Such a room is often a god
send in family. When the grown
daughters Of the family are using
the living room for guests,
room like this, either upstairs or
down, gives mother and dad a
place where they can get late
supper, or spend the evening. Or
vice-versa, the young people can
use it. The same sort of furnish
ings could go in a game room if
that is what you happen to have.

 On the writing side Rex Beach, the old Alaskan who cries "mush" instead of fore" as a warning that he is about to loose his thunderous drives, has his game tuned until it creaks. And Clarence Burlington Kelland was jubilant when he teed of and drove into an unplayable lie.
 At last, at long last," MT. Kel- land exulted, T have so perfected my slice that I am able to pickup after four swings at the ball. This enables me to walk much of the course in peace and quiet, without worrying about pitching, putting and exploding"
 Before leaving the first tee MT. Keiland made a modest wager with producer John Golden that his (Mr Kelland's) slice would result in more out of bounds than MT. Golden's renowned hook. MT. Golden went one-up when he booked his first shot with superb confidence into the Atlantic ocean. His contention that the Atlantic was casual water was over-ruled by Grantland Rice and Joe Williams, co-chairmen of the rules committee.
 The biggest gallery of the day went out with Gene Buck, president of ASCAP and one-time first lieu- tenant of Flo Ziegfeld. As discoy- erer of w. c.

Montauk, N. Y, July 27--(UP)- A golf tournament that will produce more records than any National Open in history began here today when the first foursome in the sum- mer get-together of the artists and writers drank 8 toast with eye openers and plunged into the dunes in search of tee shots.
 Before the sun (and the man. agement of the Montauk Manor) set on the 36-hole tournament to- morrow new and enduring marks are certain to be established in the following golfing divisions:
 1. Number of divots dug up.
 2. Size of divots wrested from the soil.
 3. Lost balls.
 4. WhiffS.
 5. Clubs broken.
 6. Number of caddieS exhausted from laughing.
 2. Pick-ups.
 8. Five, six, seven and eight putt greens.
 g. SQuawkS over hand1capS.
 10. Bizarre golfing costumes.
 II. Players lost in rough and in dunes.
 12. Number of players finishing after dark. Favored in the pre- tournament betting is cartoonist Rube Goldberg, one of the few ann bidextrous golfers in tine country. That is, he plays just as miser- ably left-handed as he does right handed, and requires his caddie to carry two sets of clubs. He had added a driver to his left-hande set for this tournament and figures to be a dangerous contender. Ger tainly he will be dangerous to any spectator within ten yards of him, right or left. His handicap Is 150 and he plays to it.

City Amateur League 'PayoH'' Game Sunday
BROOLYNS MAKE LAST BID FOR
 CHAMPIONSHIP
Thomas Club One Game Ahead; Tribes Vs Looks;
 Games at Stadium

On a neutral field, the $350.000 Waterbury Municipal Stadium. on Watertown avenue, North End Thomas Club and Brooklyn A. c. will "have it out" Sunday in what may be the deciding game of the 1940 City Amateur league, insofar as the championship is concerned. As the situation stands now, the Tommies have a slim single game lead, which, if wiped out tomorrow by the B. A. c. will create triple tie, with four weeks to play pro- vided the Sacred Hearts defeat the Washington Hills too, as they are favored to do. Tribunes and Over- looks cross bats in the third game of the afternoon.
 Tribes and Overlooks meet at 12 o'clock noon: to be followed by the Hearts, Hills game at 2 o'clock and the feature Tomrnies-B Brooklyns tus- sle at 4 p. m.
 Should the Thomas Club win, the league championship will be just about settled and 1t will be pretty much "all over but the shouting" as a two game lead with only four games to play is fairly safe for 8 strong team. If the leaders lose, 1t will be one whale of scramble for the next month.
 Mound Duel
 Joe Strokalaitis and Roy Lefty Johnson are sure-fire starters for kI,o reo,,.,,.iAe aNJ D ~ vx,INicl, i,, dicates another fine pitching duel, as both men have been pitching fine ball all season. Plenty of heavy hitting can be expected, Bobby Greatorex, Tommies' second base- man. being the leagues best batter to date, while the Brooklyns' Mike Haiday is not far behind 1928 hit- ter. Greatorex has hit .379 in eight games.
 Out of a clear sky, the Sacred Hearts bobbed up with Ray OToole on first base last Sunday replacing George Mulligan, but there is no certainty who will be on the big tomorrow, when the Hearts must win from the Washington Hills to stay in the pennant picture if the Tommies are defeated. Doran and Bobby Ray are hitting hard while little Dick Tuckey is also a threat every time he comes up to the plate.
 Overlooks and Tribunes may play to a small crowd at noon, but they are sure to put on a game worth watching. An admission charge has been set for adults for the triple header.

Conn Or Pastor to Get Louis Go; Baer Bout Off
Bv JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 New York, July 27-(UP)-Many of the fight mob figure that Maxie Baer and Manager Ancil Hoffman made smart move in demanding a $5O,0OO guarantee for title tilt with Joe Louis, thereby causing Promoter Mike Jacobs to abandon plans for the bout.
 This maneuver is regarded along 18th street as an "easy out" for Baer dignified escape from another batting by the Brown Bomber whose very presence in the ring left Maxie frozen with fright that night in 1885.
 Madcap Maxie regained some of his lost prestige on July 2 at Jersey City by knocking out Tony Galento. It is believed that Baer and Hoffman prefer to coast along now-picking up smaller checks for an Argentine fight with Arturo Godoy, refereeing appearances, etc.-irstead of accept ing one good hunk for another Louis licking. Both are well fixed finan- cially, anyway.
 Hoffman, very shrewd pilot and business man, knows that Mike Jacobs hasn't given anyone guar antee since the carnival of champions in 1887. Mike suffered a heavy loss on the carnival after paying Light weight Champion Lou Ambers an $80,000 guarantee to defend his title against Pedro Montanez.
 Jacobs talked to Hoffman on the telephone yesterday, and when Hoff- man repeated his $50,000 demand, Uncle" Mike told him to forget about it because he was abandoning the Louis-Baer bout entirely.
 When he abandoned this bout yes- terday, Jacobs announced that Louis, instead, will make a September title defense against the winner of the Billy Conn-Bob Pastor brawl slated for August 13. Conn is favored at 8E5, and If he wins the handsome Pittsburgh pug will draw big gate in New York with Louis.
