HERSHEY, Pa, Aug. 27.-The
professionals demonstrated again
today-with the chips really down
that there's something whacky
about par being the mythically per-
feet score in golf.
The field of 100 of the best shot

At II were the always tough jim
my Demaret, Jimmy Hines, KY Laf-

Stretched out behind were all the
big names of the game. Sixty-nine
shot no higher than 76. Included
in this group were former p G. A.
champions Walter Hagen, Leo Die
gel, Gene Sarazen, who showed up
at the last minute, and Johnny Re
volta.
This consistency led the players
to surmise that 153 and more for
the SO holes of qualifying might put
them out of the tournament by to-
night.
After that GA players remain for
the matches, including Defending
Champion Henry Picard, who is ex-
empt from qualifying, and the re-

Weak at the plate, Detroit

Baker admits the Indians have
an edge in pitching and a little
tighter defense, but beyond that
everything favors the Tigers"
BeSet all year with injuries,

eran second baseman who pulled

If and when they get around to

Elizabeth's should be a corking good
one-a throwback to the not-so-long
ago when weekday champions ended
their campaigns in a grand free

But, barring a sudden and COM
plete about face by the weather.
man, there will be no game today
and possibly tomorrow. The keep
er of the photographic charts
dourly forecasts colder weather,
overcast skies and occasional show
ers both days.
Meanwhile, both teams are stand
ing pat on their original pitching
selections. Eddie Collihower, who
broke in on the old Terminal lot,
will serve 'em up for the Brewers
and Joe McFadden, the Saints
speedban artist, will do the chuck
ing for his side. On paper a meet
ing between these giants of the
amateur ranks seems well worth
waiting for and a few days Of idle
ness will whet fans appetites for
the duel.
AS previously announced, the
series will be played as originally
scheduled. Postponed games will
be moved back one day and the en-
tire program will be pushed back to
make room for them. 1t is neces-
sary to follow this procedure to give
all three teams an equal chance in
the championship scramble.
Pepco, representing the United
States Government League, is the
other team seeking the title and
trip to Birmingham, Ala, for the
national tournament.

 An equally important stimulus of the vacation trade this year is the fact that travel offers of the best releases from worry. The profound impact of the revolution abroad upon Americas mind and sentiment creates widespread desire for escape mechanism-a means to "get away from it all"
 In recognition of this, most States and communi- ties are putting display their various vacation attractions, and few indeed are the localities which do not have attractions to offer The dversfcaon of scenic and natural vacation facilities to be found in this nation is equaled nowhere in the world Readily accessible to Americans via road railway, waterway, airway the cool majesty of forests, inspiring mountains inviting beaches, and wealth of inter- in progress coast and international exposi- tion on the other Montana rodeos vie with the Shenandoah Valleys scenery for the tourists eye.
