T . . u Ho of the queer putting stance, ad mittedly playing the best game of a title-bedecked career, yesterday post , ed a. course record Tor the 72-par distance at 68 to amass the short total of 133 after 36 holes, six strokes advantago over par. Dapper Charles (Beau) Ouest of Deal, N. J., ouq who has been un used to keeping pace In such expert company, was right on the trail of the fast traveling toreador of this Mexican course, cracking out a de termined 60 yesterday to better his sub-par 71 of tho first round for a 140, two strokes behind, ,, Three Others Under Par But it was still -very much of contest, as one of the most serious contenders, Gene Sarozen, a great money player In any country, paced par, step for step yesterday, shooting t 72 which with his 70 on Wednes day gave him third at 142-. But this was not all. Harry Cooper, the confident former Texan, now of Chicago, and Fred Morrison. Culver City, Cal., mudder, who held the upper hand, after the first eighteen holes, were close to the top with 143's. Light Horse Harry had a 71 . on the second round and par 72 on the start. Morrison couldn't locate the greens with his Irons yesterday. And after ho did find them his putts wouldn't go down. As a result he ended up with a 74. two over perfect and five strokes removed from, his first round score. , Kumon Cards G8 . Diesel's was not the only 68 yes terday. . Paul Runyon of White Plains, N. V., one of the rising gen eration, surprised everyone, includ-, lug himself, with two nine hole cards of 34, each two strokes to the good over par. Tho threats did not end with the 143s. , Tied with Runyon at 144 was Walter Hogen, who appears to be in the best fonn of any of his annual western invasions. Tho Halg missed a long putt by Inches for .a 60 yes terday, to score 74-70 for tho 36 holes. Ho Is playing his approaches well and his putting is the best he has yet displayed In these parts.

Christmas Golf Dazzling Billy plays golf whonover ho gets tho chance. During the Christmas holiday season, his fattier says, he shot "great golf," He was eight un j tier, par for four rounds, , Ho likes swimming and dancing. 1 Ho stands well up In his class as a student. After leaving Washington and Leo 'ho expects to enter business with his father, a hardwares mcrch- ant. Hilly survived his "big year"- and all tho tumult of heme town en thusiasm for .his exploits without having .his head turned. He was just as much surprised when he got homo to get n tremendous welcome and tho gift of a new car, as he was to step bashfully into tho press tent at Beverly lost September and find tho experts writing thousands of words about him. His friendly "Bos well." Paul Ferris, helped him over tho hurdles of publicity. Howell Confident Confidence on any golf course, plus ability to concentrate, is typical of this youthful star. Going to tho 34th and next to last hole of his match with Ouimet, Howell remarked to a friend an U. S. G. A. official: "J.'m not licked yet." Ho was ono down. A screaming Iron split the pin and the hole was halved. Billy is out for more trophies this reason. Graduation will prevent a defense of his middle Atlantic title, but ho will defend his old dominion and Virginia amateur crowns. Ho also expects to enter the Southern couferenco tournament, the inter collc(;lates, tho Southern amateur and National amntcur.

Deafness and Head Noises From Catarrh If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises caused by catarrh, if your nostrils are clogged or if phlegm crops in your throat causing catarrh of the stomach or bowels, secure proper treatment at once. Otherwise you may Jose your I health, become a wornout catarrhal wreck with your smell, taste and hearing completely gone. Sprays, salves and Inhalers may bring you temporary rcller. but per manent escape from this dangerous, health-sapping, disgusting disease can only come from a constitutional treatment that will expel the ca tarrhal poison from your system.

'I won't sign that thing," said Ruth. "I think I'm worth the other ! $10,000 after the season I had. I ' haven't heard of them reducing the , admission prices." j The homo run star indicated he'd ; sign a contract for $80,000 for , ono j year or a two-year contract at $70,-1 000. . Col. Jacob Ruppert, at least at ( present, is unperturbed by 'Ruth's refusal to accept the Yankees first offer. M'BRIDE WARNS THE DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page One) (Continued Prom Page One) Ho told the board congressional tests so far had been mostly on mat ters of enforcement rather than pro hibition.' He warned "even a major ity of 221 in both houses of congress does not mean absolute security." McBride urged v ft vigorous fight against resubmitting the prohibition question to the states. The league opens ats 26th con vention tonight. Speaking Of The Weather (Continued Prom Page One) that his father was author of this asinine production). . j 3. "Rain follows a big battle." (It has also been known to follow a dog fight.) Think of the drenching downpours our soldiers had to en dure in Prance during the World war all due to the violent cannon ading.

Abnormal weather (any where on earth) during the war was caused by tho dlschargo of explo-, slvcs. if you would believe these weather seers. " . . 4. "When the sun "crosses the line' In spring and autumn we gen-! crally have an equinoctial storm." Well, so do we have Easter lilies somewhere around Easter: which Is even more remarkable, because East er is not confined to a fixed date, while an equinox is. or nearly so. j 5. "Indian summer is a defenlte ' event in the calendar, following an equally definite 'squaw winter." In; Europe they tie down to a particular date, which differs, however, from ono country to another.
