TRAVERS |SSTRONG
FOR MEDAL PLAYERS
Believes This Style Is Fairest
and Should Be Adopted for
Title Match.

Jerome D. Travers. who has been ad-
vocatinr a medal play test for the nn-
tibnal amateur championship. expressed
his views in puhlid at the dinne- given
by the Crawford Golf Club ir. the rooms
OF the whitehall Club for Max r. Mar
ston and Edwin NJ. Wild. az New York.
recently.
II have been advocating the adoption
Of a seventy two-nole medal play round
as tho amateur championship test for
over two years" said Jerry. and l
hnve been doing so because i am con-
vinced that 1t is the only fair test.
TO begin WITH. Il eliminates two ele-
ments of luck. tn. luck OF the draw
and the stymie. which I think should
be abolished, except possibly when a
man styinies himself.
"rhen, too, n man Is playing not
against one opponent. but against ev 'ry
man In the. field. and as you hold the
championship to pick the best man
of his opponents?'

A. K. G. Certificates to Be
Late in Reaching Folks

Owing to the rush OF business at
the American Kennel Club consequent
to the rule that all dogs whose sire
aud dam have not been previously
registered must be registered by Jan

unable to fNrntsh any one with GER

that half the fanciers waited until

ECONOMY Plan
PUTS FATE OF
BAND IAD0UB'I||
Supervisor Larsen's Retrench-
ment Policy Would Discon-
tinue the Service
Supervisor William

Supervisor William Larsen has
started something.
He has an elaborate program of re-
trenchment for the rest Of the term
of the supervisors and he is going to
present ii at caucus to be held to-
might Prominent among the items in
il Is the elimination of the Hawaiian
band, at saving to the city of about
S24 900 year. The rest of the pro
gram includes cuts in the garbage and
park departments and the elimination
of a few items in the road depart.
nent's program, totaling an additional
$1,000
Larsen de6fared this morning, in
discussing the retrenchment program,
that he knew the elimination of the
band would create public furore,
but" he said, 1T is an extravaganza
that the city in the present state OF
its finances can very well do without
! know all the objections to withdraw.
ng the band from the city payroll,
but as see it. il must CO."
Wallace r. Harrington, president OF
the Ad Club, does not take the same
view of the situation. 1T would be a
mistake. mistake from a community
standpoint. mistake from a business
standpoint" he says. "The band is
one of the greatest assets we have. II
has been associated with the life OF
the city for 40 years. 1t is not an ex.
travagance, as Larsen thinks, but an
asset-a tourist asset and a commun.
ity asest."
Mr.. Harrington points out that now,
when the city has just commenced to
reap the harvest OF its years of pro-
motion work is the poorest time of
all to eliminate the band. THE
strongest impression the departing
tourists carry away with them is the
scene at the dock-the leis, the swim.
mers diving from the steamers and
the band playing, with the soft strains
Of Aloha De- floating out over the
water he declared today. IF the
band is eliminated. it will not be long
before the divers and the leis are
things Of the PAST. Then the individ-
uality OF Honolulu, the greatest tour
lst asset 1t has, will be gone"
hr. Harrington states that he will
bring the attention of the Ad Club to
the proposal to do away with the band
If any action is taken by the caucus
tonight.
He suggested that If the supervisors
wanted to save money they might take
steps to improve the efficiency of the
city departments. 1T is not the ex-
penditures by the board that the peo-
pie OF Honolulu are objecting to. 1t
is the fact that they are not getting
value for their money that causes all
the kicking, he declared. He pointed
out that the last board before leaving
office hired great many men in diff
ferent city departments and that there
has been no effort to eliminate this
surplus, with its enormous overhead
cost. That is why the present board
is in hole" he asserted.
