The tendency OF most golfers Is
to tell of the short puts they
missed following round Of golf
of which they are justifiably proud
not of the long ones they made.
Not so with Marine Master Sergt.

SoftboN Tourney Brings Out
Johnny Poston as q Promoter

1t was inevitable that John
William Poston should be a
sports promoter. The sprightly
gent behind the Central At
lantic .Invitational softball
tournament scheduled Satur-
day and Sunday at Alexan-
dria's Municipal Stadium. has
been active in sports since big
enough to shoot marbles.
Too light to be a star ath-
lete in high school. Johnny be-
came a team manager. The
hours were long. there was no
pay and no glory, but 1t kept
him close to sports. The Boys
Club provided a safety valve
for his pent-up energy In the
form of basket ball team
which he grew up with and
which won championships in
the 100, IFS and 130-pound
classes.
His love of football would
have been blighted completely
if Tom Gearty hadn't organ
lied a 135-pound eleven at
Merrick Club in 1889. Poston
was the little squirt who mas
terminded Toms team through
an undefeated season without
a point being scored against 1t.
Football is his favorite sport.
he says.
No moss grew under Johnny's
feet, economically. He got a
Job in the General Electric's
accounting department and
went to accountancy school two
years to improve his bookkeep-
ing knowledge. But he looked
ahead and saw trouble on the
international horizon and fig
ured he'd better get ready for
it. He became an apprentice
machinist at the Navy Yard
and when the war came along
he knew the business from
threading pipe to boring can
non holes. He was drafted into
the Navy, but sent right back
to his old berth as a chief petty
officer to keep the material
coming.
Working didn't completely
interfere with his education,
although 1t slowed 1t down to
such a pace Johnfly's only fear
is folk will think he's a junior
size tramp athlete. When he
landed on the midnight-to-8
am. shift at the Navy Yard, he
took advantage of 1t to attend
classes during the day at VIII
son Teachers College. He was
smart and clever enough, too,
to make the varsity basket bah
team. discovering that his s.
foot-5. 135-pound frame was
no handicap setting up plays
and moving the ball around.
A year later Johnny trans
ferred to American University
and helped the Eagles win
their first Mason-Dixon Con-
ference basket ball champion
ship. BY that time he made up
his mind to plunge completely
into sports. probably as a
coach, and decided to complete
work for q physical education
degree as quickly as possible.
He enrolled at George Wash
ington University and has one
semester to go before getting

take a masters degree at

OKLAHOMA CITY. June IL
Trying TO pick the winner OF the

The Nations best golfers set
out today in first-round match
play and ~ amateurs seemed a
good bet to dispense with the
pros as the game moved on to its
payod stations later this week.
The luck Of the draw placed
Patty and the Babe In select spots
for what should be an easy Jour-
ney into second-round play.

Mrs. Zaharias drew Mary Louise

Misses Reed and Cordingley are
inexperienced in tournament play
and a victory for either would be
a major upet.
Grace LencZyk. the National
Amateur champion from Newing-
ton, Conn, is the logical choice
to deprive Miss Berg Of the title

year. Patty beat the Babe, / up.

world with her nine-under- par SO

Sniff Expert Called to Help
Police Solve Perfume Puzzle

ATLANTA. - Samples of a per
fume cache believed to be worth
$50. 900 to $50, 900 were on the way
to New York for evaluation by a
professional sniffer."
Detective Sgt. Bill Lyle said the
police hope an expert can determine
the actual value Of the perfume and
perhaps tell where it was manufac-
tured.
The perfume-3OO 41k-ounce bot
tles-was found in an Atlanta hotel
room. Lyle said local perfume deal
ers believe the unlabeled bottles
contain an expensive perfume made
In France. They estimated its value
at from $3.50 to $22 an ounce, but
referred police to a New York X
pert.
The detective said the perfume
was found in a room rented to a
man who paid his hotel bill but left
town owing other bills totaling 500.
Lyle theorized that the perfume
was smuggled into this country
since no tax stamps were on the
bottles.

Joe cannon's Bargain Coat
Brings Very Little Profit

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Uncle Joe
Cannon, former speaker of the
house. was a VIGOROUSLY shabby
dresser.
Thinking that he should dress up
to his position, his sister tried to
persuade him to buy a new ~overcoat
so. finally, one day on his way to the
capitol, he stopped in a clothing
store, priced garments and found
%overcoats for $35 each. Indignantly
he marched out, announcing he
could not be that extravagant.
When the late Senator Watson,
who was present, reported this to
Cannon's sister that evening, she
secretly handed him SIS with the
request that he visit the store and
slip it surreptitiously to the over
coat man, thereby automatically re-
ducing the price to $40. She then
persuaded Uncle Joe to stop again
and price the garment, which he
did. Discovering the cost was now
$40 instead of S35, he bought one
and wore it to his Office on the hill.
One of his confreres, impressed,
saw it and remarked:
you have a new overcoat, Uncle
Joe. I would like to try it on"
Finding it fitted, he turned to his
friend and said:
"In give you $25 for it, spot
cash"
Speaker Cannon, thinking that he
was making a shrewd bargain and
a quick profit, accepted, put on his
old coat and went home, reporting
the developments to his sister, much
to her dismay.

compartment has reduced the
center of gravity of the car, re-
sulting in greater stability on

Further, the lowered floor and
wider doors permit easier en-

Another important factor in
better reliability is the adop-
ton at the front and rear of d.

wartime service. Front suspen-

A new steering geometry will
