Wutler Hagen barely saved his
golf match with Arctiie Com ps ton

As Hagen was In a hopeless po

one hole this afternoon lo win, it
was annonnced that the two men
will play an exhibition match after
Compston finally clinches the vic
tory. AH through the 18 holes, Hagen
fought heroically, but the lanky
Englishman never gave him the:
ghost of a chance. Compston went:
around in par figures of 70 against
Hagen's 74. j
Never before had Hagen suM
fered such a defeat nor hud the!
major golf world stum one Mar do-!

Compston excelled in driving j

At the same time, tho senate

of Colonel Charles A. UmlhersU

This was tho first time the gov

after Senator Iilea le, democrat, of

commotion hy objection to "this

gone far enough."
The cross would be awarded to

Senator Robinson, democrat,
