DISPUTERESULS OF BALLODN RACE De Veenstra Landed at Sea in Squall, Reports to Corunna Declare. By the Associated Press. CORUNNA, Spain, June 11.—It was reported here today the the Belgian, M. Veenstra, pilot of the balloon Prince Leopold, who yesterday was declared winner of the Gordon Bennett cup balloon race which started frem Brussels Sunday might be disquali- fied. Reports here said he did not descend on land, but came down at sea off the northwestern coast of Spain. He was said to have been in the water six hours and to have been rescued by a passing steamer. A landing and rescue at sea would disqualify M. Veenstra, and would leave the Belgian, M. de Muyter, pilot of the balloon Beigica, as winner. Three balloons have already been disqualified for landing at sea, in- cluding the Goodyear III, piloted by the American, Wade T. Van Orman. Information here was that the Prince Leopold landed 10 miles off the Spanish coast when forced down by a sudden squall and that M. Veen- stra was rescued with much diffi culty by the captain of the steamer Fernando from Vigo. In a rough sea and during a fog the captain leaped into the water and saved the bal loonist after repeated efforts. The announcement of M. Veenstra's flight _yesterday said he_ landed Cape Torinana, extréine gorthw Spain, more than §00 miles from sels. The American Van Orman hs traversed about 441 miles before he fell in the sea off the Ushant Light Ernest de Muyter of Belgium, -win- ner of the first Gordon Bennett cup race for balloons, and now apparently in line for another victory, traversed 422 miles in this race and landed &t Quimper, Brittany. NEXT RACE MAY BE IN U. Belgians Find Expense of Staging Event Is Irksome. NEW YORK, June 11 (#).—The' possibility of the next revival of the Gordon Bennett international balloon race being held in the United States is seem in dispatches from Brussels stating that the Belgian Aero Club has found burdensome the heavy éx pense of staging the event for the last four years. The original Gordon Bennett cup was definitely won by Belgium's pre- mier balloonist, Ernest de Muyter. who fulfilled the condition of the donor by pttting his country in first place three times in a row. This year’s race, which has just been concluded with another Belgian victory, was in the form of a revival, with the idea of keeping up the se- ries, which had continued so long 83 to become almost a tradition. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, Increasing Attention Given to Golf Worries Manager of Credit Men Tregoe Doubts If General Shelving of Business for ‘Lure of Pastime Is Conducive to Prosperity. Game Permeates All Levels of Society. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. While no part of the official program has been given over to the subject, nevertheless there has been an under- current of discussion here at the thi tieth annual convention of the N: tional Association of Credit Men as to whether the ancient and honorable game of golf can be written down as an asset or a liability in modern busi- ness. The undercurrent was started by a statement from J. Harry Tregoe ex- executive manager of the association, that he distinctly wrote golf down as a liability. Mr. Tregoe is a real power in the a ation. He has just com- pleted a tour of the Northern and East- ern half of the United States in the in- terest of the first $1,000,000 fund for ecution of “credit crooks,” and he knows something about s conditions. One of the “‘con- ditions” he finds is a growing tendency on the part of bankers and business men making up the assoclation to spend more and more time upon the fascinating links. Mr. Tregoe does not deny that golf may make -for health and long life, but he is ve doubtful if it makes for prosperit Mr. Tregoe feels that perhaps the needed exercise for business men and bankers might be obtained in some manner that would_not occupy as much time as golf. He has discovered that the golf players in the smaller cities of the United States spend about half a day on the links, while those in the big citie: ve to give up virtually the entire day to the game.

' All Center on Golf. During his recent travels Mr. Tre- goe found himself invited everywhere to play golf. The first idea of busi. ness men or bankers when they get together at this season of the year is “When can we go golfing?” The sec- ond great question is “Where can we go golfing?”’ At a meeting of the American Bankers' Associdation * in New York some time ago the commit- tee on arrangemets found itself con- fronted by the task of arranging for several thousand bankers and visitors to get golfing privileges at the various clubs in the metropolitan district. Manager Tregoe has not as yet felt the situation serious enough to be placed on the agenda of the annual meetings of the Association of Credit Men, but he has intimated that in an- other year or two it may be there for open and serious discussions. Meantime, golf appears to be per- meating every stratum of soclety. The public links of the cities are proving great levelers, or elevators, as the sit- uation may be viewed by the golfers and the non-golfers of the various communities. Here in Washington the links present a particularly inter- esting cros-cut of life at the Capital. One of the very best players on the mAanicifal cotirse In Potomac Park is a bricklayer.

Golf has {ts ardent defenders among the delegates to the credit men’s convention. They contend that golf has made more gentlemen in manners than almost any other influence which has come generally into the life of people. The credit men are particularly interested in the fact that there are very few criminals among golf players. The “crook” hasn’'t time to play golf. The degenerate does not care for JUNE 11, 1925. golf. Golf always has had its par- tisans and its antagonists. When it was first introduced in Scotland a law was passed to regulate the game, because it was feared it would in- terfere with archery. Maybe there will be a constitu- tional amendment against the game in this country before long. At present it seems to be giving too much pleasure to too many people. Even some churches have opened their doors to men amnd women in golfing costume. This must be going too far. Golfers may have to watch an insidious propaganda against them in the coming Congress. Some day they may wake Up to find the game strictly regulated or prohib- ited as a pernicious influence 1n American life.
