Pose and BIasi Point
To Reception Given
Them by Yankees
Make Big Hit in U. S., Say
U. S. Stors Are Popular
In Their Country
BY ROMNEY WHEELER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Feb. a.
Two Argentine lnksmen today ad-
vocated an exchange of South Amer
golfers as a means of promoting
hemisphere neighborliness on the
golf links.
MARITIME Pose and Eduardo Blast,
who came from Buenos Aires to
compete with North American ex-
perts on the winter tournament cir
cult. said pros might be exchanged
by larger clubs on plan similar to
that for university students.
Pose rated their own reception as
a good example of this country's
hospitality.
Everybody Likes Them"
Throughout their tour, he said,
competing pros, tournament officials
and casual acquaintances have taken
exceptional pains to assist them and
provide entertainment.
Likewise, he added, United States
pros who have appeared in Argen-
tina such as Johnny Revolta, Harold
McSpaden, Paul Runyan. Denny
Shute, Byron Nelson and Henry
Picard, were received enthusiastical-
ly. Picard won the Argentine Open
in 1887, Runyan in 1888.
Fred Corcoran, tournament man.
sger for the Professional Golfers
Association, described Pose and
Blasi as "the biggest attraction on
the tour" and said both bring the
house down" when they accept in
vitations to luncheons and other
functions.
Everybody likes them" he said
land the galleries are crazy about
them. Pose can talk with his eyes.

ing"
Give Birthday Party for Pose.
Bing Crosby played golf with
them with they competed in his
tournament on the Pacific Coast.
Fellow pros gave a party for Pose
at New Orleans when they learned
it was his birthday.
Both have been invited to play
In the forthcoming Miami inter-
tional four-ball championships, the
Goodall tournament in New York
and the Augusta masters tourna-
ment.
1t is Poses second visit to the
United States within a year. He
played in the masters and the
United States Open last year.
Pose is professional at the Itusain-
go Country Club, IS miles west of
Buenos Aires. Blasi is pro at the
Hindu Country Club, 18 miles
northwest of the city. There are
80 courses. Pose said, within 25
miles of the capital.

Ai|ing Strong of Cards Beaten
In Ring, but Surprises Coach
That He Could Fight at All

but Gerry wouldn't hear of it. He
wanted to fight and since he's cap
tain of the team and it was our
last home match didn't have
the heart to keep him out.
Sure his timing was bad, but
that was to be expected because he
couldn't box in training. How he
moved around the way he did-you
remember how he chased Cox the
entire three rounds-is mystery to
me because his feet were covered
with blisters. And every time he
tried to use his left it must have
felt as if somebody were laying a
hot poker on the elbow. No, he
couldn't do much with it, but I was
surprised he even could hold it up,
"I don't have to mention this be-
cause that match is ancient history
now, but I thought I would in fair
ness to Gerry. He's game fellow
and he can take his lickings along
with the victories, but he had good
reason for losing to Cox, who isn't
anybody's fool with a pair of boxing
gloves on his hands"
Strang's blisters can be blamed
on an unnamed intramural ringman
who borrowed Gerry's training shoes
for road work and failed to return
them. The Cards use specially
weighted brogans on the road so
that when they 60 in the ring their
tootsies are as light as the proverbial
feather. Strang, consequently, bor-
rowed Gus Gersin's shoes and that
was a mistake. Gerry has a dainty
71A hoof and Gersin broader No. 9
and that's where thr rub came in.
La Fond Has a Twin"
La Fond, incidentally, didn't know
whether Gersin would be available
for the match or not as he didn't
begin training until Thursday.
There was some comment on the
brother acts in the corners during
the bouts. Toiling over the Colum-
bus gladiators were Coach Nc
Namara and his brother Francis. In
the opposite corner were La Fond
and his "twin," Dave Bernstein. As
one wag cracked:
"They are enough alike to be
twins. Eddie has little weight on
Dave, but Bernstein has q little
more hair and that makes It even"

Michael wanted to smash his fist
into that face.
Take it easy, Ryan. You're all
right now"
The face above him took an un-
familiar shape. Michael saw that
the man wore a policeman's uni
form. Michael said, "Donovan!''
and forced himself up to his feet.
His head ached and throbbed, his
knees were weak. He saw that the
apartment door stood open, and
that the rooms within were lighted.
He stumbled inside, but the living
room was empty, so, too, was the
bedroom beyond, and the bath and
the kitchen.
The policeman had followed. He
pointed at the door across the small
kitchen. He went down that way"
he said Il was watching on the
street, and he didn't come out the

Michael couldn't suppress groan.
you won't get him here" he said,
and because he was desperately
worried about Joan his voice was
savage.
An hour later Michael arrived
at the big house on Knob Hill. He
felt better and the doctor had as
sured him that the gun had struck
him glancing blows, which saved him
from serious injury, but he was
being driven by an uncomfortable
anger.
The March butler ushered him
into the study and Judson March
was there pacing back and forth In
a red-faced rage. Macklin, the Fed
eral man, stood looking at Diane,
who was seated, rigid and pale, on
the sofa.
Michael ignored Judson March
and Macklin. He went straight to
Diane. He saw that she looked
frightened, but resolute and defiant.
He said, Diane, you're going to
talk. You're going to tell every
thing you know. You can't shield

river from the airplane factory.
Michael and Macklin were COM
ing from the Knob Hill house when
Chief Mcguire and two policemen
drove up. Mcguire was visibly ex-
cited.
"a man named Gray phoned,
Mike. He said you'd know. He
wants you to bring some cops out
to the Beevens farm. where he
phoned from. He says he knows
where Donovan is"
Gray was waiting at the farm
house gate. He said in his mild
way. Our monitor stations picked
up that illegal call letter and head
quarters flashed the tip to me. The
call came on at regular intervals
all afternoon and a couple times
tonight. 1 followed it to a boat
house about a mile from here. My
partner is there watching"
Find Hideout.
Gray suggested that they leave
the cars and go on afoot, to avoid
being seen from a distance. They
walked along narrow lane over
grown with weeds and came upon
the other F. c. c. man standing IN
the darkness beside Gray's car in a
clump of trees. The boathouse stood
beyond at the rivers edge. The
windows of the building were
boarded shut; it looked deserted.
There was no car, no one IN sight.
Gray introduced his companion as
Jim Borden. And Borden said, Il
got the call few minutes ago. The
speaker was calling the letter Dick
March had been using. 1t went off
the air almost at once when wom-
ans voice broke in"
Michael said, That was Joan
Halliday" and his voice broke.
Macklin had an automatic pistol
in his hand and he gave low-voiced
instructions. They would, he said,
make q dash for the boathouse. He
explained how they should close in.
Mcguire and his two men were, of
course, armed. So, too, were the
two F. c. C. men. Michael had no
gun. but he intended to be with
them.
They moved from the cover of
the trees, tanning out. The boat
house was sharply outlined in the
moonlight. Michael kept his eyes on
the door and as he moved forward
he thought of the woman's voice
Borden had heard. Joan, he knew,
must have risked Donovan's rage to
call for help over the radio. He
knew she must have taken the risk
in desperation.
One Fugitive Shot.
Macklin said, Lets go!" And they
all broke into run. Half way
they saw the door open and man
ran out. 1t was the Spaniard, Cor
dova. He ran toward a thicket on
the far side of the clearing. Mack
lin called to him to halt and he
whirled and fired a gun. Macklin's
automatic began exploding, kept
firing until the clip was empty. Cor
dova's legs buckled and he sprawled
on his face. One Of the policemen
ran to him.
Michael reached the doorway,
ignored Maguire's shouted warning
and plunged into a dimly lighted
room. The place was roughly fur
nished with table, chairs and hunks
and a portable transmitting radio.
Joan sat on one of the hunks, wide
eyed and pale. Donovan sat on a
bunk on the opposite side of the
room, calmly smoking a cigarette.
Michael went to Joan and put his
arms about her. She clung to him
tightly.
Macklin said, We'll, Donovan, the
game is up"
"I guess you're right" Donovan
said, family smiling.

Role of Credit in Defense" declared
that private banking is among the
institutions which must be pre-

on banks in the next few years may
be expected to be on a very large
scale.
Banks should be prepared to take
up Government obligations when
ever the Treasury is temporarily in
need Of funds over and above tax re-

The Governments policy is to avoid
selling securities to the banks as
