Not many players who lead a

But the stalwart Buffalo outfielder

be the champ If he can stave OF
some persistent pursuers.
Patrick slipped from 1888 to .329,
but this didn't cost him the lead
Henry Majeski Of Newark was
making a threatening gesture. He
pressed forward from 1925 to 1877.

Long Golf Trip Cuts
Interest Here in

Only Is Will Take Test;
Distance to Omoho, Hot
Weather Are Reasons

Smallest entry list in the National
Amateur golf championship in re-
cent years will appear for the sec
tional qualification rounds next
week to decide the lineup OF about
ITO Qualifiers for the coming tour
ney at Omaha, Nebr. The entry in
the local sectional rounds at the
Country Club Of Maryland next
Thursday sets a new low for this
sector. Only Is men have entered,
Of whom four will qualify.
The reasons for this lack of IN
terest are plain. The title tourney
is scheduled at Omaha in August.
Omaha happens to be a long way
from the big Eastern centers Of
population, and Omaha in August
isn't the coolest spot in the land.
Furthermore, the championship in
terferes with vacation plans.
In past years the tourney has
been played after Labor Day, when
most Of the contestants have wound
up their vacations. This is one
item contributing to the small entry.
Another is the draft. Quite lot
Of good golfers are hitting their
shots in Army camps nowadays, and
championship golf is out.
The United States Golf Associs-
ton has done the right thing in
sending the amateur 10 Omaha,
heart of a section which has pro-
duced some good golfers, including
one national champion. But they
| could have picked, with some profit
to themselves, better dates than the
latter part Of August.
There's some agitation nowadays
to hold the National Open later in
the year, probably in September.
with the proponents of the move
declaring the open championship
should be the climax, the big wind
up to the campaign instead of being
the first big affair on the summer
schedule.
But that argument doesn't hold
water. The open comes around six
weeks after the close of the winter
campaign. If the pros aren't ready
then, following a tough tournament
a-week schedule, they never will be.
June remains the best month for
the open championship, but like
wise September would be a national
championship month. w. r. McC.

Rule in 0per Golf
Groy Shoots IS to Goin
2-Shot Margin Going
Into Lost 36 Holes
Ry the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Aug. 9.-Two Cana
dian professionals who have alb
sorbed one important lesson from
their United States rivals-that
there's nothing like q good swat to
carry the ball somewhere near the
cup-today sought to bring home
the Canadian Open golf champion
ship that has gone over the border
for rs years in q row.
The candidates were Bobby Gray,
jr.. who held a 2-stroke lead over
the field going into the final 36 holes
today, and Gerard Proulx, a con-
sistent clouter from Montreal.
Shoots an Amazing IS.
GRAY fired a IS that amazed his
rivals and the galleries, and also set
a competitive record for the Lamb
ton Course, to reach the halfway
mark with a total of 1856. Clustered
behind him were six important con-
tenders from the United States.
then came Proulx with = pair Of
par 70s.
Johnny Bulla. another tremen-
dous swatter, from Chicago was
second with 1877. Gene Sarazen,
Horton Smith and Amateur Tom
Draper Of st. Louis, the first-day
leader, had 1885, and Defending
Champion Sam Snead Of Hot
Springs, Va, and Lloyd Mangrum Of
Monterey Park, Calf, were tied
with 1895. Draper and Mangrum,
who scored II each, were the only
ones in the lot of leaders over par
yesterday.
Gray Wild on Greens.
Hopes for a Canadian victory de-
pended mainly upon Gray. son of
a famed Ontario pro, who was born
in Scotland 2s years ago but learned
his golf in Canada. Bobby is &C.
knowledged to be one of the longest
hitters in Canada or the United
States, but he's notably inconsistent.
He is likely to shoot a couple of
sub-par rounds, then blow himself
to a gaudy 80. Gray's most notable
weakness is wild putting, and he
did some OF that yesterday. He
three-putted two green's and still
managed to hang up that sensa-
tional score because Of his great
work with woods and irons.

Lou Cehrig

The death of Lou Gehrig today comes to the American public as perhaps as great shock as any piece of news 1t could have received. In times like which the world is undergoing at present the public for the most part eventually be- comes shock-proof to almost anything. But every so often an occasion or a per- sonage stands out so preeminent above the wear and tear of events that an uneX- pected happening in its or his connection comes as a distinct shock even to a hardened public. Such is the case in the passing of Lou Gehrig.
 Perhaps in the history of baseball dur ing the few short years that Lou Gehrig made baseball history no other player and modest manner. There Is neither space nor time here to go into Lou Gehrigs remarkable fourteen years record We will leave that to the sports writers whose pages will devote no end of col umns to his outstanding accomplish ments. But we can and do want to com- ment about the remarkable courage Of a young man who up until the last fought the same as he fought on the dia- mond one of natures rare and incurable diseases. In this he was just as big, If not bigger, than in baseball. He never quit until the last strike had been called In the last inning.
 In the life and outstanding accom- plishments of Lou Gehrig there is much for the youth of today to take example by. Modest, unassuming, but by very dlnt of perseverance the very best of the best, he was an example well worth emu lating. Even as in his playing days, when he was known as the "1ron Horse" of base ball, since his retirment and subsequent appointment to the New York city parole board, he put the same effort and de. termination in his new line of endeavor. Had he lived he had intended to do as much for the parole system, especially where youth was concerned, as he did for baseball. In the death of Lou Gehrig, not only baseball, but the world has lost a fine and sterling character - to few and far between In these days of strife, greed, and turmoil.

Holiness to all the world were direct and without rancor, definite contrast to many opinions spoken publicly today, on and off the air. Much favorable comment was expressed and 1t goes without saying that the Pope's words impressed many of all creeds.
 Again Pope Plus like his predecessor, Leo XIII, stressed the perils of mater ialistic world, of socialism and its fatal consequences. He repeated many of the tenets contained in the Rerum Novarum in regard to material goods, labor and the family He mentioned mans rights in the social order, right of ownership, private property and so on. And then proceeding to the family he stated: Mature itself has closely joined private property with the existence of human society and Its true civilization and in very special manner with the existence and development of the family. Such a link appears more than obvious. Should not private property secure for the father of the family the healthy liberty he needs in order to fulfill the duties assigned by the Creator, regarding the physical, Splr- itual and religious welfare of the family?"
 Throughout his Sunday address Pope Plus XII referred to the importance Of the Rerum Novarum which was perpet- uated and continued in conforming se- quence in ensuing encyclicals of those pontiffs who followed Leo. These pro- nouncements have come to be regarded by the great body of Christians, Catholic and Protestant, as very important docu- ments on the social order, and very par ticularly apply to social and economic conditions as they are today. In his talk Sunday Pope Plus very definitely showed fifty years ago, still apply, and are not dated

Hugh 'Walpole

The death of Hugh Walpole Sunday at his home near KesWick, England, in the Lake District, brings to a close a distinguished literary career. The literary output of this writer was enormous Writ ing, to him, apparently, was second nature, and 1t Is safe to say without con- sulting records that he wrote at least a book year since he was twenty five It was he himself who said, q write as breathe" He loved writing so much that this was quite apparent in his books. Few writers have turned out more enter taining novels, ones that are pretty gen. erally liked His death came at the age of fifty-seven, at time when "this England" is facing the most critical situation m its history.
 Hugh Walpole wrote of the various strata of English society in a vastly in- teresting fashion. He picked out their foibles and presented them in choice phraSing but he was not unkindly sharp; neither was he too sentimental in his at titude. He presented a dying out aristoc- racy as typified in his duchess in the Duchess oI WreXe books which were excellent reading, and included "The Young Enchanted" "The Duchess of Urexe," "The Green Mirror" and Win termoon." Life in the cathedral town was well done in his "The Cathedral" and he contributed to famous saga series in his Herries books, which included Rogue Herries," Judith Paris" and "Vanessa." It would be difficult to make any attempt to chronicle his novels, since they covered so wide literary field. Like wise he wrote, along with novels, chil- dren's books, belle-lettres, fantasies. His mind was alive with ideas, and his telling of story and depletion of character or almost any phase of the English scene were vital and real. He also took time to have a go at moving picture directing, when "David Copperfield" was filmed. His services to literature were outstand- ing and for these he was knighted in 1887.

Involved in these pay demands
 Is no question of low wages, ex-
 cesSlve work hours, or union re.

 purely gouging racket.
 In repeated public statements, William Green plus other AFfL moguls have uttered pious words of patriotism. But when 1t comes down to cracking the whip on contract-breakers and racketeerS, ell Green has to offer is patience"
 "senator," he replied to Senator Harry Truman, chairman of the committee which questioned Green about the outlaw San Francisco strike, i've learn in life that we must be patient many times. Even with bad boys and bad girls."
 This Is clearly shown by the following record: At the new or- dnance plant ct Ravenna, Ohio, AFL strikers demanded boosts for common laborerS from 66c to DOC on hour, carpenters from SLIP to Si.37N an hour, cement finishers from SIPS to $i.60; at Camp Polk, Leesville, La, bricklayers deinand- cd 6 jump from $i.B0 to Si.62M; at the new ordnance plant ct rf1- dependence, Mo, electricians de- rlanded q raise from Sl.b0 to $l.62iA; at the new ordnance plant at Sandusky, Ohio, plumb- CTS and steamfitters demanded c boost from SIPS to $i.62h; and ct the Philadelphia armor plate plant electricians insisted on an increase from $i.62h to $i.76 an hour.

Dr. William Lyon Phelps will not ap- pear in long familiar role at Yale Uni versity commencement this June. For twenty years he has been public orator. He has asked to be relieved of this duty and his place will be taken by Arnold Whitridge, professor of history, the arts and letters. pr. Phelps has been busy man for many years. His lecture pro- grams, his writing, and his associations with one thing and another must occupy a great part of the time He is direc- tor of the Hall of Fame institute in New York, and this too, is an important posi- tion which must keep him pretty well oc- cupied.
