HARLOW Going through the metropolitan newspapers. A sad item from The Los Angeles Times. The members of the Press Photographers Association of that city raised among its mem bers $250 to defray the. expenses of another operation for the Olym pic diving champion of 1928 and 1932. As MrS. Roof Gilson, Geor gia frequently visited Pinehurst. This was after her career as a dm ing champion, and before illness overtook her. / This is what the news camera men of L. A. said to Georgia, when they presented her with $250: “The news'photographers of Los Angeles will never forget you have always been their friend. Unlike many champions, you have^ always been happy to help us do our job. We don’t forget that do ing it 'meant hours of diving by you — not merely posing for a cam era. No cameraman has ever failed to have your sunny smile and the perfect diving shots he needed for his paper., We are proud to feel that you have always been*a pal.” -*--1 Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce will hold a “gigan tic free golfing clinic” prior to the annual L. A. open championship. The Washington Herald reports that King Leopold III of Bel gium is an honorary member of the Burning Tree Club of that city. The King played with Ambassador Joseph E. Davies in Belgium. He was invited to join Burning Tree and accepted. The King beat the Amabassador. He scored a 69 on a par 70 course. Marvin Ward, Unijfced States amateur golf champion, is a guest of Bing Crosby, in Southern California. Ward is a likely starter in the L. A. open. ' Giant Sahara cactus is a unique hazard on the courses* in Arizona. Bobby Jones has been taking golf lessons from Harold Sargent, assistant professional at the East Lake Club in Atlanta. In St: Petersburg, Florida, professionals representing four clubs are engaged in a round-robin bestball competition.
