E grew up at the Columbia of the members of that club do not know him and are not acquainted with him or his job it is not the fault of sorrel- thatched D'Arcy Banagan. Almost a decade ago a big youngster— red headed and brimming over with eagerness to go somewhere McLeod, who now has been with Columbia for more than 20 years. D'Arcy Banagan came to Columbia as another of the boys in the golf shop. Today he is assistant professional, gen: eral factotum of all golf activities, ar ranger of matches, arbiter of handi- caps, a general handy man to have around when a golf match needs a fourth, golf promoter extraordinary and, best of all, a willing listener. They make a great combination at Co- lumbia—Freddie McLeod, the little golf “doctor.” who knows ss much about the golf swing and golf in general as . will try|any living man, and D'Arcy Banagan, | grid tactics on George | the big redhead, who has nearly 900 friends’ at Columbia. For if every member of Columbia isn’t the friend of “Red” Banagan it isn't Banagan's fault. He certainly tries to make friends with them all. | THERE are assistant pros and assist- ant pros, but of all of the fine group of aides to the golf profes- i Szabo, Hungarian champion, | sionals about Washington “Red” Ban- agan stands unique. Columbia has not alone a man to help Fred McLeod run the golf shop. Columbia has an insti- tution in Banagan. Without him the club would not seem the same, for Where Chairman George P. James and his Golf Committee run the golf af- fairs of the club, Banagan handles the detalls.

Sherry, Hamer and Montana displayed their wares here about a year and a halfl ago, when the Bowser interests made their unprofitable invasion at the Strand Theater. ‘Tickets for the show are available at Goldle Ahearn’s. Women with escorts will be admitted free. VIRGINIA OKAYS BOXING RICHMOND, Va., March 10 (P)— Amateur boxing bouts have become legal in Virginia. Gov. Pollard signed & measure ex- empting amateurs from the old statute governing “fights between men and be- tween men and animals,” which made all boxers felons. Professional bouts Cid still prohibited under the amended w. Bills to legalize boxing have been of- fered at every session of the Virginia General Assembly for many years, but the present amateur measure is the first to reach the Governor's desk. It permits amateur bouts, even though admission is charged, but limits them to four rounds of three minutes each. CLAIMS SKI RECORD. REVELSTOKE, B.

See Banagan. ‘“See Banagan”| | is the watchword at Columbia. If there | Country Club and if any|is any job to be done, of any nature, | "RED" BANAGAN could have had, | | under any circumstances which have to | |do with improvement of the Columbia | | Country Club, betterment of the game | |of eny Columbia member or & general | boost for the Columbia Club, Banagan | is the gent to see. And if Banagan.| with his Irish sense of the fitness of | | things, believes that he will be impos- | |Ing on the prerogatives of any of the | club committees. no one is quicker to |Tefer the inquirer to the committee | chairman, 'REDDIE McLEOD runs the golf shop. | L' Heisthe boss. But Banagan handles | the details. They work absolutely | without friction and with that complete understanding of their jobs that comes from years of association. Fine ques- tions of golf knowledge are settled by cLeod, the master. Delicate matters of the golf swing and tae rules are handled by Freddie, the man who draws on more than 30 years of bigtime golf competition for his background of sure |and certain knowledge of the game | Banagan handles all other matters per- | ‘aining to the operation of the golf shop. | And if you want to get in a scrap where- |in every ounce of the 230-odd pounds | of a red-headed Irishman with fighting blood is called into play drop a deroga- |tory word about Columbia or about Fred McLeod in the presence of “Red” | Banagan. The Columbia Country Club | and Freddie McLeod are Banagan's | world. There he has grown into man- hood. Under McLeod's tutelage he has developed into the handiest man around a golf club we have seen, angd in that environment he has gained the well- carned respect and admiration of all the n;génbers of Columbia—young and old alike. N handling those delicate border line | | L questions of authority between Golf | | Shop and Golf and Green Commit- | tees Banagan is a master. And he has learned to say “No,” which is a job | well learned. " If Banagan believes he | | has no discretion, he says so in no un- certain terms. There is something of | the ruggedness of the Irish hills about Banagan. Finesse lies in him, but usu- ally his answer is direct. No beating around the bush for him. His convic- tions are deep rooted. | To watch him handle the starting tee at Columbia on a busy Saturday after- | noon is a revelation in smooth operation | of a man well versed in a hard job. Up _k Mrs. Winchell’s bad boy Walter says, Morgan, that's news.” He | Columbia’s | oeen named chairman of the Club House in the locker room “Red” starts to oper- ate around 12 o'clock. He goes from this group to that group, asking if & four- some is made up, or hr:»;h m;r;ym::e needed to complete s match. No mat- | fer how many are needed, “Red” fills | the gap, and many 8 pleasant foursome and many a fine friendship have been | started right there in the Columbia | locker room or on the first tee by the ministrations of “Red” Banagan. He is the jack-of-all-trades diplomat, juster, father confessor and kind ministrator. Without him Columbia would not be the same. in the last four years, either of two fairly lucrative professional jobs around Washington. They were of - fered to him, but he turned them down to stay at his old love. Not many years ago the members of the club wanted to do “Red” a good turn, so quietly and unostentatiously they got together and arranged a little party far the big red- head. Out of that party Banagan came richer by & new watch, a well filled purse of gold and, better still, by & re- | newal of the faith and confidence the members of Columbia Country Club | have in him. | There is only one Banagan. Brusque, efficient, diplomatic, never-failing in his love for the club, Banagan probably will be & fixture at Columbia as long as he wants to remain. And if he ever leaves it will not be with the willing consent of most of the golfers. DWARD A. ST. JEAN, & well known | hotel man, who has served at sev- | eral famed hostelries in this coun- try -and abroad, has been appointed | manager of the Columbia Country Club. | St. Jean, who _comes to Columbia from Asheville, N. C.. now is on the job. He succeeds Willard M. Kochenderfer, mem- ber-manager of the club for two years, | who recently resigned. St. Jean, who comes to Columbia with a successful | record as manager of the former Cham- | berlin-Vanderbilt at Old Point Com- fort, Va. the Elysee Palace Hotel in' Pparis and the Reading and Wakefield Country Clubs of New York, already has taken charge of affairs at Columbia in a manner which House Committee members say bespeak for him continued success. Earl M. Mackintosh, one of prominent members, has Committee and, under the direction of Mackintosh and St. Jean, several im- provements are slated for the club in the near future. Changes in the cuisine have been made and at least one large construction change at Columbia is planned for the near future under the direction of Mackintosh and St. Jean. WILLIAM HARVEY, jr., one of the . prominent golfers of the Indian Spring Golf Club, is chairman of the club Golf Committee. Harvey suc- ceeds Harry H. Kidwell, who served successiully last vear. The appointment was made by the club Board of Gover- nors. Harvey is one of the best golfers EDWARD TAILORING CO. 719 14th St. N.W. *Also blue unfinished worsteds and blue herringbones.

Marked straln means the width must be lessened until, with g;l’gnrnessrslfll r?ulnwlntd, ls’glrex;“: eé of comfort as is ble been achieved. = Loosely muscled and jointed youth feels .slight strain in ‘the left leg on the back pivot, even if the stance be wide. Later years bring no added strain, for the body has been train- k3 o Wy oS 2-27 ed.. But the older man usually ob- viates left leg strain—that is, if he is trying for real form—by a nar- rowed stance. Through it he is apt to attain, too, greater distance and accuracy. Great stylists, like Bobby Jones and MacDonald Smith, eschew the wide stance, and on the whole are more accurate off the tee than those who, like Walter Hagen, employ & wide stance.
