By FRANK H. YOUNG.

For the past two or three years.
The Herald has been dwelling on
the fact that Washington. although
one of the busiest golf communities
of the East. has never been given
any recognition by the United States
Golf Association when II was hand
ing out its tournament assignments,
Philadelphia being the nearest to
Washington the national champion
ship has ever come.
The fact that neither of its two
big courses-Chevy Chase and CO.
lumbia-quite came up to champion
ship specifications has no doubt
been the main reason why its claims
have been overlooked.
But things are different now. or
soon will be. as the Columbia
country Club has thrown its hat
in the ring" and is out after next
years titular event. and with this

Baltimore, May 10.-Jack Britton,
worlds welter-weight champion
who clashes with Johnny Tillman,
of Minneapolis. Monday night at the
Lyric Theater before the Eureka
Athletic Club. arrived yesterday and
looks to be in great shape. Britton
has ducked more Knockout wallops
than any ten boxers. Sixteen years
as ringsman and the holder OF the
worlds laurels at 32 years of age
are truly remarkable record.
Against the youthful Tillman the
title holder must step along at a
pace throughout the dozen sessions
to keep his precious jaw out of dan
ger. Tillman can deliver a crush
ing wallop with either mitt. is fairly
scientific and can take an unlimited
amount of punishment without
showing any outward i'll effects
therefrom. Inspired by the thought
that a properly placed clout will
bring him into possession of gold
galore and great renown, the fighter
from the Middle West is certain TO
tear after the champion ali Ne way.

Black Golf Balls A
South Sea Wrinkle

HONOLULU, May 22-(By Mail)-
(By Associated Press)-Golfers in the
United States are familiar with the
white golf ball of everyday play and
many are familiar with the red vari-
ETY. used when the links are snow
covered but in the South Sea regions
the black golf ball predominates.
The crew of a British auxiliary
schooner back from a cruise among
the South Sea islands, reports that
the old days of isolation and hard
ships in the southern ocean are no
more. The little islands which dot
the South Sea now have all the COM
forts of civilization-pianos, phono-
graphs and even golf courses.
On Midway, the employees of the
American cable station have a golf
course laid out on the dazzling white
sand and they have found it necessary
to paint their golf balls black to avoid
losing sight of them.
