Great Britain has struck quickly
in southern Greece to strengthen
her own position in the eastern
Mediterranean and confine Italian
military operations to the northern
Greek areas Even though the Ital-
ians succeeded in penetrating some
distance into northern Greece the
larger gain will go to Britain if
the British operations in the south
are pushed to their logical conclu-

In his last bout, however, the in

Berg reckoned. however, without
the advice OF his teacher, JACK
Kanner, a promoter and manager
who has been operating around
Denver for years.
Kanner was just as enthusiastic
as ever. He found out the other
night that his boy could take q

BY HENRY MCLEMORE-

DEL MAR, Cal, Jan 26. up
AS a sort OF guarantee 70 my tour
nament partner Jimmy Thomson,
that I would be at my very worst
form when we teed off tomorrow
in Bing Crosby's $4,000 pro-amateur
open, l took final tune up today
over the Rancho Santa Fe course.
My playing partners represented
nearly everything but golf. One of
them was Ty Cobb, still the best
baseball player ever saw. One OF
them was Clarence Buddinton Kel-
land. the novelist whose tee shots
make you understand where he
got the character of ScattergOod
Paines. One OF them was Grantland
Rice probably the surest man on n
fourth putt in America. Another
was Broderick Crawford, the man
who created the role of Lenny in
Mice And Men, and another was
Freddie Corcoran, tournament man
ager of the P. G.. A.
We established numerous records
or our round. The first record We
bagged was on the second hole
when Cobb surpassed the number
of hits he had made in "a years III
the major leagues. On his hole he
struck at the ball for the 4,442nd
time.
On the fifth hole Mr.. Kelland
perfected what the late Ring Lardner
said was the hardest and most spec
tac,llar shot in golf an explosion
shot off the tee. The ball went
straight up in the air, far highef
than either of the unshaven Plcards
ever got in a balloon, and Tor the
first time in the history OF solf a
man was playing his second back
of the ladies tee. It is no eTageera-
ton to say that any adult ana
conscientious hen could have been
teed UP and laid an egg 1arther
fhan Mr.. Kelland hit his tee shot.
Cn the seventh hole-.I did my DIT
for our record breaking foresome.

and so lile-likc, that a huntsman
in nearby woods miStook it for an
armadillo and let it have both
barrels. 1t was not until he came
over to claim the pelt, for mount
in purposes. that he discovered he
had drilled a bit Of Rancho Santa
Fe turf right between the eyes.
On the fifteenth hole Mr. Craw-
ford, with a cry of ARE we mice or
are we mem" attempted to cut Off
the curve of a dog-leg. Needing only
drive of 400 yards, he whammed
into the ball, For the first l25 yards
it looked as if he might succeed
Then like a stricken mallard. the
ball dropped into swamp into
which no white man had ever set
foot
This did not daunt Crawford. be-
cause he is not q man to lose a
new re-paint ball without a search.
Taking his snake kit bag from
his caddy, and with a quick bite
of the jerked beef which he always
carries. Crawford moved into the
swamp. AS far as we know he is
still there. After an hour OF waiting,
and after there was no answer to
distress flares sent up by Mr.. Kel-
land, we moved on. We can only
hope that Broderick found a friend
ly tribe and, adjusting himself to
their rites, was made welcome. If
not, and If he fell victim to their
poisoned darts, all we can say is
that 240 pounds of stew is being
cooked somewhere in the swamp to-
night.
Mr. Corcoran, as tournament
manager of the P. G. A. and whose
association Is normally with the
Nelson's, Woods. Guldahls, LittleS
and Sneads was distressed and be-
wildered by the whole thing. Only
IA over par going to the sixteenth
hole, Mr.. Corcoran was bit on the
sneery side. Too, he was the only
man with par. and had the match
gone SO holes I have sneaking
feeling that he would have been
unbearable: -. t'".>
