HICAGO, July 23.—Golf, at least daily fee golf courses, where the butcher, baker, candlestick maker and milliner can sling a bag of clubs over their shoulders and follow the ball through the rough, ap- pears to have escaped the currgnt business depression. According #o the latest report from Messrs. Herbert and Joe Graffis of golf- dom, who keep account of such| matters, there were 86 new daily| fee courses opened for play in 23i States between June 1 and July 10. That is a healthy commentary on | the hold the game has on people un- | able or unwilling to belong to private | clubs. It would seem that daily fee and municipal courses would be the first to feel the pinch of hard times. But such does not appear to be the case and in most of our golfing centers the public courses are well crowded, particularly over week ends. The pro- fessional at one of Chicago's larger daily fee courses reports that business is equal to that of last year and with no_reduction in greens fees. There are now 991 municipal and daily fee courses operating in the Unit- | ed States. They range from simple | nine-hole layouts, without club houses, | t pretentious 18-hole courses with comfortable locker rooms. Most of the newsr ones provide, as nearl - sible, the conver States her ackward in development of daily fee golf courses | now are getting into the popular sv. The Dakotas are going in strongly golf, and this Summer North Dakota has’ opened three courses and South Dakota two. | North Caralina has four new ones | and West Virginia two. Sixteen new | courses are operating in New York, | and on the New Jersey side of the Hud- | son, eight additional ones have opened | to_take care of metropolitan players. The annual report on municipal golf courses, published by ihe United States Golf Association, shows that only 34 | of the 48 States have courses main- | tained by municipal governments. But several of the States lacking munic- ipal courses have privately owned daily fee layouts to make up for the shortage The municipal and daily fee stars will have their spot in the public | light when the national public links championship is held over the Keller course, St. Paul, August 4 to 8. Twenty- | one cities were represented in the inter- | city team cnampionship fcr the Warren | G. Harding Trophy in the 1930 cham- | pionship at Jacksonville, and a larger fleld is anticipated at St. Paul. THREE POLOISTS RAISED | NEW YORK, July 23 (#).—Three new seven-goal players have been created by the Handicap Committee of the United States Polo Association, which raised the ratings of several | players in its Summer meeting. | The new seven-goal men are Harold E. Talbot, jr, leader of the Roslyn, | Y., team; James P. Mills of Old | Aiken, and Edward Baldwin of the Ha- | wail Polo and Racing Club. All three were raised from six goals. Eldridge T. Gen another member of Old | Aiken, was raised from five to six The changes chiefly were among the college players. At Harvard, in addi- tion to Gerry. Fred Nicholas went to three goa's from two: C. C. Rumsey from one to two and C. Cook frm one to two. At Yale, in addition to Mills, Lawrence Baldwin was raised from three to four and Raymond Guett. brother of Winston, and Philip Igl hart were raised from four to five. William Post, 2d, was raised to six, Leonard Firestone to four and Byrnes MacDonald to three among the Prince- ton players. Frank Hitchcock, brother of the famous Tommy, had his handicap raised from one to two goals and C. V. Whitney, prominent sportsman and race horse owner, was put up to four from three goals.

F the Keep-Up-With-the-Jones’ l spirit prevailed at Seat Pleas- ant, the lower end of Prince Georges County woald produce an unheard-of entry in the third annual metropolitan district horse shoe championships, sponsored by The Star, to start next Monday. Seat Pleasant’s rival in all things, Capitol Heights, just across the District Line, was in a fair way today to establish a metro- |politan record for entries, let |alone having outstripped its neighbor community in a strange | competition. When the horseshoe boom hit Wash- | ington and its environs two years ago | with the holding of The Star's first tournament, Seat Pleasant put on a | corking town championship event, and Capitol Heights hardly was a success.

But it didn’t get much | of a rise out of the rival community, and Iast year was a repetition of the first, | But this time Capitol Helghts decided to do something about it in & large way. | And_the result?
