Every lad VINO enters this event
Is assured of a square deal. This
= loes not mean that all the fighters,
pr the fans either for that matter,
IRE going to like all the decisions
rendered by the judges. Under the
A. A. U. system of scoring, there
IRE bound to be decisions that won't
be poular simply because most
fans may judge a fight by the last
round, whereas the bout may have
been won in the first Or secon4
round. This much can be said, the

The photos of the Red Shield

At the present Monday stands
out as the highlight of the
Golden Gloves. First of all, the
greatest number of fights will
be held this night, and then
too, most or all of the good boys
will see action for the first
time.
With such an array Of colorful
: clouters under fire it would be a
. shame to miss the action. And
there will be fireworks, as there is
5 every chance that the two best
boys in each weight will draw
bach other the first night.
3 The tourney this year is by far
fthe fastest that has been present.
ed to date. There are more boys
entered this year in the Open divis-
lion than there were entered last
year in both the Novice and Open.
Too, the Novice boys have had
another year of seasoning and a
better calibre of boxing is expected
from them this year.
Some of the fans are plan
ming on following the Star
News team to Atlanta this year.
It's an excellent idea, as this
years outfit will be the best
ever to enter Jaw-ja from this
section of the Old North State.
Everything this veal will be
Golden, from the hearts Of the
fighters to the water buckets and
ring posts. Mr.. George D'Orange
who loves the games as well as
any we have ever seen-has been
working overtime getting things
into tip top shape for the boys. He's
a veteran of several wars, and he
knows what a fighter needs.
The seating arrangements at the
High school will be even better
than were those of last year. Ad.
ditional bleachers have been built
for the balcony, and these will be
as good as any in the house. As
has been said before, there amt

Women Shoot Brilliant Golf
In Finals OF Coral Gables
Tournament
BY Y TALBOT

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Feb. o.
R-Patty Berg won her fifth
Miami Biltmore women's
golf title here today, defeating Betty
Jameson, the national champion,
the 38th hole of one OF the
finest, most thrilling matches ever
played between women.
It vas nearly pitch dark and the
two girls were verging upon ex.
hsustion when Betty, the San An.
tonic star, missed her tee shot on
the short 38th and lost to the
scrapping redhead from Minneap'
oils. They had been deadlocked at
the end Of 10 holes and at the end
Of SO.
Seldom have two women shot
such consistently brilliant golf.

only five strokes over mems par
for a long, exacting course, and
six strokes under the women's
standard. A crowd of some 1000
followed the struggle.
When Patty scored her winning
8 on the second extra hole, it mark
ed the eighth time in the course
of the match that she had gone
ahead. The other seven times Bet
ty had doggedly pulled her back
to all-square. But she was never
ahead during the long, hot match
Miss Jameson, who was doublJ
anxious to win today and prove he1
right to the national title, had hel
chance on the 36th green. On the
4a0-yard hole she played a beau
tiful third shot to within six fee
of the cup, and had the putt fol
a birdie and a win. while the gal
lery held it's breath her ball slit
past the rim of the cup, and hel
chance had fled.
With the sun disappearing behint
the palms, they played the 500-yart
first extra hole in regulation fives
and the two tired 21~-year-olds went
on to the 3sth. 1t obviously was the
last hole they would be able II
play.
Betty, for the first time in near
ly nine hours of play, missed he1
tee shot completely. 1t wound ur
on the edge of a deep trap at the
left side of the green, and she
played it out too strong, across
the grass. She came back dead fol
her four, but it wasn't good enough
Patty rolled her second close from
20 feet, and Betty held out hel
hand.
Only some marvellous putting en-
abled Miss Jameson to carry the
match so far. She was shorter OF
the tee than her chubby rival anc
nearby always a trifle shorter wher
they reached the greens. But she
Clipped we'll, and she holed he1
puts. On the first nine holes Of
the afternoon round, for instance
she had seven one-putt greens.
Always Patty, playing fast ane
brilliantly, was going ahead. Once
early in the second round, she
went to two up. But always the
steady, ultra-deliberate San An
tonic girl sank her puts and pull
ed Patty back.

 She nodded, her brown eyes sparkling. Together, they raced down the hill to the boat house on the south side of the big lake, her dark curls flying in the breeze. Tommy was right, she was still a little girl. The round white col lar of her blue dress made her seem far younger than IS.
 The boat house was crowded with customers. The prematurely warm weather had boomed business. They stopped at the lunch counter and had a hot dog, then joined the waiting line.
 "Oh, Tommy" Marie cried. ''We1l ride in a red boat and take popcorn and peanuts along. You can row and I'll sit back and feed the swans and admire you"
 They climbed into red row. boat she picked and drifted lazily around the lake, saying little but enjoying the sun, the fresh, warm spring air and the brightness of the yellow forsythia blooming on the banks. Occasionally Marie threw peanuts to the swans and ducks. The tapping of the water against the side of the boat re- faxed her until she thought of Dan again and was hurt. She was thankful for the healing present.
 Tommy" she said. Let's stop the clock right here. don't want to go back to life"
 He smiled and pulled more slowly on the oars. He had taken off his coat and she could see the muscles f1ex beneath his white shirt. She felt the old thrill for him surge within her and she tried to, hold it but it was gone when he spoke.
 Sounds silly to me. S'pose we did stop the clocks, the sun would still set, night would still come, and would still have to start workin' my truck again in the mornin'. Which reminds me-" he glanced at his watch. we've got to turn this boat in by B."
 Marie frowned. Now, if Tommy had been Dan-She drew herself up sharply. She mustn't think of Dan. He was going to marry Lynda Martin. He was out of her life. Tommy's words snapped her back.
 All right. Let's take the boat in and get at least one ride on the merry -go-round." She held up her hand. Hear it playing that fun ny old music?"
 He pulled more briskly on the oars, steering the boat towards shore
 why do you want to do the same things we did when we were kids?"
 Because that was when we were the happiest together" she answered frankly,
 Aren't you happy with me now?" He slapped the water sav- agely with the cars, making a re- sounding splash.

 She gazed thoughtfully at the tall buildings fringing the south ern skyline, their white spires painted rose by the setting sun. T suppose I'm happy, but in different way"

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Even Emperor Needed Cash to See U. s. Siqhts

RRAZIL'S gesture of friendship
 to the United States in an issue of four stamps honoring the New York Worlds Fair, recalls the visit of the Brazilian Emperor, Dom Pedro II, to the Philadelphia Cen- tennial celebration in 1876. Dom Pedro is shown on the 800-reis stamp, above. Other stamps of the issue include portraits of George Washington, Grover Cleveland and a reproduction of the Liberty Monument, gift of United States to the people of Brazil.
 Dom Pedro was the second reigning monarch to visit the United States, preceded only by King Kalakau of Hawaii. Every where the Emperor went he was feted and great fuss made over him-with one exception.
 When he appeared, alone, at the Bunker Hill monument and started to ascend the stairs, the custodian halted him, demanded the usual 50-cent fee. The emper. or, accustomed to leaving little de- tails of pocket money to his aides, did not have a dime. A cabman lent him the half dollar.
 Son and grandson of Portuguese kings who ruled Brazil, Dom Pedro was a democrat at heart. Under his rule, the people of Brazil enjoyed freedom on a par with that of republican neighbors. Proclamation of the Brazilian re- public in 1889 ended his half- century reign. He died in exile in Paris two years later.

His yellow hair, dampened by per spiration, lay flat and smooth as he took of his felt hat and famed his face. His hat was new. He handled 1t self-consciously. He would have been much more at ease in his old cap, rough shirt and pants, thought Marie. Then she chided herself for being over- critical. She slipped her hand in his.
