BANKERS OPPOSE
GUARANTEEING OF
SMALL DEPOSITS

Opposition is developing today
among the bankers OF the District TO
the bill now pending in the Senate
which provides for Federal guarantee
OF deposits in national banks up TO
$4,000. They think that such a law
would penalize those banks which
are conducted on a safe and conser-
vative basis and would intend to en-
courage so-called wild cat" banking
methods.
Local opposition to the bill IS said
to have the support OF the American
Bankers Association, which IL max

GOLF CHAMPIONS
WILL PLAY GAME
FOR RED CROSS

Fred Mcleod. Columbia Country
! Club professional golfer, who takes
part with Charles Evans, Jim Barnes
ard Walter Hagen in the big exhibi.
ton golf match for the benefit OF
the Red Cross at Columbia Country
Club Saturday, is the smallest and
smoothest professional OF prominence
iE the golf world.
Mcleod stands about . feet 4 inches
He weighs less than 100 pounds
For ten years he has been at the top
of his profession and wherever golf
is played McLeod's name is well
known. Champion in 1905 after the
most valiant uphill fight ever seen
on a golf course, Mcleod has more
than held his own in the Golhng
world.
Little Freddy" is the highest type
Of professional golfer produced. He
has been in the game for fifteen
years, receiving his FIRST instruction
after his caddy days at North Ber-
wick, Scotland, twenty miles from the
famous st. Andrews course.
It was in zoos at Myopia, near Bos-
ton, that Mcleod wrested the open
title from Willie Smith. Mcleod was
Eve down. and came from behind for
a win from Smith in a driving gale,
which seemed, at times, to blow the
little Scot of the tee and course and
out Of competition.
Mcleod is a short driver. He is
deadly accurate, and it is said OF him
that no other professional in the
world plays a better iron shot Nc
Leod is content to let the sturdy ones
wallop at their hearts content. His
neat, crisp drives are rarely out OF
the fairway. His second shot with
an iron club Is low, with an under
spin which gets there, sticks, and
brings him even with the players who
boast terrific drives off the tee.
Saturday morning and afternoon
Mcleod will play with open and anna
teur champion Charles Evans against
Jim Barnes, OF Denver, and Walter
Hagen. OF Rochester, top notchers in
the golfing world.
Columbia Country Club has opened
"a dosr5 10 the public. \ real crowd
is wanted, and Columbia has extend
ed privileges TO those who have new
eP seen golf and to those who know
even a little about it.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the half holiday will be
taken care Of from downtown by spe-
ciaI cars. Extra trippers are as
sured for all those who wish to reach
the club out beyond the Chevy Chase
Circle.
Columbia will open its dining rooms
and serve a lunch on cash basis for
all those who care to come out from
town early. There will be no charge
for admission to the Red Cross exhi-
bition. Columbia wants all OF Wash
ington to be there to watch the four
greatest players in the game give
their exhibition.
