New York, N.Y., June 19 Few people realize that New York
Is essentially a winter resort. Climatically, surrounded as it is
by salt water, it is a far better summer resort. But New Yorkers,
as before stated, just don't pay any attention to the weather. Like
the swallows at Capistrano, they obey some mysterious but irre
sistible urge and always leave in June for the summer and return
when school opens in the fall. As a result many shops close down
for the summer, and all of them reduce their overhead while in
the theater only the big theatrical hits like "South Pacific" stay
on.
That Harvard professor went up into the stratosphere again
yesterday and it is raining today. The man gets away with mur
der! The reservoirs are now as full up as they were a year ago
(nearly 95 per cent) and yet he keeps on the job at $100 per day.
He should run for mayor of New York, instead of wasting his
extraordinary talents at Meteorological school in Cambridge.
e a
Motored up to New Rochelle to have a look at the round
robin tournament. Due to street excavations in the Bronx, took
us nearly as long as to motor to Boston we will follow the
friendly S.P.'s advice next time and "take the train."
' e a a e e
Something new in golf tournaments. The field was restricted
to top-bracket pros (by invitation only), each participant playing
with every other, in foursomes. An interesting idea and a new
slant but hardly a fair test. That is, the best golfer might not win,
depending upon how he came out in the draw.
In this particular case, however, the best man, L. Mangrum,
did win, and we happened to pick out his foursome to follow.
He played with Demaret, Art Bell and Haas. We were particularly
interested in Bell, who is from San Francisco, for we had noticed
him both at Palm Springs and Pebble Beach in '48 and '49, and
felt then he had a great future. t
Bell is slight, handsome, graceful and wiry a marvelous
stylist and a tough fighter. He was low man with a 68 that day,
so got points from the other three, but Mangrum with a 70 (par
is 72) won out in the end with a total for the 90 holes of 344,
while Bell came barely In the money in fifth place.
a
Ben Hogan' apparently had lost something in his gallant and
successful effort to win the "Open" at Philadelphia the week be
fore, ending with a minus 12, with Chick Harbert last with a
minus 31. So in golf as in horse racing (and practically every
other sport worth the price of admission), "you can't sometimes
always tell." However, this chap Mangrum is never far from the
top never loses his cool, calculating "killer" technique and in
the past three weeks has earned over $8000 having been second
to Hogan in the Ardmore play-off. (How about it uene? s,u
in three weeks isn't bad is it, particularly if you are a player
and not a bookie?)
e
While we were in the gallery Demaret and Bell made the
sensational shots. The former chipped out of the sandtrap on the
12th for a birdie three and the latter with his brassie, the hole
before, came within two inches of an eagle two. Mangrum
iust sawed away like a well-oiled threshing machine, never going
OVER par, and ending two under.
The weather was a great improvement over Ardmore, and
the course ditto. Couldn't call the latter easy far from it but
it isn't a heart-and-club-breaker all the way around. The fairways
and greens were in perfect shape, tpe former s thick brush ana
woods, not as fatal as Philadelphia on a slice or hook. Finally
there was no such mob following around as a week ago, sporto
acopes being conspicuous by their absence, hot dogs and babies
also.
Plenty of sports hereabouts during the summer. Saturday
the Harvard-Yale boat race at New London, (Washington won the
intercollegiate at Marietta, Ohio, Saturday).
The Dodgers made it three straight against the league lead
ing "Cards" at EbbeU Field yesterday; college baseball over the
week-end, and 54 yachts started yesterday for the annual sum
mer race to Bermunda. There is also horse racing by day and
harness racing by moonlight, so you better hop down here for a
spell, Johnl
Yep, we hale to perpetrate such a moss-covered cliche but
Time CONTINUES to march on.
The fact was impressed upon us at New Rochelle when we
ran into Lawson Little's foursome at the 7th hole. LAWSON
LITTLE! It seems only yesterday your correspondent saw him
spring the big surprise at the National Amateur at Pebble Beach
by beating Goodman (also just a high school kid) who had in turn
startled the golf world at home and abroad a day or two before
by vanquishing the super all-time champ uoddv jones.
Never hear of Goodman any more, but Lawson Little as a
"pro" is right up there in front, getting second plnce to Mangrum,
and leading the field the first two days. But naturally no slick,
handsome, slender prep-school boy any more. Lawson must weigh
close to 200 now, has a definite waistline, his hair is turning grey
and he walks somewhat like an elephant who has been pushing
circus wagons all day.
Speaking of the circus the Cole Brothers are about to pitch
their tents in Yankee Stadium while the badly demoralized
"champs" are out of town, later they will show for two or three
days at Ebbets Field. Their big attraction is not "Jumbo" or
the two-headed Hottentot, not even the bearded lady from the
Everglades of Florida, but HOP-A-LONG CASS1DY! Anyone who
can explain THAT can probably also explain why the modern
comics attract the young of today. Both are utterly UNexplain
able to this department.
To Illustrate how the round robin type of golf tournament
COULD upset the applecart and and knock the low-medal winner
out of first place, the following report of the New Rochelle tourna
ment is clipped from mis morning a jierain-iriouiie, to-wii:

Art Bell shot a total of 353 and only got fifth with a plus 11.
Lawson Little shot a 355, Barron a 35B, they placed second and
fourth, with total scores of plus 20 and plus 12. In other words,
in straight medal play Mangrum would have won. but Art Bell and
Claude Harmon would have tied for second instead of one ending
up third and the other fifth. The reason being not the way they
played, but their opposition.
An amusing feature of this tournament was the fact the show
was financed and conducted by the manufacturers of Palm Beach
clothes, and was therefore officially called the Palm Beach tourna
ment. But none of the N.Y. papers called It the Palm Beach tour
nnmcnt none we saw at least apparently regarding such men
tion as "advertising." They called It after the unpronoiincable
name of the New Rochelle club namelv "Wykngyl" which perhaps
E.G.B. Jr. and some other WELSHMKN in the valley may be able
to pronounce, but the undersigned can't. R.W.R.

Destruction of
Weed by Beetles
Said Successful
The amazing success of Im
ported beetles In combating St.
Johnswort was reported today
by L. G. Gentner. entomologist
at the southern Oregon experi
ment station, who this week re
turned from visit to the Glen
dale area in Douglas county,
where 5,000 beetles were liber
ated two years ago.
Gentner said the beetles had
multiplied in the last two years
to such an extent that they are
now scattered over an area of
160 acres at the rate of about
two beetles per square yard. The
weed has been practically all
killed out in an area of about
five acres in the center of the
Infestation.
Multiply Fait
The beetles have become defi
nitely established in tilt locality
and are multiplying at "an al
most unbelievable rate." In an
other year, he estimated, the
weed, a serious pest, will be
killed over the entire 160 acres.
It Is hoped that the beetles liber
ated last month in Jackson and
Josephine counties will do as
well.
The insects were brought
from Australia about five years
ago by the United States bureau
of entomology and plant quaran
tine and have been under obser
vation since that time. They feed
only on St. Johnswort. and when
it is gone they will starve.
Do you suffer from seasick
ness? Maybe I have a cure for
you. A Detroiter says some years
ago he read that acrobats, tight
rope walkers, roller skaters and
all persons whose occupation or
favorite sport requires them to
balance their bodies to maintain
their equilibrium are rarely sea
sick. So this Detroiter, who had
suffered from seasickness and
plane sickness for years, decided
to give the theory a trial. For
thirty months he went roller
skating three times a week. He
has never been seasick or plane
sick since, though during a long
stretch with the armed forces in
World War II he took many long
trips by sea and air.
Over Thar
Englnnd's oldest horse, a noble
animal named Bob, recently died
in England at the age of forty-
seven. Oldest horse I ever heard
of was one that died at Hebron,
Nebraska, at the age of fifty-one.
The oldest thoroughbred I can
recall was an animal named Mer
rick who lived to be thirty-one
years old.
Repealers
What film did you see the
most? I never went to see any
film more than twice. At the Vic
toria Theater, Manhattan, a man
is reported to have seen the film
"The Third Man" seven times in
one day! It is also said there is
a young woman who has seen
this picture every Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday for fifteen
weeks.
Hones at Woman
"You recently said many men
have a marked preference for
large women," writes a Pitts
burgher. "How right you are. My
husband Li one of them. We are
very happily married and have
been for many years. I am forty-
three years old, five feet eight
and a half inches in height and
weight two hundred and seventy
eight pounds. My oldest child is
twenly-six. my youngest six. I
am the mother of eleven chil
dren." Dogi Again
Dog owners frequently slate
their pets understand everything
they say. For example, an owner
of two Alsatians says whether
his wife or himself remarks:
"Shall we take the dogs out?"
the animals start running around
in joyful anticipation of a walk.
The couple then decided to spell
this question out. The dogs un
derstand that, too. They then
tried saying it In French. But the
dogs still caught on. It is my be
lief It Is not always a question of
what you say in front of a dog.
It's what you think. Dogs are
mindreaders.

Here's something to top that
will knock Californians. Texans
and even Brooklynites back on
their heels. Madame Vitaline

in order to surprise her guests

Las Vegas. N. M.. recently

As far as I know I have no read
er in Temperance, Mich. But I
am going to have one. She lives
in Shadyside, Ohio. But will

ance. Meal Tickets
The old-fashioned custom of
restaurants selling meal tickets
is still practiced in Staten Island,
New York. So I am informed by
a resident of that section who
sent me a meal ticket he recently
bought for $5 which entitled him
to $5.50 worth of food. A Mt.
Vernon, N. Y., subscriber says
the meal ticket system is still
used in his town. This subscriber
seems to think I owe him a
stogie. He con61udes his commu
nication with the following P. S.
"Forward boxed stogie marked
'fragile'."
In the Borough of the Bronx
there lives a happily married
woman whose husband proposed
to her by mail without seeing her
in person or a snapshot of her.
And she weighs 300 pounds. . . .
Are you a pipe smoker? How
are you on packing the pipe? The
test of expert packing is how
long the pipeful keeps burning.

Rogue River Girl to
Attend Meeting of
FHA in Kansas City
Salem, Ore., June 22 (U.R)
Fourteen teen-agers from the
Oregon Future Homemakers of
America organization will go

Mullins, Rogue River.
The transportation system in
western Germany has been re
stored to the extent where it can
serve all present needs, accord
ing to the allied high commis
sioner's office. Rail, truck and
water-borne traffic have risen
very considerably in the last two
years and facilities to handle
all transportation have kept
pace. One of the most notewor
try achievements, according to
HICOG, has been the restoration
of almost all railroad bridges
across the Rhine. Weser, Main
and Danube rivers.

an ambitious building program
launched by Germany to cope
with the rapidly increasing in
flux of foreign travelers.
