Y., June 28— Blazing the way through a gusty wind for the big field, two sturdy Italian professionals, Gene Sarazen of New York and Al Espinosa of Chicago, went into an early tie for the lead today, with 142, 2 under par, for the !c-hon or half-way mark of the national open golf championship. Sarazen duplicated his brilliant 71 of yesterday, chiefly because he needed only 11 putts on the last nine holes, home with a par 72 to 70 on the first round. Three putts and a bad 5 on the short thirteenth cost Espinosa a golden chance to take the lead. Issue Now Up to Bobby. ‘These two performances left the issue over the leadership up to Bobby Jones, whose sensational 69 led the opening day's battle. The Atlanta amateur knew what he had to beat as he pre- pared for his second round after lunch. Bobby Jones started in pursuit of the leaders in a driving rainstorm that did }wrt' ‘?revem a huge gallery from salling orth. It started to rain just before Bobby teed off with Emmet French. The Atlantan, in cap and sweater, sent a screaming drive down the middle on a “tall wind” and laid his second nicely on. His two putts gave him a par 4. French overshot the green and took 5. rain stopped and the gallery increased as they went to the second. Jones pushed his tee shot to the rough. He cleared an intervening tree but landed in a trap.

His most serious errors were in blasting too strongly out of traps. Three times he shot the ball clear across the green on the last nine, but recovered each time to make the putts look easy.

World peace and the steps which are being taken to make for better and bet- ter international relations, including limitation of armaments, will be dis- cussed by Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts in the National Radio Forum, conducted through The Star, tomorrow night at 9 o'clock. Senator ‘Walsh will emphasize particularly the need of education and understanding by the peoples of the world for perma- nent peace. ‘The imminence of a further interna- tional conference for the limitation of naval armaments, with this country prepared to enter a conference with Great Britain, Japan and other nations, makes the address of Senator Walsh especially timely. He is a member of the Senate committee on naval affairs, and has always taken a keen interest in matters relating to the Navy as well as to world peace. Senator Walsh dur- ing his address will touch also upon the consummation of the Kellogg multi- lateral treaty renouncing war, brought about by the ratification of Japan with- in the last day or two. The Senator from Massachusetts is widely known as an orator and is reckoned one of the foremost debaters in the Senate today. He is a prodigious worker and has given much study to | the questions he will discuss tomorrow night. Senator Walsh is the first Democrat to be elected a member of the Senate from Maine since the Civil War. He was elected to the Senate for his first term in November, 1918, de- feating the late John W. Weeks, who afterward became Secretary of War. Prior to his election to the Senate Sen- ator Walsh served as lieutenant gov- ernor and then as governor of Massa- chusetts. Because of his progressive- ness he has always had a wide follow- ing among the independent voters in his State. When he was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature he was elect- ed from a Republican district, although he himself has always been a Demo- crat. He was re-elected to the Senate last November by 124,492 Elurllily and is credited with having had a great deal to do with carrying the State for the Democratic nominee for President, Alfred E. Smith. In addition to being a member of the naval affairs committee, Senator Walsh is a member of the committee on finance, which is now considering the tariff-revision bill. One of the planks of his platform for re-election was the improvement of conditions for the work- ing people in Massachusetts, many of whom have been hard hit by conditions affecting the textile industry in New MOTHER OF FIFTEEN DS OF POISON Taken to Casualty Hospital Yesterday Afternoon. sixteenth child, took poison yesterday morning in her home at 403 Green street, Anacostia, and died at 4 o'clock this morning in Casualty Hospital with- out regaining consciousness.
