TWO MARINES WIN
WILBUR CITATION
Lieutenant and Sergeant
Commended for Gallantry
in Nicaragua.
Official commendation of Secretary of j
the Navy Wilbur has been forwarded
to Second Lieut- Wilbert S. Brown and
Sergt. Charles H. Isham, United States
Marine Corps, for their action during
battle with rebels in Nicaragua.
Serf t. Isham. according to the official
report, in spite of having been "shot
through the thigh during the first
volume of fire, organised a squad and
delivered volley fire at vulnerable points
in the enemy emplacements. His action
and conduct under withering and dis
astrous enemy fire." continued the offi
cial report, "was an example for the
men of his section, most of whom were
receiving their baptismal fire. '
The report further states that al- !
though badly wounded, the sergeant
‘•exercised command over the right of
the line during the entire engagement,
disregarding his own personal safety to
perform arduous tasks over and be
yond the call of duty." He was
recommended for the Navy Cross
"Your gallant conduct merits and re
ceives my high commendation." said
Secretary Wilbur.
Lieut. Brown was recommended for !
award of the Navy Cross, for extraordi- ,
nary heroism in battle with bandits in
Nueva Segovia and for "distinguished
service in the line of his profession.”
The official report states that on
January 19. while at "the head of the j
point of the advance guard of a force j
of Marines. Lie®. Brown was chal- |
lenged by a bandit sentry. Lieut.;
Brown shot the sentry and with the two
squads of his advance guard utterly
muted a bandit force of not less than
thirty rifles, who were prepared to
ambush our column at Buena Vista.
This with no casualties to our forces."
He was also cited for "seven contacts" J
with the enemy from October to De
cember. 1927, .
"Your splendid conduct and the pro
fessional ability which you displayed."
wrote Secret&rv Wilbur, "while in com
bat with the bandit forces in Nicaragua,
were in keeping with the best tradi
tions of the naval service; and merit
and receive my high commendation."

finish with 311 for 43d place.
The leaders were Robert T. Jones. 1

Quaker Ridge, N. Y.. 294; Roland Han- j
cock, Wilmington. N. C.. 295; Walter
Hagen. New York. 296, and George Yon

John Farrell was the only one of the |
leaders at the conclusion of the fifty
fourth hole who didn't blow the title
j away over the last round. All the:
others who had a chance to win toppled
like wheat before a Kansas cyclone
over the first nine holes of the final
journey. 1
Experts Make Toor Showings.
First it was Jones, who led at the
end of the fifty-fourth hole, and ran
into two consecutive holes played two
strokes over par. Then it was little
Henrv duel of New York, 125 pounds
of fighting Italian-American golfer, who j
threw the title away by poor putting
over the first nine of the last uund.
Then the great Hagen. British open
i champion, who pulled a ball cut of the j
! bounds at the iourth for a six snd
finished the first nine with mother j
six on his iinx hole, the ninth. Then
MacFarlane. the 1925 title holder, only 1
three shots back at the end of the third ,
round, who got out in 41 over the first j
nine of the last round. Willie Leach of j
Overbrook. Pa., who holds the Indian
Spring professional record at 69. also J
blew over the first nine. |
Then, and greatest and worst of all, j
it was young Hancock. 22-year-oid pro
fessional star from the South, who ;
i romped out in 33 strokes to lead Jones
; bv one shot with nine holes to go, and
| lead Farrell by two shots for -he same
j distance. Here is the way they stood at
the end of the sixty-third hole, with but
j nine holes to play. Hancock. 256. Jones.

Jones, leading the field at the fifty

right up to the short sixth in the after- ;
noon then he pulled his iron shot into .
a water ditch at this 163-yard affair, j
j dropped back and took a 5. A badly- j

of the poorest rounds he has played m
anv recent championship. j
But he was in and had the ad\ antage
of leading the rest of the field, while i
j all the others were out on Olympia
Fields' tree -bordered fairways trying .
ito tie or beat him. John Farrell, the
I only one who didn’t Mow. was out in
36 and was one shot back of Jones. He
picked this up on the eleventh, where j
he sank a 10-footer for a 3. where ;
Jones had scored a 4. But Bobby sank
an 18-footer on the long fifteenth for

in woods and trees, took a 6, and Jones
led by two shots. But Farrel secured

won the British open In May and then
won the American open in June. The
great Haig, playing before a gallery of
4.000 charging, racing people, played
bad golf, golf of the kind that cost
him two shots at the fourth, where he
hooked out of bounds and that only
enabled him to get a 4 at the 350-yatd
fifth by a 20-foot putt.
•Hagen’s 6 at the ninth came as the
; result of a topped tee shot, which found
1 a water ditch. He then needed 34 to
l Up, It, was too much even for Hagen,
but he made a bold bid. The wraps
jeame off and the world’s greatest fin
' isher went boldly for every putt, but
where they .dropped yesterday they just
stayed out today. He missed a brace or
I them by not more than the width or
I his putter blade, and instead of tietng
was outside by two shots.
Then there whs George von Elm,
playing winning golf and thoroughly
deserving to win the championship,
getting out in 37 to be only a brace of
■ shots behind Jones, one of which he
; picked up at the tenth. George got a
deuce at the 130-yard thirteenth and
| stood on the fourteenth tee with par to
tie. although he didn’t know it then.
This fourteenth. 433 of the longest and
I most terrifying yards ever offered in
any championship, had previously cost
j Jones a 6, and cost many a competitor
| a chance to win. Here Von Elm put
i his ball in the woods at the right and
! finally holed out in 6.
But he still had a chance. At the
I long fifteenth he pulled to the woods
and took another 6 and was definitely
! out. He made a gallant bid. however.
finishing with a par 3. a birdie 3 and a
. 5 on the last hole to tic Hagen.
Meanwhile Hancock, entirely without
a gallery over the first nine holes, and
i a lad to whom no one had paid any
I particular attention, came charging
over the first nine holes in 33 strokes,
1 picking up a brace of birdies and never
going over par on a single hole, to lead
Jones by one stroke at the sixty-third,
with nine holes to play, and to finish
the first nine of the last round with a
2-stroke lead over Farrell.
What a grand chance this tactiturn.
serious lad from North Carolina had. a
chance that comes but once in a life
time. H° took on a5 on the tenth, and
picked up a small gallery as word
snread that he had a chance. But he
got a birdie 3 at the tenth to pick up
i a shot on Jones and stay two shots in
front of Farrell. His second shot at the
j twelfth went over the green and he took
; three more to get down, dropping a shot
:to Jones and Farrell. But he picked it
up again at the short thirteenth where
a 25-foot putt for a deuce just lobbed
i over the lip of the cup. He smiled for
; the first time in that tense, nerve shak
ing round, a smile that seemed to spell
victory, for he led both Jones and Far

j and they hadn’t finished particularly
strong.
Trembles at Tee.
His worst holes were yet to come,
however, for the fourteenth and fif
teenth are fearsome affairs, with the
1 weight of a national championship
bearing down and eating at a man's
soul. And this lad hasn't had much
j experience in championships. If he
had he wouldn't have played the last
! two holes as he did. He played the
fourteenth and fifteenth in even par
and stood on the sixteenth tee leading
by two shots with three holes to play.
He could literally have played them all
with a mashie. midiron and putter and
won the championship
A perfect pitch to the sixteenth was
followed by a putt that lipped the cup
for a deuce and he still had a two-shot
lead. Some one told him what he had
to do at the seventeenth and we watch
ed him as he teed his ball. This tall
and usually unconcerned lad actually
was trembling like a leaf as he teed
his ball.
The championship strain had begun
to bear down, and it showed when he
hit his ball, a far-ranging slice that
bounded through a grove of aspens into
a bad lie in the rough, just missing
Butterfield Creek which wanders through
ihe course. He could have reached, the
green with a mashie. but his head came
up and he hit the ball into the rough
only 20 yards away. His third shot
carried 40 yards off the line to the left
over the head of the gallery banked
around the green, and he chipped back
to hole out in 6.
That left him a 4 to win on the par 5
last, hole and a 5 to tie. We firmly
believe that If he had taken a penalty
stroke on the seventeenth, pitched out
on the fairway and then pitched up
on the green he would have secured
his par 5 on the last hole to win.
So he stood on the eighteenth need
ing a bird to win. He stood fully 4
inches too far away from his ball on
the tee and the resulting hook carried
him behind a group of alders growing
in the low ground at, the left. He had
to play out and take a penalty stroke.
There was no alternative. And he had
n 240-yard brassle shot left to the green.
He half topped It and the ball ran
through a ditch to bring up 40 yards
short of the green. Even then he might
have tied with a fine pitch, but he
j played 25 feet short of the pin and
took two putts for a 6. to finish 1 shot
back. It will be many a long day before
he has another chance like that.
Tommy Armour was one of the first
to congratulate Jones and Farrell after
he found no one could beat them. He
declared tonight that had his putting
been going even ordinarily well todav.
he might have won, for his 80 putts of
the dav are eight over the 72 putts
ordinarily required for the double cir
cuit of any golf course. Tommy shot a
77 this morning, but was 11 shots back
of Jones, too many to expect to pick up
over a single round.
Armour’s Hard Luck.
Out in 37 over the last round. Tommy '
came back in exactly the par of 36 for
a 73, but It was too late. All through
the championship one thing or another
has gone wrong with Tommy. Yester
day it was his iron shots on the short
holes and today it was his putter. Had
they all been working together at one
time he would have won again.
Fred McLeod took an 84 on the third
round, and was definitely out of a
chance to win. His 78 this afternoon
was good golf, but, the four 6s of the

Labor Secretary Addresses
4-H Boys and Girls at Na

"Stay on the farm" was the advice
given by Secretary of Labor James J.
Davis last night In an address broad
cast by radio from the National Press
Club to the 4-H Clubs, comprising 617,-
000 boys and girls in the United States
who are preparing themselves for farm
life.
Station WRC carried the address
which was delivered to 150 members
of the 4-H» Clubs, who have been in
morning round were too much to over
come. Toward the end of any cham
pionship all the long holes look a mile
away and the short holes become affair
to test the art of the most courageous.
So it was with Freddie today, but he
did well enough over the first two
rounds to satisfy him.

session here since Friday, and who last
night gathered at the National Press
Club for an entertainment, at which
the United States Navy Band furnished
the music.
Secretary Davis said that the day
is passing when the American farmer
is being referred to in the slighting
manner of yesterday—an attitude on
the part of. the public, which, he de
clared. to have been responsible main
ly for hundreds of thousands of young
Americans deserting the farms of their
fathers, because they could not bear
to be called ••hayseeds.”
Science Comes to AM.
‘‘Science has come to the aid of thg
farmer as it has come to the aid of
every class in our community,” he
said, ‘‘and science is transforming the
farmer as it is now transforming the
members of every other occupation.
‘‘lf my advice were sought, I should
advise every boy and girl bom on a
well-developed farm to remain thereon,
unless he or she felt to a marked
degree that their vocation lay dis
tinctly elsewhere. There can be as
much happiness on a farm in these
twentieth century years as exists within
our cities. Even our city dwellers are
beginning to cast a longing glance at
the great open spaces, and they are
manifesting a desire to get beyond the
mist and heat of our urban streets."
The Secretary of Labor declared that
times are destined to be better and
better for the farmer, as witnessed by
the improvements in his life brought
about by the automobile, electricity
and the radio.
'“lf the 4«H Clubs can -induce the
boys and girts of America, who were
bom on farms.to remain on them, they
will perform a splendid work, and one
which needs to be accomplished,’* Tie
added.
Another highlight on yesterday’s
Sogram was a trip to Mount Vernon
the afternoon.
• This morning all the young visitors
will attend the churches of their re
spective denominations, and this after
noon will be marked by a trip to Ar
