Facilities for Players Considered, Would Greatly L Cut Cost of Club Membership. ONG known as a rich man’s sport, golf, notwithstanding the great number of public courses which have sprung up in the last decade, still is a game for plavers who have more money and time than the average American citizen can spare. The democracy of the game, and it is one of the most democratic of games, is being impaired by the inability of many fine players to spare the time and money to play in teurnaments and other events which Samuel G. Blythe and Walter C although high handicap players, have tend toward development. amp, both of whom are enthusiastic, ithin the last six months voiced the thought of thousands of players in decrying the high cost of golf. They are unanimous on the point salary cannot afford to out digging too deeply public links are so crowded that enj In addition it is pointed out that in some of the tournaments given & private clubs the public links players are discriminated against in that they are not Invited tb take part in these affairs. Fortunately this accusation cannot be lajd at the door of the clubs about Washington, which al- ways have been uniformly fair and have sent invitations to play in their tournaments to the public links layers here. Plhe Potomac Park Golf Club is a member of the District of Columbia Golf Association, and its members play in all tourneys of the associa- tion, and they always are invited to play in the tourneys of private clubs about this city. That the public course is developing some good Dlay- ers can be noted by the record of the past year, where Charles Agnew, jr. the public links champlon, and George G. Voigt have distinguished themselves. Dues Here Unusually Low. In Washington the high cost of golf is less apparent than it is in and unusually low dues. Around New York and Chicago_ initiation fees and other and larger cities.

Later, when Tommy became famous and Mike had retired, the elder brother sought to continue his role of mentor and critic, whereas Tommy had ideas of his own as to how he should perfect himself in ringeraft.

In 1913, as & middiewelght, he began to fight on his own account and gained some reputatlon by outpointing Tommy Bergen, a much more experfenced fighter. In subsequent years he defeated all sorts of good men. But so much was Tommy under the cloud of the repu- tution of Mike that in most cases when he defeated @ real fighter the public took the stand, not that Tom- my was developing into a great pugilist, but that the better Known man was going back.

Davis of tennis fame led to his court laurels yesterday. but in a eport other than that in ‘which he first gained glory.

Davis triumphed in straight games, 16—13, 1 and 15--13, to earn the title last year captured by Coleman Jennings. ‘The new champlon did not win without & struggle. Gréen was espe-; clally strong in the second and third games, in the latter staging a spirit- ed rally after Davis had assumed a commanding lead.

H This second annual championehip | tournament at the Racquet Club was started early last month with many | entries. No handicaps were accorded.

But while he was doing all this he was not getting his share of prestige because he was still Mike's brother and, according to the critics, would never be as good as Mike, if only for |the reason that one family is not sup- posed to produce two great fighters. In 1921, however, 1t dawned upon the eastern fighting public that, good as Mike had been, he was not in his brother's class, this because Tommy in gaining weight and entering the 1eavy dal don had developed a punch that acted upon an opponent very much as a pill of opium the size of & golf ball would act.
