TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
By HENRY Nc LEMORE United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Augusta, Ga, April 5-UP)- Scotland may be the home of golf, but Texas is the home of golfers.
 Out there where the west begins the handclasps are a little warmer and so are the scores.
 You could close all the golf courses of the other AT states and Texas would still see to it that the United States remained supreme in the sport. Right now there are enough great Texas-born or TeXas-raised players to dominate any tournament anywhere in the world
 You couldn't find a better example than the tournament that is being played right here il Augus,a today It is the Masters and it's title is not the product of press agent. It really is the Masters tournament for masters. It is to golf what the all-star game is to baseball. The field consists of 58 amateurs and professionals and they are here be- cause of their records, and not be- cause they know somebody or need a weeks vacation in southern cline.
 It is the most select of all golf fields and the man who wins it will have accomplished task every bit as difficult as winning the national open.
 So, having told you that, let me ask you to take a guess as to what men are leading the field after yes terday's opening play of 18 holes.
 South Dakotans? Georgians? New Workers? Californians?
 No.
 Texans
 Excellent
 There is Lloyd Mangrum on top with a first round score of GA that tore par apart and gave him the distinc- tion of having shot the finest com- petitive round III the history of the game. That GA has never had an equal over a like course and under pressure.
 Next to Mangrum is Jimmy De- maret, as Texas as cattle brand. Jimmy fired an amazing 30 on the back nine to bag a 67. A search of the record books, plus talk with the oldest living golf critic, won't bring to light a man who ever played nine holes as brilliantly as Oemaret did yesterday.
 Tied for third place are two more men who hail from the land where the antelope play, clouds are scarce, and discouraging words are rarer than Siamese twins with lisp. One is Byron Nelson, present National Open champion, and the other is Harry Cooper. Cooper was born in Scotland but he wasted little time in getting to Texas. He arrived

tionately known as the Human No 1 Iron"
 Between them, these eight have won just about all there is to win They have expressed willingness tc play any other eight men, anywhere any time, and for anything.
 If the match is ever made, take my advice and ride with Texas.
 It may be the Lone Star State, but not in golf. In golf it is the Star Spangled Banner.

there at the age of two.
 You can take eight Texas players and challenge the world. And chal- lenge it confidently To the four we have mentioned add Ben Hogan, winner of three tournaments this winter; Ralph Guldhahl, two time winner of the National Open; Dick Metz, who learned his game in Dal- las; and Lloyd Mangrums older and, until yesterday afternoon, more eel ebrated brother, Ray, who is affec-

RADIUM DETERMINES AGE

Scientists have been probing into the ages of some of the earth's meteorite visitors, with interesting results. Exploding atoms of radium, giving off helium, lead and energy, furnish the information about the ancient stones. The same method is used in determining the age of our own earth.

Greensboro, N. C., April 5-UP)- Southpaw Mickey Harris, a stand out rookie hurler in spring practice, attempts to pitch his first full game for the Boston Red SoX against Cin- cinnati here today. The Red Sox combed three Cincinnati pitchers including Paul Derringer for 15 hits to win, 13-3, at Winston-Salem yes- terday. Jimmy Foxx, Lou Finney, Doc Cramer and Leo Nonnenkamp all summed homers for Boston,

land-scaped. Shrubbery, flowers

profusion, and every citizen will
be extremely proud of the trans
formation.
This years Fair will be unique
as state fairs go, in at least one
respect. Not one cent of prize
money wilL go to an outside ex-
hibitor, members of the Fair Com
mission having agreed unanimous
ly, that the $2O,O0O.OO set aside for
prizes should go exclusively to
Arizona Exhibitors.
There is a valid reason for that
decision. In view of the fact that
it has been eight years since the
state has had a Fair, the Com
mission, composed of Chairman
Thompson, Chandler; Writ G.
Bowman. Noglaes; R. c. Locke,
Tucson; Harry L. Mace and Chet
Johns, Phoenix, felt that it would
not be fair to expect Arizona ex-
hibitors to compete with out-of
state exhibitors.

But it is now fast approaching
reality and nothing short Of a
major disaster will prevent it from
being held right on schedule.
The story of the 1910 Arizona
State Fair is the story of a cou-
rageous fight waged against seem,
ingly nnsurmountable odds to give
the people of this state a fair
worthy of the name. It's story
too long to relate here, and much
of it may never be told, for now
that the battle mas Deen won those

the Fair possible, talk only of the

They point out that farmers in
states having annual fairs, give a
great deal of care in conditioning
their cattle, horses, sheep, poultry
and what not for exhibition pur-
poses, lavishing that attention
from one Fair to the next.
That does not mean that this
years exhibits will be inferior; not
by long shot. Arizona may well
be proud of it's live stock, dairy
and agricultural industry. No
state produces any inner and the
best that the state has will be on
parade.
