Frank sat in a wicker chair over- looking the ninth hole most of the afternoon, one down to a blistered foot. During the early part of the week he shot a nifty §0 but the pace he set for himself raised a big blis- ter. He didn't get much real sym- pathy, for most of the players would accept two blisters if they could: make as good 2 score as he did a. this time of the year. Now he is a favorite to win the president's cup. Val Flood is known as quite a ver- satile gentleman of golf. He can tell you why grass is green, what £0oes to make a club “feel” right and why duffers always slice. He used to drive a gutta-percha ball a mile when cleeks and lofters were used by the Hagens and Joneses of his day. Suggest stakes high enough to make it worth his while to shoot a round with you, and you'll take a frim- ming at the hands of the Old Master, if you don't sink your putts. Before he hegan his mission of converting links of the cow and shecp pasture variety into courses with beautiful fairways and perfect greens, Flood was something of a fighting man in the squared arena. All of Val's past has Been drawn from him by artful questioners and long ago became part of the tradi- tions of Shuttle Meadow. But lately a new side of him has come to the surface. Mingling with the ministers as they play golf Mon- day mornings, he conceived the idea ot aiding them by writing sermons. He claims that his first offering was accepted and pregched by a promi- nent local pastor. 1t is Flood's boast that he is as familiar with the Scrip- tures as he is with the contents of the golf rule book. It might be well for the ministers’ association to consider ordaining the pro and set him to work on the Sun- day morning golfers. He could ac- company the especially sinful four- etomes and preach to them as they walked from tee to green. He could intersperse his remarks with little hints about playing the shots. This arrangement might help solve the| problem of the church reaching the men goifers. WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD By_the United Press. Yesterday's hero—Jess Petty, vet- eran southpaw, who pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates into second place in the National league with a 10 to 1 victory over the St. Louis Card- inals.

It was and tuck all the way through with dark- ness winning the decision as the sixth inning was finished. The Lawsons ,again entered the picture but this time against the Herald crew. Vic Lawson. elongated hurler from Maple HiM, was the con- quering hero last night. His work in the box held the Heraldites in the pinches and kept the newspapermen subdued. Kent of Kensington, a southpaw hurler, started for the Herald but he was relieved by Gerry Crean who finished the game. Nom Begley played left field for a time and in his one time at bat, he fan- ned. A return game. is In the works.
