of us could bring off a string of birdies when forced to. So you see if our goal had been 67 say from the start instead of 72, we undoubtedly could have done just what the boys are doing today"
 Hagen Is of the firm belief that Q champion is born with the gift ot being a champion, and that no mat ter what age he lived in. would have won his cups and titles just the same.
 Great Difference
 There is a great difference be- tween being a great hitter of Q golf ball and a champion hitter oi Q golf ball. The woods have been full of great swingers and hitters since they played with feather balls in dear old Scotland, but the only hitterS that matter are the ones you'll find in the record book un- der the roll of champions. I mean the fellows with the will to win, and the heart to back up the will. How many of the boys who are shooting courses in nothing flat, shoot the same kind of golf when national title is there for them to aim at? You mean to tell ma that Bob Jones wouldn't have been a champion ii he had been born ten years later9 or that Vardon or @ dozen others you can name wouldn't have beer the same"
 What about yourself, Haigp" asked.
 No false modesty in the Haig.
 T would have won by share, think; I'll tell you this. When Tn 70 they can roll me out to the fina tee of the national open and tell Int anything better than In eight vii win 1t for men, and you can bet I'll win 1t. III come closer to getting Q birdie than Q buzzard."
 Then the ship came down and the Haig was off down the dock to meet the Duke and Duchess, walk ing as he always has-like a cham pion.

pitching. It doesn't seem to matter whether he catches the ball full on the end of the bat Or on the handle 1t usually turns out to be base hit" explained Carl.
 Catchers Hit Hard
 We wondered If there could be anything significant about the fact that two catchers, Hartnett and Lombardi, found the least trouble in solving his bafflers. T hadn't given 1t any thought but 1t might be al- together possible. A catcher certairi- ly ought to be more familiar with what a pitcher throws and how the ball performs than any other play CT"
 One of the things that gives Hub- bell hope he may still help the Giants from time to time IS the game he pitched against the Brooklyns last Decoration Day. This game proved to him that he still could have his good days. Actually I think 1t was the finest game ever pitched, and 1t gives me comfort to know I pitched 1t late in my career" We happened to see the game in ques. ton and 1t came close to being Q masterpiece. It was a one hitter and only 27 men faced the famous screw baller He threw only 8i pitches. remarkably low number. Control made that a memorable game for me-" he says. Every ball I threw went just where I intended 1t should go. I never had such control before or since. l can't explain it; 1t was just one of those afternoons when I couldn't do anything wrong"

STATE

Performances this evening at the Warner Bros. State theater termt- nate the engagement of "F'ootsteps in the Dark" starring Errol Flynn and Brenda Marshall; also Black out" with Conrad Veidt and Va" lerie Hobson.
 'The Sea Wolf" Jack London's greatest adventure story, comes to the State tomorrow in all Its mag nificence, starring three of the screens most dynamic stars-Ed. ward c. Robinson, Ida Lupino, John Garfield and a mighty sup porting cast.
 It Is the powerful story of Wolf Larsen, the epitome of all the fight ing; killing, roistering and vicious men of the sea fleet. The men who sailed with him on "The Ghost" seldom lived to relate their experi- ences. His shanghaied crews learn ed what 1t meant to be completely under the menal and physical pow CT of the inhuman captain.
 Into this milieu comes a fright ened young girl who is fleeing from prison and a sensitive young au- thor, picked up from the wreck of a San Francisco ferry. The im- pact of this pair upon the oddly assorted crew of 'The Ghost, makes 8 dramatic and memorable story, which is guaranteed screen entertainment for every member Of the family.
 According to advance reports, "The Sea Wolf" is one of the years greatest pictures. Robinson is said to have his grandest role as Wolf" Larsen, captain of "the Ghost" ship: Miss Lupino brings just the right degree of poignancy to the role oS the girl, and Garfield IS superb as a young sailor fighting desperate odds.
 Others in the cast include Gene Lockhart, Barry Fitzgerald, Alexan- der Knox, Stanley Ridges, Francis Mcdonald, Howard da Silva and a supporting cast of hundreds of oth- CT players.
 The second big hit of the pro- gram is Meet the Chump", star ring Hugh Herbert.
 A huge midnight stage and . screen show will be held at the S Loew.Poli theater Saturday night. March 2oth. and the proceeds will be turned over to the Greek War

Miami, March 18. - (Up) - Give Walter Hagen two hours of your time and I'll guarantee that he'll convince you that the modem golfers, with their sensational scores In the middle sixties and thereabouts, aren't one bit better than were the champions of the days when he was In his prime.
 The Haig started making his point to me as the Clipped rose from Biscayne Bay and moved over the sea toward Nassau, and he had me on his side two hours later when the big ship settled down on the pastel waters of the harbor of the lovely little island playground.
 Hagen, whose eleven British and American titles give him the au- thority to speak as an authority on galf, doesn't believe. as most cri. tics do, that the fantastic scores of the Sneads the Hogans the Nelsons the Littles and the like Is largely due to the improvement in golf ing equipment. He admits that steel-shaped clubs, q livelier ball, and the sand wedge have helped In the almost complete destruction of par, but considers such things of secondary importance.
 Modern Idea
 '"The big reason for the low scores of today" Hagen said as Bimini dropped behind us," lies in the dif- ferent objective that golfers of to- day have when they step on the tee. fN my day Vardon and his ac- curacy was our pattern. We wanted to hit the ball straight, and where content to get down in par, because par has always been good enough to win. Then, just as in baseball Finesse was supplanted by slugging and the boys went In for the spec tacular. And If you have enough guys trying to be spectacular-that Is trying to make the longest car- ries and hitting every shot right for the flag - two or three or four of them are bound to make 1t come off, and get sensational scores.
 Soon all the golfers knew they had to do this or run the risk of hav- ing the gamblers pull down the money and the titles. So they all started playing like desperadoes, and this kept up until that sort of golf when he was behind and the holes started running out. And Q lot plaaR nADHO Dp... ..xbu A s,u< sN ' r,u,,S

WARNS MOISTURE
THREAT TO GRAIN

With Montana's grain harvesting
season now on and with all indica-
tons pointing II increased storage OF
the crop on farms. Ralph d. Mercer
extension agronomist at Montana State
college. warns farmers OF the dangers
Of storing grain having a high mos
ture content.
Under present harvesting methods
with combines, wheat is seldom ripened
evenly over the entire field at harvest
time, Mercer said. The crop is likely to
have a high moisture content. Since
most farm storage is not equipped
for turning wheat. part Of this dis
advantage may be overcome by proper
ventilation.
Research indicates wheat can be
stored safely in tight, unyentilated
bins II the moisture content is 10 per-
cent or less" he said. If ventilation
is provided, wheat with Is TO IA
percent Of moisture can be safely
stored. If moisture content is over Ia
percent, wheat should not be placed in
permanent storage"
When wheat with a high moisture
content is stored, it heats and insect
damage becomes more of a problem.

free of guilt or accusation.
At last he scared himself back to
reality. To make sure that he was
alive, he ran to the clothes closet and
found the money, all Of it, though 1t
was harder to get out than to slip in.
While he fished for the last of it
his telephone rang. 1t was Sheldon
Brown. He apologized for giving Todd
such a bad evening. but sheepishly
confessed that he and Nina had made
up Mr.. Todd must not misunderstood
the poor girl. If he knew her as Shell

But returning to business. Brown
said he had taken the precaution to
telephone New York before buying his
ticket and had learned that the bank
rupt firm they were to deal with had
compromised with its creditors and
was going to continue in business. The
stock was withdrawn from the market
So Brown would not 60 to New York
with Todd, but stay at home with his
adorable Nina.
And now Arthur also had lost his
excuse for going to New York. He
could get home to his beloved wife
and unsullied home. He dashed off a
joyous telegram explaining his sudden
return. At the end of it he remem-
bered his promise to add Nina I'M
seena." But how could he?
To his rescue his memory brought
a line he had heard in an old play:
1T is better to lie a little than to
be unhappy much"
Arthur added to his telegram the
magic words, Nina unseena."

Since she could tell, he had to. OF
course she did not believe a word OF
it. Who ever did believe the truth?
But when he came to his waking
in the arctic gale, his dash for the
window, stumbling over that footstool
and soaring forth into the sky to in
evitable death, she clenched her eye
lids and then clenched her husband
saved by a miracle-and a couple Of
kneecaps When she was calmer, she
said:

the public square rushing up to meet
him from the depths. His one thought
was xvi! Vii"
One knee struck the edge of the
cabinet over the radiator and brought
him down on the window ledge. 1t
was blessedly broad, yet covered with
coat of slippery ice. Afraid to move
and petrified with terror, he hung over
the brink of sheer precipice and
gazed down at swarms of far-off LII
liputians whom he would soon join in
one lance-like plunge.
Though he flinched from immediate
and hidecus death he did not fall. His
kneecaps held him little They we're
between the inner rim of the window
sill and the radiator His toes were
just back of the radiator cabinet. He
was in touch with something firm.
Cautiously he braced his insteps
against the cabinet edge, moved his
arms slowly up and to the rear till he
could lay hold Of the inner window
sill. Then he squirmed and wriggled
and slid backward slowly, slowly, till
his shoulders were in. His head was
in! His eyes were free of that fright
full abyss.
Still inching backward like retreat
ing lizard, he stepped at last on that
nearly fatal footstool and then on the
carpet. Standing by the side of the
window he got it shut before he was
quite CONCEALED. Then he tore his
heavy overcoat off the hook in the
closet, spread it over the bed and
crawled in, hiding himself in a coil
far underneath the blankets till he
had shivered himself warm.
When his teeth had stopped chatter
ing and the ague had ceased in his
palsied sinews, he was so glad just to
be alive that he almost died of the
delight. And then he began to be
frightened all over, and all over again.
When he flew through the window
there had not been time for his past
to sweep through his mind, as 1t is
said to do when men are drowning
But he had time now to imagine his
future-the future that might have
been, would have been if he had gone
an eighth of an inch farther over
the ledge.
His physical future would have been
brief indeed, but he had leisure now
for agonies Of torment as he took up
the inevitable sequence of posthumous
events. He saw it all as something al
ready past beyond recall.
