Borotra has returned from York. He had much trouble in n. vincing the customs officials that the silver cup he received from the United | States Lawn Ter ssociation for his victory in the American indoor | ampionships was not ject to | duty. The French star is alated over win- ning this, American title, and says he is feeling fit for the coming competi- tions. La Coste’s victory over Jean Washer of Belgium at Brussels is regarded here as having settled the guestion of European tennis supremacy among the man plavers. Washer, finalist in the world cham- pionship against Tilden at St. Cloud in 1921 and again finalist in 1923 against Little Bill” Johnston, and regarded as the only player in Burope capable of giving La Coste a real battle, went down in straight sets in the Brussels match, 6—3 Brugnon also is going well, and the French expect to win their first-round at Budapest without the loss ngle matc EVENTS FOR WOMEN ON S.

Knepper had finished was 300. The final of the individual cham- pionship were closely contested, too. However, coming to the sixteenth hole, it was my good luck to be 2 up with 3 to go The sixteenth at Siwanoy measures about 340 vards, and after the drives the first play to the green fell to me It was a mashie niblick pitch. The green was a postage stamp af fair, pretty well bunkered at the front “nd on both sides, with deep rough at the rear. Unfortunately, my ball was pushed a bit too far to the right. For a time It looked as though it might make the edge of the green. But no such luck. It missed by inches and instead struck near the top of that edge of the bunker which cut into the green. This time luck was with me. There must have been something hard in the bank which the ball encountered, for it bounded out of the trap, hit & tree about 15 feet off to the right and then bounced back upon the green. Inside Golf By Chester Horton. One phase of the grip that many finish of your swing, regardless of the club you use, the grasp of the shaft should be as firm as it is in the ad- dress. Many golf- ers have a way of letting go with the hands after the ball is hit, as they think. That is wrong. They do not let go after the hit—they really begin to let go before the im- act, so that the all is taken with only a weak and ineffective hold on the club. Fix the grasp firmly and solidly during the address, especially with the left hand. Then see to it that you hold on with everything while you hit, and after you hit. The swing is not finished until it is fin. ished and that means when the club is clear around back of you. Holding onto the shaft clear through will cut down the body action some, which is a good thing. It will give you a feel- ing of hitting with the club instead of with the body. Sure Way There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. Then destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi- nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring ; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more appli- cations will completely dissolve and entirely every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all jtching and digging of the scalp will stop -instantly, and your hair will be lustrous, glossy, sillky and soft, and Van Rossum has been in confere: (Aryle) and | T takes all kinds of shots to win a championship The championship was played at Siwanoy, the fina golfers do not know is this: At the| OLYMPICS, DUTCH OFFICIAL ASSERTS ARIS, April 28—Charles van Rossum, general secretary of the Dutch Olympic committee, has informed Baron Pierre de Coubertin, presi- dent of the international Olympic committee, that Holland is cer- nce with Baron de Coubertin for the de Coubertin that Los Angeles, Calif., had been unofficlally sounded as to whether that city would assume the task of staging the 1928 games in the eventt of Holland's not being able to hold the meet.

It is reported that the Holland Olympic committee has been guaran- teed funds by local sporting organiza- tions, the most prominent of which are the soccer foot ball clubs.
