Greiner won their
way to the final with a TWO and
one victory over Rut Cofiey Of
Winchester. Va, and Bob Bowers
Of Rock Greek Park, while Spencer
and Rippy were licking Leo Walper
and Harry Haverstick by q similar
margin. Spencer won SIS for being
the pro on the runner-up duo, while

Conclusion Drown, MoePhoiI
Must Have Been Asleep

The only explanation for this
phenomenon, if it really occurred, is
that Mr.. MacPhail, under the in
fuence of some powerful narcotic
like vanilla, fell asleep for three
quarters of an hour, and that Mr..
lombard let him lie. During wax
ing hours a pause of As seconds in
Mr.. MacPhail's flow of patter is
enough to send his relatives flying
for the coroner.
In spite of Mr.. NeWsom's default,
1t may be possible to bring these two
splendid ear-benders together later
in the season. The match should be
close, though the styles are differ
ent. MacPhail has volume and
intensity. Newsom, by droning in
low tones like a wasp with hang
over, conserves his stamina Neither
of them ever has been known to
listen, which is a weakness of many
otherwise promising ear-chewers.
The winner, as I said, would be
entitled to a match with Max Baer,
who won the title by pinning James
j. Johnston to a wall with four
syllable word and leaving him for
dead after 4 hours and Is minutes of
grueling struggle without mega
phones.
Baer VS.. MacPhail There's a
match to make promoters heart
leap so long as he doesn't have to
listen to it.

Attacks Handicap System.
The knowledge Of players that
you have abandoned control of ham

proper handicap system that cards
are issued without scores or by inn
proper scores, causes loss of interest
and respect
Your policy that "low gross" is
secondary to "low net" invites criti-

yet for a lost ball or unplayable lie
