RAIN SURE TO AID STARS IN
 NATIONAL OPEN
Many Disagree as to Prob. able Winning Score;
 Plenty of Trouble Due
BY JACQUES D'ARNfANSD United Peas stan Corregpondent)

8Y JACQUES UANmAND United Peas Stan Corfespondent)
 Fort Worth, Tex, June 3--(UP)- A cloudburst revived hopes today of low scores in the National Open golf tournament.
 Before two inches of rain fell yes- terday on the Colonial club course, some of the best golfers i1 the busi- ness had considered their chances of par-busting lower than Q desert water hole h August.
 The greens had been sprinkled, and 1t had been planned to lot them dry out before the tournament opening Thursday. Before the cloud burst, the sun had hardened the thin sod on the five-year.old greens until several were hard to pitch to and slippery to putt over.
 That worried the veterans as much as the narrow fairways and the deep, tangled rough.
 Today that was changed. The sod won't have time to crush before Thursday. Green play will be iT1i- proved. and with heavy fairwayS, there will be leSs danger of long, slightly hooked tee shots rolling in- to the inurderous rough.
 Rain Helped
 The sharpsf1ooterS rolled up their pants after the rain and fired sev- eral fast rounds that indicated what the new conditions may do for their score sheets. The best was Harold (Jug) Mcspaden's 66. Willie Tur- nesa and Lloyd Mangrur turned in 69s. Even the cldsters. like Apo EspinoSa, out for tho first time, shot around par 70.
 Those fellows, lilso Jimmy Dema- ret and Craig Wood, who have been predicting c winning four rounds of even par or little better, are sticking to their stories. and high score prophets are revising theirs downward.
 The average guess is still around 283 or 204 over the par 280 distance, with old timers like George Won Elm and 0lin Dutra leading the gloomy ones.
 Critic
 Won Elm is the most outSpoken of many critics of Colonial course construction. He still would like to take 6 20 Sand stay in the club- house during the tournament.
 A controversy over the newly coTi- structed fourth and fifth holes. which some golfers had contended were not in shape. apparently was settled when Harold w. Pierce, president cf the United States Golf ers' association, and Francis Dey. Jr.. executive secretary, okayed them.
 Francis ouimet, acting secretary of the championship committee, said the fifth hole, bordered by the clear fork of the Trinity river on the left, end a wooded ravlne on the right, was one of the finest he he'd ever seen. It is par four. 4e9- yard hole, and the pride of Marvin Leonard. president of Colonial. The fourth is par three, 220 yards.

How Lou Cehrig
 "Made The Majors
By LOU GEHRIG

GAS told to John P. McCann)
 All the while l was going to high school and college I wanted to be 0 major league ball player and al- ways had Q craving to play some day with one of the New York teams. I didn't think it would ever come about, though, and after 1t really happened I can, in a way, sec how unreasonable my young dreams were, for 1t was a long step, And yet, they did come true,
 Tn 1919 and 20, when I played on the Commerce High School team, of New York City, used to slip out to the Polo grounds every chance that came and knew every one of the big stars by sight, After I got Into Columbia University l tried for the first team, but soon had to quit school to go to work. In 1923 went back to Columbia and then made tho varsity.
 At the end of the 1923 college schedule, one of the New York Yankee scouts came to the Colum- bia athletic field,
 "Gehrig," he said, "the Tanks have been watching you for some time, Will you sign Q contract with us?"
 Would HP certainly would, and In June of 1923 I joined the Yanks'
 What q thrill 1t was for me to walk into the Yankees clubhouse and find myself in the midst of the stars whom I had watched from far distant bleacher seats! Cluttered about the lockers were Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Bullet" Joe Bush, Sam Jones, W,lly Pipp, Aaron Ward, Everett Scott, Whitey Witt, Home Run Baker, Wally Schang, Joe Dug an-every one great start What 6 treat this was!
 didn't get to stay in this com pany of stars very long however and twice was shipped to the Hart- ford team for seasoning" I kept fighting though, and in the autumn of 1924 was recalled by Manager Huggins. This time I stayed with those stars who on that June day when I first walked into the Tanks locker room gave me the greatest moment of my life.

 Ask Gene Sarazen to name his greatest thrill in golf and he undoubtedly would say sinking Q spoon second on the 18th hole of gusta in 1885 for double eagle.
 I didn't see that shot, but did see one I thought was the out standing one the Connecticut squire ever made or wil ever make. It climaxed IS holes of golf for 6 total round 10 66 to win the National Open of 1882, played at Fresh Meadow.
 Sarazen had . card that showed five birdies, yet this particular shot played no part in any birdie. The shot came on the final hole as the unruly crowd all but closed approach to the green. No wonder that the little Italians second found the trap to the right.
 sarazen showed the lest con- cern as he walked to the ball, se- lected a heavy niblick, now known as . dynamiter or plaster, and laid the ball five feet from the cup. Then with the gallery surrounding him with just enough room left to putt, he sank the five-footer for a par four, an is- hole total of 6e which tied the then existing low mark of 200 set by Chick Evans in 1916.

 Not Born Player
 Gehrig was not born ball player. He acquired skill by perseverance and plodding. While 8 freshman at Columbia, John J. McGraw looked him over and was not impressed with his possibilities. In 1923 Geh- rig hooked up with the Tanks, fresh out of Columbia. He got $3,5OO for signing, and the money went to help his dad who hadn't worked for six months, and his mother who had been Ill for a long time.
 When Gehrig went to camp With the Tanks in 1924, he had only SIP and tried to get a part-time lon jerking sodas" to help pay his m- cidental expenses. But Miller Hug gins discovered the predicament and arranged a loan. Later Gehrig's salary rose to as high as SSs.OOO a year and in all he collected nearly s400,OO0 in salaries and World Series cuts.

Scripture, a. has often been said,

devil quoted it in his temptation of
Jesus, but Jesus refuted it, quoting
Scripture with nobler purpose and
better effect.
Those who have used the Bible
against advocates of temperance
and to uphold the use OF alcoholic
liquor as a beverage have to con-
tend against some bitter Biblical in
dictments. These are based upon
the evidence of the evil and misery
that have inevitably been in the
wake of the use of strong drink.
The opening verse of our lesson
is n Of these. 1t is strong and
devastating in it's pronouncement
"Woe unto him that siveth his
neighbor drink" and it is scathine
in it's characterization of the results
when alcohol has taken away mans
ordinary reason and restraint.
