JONES AND EVANS MEET FOR TITLE Bobby and Chick Play Final Match at Minikahda Today Minneapolis, Aug. 27 (#—The na- tional amateur golf title rested to- aay between two stalwarts of greens and fairways—Bobby Jones of At- lanta, generally recognized as the world's greatest present day golfer, ang Chick Evans of Chicago who was one of America's master golfers when Jones was only a baby. Which- cver one wins at Minikahda today will become champion for the: third time. Jones defeated Francis Ouimet of Boston yesterday in one semi-final by the large margin of 11 and 10. Evans had to fight to the 37gh green to overcome Roland Mackenzie of Washington. In the first match between the two Evans defeated Jones 1 up in a spec- tacular semi-final of the western amateur at Memphis, while in the only other meeting, Jones defeated Evans 3 and 2 in the third round at Baltusrol last year. Jones de- clared afterward that the Baltusrol match was his toughest fight on the way to the finals, where he lost to George Von Elm, eliminated in this meet in the first round The outcome of today's contest, based on previous performances in this tourney, should result in a de- cision for Jones, but Evans is play- ing better than he has for some time and the uncertainties of golf may swing victory to the older player. Jones has scored a record 67 besides a 68 and a 69 on the Minikahda course, while Evans has not done Dbetter than 74 during this meet. 1t was on this links, however, that Evans won the national open cham- pionship in 1916, while Bobby was only 14 years old, with the record score of 70-69-74-73—286, which has never been equalled in this event, although Jones recently won the British open with 255, setting a rec- ord for that tourney. The Minikahda course has been lengthened, but Evans has extended his drives also. He drove 315 yards son the first hole yesterday and he reached the 13th hole high, some- what better than Bobby's two home- reaching shots on that hol Both have reached the 9th green on the top of a high hill in two wal- lops for the 512 yards, equivalent with the upgrade, to nearly six hun- dred. Jones is far the better putter, although strange as it may seem, the nrotoriously bad putter, Evans, yes- terday won his match with his put- ter, “Sourdough,” so nicknamed in mimic of Bobby's “Calamity Jane.” When it comes to the irons, Jones has asserted that they are the weak- st part of his game, if there can be any weakness in such scores as the Georgian has been making in recent weeks, while Evans, once pronounc- cd by Harry Vardon and Jerome Fravers the most exact iron shot- maker in the world, has not lived up to that reputation of late. He failed with them several times yes- terday, but only on the short holes, losing four of the vight. In all America no other pair could be found who have been possessed of more golfing laurels than today's Fvans has won the title he open once, the western cight times, the western open once, and made more course records than | any other American., He is the onl man who ever won the national open | and amateur in one year, 1916, the former with the record score.

(P— Few negroes have a hankering to act in the movies says James Smith, operator of a negro film casting | agency. here are about a hundred negroes working more or less regu- larly in the pictures here, and their screen income is 80 moderate that nearly all of them do outside work. | Paradoxically, negro oxtras sel- \iom are paid as little as the lowest- paid white ext Their minimum is usually $7.50 a day, as against the $5 frequently paid white play. ers, But they average fewer d of work a week and as for the more important roles, virtually all negro character parts have been played by white actors. The casting of James Jlowe, negro, in the role of Uncle Tom in a screen version of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” is regarded by other actors of his race as the first real “break’” a negro film player has had since motion pictures were fnvented. There have been a few independent all-negro productions (six of them in the Hollywoqd area since 1915), | but lack of an effective nationwide releasing organization has limited such films to a small public. The negro players here are op- timlstic over reports that Para- mount is considering using negro | actors in a picture starring Emil | Jannings, German character player, as a cannibal king; that Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer has a negro war comedy in prospect; that DeMille will produce “Por and that Uni- versal will screen Octavus Roy Cohen’s negro stories.

A beautiful bank—that's what you will see—as different from our old home as an American beauty rose differs from a buttercup. From the good looking front to the last detail of the exterior, our architects have combined beauty with utility. Those tall windows with the grace- ful curtains —they will flood the bank with light and fresh air as well as lend a stately touch. Those polished bronze fixtures — they will last a lifetime, and yet always be beautiful. Those marble floors, the wainscoting, the elegant office furniture, the American walnut finish, the deco- rative scheme blending many colors into a harmonious whole—this home Burld eAnd Help Butld of ours is to be an architectural gem. And why? Well, this new building is going to be a hdme,—not only for our own staff, but a financial home for thousands of New Britain residents. And who doesn’t want to have a good home, a beautiful home, a happy home, a cheerful home?
