BACK IN 1026 a 13-year-old, black-haired Irish kid in Cincinnati had's hankering to learn something about golf. 80 he rode a streetcar out to the Miami Valley country club and followed a rangy fellow around the course, simply because he liked the way the big fellow swung at a golf ball The kid was Joe Higgins, who won his second. Indianapolis district golf championship this week, . 8nd his rangy hero, as Higgins learned next day from “the newspaper, was Denny Shute, one’ of the game's topnotchers, Unknowingly Mr. Shute had given golf one of its best boosters and central Ohio and Indiana one of their top amateur players. Today Higgins is as enthusiastic about the sport 8s any high-priced professional, He encourages youngsters to start’ golfing, citing its benefits to health, behavior and good ‘living,

AND HE WASN'T too occupied in the district this week to overlook a youngstér who tagged along behind him for three rounds of the tournament. Higgins also will convince ypu that golf has other material remuneration—even for the amateur. There was,. for example, a golfing acquaintance that proTournament vices tories mean other opportunities to play. Playing means traveling, and traveling means education. That's how Higgins looks at it. The Indianapolis golfing public first camé to know Higgins in 1945 when he moved here from Dayton to accept an advertising position with radio station WIBC. He won the district tournament that year and then advanced to the finals of the state amateur championship before yielding to Pau] Sparks. That defeat was Higgins’ first since 1939. Last year he was co-medalist in the state amateur

Who's Boo Wins?
WASHINGTON, June 31.—What I want to know is, who's booing who? There can be no doubt that President Truman used some 5000 well-chosen words to boo congress for its labor pill. Some of these words were so fancy that George Maurer, the ordinarily imperturable house peading clerk, stumbled over a number of them, Nor is there much argument about the booing by ‘the union cavaicades, which converged upon Washington with signs chalked on the doors of their sedans: “Kill the slave labor bill.” That's known as booing in print,
Everybody Was There
THE UNION LEADERS parked their motorcars outside and ‘jam-packed the galleries of the house. Four hundred and fourteen congressmen—more than I ever saw before in their sanctum at one time—found seats, And there was Speaker Joe Martin, a prudent man, armed for trouble. One gavel wasn’t enough. He had two big wallopers. I guess maybe he was a little excited over the importance of the occasion, because he immediately pulled a blooper. Congress, as you know, isn’t supposed to know what's in a presidential message until it is actually read. A number of lawmakers wanted to sound off; Mr. Martin squelched ‘em. “I think the speeches might well be deferred until action on the veto,” he said. Haw-haw-haw, went the lawmakers; the speaker flushed over letting the veto out of the basket, while
the unionists sat there, puzzled over the merriment. i Clerk Maurer began to read the President's message.
He plowed. through it for 45 minutes, with never a stop for breath, or a drink of water.

HOLLYWOOD, June 21.— Remember al} those beautiful cover girls brought to Hollywood back in 1943 for the flim, “Cover Girl”? There were 15 of them, and all dreamed of movie stardom.

Karen, who was a Goldwyn girl for almost three years, is playing her first dramatic part with Franchot Tone in Columbia’s private eye mystery story, “I Love Trouble.” Karen—“X,” she says, “is for expensive”—met Cary Graiit in a Mexico City night club last winter, and they still have frequent dates to go dancing. “He likes to jitterbug,” she said. “But he does a lot of extra steps nobody ever heard of.” When the 15 cover girls landed in Hollywood, Studio Boss Harry Cqin rented a big house 'in Beverly Hills, hired a chaperon, and made the girls check with him before dating any of the Hollywood wolves. “We took it for six weeks,” Karen mused, “and then eight of us got mad and moved out. We never went back.”

Although he was out of ‘tournament golf from 1939 to 1942, he made a harvest\of club championships in those years and returned to competition in 1942 by witming the Dayton city title again, In the finals he shot the first nine holes in 31 in the morning
and took 30 strokes over the same par-35 route in|
the afternoon. He won the match, 8 and 17, and was 10 strokes below par at its finish. He had other isolated achievements on Dayton links and remembers especially well his rounds of 64 and 65 in a week-end tournament at the country club. He went the first nine on the round in 29. His, best round in Indianapelis has been a 65 he carded over his home course at the Highland Golf and Country club. » Surprisingly enough, Higgins never took any formal golf lessons. After Shute introduced him to the game, he began caddying at Cincinnati's McGregor golf course, kept his eyes and ears open and learned all he could. Later he had opportunities to play with a number of golfing greats, “including Jimmy Demaret, Toney Penna, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. He was als ways ready to take advice.

When Mr. Maurer'd read the final word, a few ol
the Democrats clapped their hands. One tried a tentative cheer. And then, from the floor, rose a boo. The handclappers tried to drown it out. The boos grew louder, and Speaker Martin whacked his gavels until they sounded like a cannonade. That brought silence. Then the speaker did a peculiar thing. He bawled out the visitors in the galleries. TI swear they hadn't uttered a peep, but Mr. Martin said if they made any more noise he'd eject ‘em.
Wanted to Atgue First
A DEMOCRAT from Michigan, name of John Lesinski, said he didn't want to vote on over-riding the veto until he'd had a chance to do a little arguing.
The Republicans were crying, “Vote, vote, vote.” |
When nobody agreed with Mr. Lesinski, he suggested —despite the packed house—that no quorum was present. The speaker sighed. He went through the motions of counting the customers. He said a quorum was on hand. Came then the history-making voté about which you have read. The house over-rode the President almost four to one; more of his own Democrats voted against him than for him, This, I understand, is known as booing by ballot. Now it's up to the senate and I can hardly wait; I want to know who's boo wins the argument.
