PTIMISTIC predictions to the L3 contrary, there are not more | than 550,000 golfers in thei United States, if you can be- | lieve the figures gathered by E. C.| Conlin, one of the big shots in the United States Rubber Co., an or-| ganization which sells a flock of the | golf - balls pounded around by hope- | ful duffers. Eddie Conlin is a big figure in/ golf and golf ball manufacturing, | and his organization is interested in knowing just how many golfers there | are in this country in order that they may gauge their production to meet peak demand. | His bright young men, scattered through 40-odd key cities in the United States have made careful esti- mates for Conlin and despite the optimistic outbursts of some folk who claim there are 5,000,000 golfers in the United States, Conlin insists that | he cannot account for much more than one-tenth that number. Difficult to Calculate. T'S a hard matter to calculate— this matter of how many golfers there are in the United States. There are members of clubs, who | play two or three times a week, and | there are non-members who play the | public courses usually and the club| courses occasionally, all of whom must be classed as potential buyers of golf balls. Take 'me all year in and year out, and you will probably find there are about 2,000,000 persons in this‘ country who play golf occasionally or habitually. Certainly there must be | somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000 to 10,000 people around Wash- ington who play golf, figuring the membership of 15 clubs at an average of 400, and the thousands who use the public courses. The United States Golf Associa- tion has on its rolls today about 850 member clubs, which will average somewhere near 300 members to the club. This figures out around 200,000 | members in these clubs. But golf is| not played alone at the country clubs. Probably the bulk of golfers do not have memberships at golf clubs but use the public courses as their playerounds. But how to fizure how many of these there are? And how many repeaters? Crowd Public Courses.

BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer, VICTORIA CLUB, RIVERSIDE, Calif,, January 5.—John Revolta of Milwaukee and Ed Babcock, Los Angeles, won the second qualifying round of the Riverside amateur-pro | golf tournament with a fine foot ball card of 33—33—66, 6 strokes under par. They played over sodden fairways and slow greens. While it was 3 strokes more than £ Y ‘@ by W. 4 \~£ S FAR apart as the poles in golf form, there are two vet- eran club-swingers around Washington who have gath- ered in the championship sheaves until today between 'em they have held a total of 14 club championships. _Howard Nordlinger, the slim, black- haired Woodmont Country Club cham- pion, has won eight titles at the club the graying Columbia Country Club | title holder, has won his club’s cham- pionship six times. And from the way | they are going it appears as if they may go on forever. Championships of the other golf clubs around Washington are spread around among the members.

The same is true, with added em- phasis, in cities like New York and Chicago, where long lines await at| dawn at Mosholu, Van Cortland Park | and other public layouts in New York, and Jackson Park, Marquetie Park and other fee courses in the Illinois | city. i Around Chicago alone. with its | 100-0dd clubs, and its multiplicity of public courses and daily fee courses, | there must be 150,000 men and | women who can be classed as golfers because they play a dozen rounds or 80 a year. Personally, we believe Eddie Conlin in view of the playing conditions. Revolta, pro of the Tripoli Country Club, turned in a fine 69 in his own right to win $100 first prize money. Five Tie for Second. IVE teams tied for second place with 67s, with the pro-members receiving $45 each for their share of the second qualifying round money of $500. These were: Tod Menafee, San Antonio, Tex., and Lieut. B. A Schreiver, a former Texan now of March Field, near here; Orville White, St. Louis, and Paul Sleppy, Long | Beach; Dal Jeffers, Santa Ana, and is all damp with his estimate of only | Louie Alabaster, Riverside; Eddie Loos, | a little more than half a million | Chicago, and W.

President George P. James of the association, anxious to have represen- tation on the governing board of the U. 8. G. A. for this section, plans a vigorous membership campaign this year in order that the numerical power of a large group of clubs within the Mid-Atlantic organization may present to the U. 8. G. A. a powerful argument why the section of the country embracing Maryland, Vir- ginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and the District of Columbia should be represented in the inner councils of the national golf body. Of course, President Harding’s membership was more or less honorary, for, despite the enthusiasm of Harding for the game and a willingness to serve in any ca- pacity, he did not have time to dabble in the administrative affairs of the game he loved. The fact is that not since 1920 has this section had real representation in the U. 8. G. A. In that year Dr. Wal- ter 8. Harban was a vice president, and apparently slated for the highest office. He brought to the Columbia Country Club the national open cham- pionship of 1921 (won by Jim Barnes) and then dropped out of office. Since his time there has been no active rep- resentation in the high councils of the U. 8. G. A. by a man from the popu- lous Middle Atlantic sector, barring the technicians and scientists who give so freely of their time and talents on greens section work. Able as they are, they have nothing to do with the administration of the game or the compounding of the policies of the na- tional golf body. But all this will be changed if President James of the Middle At- lantic Association has his way. He has interested the Maryland State Golf Association and the Virginia State Golf Association in securing repre- sentation on the governing board and you can look for some action along this line within two years. It takes & long time and a lot of work to arrive, But it’s worth it in the award of prize be a man who speaks for the entire section, whether he be from Maryland, Virginia or Carolina. On that the officers of the Mid-Atlantic associa- tion and the State associations agree. Too long has the U. S. G. A. over- looked this hot-bed of golf, James de- | clares, and he is going to see what can be done about it. JONES IS REINSTATED Bobby of Rochester, Not Atlanta, in Amateur Golf Again. NEW YORK, January 5 (#).—The United States Golf Association today reinstated Robert T. Jones as an ama- teur. It wasn’t Atlanta’s Robert T. Jones, | but Robert Trent Jones of East Ro- | chester, N. Y. who, along with 20 others, was restored as amateur golf- ers at the associations’ annual meeting. Golf Now Boasts Streamline Ball ND now it's to be the stream- line golf ball. A Midwestern concern is coming out this year with a golf ball which they claim is streamlined because of its unusual markings. The pill will have markings in a series of chains all the way around in place of the customary dimples around the sphere. ' The dimple marking, by the way, has almost completely taken the place on the mesh-marking which was popular a few years ago. Experimental tests have shown that the dimple marking provides a ball with truer and steadier flight and longer carry. And did you know that a golf ball without any marking at all—a perfectly smooth sphere—can’t be driven more than 100 yards on the carry? It will duck and weave and Just won’t go anywhere at all. The markings or cups tend to steady the ball in the air and give it that soaring appearance which is deceptive, for a golf ball hardly soars. It just goes out until the rebound of the windings begins to slow down and then it starts to has competed in a few of the big| the making and before a new com- invitation tournaments, and might have won some of them had he had the time to play. 28 years a business man doesn’t have much time for tournaments.

Banagan of the winning Irish grin, the unofficial handicapper at Colum- bia, arranger of more golf matches than any man around Washington and good fellow par excellence. “Yep, it leoks like a big year for this game, and I wonder if Mr. Curry is ever coming back.” The “Mr. Curry” of whom Red spoke is none other than John F. Curry, the big political shot from Brooklyn, whom Red handled one day in a manner in which Mr. Curry never had witnessed before. They still laugh about the incident at Co- lumbia, but knowing Red as they do, it makes them appreciate even more what a gem this big Irish lad is. John F. Curry joined the club, send- ing his initiation fee and dues. The board acted on his application and then nothing more was heard from Curry. One day the Brooklyn leader breezed into town and thought he would step out to see what kind of a place this Columbia Country Club was. He called Senator Bob Wagner on the phone and asked’ him what the ropes were at Columbia. Wagner, who has been around some himself, told him to see a guy named Banagan. 8o out Curry went to see Banagan. He walked in and asked for the red-head. Up came a big hulk of 8 lad, a big grin spreading over his face, greet him something like : “Hello, Mr. Curry, Senator Il Come Back. Wagner called me up and told me you were coming out. Did you bring | your clubs along?” The answer came in the affirmative. “Well, you can start in 15 minutes with Bob Quirk, and you will give him 2 up.” “What,” said Curry, “I can't give| any one anything up.” “Yes you can,” said Banagan. “We've got to find out about you here at Columbia and even if you iose a dollar we will know what to do about you in the future.” Now John F. Curry has had some experience with Irishmen with win- ning grins, and he knew a born poli- ticilan when he saw one. So meekly he got into his golf clothes and went out to play. The incident is char- acteristic of Red Banagan. WO0O0D TOPS NET ENTRY Star Netman Seeded First for Miami-Biltmore Meet. MIAMI, Fla., January 5 (#).—Sid- ney B.

RACING RIVALRY HURTS | Maryland Tax Cut Held Essential to Raise Purses. BALTIMORE, January 5—“It i3 our deliberate opinion, reluctantly ar- rived at, that to save racing in the State there must be a revision downe ward of the taxes paid under t present law, so that the tracks will be in a position to increase purses to meet outside competition.” This is the sum and substance of the Maryland Racing Commission's 1934 report, submitted to Gov. Albert | C._Ritchie. i ‘The commission’s report shows that, after deduction of expenses, $863.269 was turned over to the State during the year as revenue from the four big tracks—Havre de Grace, Pimlico, Laurel and Bowie, a decline of $36,632 | from 1933. | This revenue was derived from three | sources—the $6,000 a day license | charged each track, totaling $600,000; the 15 per cent tax on net income, | amounting to $29,032, and the 1 per cent tax on the money bet, totaling $253,017.
