A-—16 o8 PORTS. Man of U. S., Other Aces in District Loop. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. I District Bowling League, for the most notable feat of the infant season.

In the spot where generally is found parative kid who a month ago had yet to get a taste of big-time rolling. the Occidental star, and four ahead of Ollie Pacini and Howard Parsons. ‘when a poor 337 set dropped him into Sifth place. Harrison Gives Him Chance. BUT instead of being the most talked-of bowler in town today, May would still be just another shoot- er among the hundreds here had not Joe Harrison, captain of the new Rose Liquor Store team, recognized his latent talent and given him his chance under the big tent. In contrast to Harrison's own rise, which was climaxed only after years of plugging, May today finds himself the first youngster ever to break in and be leading the country’s fastest league after a month’s bowling. It was years before Harrison finally achieved the notice that May has gained, through the former's confi- dence, within four weeks. Last season May rolled in the Rec- reation League, but when Harrison was given the “go-ahead” signal by Ben Rose, a long-time follower of big league bowling, to form a team to represent his firm, May was one of the first whom Joe signed. Harrison figured the league needed new blood, but a touch of genius in no way de- tracts from the desired novelty. Sharing Team Lead. A STRIKING parallel resulted, for, matching May’s sensational de- but, his Rose Liquor teammates have set a pace which today finds them sharing the lead of the league with the veteran Occidental pinmen. Each has won 9 of 12 games for a .750 perecentage for four matches. How long the lead of this “fresh- man” will stand up is conjectural, for with Clarke fast on his heels a differ- HENRY MAY. ence of only 25 pins stands between the seasoned veteran and the promis- ing but youthful recruit. Clarke holds & 127-4 average for the first dozen games. | But even should the youngster fade | & bit tomorrow night, when he and | his mates go against Arcadia at the Lucky Strike alleys, he will have had the satisfaction of a higher early- season average than either Ed Blake- ney or Harrison, whose percentages of 125 and 126 at this stage of the cam- paign a year ago were considered ex- traordinary. = Chance to Make Gains. WHIL!: the Rose Liquor boys are ! facing Arcadia, which has yet to win a game, Occidental, led by Clarke and Smith, will invade George- town Recreation, the home site of their | opponents, the Heurich Brewers. The Brewers, now in third place, have won 77 games in 12 starts and need a clean sweep to forge ahead of Occidental tomorrow evening. Washington Brewery, only one game out of the lead, plays host to the nine- times - beaten Georgetown quint at Temple, and, with Pacini leading the way, may take the lead should either Rose Liquor or Occidental falter. Parsons leads his Lucky Strike mates {nto Convention Hall for a match with Convention Hall, with the teams pos- sessing somewhat reversed records. Lucky Strike is in fourth place, with 7 victories and 5 defeats, while Con- vention Hall is two notches lower, with 8 triumphs and 7 setbacks. FIELD TRIAL DATES SET. ALBANY, Ga.

Back From Rest in Woods, Welter Champ Has One Bout, Seeks More. BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associatea Press Sports Writer. | HICAGO, October 21.—Barney | Ross, welterweight champion | | of the world, today starts { hunting for chins to punch. Back from 17 days of roughing it in the Wisconsin woods, the 147-pound title holder opened a training cam- paign preparatory to the first defense of his championship since he de- throned Jimmy McLarnin for the second time more than a year ago. He has signed to meet the winner of the Izzy Jannazzo-Ceferino Garcia | bout, slated for New York October 30. ‘The title contest is set for Madison Square Garden November 27. The black-haired champion plans & busy Winter season in America, since the collapse of negotiations for a bout with Jack Carroll, Australian chal- lenger, originally scheduled for Syd- ney on December 8. Charles Lucas, the Australian promoter, still is burn- ing up the cables trying to reopen negotiations, but Sam Pian, co-man- ager of Ross, said he would give no further consideration to the Aus- tralian venture, so long as opponents | are available in this country. Looks to Title Scrap. the championship bout in New York next month,” Pian said today. “We intend to have him box just as often as opponents show up. After meeting the winner of the Jannazzo- Garcia affair, there is McLarnin in sight as a possible opponent, and also Lou Ambers. Ross is spoiling for a fight and chaffing under the inactiv- | ity. He wants action and is ready for it.” | The welterweight division will get | new vitality as a result of Ross' de- | cision to box frequently. Failure of the Australian bout to | materialize cost Ross $52,000 in guar- antees. The Australian promoter, in- were called off, that he could’ raise the money, objected to posting it in | advance in Chicago as the contract Ross appeared to be in marvelous as a result of roughing it in the in- vigorating outdoors of the Wisconsin woodlands. His face was tanned to an Indian brown, and his trim-lean body did not carry more than 4 or 5 pounds of excess weight, which will melt off with the first few days of training. PROMISING HEAVY SOUGHT BY JACOBS Promoter Is Staging Card of All| Hefties in Hunting Mate or Rival for Louis. BY the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 21.—Pro- moter Mike Jacobs, who does prac- tically all the guiding of Joe Louis' fiscic career and recently located an- | other brilliant prospect in Middle- | weight Harry Balsamo, goes look-y ing for another promising heavyweight tonight when he stages his third box- ing show at the Hippodrome. With one eye out for a fighter who will serve either as an opponent for Louis or as a drawing card in the same class with the Detroit Negro, Jacbos has arranged an all-heavy- weight card featuring a 10-rounder between Arturo Godoy of Chile and Leroy Haynes, big Philadelphia Ne- gro. In the semi-final Gunnar Bar- lund, newcomer from Finland, who made an impressive debut by knock- ing out Sandy McDonald on the Louis-Jorge Brescia card, tackles Abe Feldman of‘ New York. Godoy is a newcomer to New York rings, but he has compiled a fairly good record in South America and Spain. Haynes, twice conqueror of Prima Carnera, may also turn out to be a good prospect. The winner probably will be matched with Al Ettore of Philadelphia. Barlund is likely to get a real test in a 10- rounder against Feldman, a strong and experienced trial horse. TABLE TENNISERS MEET. ‘The District of Columbia Table Ten- nis Association will hold an important meeting at 8:30 o'clock tonight at 403 Eleventh street northwest. Teams interested in joining the A, B and C Leagues have been requested to have representatives at the meeting. — MATHIAS BOXES EVANS. Bob Mathias will tangle with Bingo Evans in & welterweight semi-final to "WE ARE getting Ross ready {or] the feature scrap involving Lou Gevin- son, local featherweight, and Mike Koerner, Norfolk sailor, in the Nae tional Guard boxing show at Turner’s Arena November 4. ¢ \ OLES-in-one are screwy things. No two guys in recent golf history around Washington have been knocking the ball closer to the cup than Al Houghton, the Maryland State open champion, or Roger Peacock, twice District ama- teur titleholder. The way that pair have nestled iron shots up against the pin on short holes ever since they first staged to play good golf, 10 years and more ago, it seems impossible that they haven't been able to whack one into the cup. But they haven't. Take Al's two shots on the third and four- teenth at Congressional yesterday, both played with a spoon. At the third he hit a ball so true and straight that it actually struck the pin and rolled a few feet away—from a dis- tance of 190 yards. At the fourteenth, a 225-yarder, his spoon shot ended just four inches from the cup. Al has played a lot of golf courses in un- believable figures like his 61 at Wash- ington two years ago, his 63 at Ken- wood and flocks of cards like 66s and S0 on. EACOCK has whacked the ball around Indian Spring twice in 62, which happens to be nine shots better than par. He has played the par 71 (it was then) Manor course in 64, seven under. Obviously in all three of these rounds he had a lot of shots which were practically “gimme” putts. And yet neither he mnor Houghton ever holed in one from the tee. ‘They are screwy things. I know. I was lucky enough to make one on the 175-yard ninth hole at Congres- sional yesterday. Sure it was a good shot. But there isn't a golfer in the city who hasn't hit many a shot just as good. That ball just happened to take the roll of the green in the right manner, happened to be spent as it rolled over the cup, and so, fortunate- | ly, it rolled in. At least 99 per cent luck, but what a thrill. The point is that many very fine golfers have hit many hundreds of shots which might as well have ended in the hole, but by some quirk or some funny kick they didn’t. Ask Clyde Asher.about it. Clyde is undoubtedly the hole-in-one champ of Washington. He's had five of 'em. “Sure they're lucky,” says Clyde. “Any man knows when he has hit a good shot, but for that ball to end in the oup is 50 much luck. There's so much that can happen on a big green. One stiff blade of grass, for example, can toss a rolling ball off the line.” So it's all sort of dumb and funny, after all. But it's fun to make one. I know. I've been lucky three times. As GOOD & golfer as Bobby Jones had to wait 18 years before he made one. And Chick Evans, prob- ably the finest iron player ever de- veloped in the amateur in this country, has had but two in 34 years of golf. It's all nuts, like that one yes- terday. NLY one more big event is on the schedule of the Women'’s District Golf Association, following the field days held yesterday for first, second and third teams\at Congressional and Chevy Chase. That's the invitation tourney slated for Beaver Dam on Oc- tober 28. Of course there’s the little matter of a team match at Columbia today between picked teams from Washington and Baltimore, but the rank and file don't get into those things. Betty P. Meckley, District champion, and Marion Brown, the budding young star from Manor, tied at 87 for the gross prize among first team members at Congressional, and Mrs. Meckley won on the draw. Mrs. J. H. Bullock of Indian Springs won the team cap- tain's net prize with 104—15—89. Mrs. C. P. Medley of Manor won the main net award with 92—10—82, followed by Mrs. Bishop Hill of Chevy Chase and Mrs. Y. E. Booker, also of Chevy Chase, who tied at net 83s. Miss Brown was next at net 84, aided by a 4 handicap. Mrs. W. 8. Masten, Washington club champion, won the gross award for second team players with a card of 94. Mrs. C. T. Penn of Congres- sional and Mrs. E. M. Amick of Co- lumbia tied for the team captain’s prize with net 87s and Mrs. Penn won on the draw. Mrs. GAH. Parker of Pop, Son Gridder Numbered Alike By the Associated Press. COLUMB!A,‘ Mo.—“Pop” won't have to announce “that’s my boy” if one of the Missouri players makes a brilliant play against Iowa State Saturday.’ Every one will know it in advance. According to plans for the “par- ents’ day”, game, parents of each player will be given the number of their son’s uniform to wear in the stands for identification purposes. Al D. C, WEDNESDAY, to Harass Colonials Here Friday Night PORTER SHEPPARD, Halfback. Kenwood won the major net prize in this division with 99—15—84, closely followed by the 99—14—85 registered by Mrs. F. D. Letts of Con- gressional. Other winners included Mrs. C. E. Purdy of Beaver Dam, 95—10—85, and Mrs. Amick, 101— 14—87. MISS KATE SCULLY won the gross prize in the third division matches at Chevy Chase. Playing over her home course Miss Scully scored 101. Mrs. Oscar Coolican won the team captain’s prize with 104—20—84. Top scores in the net class were: Mrs. R E. Joyce, Kenwood, 109—27—82; Mrs, D. W. Smith, Beaver Dam, 117— 33—84; Mrs. W. C. Hackman, Beaver Dam, 113—26—87; Miss Mary Min- nix, Shouse, Chevy Chase, net 87. District Building employes, headed by Commissioner Allen, a darned good Columbia, and Miss Marion | golfer, will gather at Indian Spring| next Monday and Tuesday to play in their annual golf jamboree. Byrn Cur- tiss, who used to southpaw the ball around Indian Spring, may give George Allen quite a rub for the gross award. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR MEMBER-B ot the Boston Red Sox are to be deprived of the emblems usually presented to world champions ‘because they violated a rule of the National Commis- sion forbidding players to engage in exhibition games after the world series. In addition, 60 or 70 other major leaguers who have played post-season games are subject to penalties. Fifteen members of the Washing- ton district of the American Racing Pigeon Union are attending the sixth annual convention at Phila- delphia. Two local men are officers of the national association, W. F. Dismer being financial secretary and treasurer and D. C. Buscall recording secretary. Greatly outweighed, Georgetown Playgrounds soccer team came from behind to defeat the Cathe- dral School for Boys at Mount 8t, Albans Field, 2-1. Ahlenfeld was the individual star for the winners, while Russell Hardy, smallest mem- ber of the playground eleven, pl_lyed well. LLING ALT DAVIS' Rosslyn girls are out to make it nine straight in the Ladies’ District League tonight, resuming their pin- firing just one week after their second match of the season resulted in a record set for that loop. With their own alleys at Rosslyn the scene of tonight’s activities, Ross- lyn will entertain the Highway Engie neers in one of the evening's four matches. Should they come anywhere near to last week’s mark of 1,750, there is little doubt that the ‘perfect record of Blanche Wootton, Lucy Rose, Evelyn Ellis, Gladys Lynn and Rena Levy will remain untarnished. In other settos, National Beer and Lucky Strike roll at Georgetown, Tem- ple entertains R. E. A. Cleaners, Ar- cadia plays host to Convention Hall and Swanee and Georgetown clash at Lucky Strike. WHM local pinspillers are doing a bit of sensational scoring, con- sider the very classy average of Johnnie Miller of Baltimore. After 15 games the well-known star has a 138 average in the Patterson Alley League. John 8. Blick, former Washington bowling magnate, is here from Atlanta on a visit, staying at the Hamilton Hotel. Blick, who first conceived the idea of bowling rivalries among the colleges, will see his plan nationally recognized this year when the first annual intercollegiate duckpin tour- nament is held on his Atlanta drives. Five local colleges are expected to send teams to the new event, interest being high at George Washington, Georgetown, Maryland, Catholic and American Universities. Each school will be entitled to one singles entry, s doubles entry and a five-man-team entry. Elimination tests will be held in the near vicinity, with survivors the finals at Atlanta. Cool's Fountain still was in place in the Golumbia Heights League TARHEEL ATTACK Wolf Sad as Team Primes for Tulane—Lime Burns Weaken Clemson. ICHMOND, Va., October 21 R P).—North Carolina’s Tar- heels made ready to quit Chapel Hill for the long jaunt to New Orleans after today's practice while most of the other Southern Con- ference teams planned to sharpen their flensive weapons in midweek scrim- ages. Coach Ray Wolf expressed dissatis- | faction with the attack of his varsity in yesterday's drill when the freshmen broke through frequently and stopped the plays he plans to use against Tulane in the important intersectional clash Saturday. Duke gridders divided their attention on offense and defense with Coach Wallace Wade attempting to keep his machine running in the smooth, powerful fashion which carried the Blue Devils to their smashing win over Georgla Tech. Parker of Duke 0. K. ACE PARKER, captain and main cog in the Duke attack, was back after & rest, but it was doubtful if Dick Taliaferro, injured end, will be able to start against Tennessee at Knoxville this week end. The situation was tense in the camps of South Carolina and Clemson on the eve of the big State Fair clash at Columbia on Thursday. Coach Don McCallister's sophomore dominated outfit, which performed brilliantly in the last two games to upset Florida and Virginia Tech, gen- erally was favored over the veteran | Clemson team, crippled by lime burns | received at Wake Forest last week. Jess Neely said only a few of his first- | G Iatrlngen would start. The Citadel's chances against | Davidson in a conference encounter | received a setback with the announce- ment by Coach Tatum Gressette that Archie Jenkins, veteran tackle, would | be definitely out on account of a knee injury. Davidson's regulars were un- able to gain consistently against the Wildcat reserves. Bill Guckeyson, ace Maryland back, ran with the first string and probably will start against Syracuse. 75@ pIN&’S. 7 today as a result of scoring its ninth successive victory last night at Arcadia with a clean sweep of its set with Premier Csb. Harry Aiken showed the way with a 151 game and 409 set. The Fountain boys set a new high game record for the season when they shot a 643, leading to a 1,773 set. Four scoring honors in the Lutheran Church Men's League were divided among three teams last night with the Luther Place team setting the game pace with 581 and one of tis members, Norman Groth, hitting the individual game peak with 158. St. Paul's first team rolled high set, 1,643, while McGrory of Atonement shot a 385 set, best of the evening. Defense and Front Line remain tied for Jeadership of the Veterans of For- eign Wars League, although Depart- ment, in second place, has rolled one more set and has an enviable .666 average. The leaders have won 9 out of 12, while Department has taken 10 | out of 15. TWO teams—Section 1 and 9—are | within one game of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing league-leading Machinists, who have taken 11 of their 15 starts. One of the two team scoring records belongs to the pace- setters who rolled a 1,657 set, but the high team game was set by the sixth-place Surface pin- men, 599, Despite & pace that has gained 17 victories in 21 games, Radio still can- not shake off B.

Indeed, nine teams are within three games of first place, so close is the competition in the 40-team circuit. Crawley’s 164-game for F. & A.

FROM THE SPORTS. L] PRESS BOX Barring Flasks From May Cost Tigers Twelfth Man in Line-Up. BY JOHN LARDNER. f election day only two weeks off, the campaign for the Presidency has been thrown into a tur- moil by an edict from Princeton Uni- versity to the effect that college boys, alumni and other foot ball spectators must check their booze at the gate and remain sober, or thereabouts, during the progress of any and all Princeton foot ball games, It is & stern ruling, stern and hard. The average foot ball fan at Prince- President, can very well duck the is- sue of the Princeton Volstead act. It is important, much more so than what Jimmy Roosevelt said about the N. R. A, or what happened to Senator Vandenberg when he shadow-boxed with a phonograph, or how much dough the Du Pont boys put up for the serial rights to “Oh, Susannah.” In fact, foot ball at Princeton stands or falls with the flask issue. What, No Twelfth Man! WHA’I‘ will become of the twelfth man in the linesup, if booze is harred? ‘What will become of the guy in the fur coat who leads the unofficial cheering section? What will become of the campus iush who chases his hat between the goalposts at halftime? What will become of the girl friend who giggles and says “all right, Tommy, just a little one, it's awfully cold?” And speaking of cold, what does President Dodds of Princeton expect the fans to use for fuel? Hot-water bottles? Wasn't it Emerson who re- marked that if a man can keep warm at a November foot ball game without a nip now and then, the world will build & mousetrap to his door? I think it was Emerson. Emerson or Chaucer. Dr. Dodds—and I am sorry to say that the flower and chivalry of Amer- ican education is behind him—ad- dresses the fans in this wise: “Indulgence in alcoholic beverages at foot ball games has assumed pro- portions which seriously menace the future of the sport as an intercol- legiate activity. On behalf of the friendly rivals of the day who strive to maintain high standards of sports- manship on the fleld, and in the in- terest of the vast majority of spec- tators to whom such drinking is an offense, Princeton University requests that all persons refrain from the use of alcoholic liquors while attending athletic contests under its suspices.” AUGUSTERFER GIVEN QUARTER JOB AGAIN In Old Spot as Washington Pros Get Ready for Portsmouth Clash on Sunday. ENE AUGUSTERFER, former Catholic University quarterback, will be back at his old post on Sun- day, when the Washington Pros play their fourth game of the Dixie League at Griffith Stadium, with Portsmouth’s Cubs furnishing the opposition. Changing positions with Willis Ben- ner, the team captain and coach, last Sunday, Augusterfer will be shifted back into the quarterback position to give the team benefit of his blocking. The backfield will be completed with Lee Carlin and Dick Nelson, all but one of the quartet being of the triple-threat variety. Washington has won two of its three games, while Portsmouth has won only one. COBB'S MOTHER DEAD. LOS ANGELES, October 21 (#).— Ty Cobb, one-time base ball star, flew today to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs, W. H. Cobb, in At- lanta, Ga. LEAGUE SEEKING QUINTS. Berths for five more basket ball teams are available in the United States Government League. Fives in- terested should call Ralph Huls at National 5710, branch 352. eAlways MILD Always UNIFORM ALL LONG-FILLER Games at Princeton NOW, I am not saying that Dr. Dodds has no right to superin- tend the diet of his guests at Palmer Stadium. After all, it is the doctor’s ball club they are coming to see, and it is the doctor’s boys—graduated and non-graduated—who generally lead the revels. But if the doctor gets away with i, where will the thing stop? ‘The mind’s eye conjures up a grisly vision of revenoocers stalking through the cheering section; of G- men confiscating and smashing glass- ware back of the 50-yard line; of the campus lush holding off National Guardsmen with a squirrel gun while mammy and pappy camouflage the still; of Mr. Superior-Pictures-Zizz- baum, chief unofficial alumnus of U. C. L. A being frisked for his bonded rye at the box office; of spe- clal cops taking samples of customers’ breath between the halves. During prohibition a foot ball fan | could drink in peace. I do not make | this point with the idea of encouraging the return of prohibition, but simply to get it on the record. Dr. Dodds once said that, when the customers at a foot ball game begin to | brutalize themselves with liquor, there is little to choose between them and | the crowd at a vulgar exhibition nt{ professional sport. I resent this state- | ment hotly, and also dispute it. Pro- | fessional crowds—crowds at ball games | and fights—do not go in for hard liquor, and if they did they would han- dle it much better than the college crowds do. I will take a professional | crowd over a college crowd any day, for common sense, hard-headedness and general deportment. Has Become an Institution. BUT there is no getting away from | the fact that drinking at foot ball | games is an American institution, like | corn on the cob, and that if the foot ball bug feels he cannot sit through a demonstration of his favorite sport without recourse to stimulants he| ought to be free to stimulate himself | without interference. It is a matter of human rights. I expect that the Presi- | dent and Gov. Landon will take it up immediately, because the man who | ducks this issue is practically court- ing disaster at the polls. There are three ways of handling the i booze problem at foot ball games, | namely and to wit: | (a) Place a diagram of a drunkard’s | liver over the scoreboard. (b) Install & radiator under each seat. (c) Stop the game every five minutes to see what the boys on the field will have. If none of these methods work, then | the flask is here to stay, and the old- | fashioned horse and buggy is doomed | forever. (Copyright 1936, by the North American | Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

CHICAGO, October 21 (#).—The Chicago Bears, always a crowd-puller, are expected to do doubly well in that capacity here Sunday, when they bat- tle the champion Detroit Lions in a game which may go far toward de- termining the 1936 National Profes- sional League champions. The largest crowd of the season— expected to reach 25,000 or more— may see the contest. The Bears have won five straight league games and are the only undefeated eleven in the circuit.

Links Legends Chronicled MAY HAS 12GAME | Deacons Likely AVERAGE OF 195" i NEW MARTIN BOOK FINE GOLF HTORY {Covers Major Part of Epic of Game—Sport’s Stars Deftly Portrayed. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NCE in a great while comes off the press a book from O the pen of a responsible golf writer with background which really goes into the history of the game in such fashion as to carry within its covers a major part of the epic of golf and the great and almost legendary figures who have contributed to America’s popular sport. Such a tome is “Fifty Years of American Golf,” fresh from Dodd, Mead & Co. presses and the facile and understanding pen of H. B. (Dicky) Martin. Dicky Martin, in case you didn’t know, goes far back beyond the wrn of the cenfury in his capacity as a golf chronicler and observer. Well known as a golf cartoonist and writer of 20 years ago, he has seen every major championship for a generation and a half, has been associated with the game in nearly every capacity, and has seen the rise of all the major figures in the game, from the red-coat-and-spats era of the late 90s on up the line to the present. The book fills a gap in the history of golf that has needed filling for many years. Great Chronicle of Game. IT IS a chronicle of the meager bee ginnings of golf, in this country, from the legendary “Apple Tree” gang at St. Andrew, in Yonkers, N. Y., back in 1888, which marked the real start of the game, although golf earlier had been played at Savannah,. in ‘West Virginia, in Illinois. It also is & vastly interesting chronicle of the growth of the famous golf clubs in the United States, of the rise of famous champions, from W. G. Law- rence, first amateur champion in 1894, down to the present; of the outstand- ing matches of other years and re- cent years, and of every phase of the . game from its cradle gays down to the present highly commercialized sport. Dicky has written some fine stuff about Hagen, Jones and Sarazen; about Vardon, Ray and Taylor. And about the development of golf from the days when it was the sport of society to today, when it is America’s great democratic sport. The book fills a long-felt want and should be in the library of every golf addict. One segment of “Fifty Years of American Golf” is given over to the Chevy Chase Club, first of Washing- ton’s major golf clubs. Treats of Chevy Chase. ’I‘H! original Bradley House, first club house at Chevy Chase, was destroyed by fire 10 years and more ago, but a new Bradley House was built and stands on the old site, “There is considerable history econ- nected with the old club house,” says Martin. “When the British forces, during the War of 1812, entered and burned Washington, all,the important State documents were transferred to Chevy Chase by special messengers from the State Department and de posited there for safe keeping. At that time it was * * * off the beaten path, but now an automobile can make the trip in 20 minutes from the ‘White House.” Dicky goes into the history of the golf of Presidents, and says that Wil« son was notified of the sinking of the Lusitania while on the Chevy Chase course. “Warren G. Harding was the most enthusiastic of all the White House occupants who ever attempted to obe tain recreation on the links” he says. “He played remarkably well and could be relied upon to score close to 90.” GRID COACH JOINS PROS.
