NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS.

Beginning some time in May the Co
lumbia Country Club will inaugurate q
radical departure from the usual method
Of starting players on busy days, such as
Saturdays and Sundays. On account Of
the already overcrowded condition Of the
course and with approximately one hun
dred new names Of golfers posted for
membership. golfers will be allowed to
play only ono round on Saturdays and
Sundays. Four bail matches only viii be
allowed and the members will be given a
starting time, to which they must adhere
or their names will be dropped to the bot
tom Of the starting List. So great is the
number Of golfers expected to use the
course on Saturdays and Sundays this
year that this action or some similar ac-
ton Is necessary, according to q member
Of the greens committee. Although taken
with regret, because it will work a hard
ship on those older members Of the club
who have been in the habit OF playing two
rounds on Sunday, 1t is felt that no other
way to insure playing Of every one who
wishes to play can be arranged.
Members who wish to play on these
days must arrange, either by telephon-
ing or by leaving their names with the
IOT InclT Time. NO IWO
or three ball matches will Be permitted
on the course. So far as is known. this
action of the Columbia Country Club
is an innovation in golf on private
courses on other than tournament days
in this country. OF the thousands of
persons who have come to Washington
in the last eight months, hundreds are
golfers. and all the local clubs have re-
ported greatly augmented applications
for memberships. None has been SO
crowded as the Columbia Country Club,
however. Probably as many members
in proportion have Joined the other
members is smaller.
Another famous golfer has Joined
the ranks OF players here on war work
in the person Of Mrs Quentin Feitner.
nee Lillian B. Hyde, i've times holder
Of the metropolitan wumen's champion
ship. It is probably that Mr.. Feitner,
who is an off1cer in the United States
Army, will Join the Chevy Chase Club.
Jack Burgess. the Chevy Chase profess
sional and. although she did not play
well, having had no golf for almost a
year. she showed evidences Of her true
game. At the sixteenth hole her tee
shot carried the tree on the tee side
Of the ditch. Burgess declares it was

woman. Burgess was around in IS.

endorsement of "a man who has done
much for Beltrami county farmers
and farmers of the entire state OF
Minnesota, as we'll as the schools of
the state, townships, villages and ag-
riculture throughout the northwest.
Mr.. Stephens was at one time a
state senator from Polk county. 1t
was he who fathered the bill that
went through for the reduction of
The rate Of interest from four per cent
to three per, cent ON all state. loans,
which included schools, school dist
sricts, townships and villages and also
ditch loans.
He was also the man whose efforts
resulted in establishing the agricul-
tural college at Crookston, which has
been of untold benefit to agricultural
interests of this part Of the state and
the northwest. When efforts were
being made to secure the Bemldj1
Normal school and appropriation for
its erection, Mr.. Stephens made a
special trip to st. Paul to urge his
friends in the legislature to support
the project for Bemidji and his work
and influence were fruitful.

FRESH YOUTH FINED FOR
ANNOYING BATHERS AT
DIAMOND POINT PARK

For some unknown reason there
seems to be new practice in vogue
on the part Of hair Drained individ-
uals, that of annoying or outright
insulting women who may have a
desire to visit the lake shore or go
in bathing at the city park at Dia-
mond Point, which is provided for
recreation purposes, and there's go
ing to be an end to this right off the
reel.
The first arrest for being a gem
eral nuisance and offensive along
these lines is that of Chester Nc
Griff, an 18-year-old jitney driver,
who got funny" yesterday at Dia-
mond Point and attempted to kiss
two girl bathers. He was promptly
arrested by G. l.. Arnold, park po-
liceman, and this morning fined IS
in municipal court upon a plea OF
guilty to disorderly conduct.
Park Officer Arnold says he will
arrest any one found to be annoying
others in like manner and in this
he will have the support Of the peo-
pie, and some Of those "wise birds"
will be lucky if they escape one of the
worst beatings they ever received
from the hands Of some member of
the male persuasion. Chief Ripple
also-says he will take hand in sup
pressing the practice and that he
will give offenders all there is COM
ing, to 'em.

BEMIDl ESCORTS LATE
LATE REPRESENTATIVE
FINAL RESTING PLACE

To the tolling Of the bell on the
city hall, the body Of the late Repre-
sentative Lloyd G.. Pendergast, who
died in the west soon after the close
of the last session of the state legis-
lature, was borne to Greenwood this
afternoon and inferred in its final
resting place.
Heading the cortege was the Four
teenth battalion band and the Home
Guards without arms, detachment
forming the firing squad for the hon
ored Civil war veteran. In line were
the members of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, while the G.. A. R. drum
corps sounded the cadence for their
comrade who had answered "taps."
City officials and prominent citi-
zens were largely represented and the
services at the cemetery were simple,
the feature being the eulogy to the
dead legislator by Attorney P. J.
Russell, for years a close friend Of
Mr.. Pendergast.
And it was a sad commentary that
as the cortege passed to the ceme-
terry, work on the Normal sch oil, the
monument to Mr.. Pendergast which
he had never seen, was progressing.
