Houston Golf Star
Takes Over Lead

BY the Assosio,ed Pres.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Mar
S.-Jack Burke, jr.. Of Houston
Tex. the sensation Of the winter
golf circuit, had a fourth straight
tournament almost in the bag to-
night.
The consistent Texan. playing 8
near perfect tune with his irons
and putter, sped around the
6,233 yard Lakewood Country
Club course today In 65, seven
under par. That gave him a 54-
hole total Of 200 and a fat six
stroke lead with just 18 holes
to go.
Yesterdays leader, Cary Middle
con OF Memphis, Tenn, wilted
under the torrid pace, taking a
73 for 206 to fall into a second
place tie with AL Besselink of
Chicago.
Leader Of PGA List.
Thus Burke stood within SEEM
tngly easy reach Of his fourth
consecutive $4,000 first prize.
In the three weeks before COM
Ing to Florida, the handsome. 20
year-old Texan swept the Texas
Open. Houston Open and Baton
Rouge Open to shoot to the top of
the PGA money winning list with
$6,720.
He was in trouble only once to-
day as he wiped out the two
stroke margin Middleton gained
In yesterdays second round. At
the short par 3 seventh, Burke
overshot the green and then
putted twice for a 4.
With that single mistake out of
his system. Burke settled down.
He nailed 20-foot puts for brides
at the eighth and ninth to make
the turn in 33, three under par.
A 15-foot putt gave him an
other birdie at the 10th but his
irons were the major factor the
rest Of the way. His approaches
were so deadly he had easy puts
Tor brides at the 18th, 18th and
10th.
Middleton was frequently in
distress. He started well with
a birdie 8 on the first hole when
q 140-yard iron shot landed four
inches from the cup.
His troubles began at the par 4
third hole. He took a five when
he was forced to hit his second
shot from behind a palm tree and
his third from a sand trap.
Scores 81 on First Nine.
He was a stroke over par with
81 on the first nine and three
over after knocking his tee shot
out Of bounds at the 18th to wind
up with six.
Besselink got away to shakyI
start by slicing his tee shot into
the rough and taking a one over
par 5 on the first hole. He picked
up brides at the second and third
TO cover the front nine in IS, one
under par. and played straight

English literature the legend of

gave her name TO street in the

The most recent illustration is
John Hersey's The Wall. When it
appeared in 1850, this imaginative
recreation of the Battle of the

lodged to be a most valuable epic
of Jewish heroism. The Jewish
Book Council of America confer
red upon it the highest award as
the best Jewish book of the year.
Yet John Hersey is not a Jew.
It's. therefore. obvious that a

designation.

TN 1916, veteran newspaperman Stanley

In the years since, have had my small
triunphs, ranging from the gladstone Janola
Cocanose (who sat behind me in third grade)
to the incantation-like Boyle O'Boyle "a
Boston lawyer; from the ornate James w.
G. Bodfsh (also lawyer) to the utterly
simple Pearl Button (of Melrose, Mass.).
More recently, l opened my office mail
one morning to discover communication
from the Office of Philippine Ambassador
Carlos P. Romulo, signed by his private
secretary. Miss Anastasia Dragon. This was
enough to make mans day! But to top it
off, opened my newspaper on the train
home and learned that $35-a-week subway

Harvard Yale Pinsleeg
In NAAdE-HUNTING, gold is where you find
it, but there seem to be some areas that are
slightly more productive than Others. Lists
of college graduates often yield up rich de-
posits, such as the class Of 1927 at Harvard.
This provides both Napoleon Lovely and
a Harvard Yale Pinsker, the latter appar-
entity the product of severely torn loyalties.
The annual report of Psi Upsilon fraternity
for the year 1850 gives us M. Fidelis Bunk,
whom mentioned before. Reminiscent of
heavy object dropping into a rain bar
rel, this name may have the makings of
greatness.
Lawyers appear to have more than their
share of excellent names. One of the great
finds of recent years was the late Hyacinthe
Ringrose, who is always mentioned rever-
entity whenever two neumenophiles meet.
People who get run down by automobiles
tend to be interesting too. Witness the l8-

society beauty; or the recent Socialist can
didate for President, Darlington Hopes.
Such gems must not be passed over without
proper relish and acclaim.
It is easy to become neumenophile, but
few of us make the attempt. It's shame,
too. for the joys and thrills are exquisite,
and it's even cheaper than collecting match
books. For instance, just the other day l
was lunching with friend who went to high
school with me and he mentioned that one
of our old chums had recently married girl
named Lillian Stepladder. 1t was hard to
contain myself. wrote it down with trem-
bling hand, and felt every bit as elated as
bird lover who happened upon whooping
crane in his back yard.

Or COURSE, do not pretend that Lillian
Stepladder is anything more than minor
gem. 1t is no A. Token Worm. (The late
Mr.. Worm was Broadway press agent; one
cannot hear the name without catching his
breath in wonder at what enormity the "A"
might have stood for) But Lillian Step
ladder is fine example of the kind of treas
ure that even the rank amateur can pick up
in his spare time.
I think my own interest in neumenology
dates back to grammar school days, when
my father hired furnace man with the
powerful name of Oliver Bombard. Though
