regular price for one round at the WASH
ington Country Club is IS cents. and that
is the stipend that Emmett usually draws
from the President 1t is true that a
part Of this might be considered a tip,
for the 35 cents calls for a trudge around
the entire eighteen holes Of the course.
and the President scarcely ever goes more
than ten or eleven holes. And for going
this distance Emmett draws 5 cents u.s.
ually. But he is satisfied. he says. He
is great admirer Of the Chief Executive,
even IL he does sometimes allow himself
a little laugh at the Presidents game.
There are different systems of payment
in force at the different country clubs Of
Washington. At the Washington Country
Club the pay Is straight IS cents
per round. and on a real good day a bow
may make s.5o. This necessitates only
about six hours work.
Two Glasses of Caddiea.
At the Chevy Chase Club, where the
daughters of the President sometime,
play. different scale is used. Caddy
Master Selby has the boys classified.
There is a first and a second class, Those
in the first class are supposed to know
the different clubs and their uses and
to understand the game. They are paid
10 cents per hour, and there In an
understanding that when they are Re.
tanned Tor three hours they are to re-
ceive 10 cents extra. The boys of the
second class are paid the straight Is
cents.
At the Chevy Chase Club careful record
Of the work of the boys Is kept. There
is an index system of cards, on which is
shown the number of balls lost by the
caddies and all the other information a
golfer would like to have before selecting
his caddy.
At the Columbia Country Club there 10
still another wage scale. There are boys
get 80 cents per round. 1t Is explained
that the difference between the pay at
the Columbia Club and the Washington
Country Club Is because the Columbia
course is slightly longer than the other.
The boys on Sunday and Saturdays. when
the crowds are large. are able to make
from 81 to $2.25. according to Caddy Mas
ter Holzwart.
President Wilson also plays at the
Columbia Club, but Mr.. Holzwart says
that he has no favorite caddy there
When the President elects to play there
two of the best boys of the force are
picked out to make his way sS0una the
course easier.

Strike of the Golf CQddies
At Country Club Is Settled
Colored Boys Had Demanded Increase in Pa,
and Officers of the Organization Decide to
Employ White Lads on Links in Future.

All Is quiet tonight along The Potomac
at least that part of the river bank
within the confines of the Washington
Country Club. President Wilson's princi-
pal haunt when inclined toward golfing.
for the strike Of the caddies has been
settled. There is not the slightest danger
of interruption to the Presidents game.
For the last week the officers of the
club have been worried because of dis
sension in the ranks OF the lads who
carry the big leather bags. The force Of
the club consisted partly OF white and
partly Of colored boys, and last week
the colored members came forward with
a demand for a raise in wages. They
wanted 50 cents per pound in place of
the usual 35 The colored caddies were
in the majority at the club, COM
prising about three-fourths of the en-
tire force. Therefore their dissatisfac-
ton was embarrassing.
Yesterday, however. the officers Of the
club, after consideration. issued a rule
forbidding colored boys from coming onto
the club grounds, and hereafter there
will be only white caddies.
Emmett Taft. the small. bright-eyed
youngster who follows President Wilson
around the links on every pleasant day
and takes great pride therein, is one of
the leaders among the white boys, and
was one Of those most active in preserv-
ing peace in their camp. He expresses
himself as satisfied with the present
wage scale. and the other white boys
are behind him.
Force Will he Increased.
Instructor Beckett. Of the Washing
ton Country Club. said last night tia;
there are now available at the club con-
siderably more than thirty white boys.
and that. while the strike caused some
little trouble while 1t was on. in few
days the force of caddies will be III
creased to seventy-five or one hundred
boys, and that things are expected to
run smoothly from now on.

nor the presence Of Ambassador Wilson

GRIFFMEN ROLLING
IN DESPONDENCY
Splendid Fighting Bunch Of 1912 Seem to Have Lost secon
fidence and Are KnIckmg Under to Macknen-Fans Be-
ginning to Lose Faith lin the Teams Chances.
By SENATOR"

The Griffmen seem hopelessly in the
slough of despond. Unless they gather
their wits. and that quickly. they will
be so distanced in the rush for the flag
as to be left behind by the Fourth of
July A little essence Of ginger. and
wee bit of spice and a large dose of
old-fashioned nerve. If given to the
Griffmen before and during this series
with the Mackmen, might have resulted
IN contests rather than mere sluegins
exhibitions by the visitors.
There is no use In picking on a lame.
blind man. He can't do anything. He
perhaps is doing all he can. anyway.
In 1911 Jimmy McAleer swung around
this league with a collection Of latter
demalions that was pie for every other
team In the circuit. 1t would have been
cruelty to have criticised that aggrega-
ton. 1t was doing the best 1t could
under all circumstances. no matter how
little that might have been.
But the Nationals OF 1872 changed this
They played as good ball, as nervy, as
peppery ball as any team In the league
and came close to seiZing the pennant.
The Nationals Of 1912 are playing at
Florida avenue, but their standard of
endeavor has dropped woefully. It is
because they have shown the fighting
spirit In the past that the fans are in
clined now to criticise them. They have
shown what they could do and they
are not doing II.
Perhaps the turn Of the wheel Of fate
The Washington times., 1913-06-27

has brought them up against the Mack
men under wet, soggy conditions which
handicap them. Perhaps 1t is hard luck
that they must meet their jinx oppon-
ents in six games in four days. But
they can hardly excuse themselves
when looking in the mirror for their
apathetic work against the Mackmen.
The Griffmen are not the scrappy. pep
perry, snappy aggregation today they
were two weeks ago. They have lost
their self-confidence.
1t goes without argument that the
Mackmen generally get the 'breaks'
in their contests with the Griffmen.
Hard-hit balls generally go right at
them on easy bounds. Line drives to
the garden fall into their hands with
out much endeavor. Ham hurlers stop
the best hitters on Griff's team. The
Griffmen have bad hops to them In the
infield. fall down on the bases. have to
run miles for long drives in the outfield
and their twirlers collapse In the face
of the stiff cannonade from the men of

time against rowdyism on the ball field.
He has bawled out Joe Birmingham for

viding good umpires rests on Johnson
and he is blissfully ignorant of condi-
