hundred dollars richer in cash today

relationships following dinner at

Virginia club last night to celebrate
Dawes 20 years of loyal service to
the links organization.
Davie did all right with his speech,
too. When they had finished eulo-
gizing him to the skies, he rose and
told the world how happy he is to
work for such a fine organization as
that at Washington.
Dawes 20-year term OF service to
the Washington club is surpassed
only by Freddie Mcleod, who is in
his 29th year at Columbia. Dave
was born in Montrose, Scotland, in
April. 1892. and came to this country
in 1915, after having been turned
down by the British Army for serv-
ice in Word War No. l. After jobs
with Bob Mcdonald at Buffalo, at
the White Bear Yacht Club of st.
Paul, and the New Orleans Country
Club, he went to Highlands, N. J. He
entered the Canadian Army in June,
1918, and was demobilized in Febru-

A winning streak doesn't have
much chance in the kind of battle
that is going on in the upper half
of the International League these
days.
Two notable streaks have been
compiled within the past week or
so, but they were shattered just
when it looked as if they might
carry the successful clubs some
where.
The Buffalo Bisons devoted Sun
day to wrecking Syracuse'S string
of II in row, and last night their
own victory string was broken off
after seven games by the Rochester
Red Wings. And as a result of
Rochester's 4-2 victory, the Bisons
slipped back into third place, few
percentage points behind the idle
Montreal Royals, while Rochester
wound up only a half game behind
this pair.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. June "a
Stanford's team, and 19-year old
Earl Stewart of Louisiana State,
had to look back over their shoulders
today to see the rest of the field
as they entered the final 18-hole
round of the 44th national intercol-
legiate golf qualifier and team
championship race.
Stewart, bespectacled, freckled
and red-headed, chopped four
strokes off par with brilliant 68
yesterday over Ohio States fine lay
out to snatch a two-stroke lead in
the race for the medal.
Bobby Brownell, Southern inter-
collegiate champion from Duke and
a native of Washington, D. c.,

of Georgetown University. Brownell
was three over par on the outgoing
nine with 80, but matched regulation
figures on the return trip with So.
Stanford Pair Have los.
Stanford. seeking to erase the
record of COL it set in 1888, used
only 285 strokes in getting its four
man team around the course in the
squad event, building up a nine
stroke lead over Louisiana State.
Two of Stanford's stars, Charles
Finger and Dee Replogle, were in a
tie for second with two underpar
70s, but the 150-pound Stewart, who
lives in Dallas, Tex, played yester-
day as if he would be hard to catch.
Just week ago Stewart removed
a cast from broken collarbone
which had kept him off the links
for seven weeks. He suffered the
injury in a fall from a horse and
put in his first practice strokes
Friday for the tournament.
Gene Sarazen, top-notch profess
sional, watched Stewart skim
around the course with five brides
and a single bogey and wondered:
MY, what would that boy do If
he broke both collarbones?"
Nine Shoot Below Par.
With 9 of the field of 1863 start
ers winning a decision over par,
and 80 having scores of 78 or bet
ter, indications were that the 1855
at the end of today's play would
have to go extra holes to decide
some of the 64 match-play posi-
tionS.
F. Dixon Brooke of Virginia, the
defending champ. was among those
with 78, while Alex Welsh of Illi-
nois. the Big Ten king, and Robert
w. Brownell of Duke, the South
ern intercollegiate ruler, had 75s.
Back of Stanford and L. S. U. in
the team fight were Ohio State, with
297; Illinois, 1893; Texas, 3o4; Duke
305; Notre Dame, 306; Georgetown
307; Wisconsin, 308; Virginia, 300
and Northwestern, 310.
Match play starts tomorrow and
continues through Saturday.
