In the succeeding years, Miss
Jarvis spent every penny Of the
moderate fortune LETT by her
mother in establishing Mothers
Day as deep-rooted American
tradition. During these years, too,
she cared for her younger sister
Elsie, blind since birth.
The carnation was suggested
as official Mothers Day flower
by Anna Jarvis because it had
been her mothers favorite. Grad
ually the custom developed OF
wearing red carnations to honor
living mothers, and white bouton-
nieres for deceased mothers.
In 1943, small group OF her
friends and admirers was shock
ed to discover that Anna Jarvis
was penniless, III, and nearly
blind. They Immediately placed
her in Marshall Square sanator-
ium in West Chester, Pa, where
she was comfortably cared fol
during her declining years.

PARENTf1ESIS
In the first paragraph above,
Avenue c appeared in parenthe-
sis. That of course was only a
stratagem to make you read the
rest of the column in hope Of an
explanation. One Of the chief to-
pics at the meeting was the ques-
ton of the name of that thor
oughfare. Regardless Of who may
disagree, it is my contention thai
if the large majority of the people
on that street want to call it
Wall street or Hollywood ave-
nue. or Market street, their wishes
should carry weight.

Jay Wolf, Competing
For Last Time, Wins
Junior Golf Crown

Three years ago Frank Emmet
decided the junior golf program
needed an added touch, so he
added a pre-school match play
tournament and boosted the age
limit to a maximum Of 20, where
most of the local Junior affairs
bar youngsters over II.
Emmet's theory is that boys over
II but under 81 still are juniors,
so why bar them to competition
and forget about them just be-
cause they've had an 18th birth
day.
In this match play tournament,
where five rounds are necessary
to determine a champion, the older
boys appear to have the best OF 1t.
The first winner was Marvin
(Bubby) Worsham, then a Wake
Forest freshman. Last year it
was Alan Weisberg. a Georgetown
freshman. Yesterdays winner was
Jay Wolf, 20-year-old Boston Uni
versity sophomore, playing in the
event for the last time. Worsham
didn't play because he had date
in the National Amateur. and
Weisberg is over the age limit.
Jay Wolf, always threat in
local junior competition, but never
a winner, waited until his very
last chance, but he won decisively
His semifnal victim was 14-year-
old Oliver (Kay) Fletcher, one OF
the top juniors of the season, by
4-and-3 margin, and he romped
over Bobby Wolfe in the final, 4
and 8, after leading 6 up at the
turn.
Bobby Wolfe had won the medal
in a playoff, won two extra-hole
mtaches the first day and was
taken to the 18th before beating
Willie Beach. 2 up, in the other
semifinal yesterday. He just
wasn't up to it in the final until
he became 6 down. He won three
holes back, but that was only half
enough.
His conqueror. Jay Wolf. hopes
to play on the Boston U. golf team
next year and his triumph will
boost his chances.
The second flight went to Bar
ney Dreyfuss, who had a bad
qualifying round but played well
in the match play rounds and de-
feated Leo Cullinane, jr., 2 and l.
in the final.
In the flight for the little fell
lows, 13 and under, Larry Spell

no doubt who is big boss of the
Chicago White Sox Comiskey clan.
It's 23-year-old Charles Comiskey.

However, there is considerable
doubt whether Jack Onslow, the

will be field boss of the
team next season. But Onslow
won't quit and a nifty rhubarb
is on.
Onslow tried to work squeeze
play on the subject this week. He
invited all the feminine members
of the Comiskey family and the
clubs legal adviser to dinner
meeting to discuss his 1850 status.
The dinner never developed. But
a crisp speech by young Comiskey
did. Taking cognizance that On
slow did not invite him or General
Manager Frank Lane with whom
Onslow has been feuding season.
long to the dinner, Comiskey sum-
moned reporters and announced
that he is completely satisfied with
Lanes work as general manager
and believes Onslow has performed
to "the best of his ability" but
has an open mind" regarding
Onslow's retention for the re-
mainder of his two-year contract.
when I took Office last Sep
tember," Charles declared, moth
er told me I was to run the club.
I hired Frank Lane as I hired
Jack Onslow. I'll continue to do
the hiring and firing. II Onslow

But Onslow was not Modified.
