The two certain vacancies are at Chevy Chase and Burning Tree, and probably there will be no hurry about filling either post. Jimmie Crabb of Danbury, Conn., as announced, will take up the job .as pro at tie Congressional Country Club, while Willie Jackson will as- sume the reins at Indiap Spring. Meanwhile Wilfred Reid, the former pro at In n Spring, is located at St. Augustine, where Fred McLeod held down the pro job a few winters ago. Golf professionalinm is calling many of the younger stars of the game. George Aulbach, medalist in the pub- lic links tourney held last year at Toledo, has turned pro. and now word comes from New York that Dick Walsh, runner-up to Champion Eddie Held of St. Louis, is about to step out of the ranks of the simon pures and take the path of the paid players. American golfdom’s governing body, the United States Golf Association, solemnly exhorts all golfers to learn and play up to the rules of the game. But the U. S. G. A. executive commit- tee—solemn men when called upon to make an official decision; 4 most genfal of souls otherwise— little know wherein thess selfsame rules are shattered and little know what sins are committed in the sacred name of rules, Here is a story from the south that illustrates In a true manner the wide- spread ignorance of the rules: A woman golfer in the south lost a match by the narrowest possible mar- gin. At ome hole she took her stanoe to putt and found she had a mashie in her hand instead of a putter. She stepped back and called to the eaddie for a putter. hole,” sald her op- ponent, “the rules say you cannot change your club once yon have taken your stance.” Two ocolored caddies almost keeled over with astonishment as they saw the other fair golfer pick up her ball and proceed to the next tee. New elghth and ninth greens at the Indian Spring Club are to be in play during the coming spring, it has been announced. The seventh hole will he lengthened to the top of the hill ahead of the present green, making a new par five hole of about 600 yards, while the eighth tee will'bs moved opposite the new seventh green. The new eighth green will be located across the vn}lty. e 'he new ninth green, which was planted last geason in vegetative bent, probably will be in good condition for play by spring. ' This hole has reduced {n length from wsomething over 200 yards to 165. The present ninth hole will be used as a practice gree Bids are being obtained for con. struotion of a new road for entrance to the clubhouse. This will be the first construction work to be done after permanent clubhouse drawings are in hand, Parking space for 1,000 cars will be made available.

O has prevailed sporting circles time out of mind. The phrase doesn’t mean a great deal when you come to analyze it. Practically it means nothing at all, since, as we well know, champions arise, hold their brief period of glory and then become has-beens. Perhaps the best meanin, relates exclusively to mentality. That is to say that the mental qualities that went to make up a champion never leave him, even after his physical prowess has waned. This is probably true—at least in a sufficient number of cases to prove a rule. Studying Floyd Johnson, the young heavywelght pugilist from Towa, who after a triumphant career among the third and fourth raters of the west, came to New York and knocked out Bob Martin of the A. E. F. and then gained a decision over the crafty and experlenced Bill Bren- nan, we find a lot of mental qualities that suggest championship caliber. Physically Johnson s generally garded as {n need of further exper! ence and development, but 50 far a brain action is concerned he is there right now. NCE a champion always a Is Native of lowa. Floyd is a blond giant. fine-looking and with an agreeable, indeed, an in- fectious smile. He comes from prime old Towa stock on his father's side, while his mother was derived from an old Missouri strain—the Big Blue re- glon. * Johnson himself was born in Des Moines. He has eyes as blue and clear as the inland lakes of the north- west and his pink and white com- plexion would be the envy of any flapper. But the eyes can grow hard and when he sets his jaws and shows his teeth he {& not the pleasantest be- ing on earth to gasze upbn | His height Is an even six feet and | ho fights at 195 pounds.
