ALL-AROUND !. NAM
WOULD BE GREAT
GOLFER

Francis ouimet, the former national
golf champion, has this to say about
the players who have made good in the
royal and ancient game:
|, In most sports at the end of sea-
son 1t is quite the fashion to select
an All-American team, but this is done
for the sake of sport lovers who like
to engage in. friendly arguments over
the respective reflections. Golf, being
an individual game, it is impossible to
make such a team, although a golf
team is not an unknown quantity.
Unless, however, an international
or international match be arranged, it
Is unlikely that a team, comprising the
foremost golfers, could ever be gotten
together. have often thought just
how well a team of artists would
shoot around a golf course if they
could play the shots they outstrip all
their rivals in.
Take. for instance, the drive. Could
anyone imagine a better man from the
tee than Abe Mitchell? Few Ameri.
cans have seen him play, because he
has never played on this side of the
and will have to take what
l say for granted. To my mind Mitch.
ell is the longest and most accurate
hitter in the world. There may be
longer swatters, but none who are
both longer and more accurate than
the far-hitting Mitchell. He drives,
as a rule, high tee shot with enor-
nous carry and can keep the ball
down whenever necessary. He would
be the man for the first shot.
Evans, Brassle King
With Mitchell driving, few brassie
shots would be needed, but Chick Ev-
ans, with his smooth style and ability
to pick the ball up clearly, would be
my choice. Mike Brady or Jack
Hutchinson are just as clever, and no
doubt could do the work equally as
well, but think the combination for
the woodens should be Mitchell and
Evans.
Jim Barnes would take good care
of the long iron to the green. Power
full and long, Barnes is in a class by
himself when it comes to navigating
a long iron shot. He excels at this
stroke and has no superior.
Vardon
Harry Vardon would lead the
troupe of midiron wielders 1t is i'm
possible to pick a flaw in Vardon's
game, because it is sound beyond be-
lief, but yardon will lay more midiron
shots close to the pin than any man /
know of. His brother professional, ].

COST Of FOOD
PROBED
Many Agencies of Govern
ment Seeking to Clear Up
Serious Problem.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington Feb. 23.-The soaring
cost of foodstuffs throughout the
country today engages the attention
of virtually every governmental
agency bearing any relation to the
food problem. The president and cab
met discussed the situation from
many angles as to cause and posi-
BILE remedies. Views of some were
that the record prices intertwined
with the car shortage, with a con-
gestion Of transportation lines and
are indirectly affected by the sub
marine warfare, which has resulted
in vast accumulation of freight at
eastern po~,s.
The department Of justice agents
resumed with new energy their in
vestigation into prices to determine
if there was an actual shortage of
foodstuffs at large cities where riot
ing occurred. Attorney General
Gregory announced that measures
which will be Of considerable avail''
toward lettering the situation Will
probably be announced shortly.

Five ships arrived Friday, and two

The British steamship Mutlah is

The steamer is here for a large sup

Only eight more working days are

CITY MAY GET.
PUBLIC BELT
AND DOCK
Mayor Hinrichs States That
Disposal of Bonds Under
Consideration.
HAVE ALREADY
BEEN AUTHORIZED
No Suitable Place for NAVY
Boats to Land is I'm
mediate Reason.

Mayor Hinrichs stated yesterday
that he had taken up the matter of
whether or not it would be advisable
right at this time to dispose of the
city belt line and dock bonds, voted
some time ago, and will probably
bring the matter up for action at an
early date.
Several matters have caused the
mayor to take up the question right
at this time. One of these is the
fact, brought out very strongly with
in the past few days, that there is
not now an available public dock
which naval vessels may use for their
email boats. Pa!afox wharf is not
very safe and a few days ago the
mayor learned, thD.dgh c. E. Dob
son, of the dissatisfaction of the
naval people with existing conditions.
Since the two storms of the past
year, Palafox and other docks have
not been ent rely placed in safe con-
dition. At the foot of Palafox street.
one approach to the wharf contains
warning to the public to keep off
Approach by alto may be made on
the west side, and a good auto road
past the fish Mouse and almost to the
end of the wharf, is available. The
south end of the wharf, however, has
never been entirely re-floored, al
though gangs of men are now work
ing there, making it as safe as con-
venient. A portion of this part of the
wharf, however, is closed to the
public.
Mayor Hinrichs is trying to figure
out how a dock for the naval vessels
may be arranged for. The city owns
the wharf Immediately south of the
Gulf Machine Company's shops, but
that company, which has held long
time lease on the place, has held up
making repairs pending the agree
ment of the city commissioners to
! enter into long time lease for said
property. The present lease, it is said,
expires early in June and the lessee
now wants the city to enter into a
10-year lease, at rental of about $50
per year. This the commissioners
have thus far persistently refused to
grant and in consequence thereof this
dock has remained in the dangerous
condition left by the last years
| storms.
While there is no disposition on the
part of the naval officers to knock
the city and its facilities, it is impos-
sible to make a favorable report on
the city's docking facilities. Were
such available, it is said, there would
probably be much more communica-
ton with ships and shore. There
would also probably be more liberty
parties in the city, and, although it is
not stated with authority, it is be-
lieved more time would be spent by
the larger naval vessels in anchorages
off the city instead of the vessels re-
naming off the naval station.
