ATTEMPT HOP TO TEXIS
j€ NEW YORK, Sept. 24. (/P>—Hern
don and Pangborn headquarters
here announced that the fliers are
to attempt a one-stop hop from
Japan to Dallas, Texas, if the re
ported $25,000 offer from Colonel
Easterwood of Dallas can be veri
fied.
They said that in view of the
refusal of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce to alter the terms of
a $28,000 flight from Tokyo to Seat
tle, the tfliers might attempt to
make a distance record.
As Seattle requires a start at
Tokyo, which the backers say is
impossible because of no field there
long enough for a heavily fueled
plane to take off from, the termed
the offer “safe” because they said
said none can compete for it.

D. E. Valade apparently has the
President’s Cup award in the Sew
ard Golf Club’s handicap tourna
ment cinched with a handicap
score of 99. Valade with a handi
cap of 55 for the 18 holes or 110 for
'the 36 holes to be played, made
[scores of 52, 61, 45 and 51 for the
j four rounds of nine holes required <
! in the tournament play. This gave
[him a total of 209 strokes for the
136 holes, and this score minus his
handicap of 110 gives him a score
of 99, which practically cinches his
victory.
