I asked him if Bllnkey Horn, his sports editor, was. playing much, these days. ( Mi. Hollow opened his eyes very wide., ('.- "Blinkoy's, not playing at all," BUI replied. '"He's not been playing golf for six years. Hadn't you heard?" I hadn't heard i. anything about Bllnkejr not playing golf. Blinkey was not' precisely a. national figure, in the game, though a distinctly In teresting and " original one, and touch, fun to play with.,, WHY BIJNlifcY QUIT' I asked Mr., Rollow what about it. '"Well,"' said Mr. Hollow, "you re member the sixth hole at the . Belle Meade country club the pretty one shotter, where you drive from, a tee high on . a hiUsicle to a green out lined by a pretty .little Tlvuiet, or a darned dirty , ditch, according . to whether , you get on. the green or In the rivulet. ; ' "Bllnkey was playing this hole. and for the first time In his life, so far as I know, he got his Iron shot over the stream and on the .edge of the green the edge .nearest the stream; ho Just did .get over; But he was on the green. "Old Blinkey was set up1 to fi tfiif- lion. A& we walked across- the little bridge, t remember he was talking about taking some' more lessons and getting down to serious work on the game. "It wasn't such & tcugTi gams, Bllnkey said.

"So he took his putter from the caddy, and walked up to the ball, and studied the line carefully, and took his stance, and addressed the ball, ' and soled the club in front of It, the way Bobby Jones does, and then in taking the club back to start the stroke, he Just knocked the ball backward into the rivulet." , Mr. Rollow paused, for effect. "And then," Mr. Rollow resumed, "and then, without saying a word, Blinkey walked back across the ltttl6 bridge, and dropped a ball. on. the farther side of the rivulet and took his tnlbllck, and. . knocked that ' one Into the stream, and dropped It out, and. knocked it bckjpj again. T.. "lie did this tseveri times." All without saying a word.- Then he got it over on the green, pretty closj to the flag. He had played 16 strokes. He took three putts, holing out In 19, after having been on the green in one stroke. Then he replaced the putter . In the . bag, and walked straight to the clubhouse. He has not played golf since." Mr. Rollow. added that it was Just as well . not to mention the incident to Mr. Horn. "He's pretty much interested In baeoball now, anyway," said Mr. Rollow.

Roger Pecktnpaugh's tribe was run ning a strong second .today, only one game behind the" Wnshlngton Sena tors, afteif winning nine straight against western opposition.. Detroit, In fourth place, also will Invade, the seaboard In an excellent, position. The Indians, who have been win ning largely on sheer offensive pow er, will make their eastern debut against the Athletics Thursday at Philadelphia. Wes Perrell, who has won his first five starts, likely will get the nomination against the Mackmen. ; Two big Innings that netted all their runs gave the tribe a 6 to 6 vic tory over the St. Louis Browns yes terday. . , Senators. Win The leading Senators handed Ver non (Lefty) Gomez his first reverse ojt the year in slugging out a 10 to 3 decision over the Vankces. Joe Cronin Jed the way with a homerun, a double and a triple. Henry John son, an appendicitis victim in the spring, made his first appearance this season when he relieved Gomez in the fifth. He was hit solidly. Jimmy Poxx's homerun in the 11th Inning broke up a mound duel and gave tho Athletics a 3 to 2 triumph over the Boston ; Red Sox.. Lefty Grove, third Athletic hurler, was credited with the win. Sad Sam Jones collapsed after al lowing only four hits in eight In nings, the Detroit Tigers scored five runs In the ninth: and beat out Chi cago, 6 to 3. t , ... Two Pitchers Shine National' league fans were treated to a pair of superb pitching per formances by Sylvester Johnson of St. Louis and Steve Swetonic of Pittsburgh'. Swetonic allowed only three hits in blanking the 'aspiring Chicago Cubs, 2 to 0. while John son let the Cincinnati Reds down with four to win, 2 to 1. Jimmy Collins sixth homerun of the year in the fourth Inning with. Sparky Adams on base enabled John son to get the better of a tight slab duel with Si Johnson of the Reds, who allowed only five hits, himself. All three blows off Swetonic were singles and only one Cub reached second base. The Pirates scored both their runs off Pat Malone in the sixth on two hits, a sacrifice, a pass and Danny Toylor's muff of Dugas Da'zzy Vance's' tight" pitching -and Glenn Wright's timely' hitting' giive' the Brooklyn Dodgers a 3 to 1 victory over the Giants.

To FACE VALUE When you pick up this newspaper and read, the an nouncements of this city's local merchants, or those of national advertisers, yott heed never think to ques tion the sincerity and honesty of their statements. ' This reliance on Advertising has been brought about by Advertising and is one of Advertising's greatest contributions to the satisfaction and case of modern living-. ; ( An advertiser deliberately attempting, to deceive takes the quick, short rond to ruin. The insincere or extravagant statement may have its brief day. But: the greater the attention it attracts, the sooner the public will discover and destroy its deceit. The cornerstone of successful shopkeeping always 'has been "keep faith with the public'; give honest values and truthfully represent the merchandise and its service. This principle had to find its expression in Advertising for Advertising is nothing more than the owner of a store or a factory talking with people in their homes about such things as shoes and soap, radios and rugs, blankets and bloomers It pays to read the advertisements. They are first hand news of what is being invented, fashioned, and perfected in the workshops of the World for your Well being, comfort and convenience. t Sport Slants t By Alan J. Could (Associated Press, Sports Editor)' The major leagues may have been p. trifle Jittery over the business pros pects for 1932, In advance of the getaway, but the first few weeks have been reassuring to the mag nates, thanks mainly to the sudden display of winning form! by such erstwhile rear-guard outfits as Cin cinnati, Detroit, the Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Nationals and Bos ton Braves. Prom the box-office viewpoint, nothing could be sweeter than the early showing of the , under-dogs, especially in towns where, the gate receipts fell off . so substantially as they; did ,in Detroit and Cincinnati last year. The nation-wide interest In base ball appears no less than ever. Babe Ruth's minor aches and pains, as wen as his home runs, remain front page news In the sports ex tras. , The box scores are being studied with more enthusiasm, at least, than the stock market tabu lations. It's a spring tonic to hear the old arguments popping up again above Grove and Perrell, Simmons and Ruth,- Grimes arid Wilson. 3 f A R AT fTOX E (t S OII LOT t . Paut de Bruyn's sensational .vic tory over the best American mara thon'ers in the Boston road classic lis far from, being a fluke, . ' You may recall that- these col umns some time ago pointed to the slow but nevertheless steady ad vance of this 24-year-old German boy, whose .one mission In life now seems to be to capture the Olympic' marathon for the good old father land. , Marathon running has to be next door to an obsession for its partici pant to ' get anywhere. Success generally means the devotlort of the better part of a man's athletic life time. As 'wo have remarked be fore, the Fins, best of all distance running clans, don't think much of a marathon candidate until he gets around 40 years of age. De Bruyri's hfse at so early an age, therefore. Is remarkable testi mony to' the faithfulness of his training" and concentration over the past few years. He Is 12 years younger ' than Paavo ( Nnrmly who also- has his henrC set on winning the long romp at Los Angeles. Their condition being equal, Nurmi would have the edge over the Ger man at any distance because of his speed and training, but the latter has shown ..remarkable improve ment. Do Bruyn Is short, somewhat thick-set. His stride, of course, does nf0li 1 fcbmfpare" .iwljh 'Nu'rml's: but he may. have more endurance than the celebrated Finn. On' top of that the German has developed speed by consistent training at the intermediate distances, 10 to 15 miles, over the roads. CAN'T CHANGE COLORS Some of the experts suggested that de Bruyn, after running for his native land this summer at Los An geles, may "take out citizenship pa pers and return the compliment by running for the United States in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. .
