Whenever these old rivals meet there

Encourage golfers

1t is certainly to be hoped that the
special committee of the Board of
Trade will be successful in its en-
deavors to have established a public
golf course within walking distance of
the center of the city.
While occasionally used, the course in
Rock Creek Park is too far removed,
and if one is built where it can be more
easily reached it will serve the pur-
pose of giving healthy exercise to many
who are unable to meet the expense of
joining one OF the clubs here which
foster the Scottish sport.
Col Spencer Cosby, Superintendent of
Public Buildings and Grounds, is said to
be in favor of the plan. so there seems
to be no sound reason why the links
should not be built.

GEORGETOWN FIVE
READY FOR FRAY
Game Tonight With Virginia
Will Test Metal of
Both Teams.

The Georgetown basketball five con-
cluded it's practice for the Virginia
game at the Arcade rink tonight, and
Captain Schlosser is confident that the
team is in the best shape possible for
this the most important contest Of the
year.
Both teams are contenders for the
championship of the South, and as
Georgetown has already felt the sting
of defeat at the hands of the Orange
and Blue this season, 1t is up to the
Hilltoppers to win tonight. At the
earlier game the Blue and Gray five
could not present its greatest strength,
as three of the regulars were unable
to play.
This time the squad is intact, and
after a week of strenuous practice
Captain Schlosser hopes to see victory
perch with the Hilltoppers.
The Virginia Georgetown dance Is
feature that Is attracting much atten-
ton, and from present indications is
bound to be a success. The dancing will
start at $50.

Blond Antipodean Is but 20
Years Old and Com.
ing Fast,

Alfred Goullet, the baby of the pro-
fessional class. will get the nance of
a lifetime when he meets National
Champion Frank Kramer in a match
race at the Velodrome tomorrow after
noon. If he can trim the champion IT
will mean a return match with the
winner of the Clarke-Lawson-Krame
matches in Salt Lake City and a
match with Worlds Champion Thorn
valid Ellegaard in Paris later in the
fall. This modest youngster from the
Antipodes is riding like a fiend. and II
he uses the right kind of Judgment he
should win the big match race tortor-
row. He trimmed Kramer once before
this season in exactly the same kind
of a match. and he is in condition to
repeat.
Goullet has got everything, and he is
picked for the coming champion. He
was born just twenty years ago in
Darum, "a village in Gippsland, Aus
tralia. "Goullie'' worked on his fathers
farm and went to school until he was
10 years old, when he started to race
on the roads in the vicinity of Darunl.
After winning a few roa races Goullet
went TO Ballarat n won his first
track race, the big Ballarat wheel race,
from the 1i0-yard mark. 1t was a one
mile handicap. n Goullet was such q
little shaver they handed him a longer
mark than he really deserved. About
this time mcfarland built the first
saucer track in Australia. II was an
eight-lap affair. and Goullet took TO
this track like a duck 10 water.

Fem, two of the greatest pursuit
riders ever developed in America.
Goullet is a fighter. and he will never
give up. His fighting spirit was prob
ably inherited from his grandfather.
who was an admiral in the English
navy. He was a bear in the three six
day races in which he has started. He
ran second in the long grind at Buff
falo, was third at Boston and finished
fourth in the New York race-not a
bad performance for a youngster 10
years old, who had never been in a
long race before.
This has been by far Goullet's best
season. He has been the runner-up TO
Kramer all season in the number of
races won. While Kramer has won
IA firsts, 8 seconds 5 thirds and no
fourths, Goullet has won II hrsts. c
seconds, 8 thirds and s fourths. The.
are both ahead of Jackie Clarke in the
number of races won. Goullet has been
placed in more races than any othe,
rider. and, barring accidents, he has q
fine chance to be leading In the num-
Der of races o al the close of the
season.
The Australian is in fine shape. and
expects to win the match with Kramer
tomorrow. He will also be a starter
in the hve-mile open professional, al
though both he and Kramer will rat
the one-miIe handicap. The other
races on the card are a two-mile
amateur championship. three-mile
handicap and a two-mile consolation
ace for the amateurs and one at two
miles for the pros.

several lengths ahead of the Argonauts.

ting list.
The timely batting Archer has been
doing of late, combined with the bat
ting slump experienced by Hoffman. is
the cause OF the change. This will
break up the long time combination of

but will not change the combination
of right and left-handers. BY pro-
noting Archer to third place Manager
Chance hopes to utilize the cateher's
pinch-hitting ability to better advan-
tage because of the frequency with
which Shecksrd and Schultz get on
