List For Metropolitan Championship, While Not Big, Is Representative One-Golf News.

Even though the names of quite a few of the leaders in this district are missing. the entry list for the cham pionship tournament of the Metro politan Golf Association next week at Brooklawn. is not lacking in quality Thus far only, forty-four names have been given oS. but it is expected that at least dozen more will be added Those who have sent in their names Include Oswald Kirkby, Englewood, present titleholder; D. F. Sawyer, former Western champion, Gardiner w. White. John c. Anderson, Hamil- ton K. Kerr. A. l.. Walker, Jr., and Samuel J. Graham.
 Those yet to be heard from include Max Marston. the Baltusrol golfer. who has done so well this season in tournament play; A. r. Hammer, for mer Staten Island champion; F. Nor timer Barnes of Englewood; T. V. Bermingham, WySagyl; Findlay Douglas. twice winner of the me tropolitan title; Reginald Lewis. win ner of both the Connecticut and westchester titles a few years ago. Tenry J. Topping of Greenwich and L. M. Wild of Baltusrol.
 M will be interesting to golfers to know that Bob Jolly, who is consider ed one of the best in the country in this line and who has something of international fame. will be the gols instructor at Deer Park Hotel, Mary land, during the coming season.
 Jolly. who claims his residence in Chicago, was one time professional champ pion of Ireland and enlisted with the Canadian forces in 1915, -f.,-- Lvf J.,Y -r., a Toronto hospital last week. He was wounded four times during his long service. tbree wounds being from shrapnel and the other from ma chine gun. He enlisted in the Twenty eighth Canadian Battalion, a winni- pes infantry outfit, and arrived over seas in November, 1915.
 He was in the Mons. Paschaendale, Ypres. Albert and Vimy Ridge battles and was wounded when near Nancy, and was in eight different hospitals before his discharge.
 The famous golfer walks with a slight limp, but says his arms are all right and his sense of direction much improved. Sandpits will have no ter TOTS for him from now on, whereas for putting. he says, the toughest of greens will look like a billiard table to him now, after his experience with the shell pitted fields of France.

CIRCUS DAY PAST
 IN HUN CITIES

An unusual phase of the food snor- tage situation in Germany which has just come to light is the fact that German children will look in vain for the circus of pre-war splendor dur Ing some time to come. Tho jungle beasts, which once so delighted them. were sacrificed for food during tho hungry days their country suffered before the signing of the Armistice.
 This information is contained fin a late report issued by the American Relief Administration. Francois dc Tcssan in an interview with Wilhelm Hagenback. Is quoted as saying that 7Iagenback's collection shrank from 300 to 60 animals during the four years of the war.
 The only foundation for the re- port that the Germans used his col lection for food. Mir. Hagenback is reported to have said, was that dur ing the war ten of the elephants were killed at Chemnitz. and the choice bits of the carcasses were sold to the local butchers. Many persons have a taste' for this kind of meat, Mir. Hagenback added.

guns, and landed in an open field near a small town.
 No troops were in the vicinity, ana the commander, telling his crew that the steering gear was broken, nd- vised them to surrender. They agreed and q problem presented by the ab- sence of British troops was solved.
 He marched them in military for nation along a road that he knew led to the village. On the way an aged constable was encountered. He received the surrender of the men and the pseudo German captain.
 Once in the village the constable led his captives proudly to the post office. To the woman postmaster, he announced his capture of a German expeditionary force.
 Here he was interrupted by the commander of the "Zep.'' ''Td like to telephone to my wife, said the lat ter.
 The commander was refused the request, but after deliberation the constable agreed to permit him to send a telegram. While the telegram was being written the constable made a gfeat ceremony by disarming the prisoners. The Army post near by was notified of the landing of the great airship.
 was completed the "Zep" commander and his men were locked up. But the telegram to the commanders wife sent her hurrylng to the telephone. She notified the commanding officer of the troops in Essex of the Zeppelin commanders identity.
 When a thorough Identification had been made the officer was hur- ried to London in a motor-car. At the War Office he made his report. Congratulations were showered upon him by some of the highest officers in the British army.
 German Secrets of Great Value. Meanwhile the Zeppelin was being cared for. It was dismantled and taken to the British Arny's aircraft museum. where men of the flying service made examinations of ifs parts. Its engines were taken down and inspected for new devices. It Is sufficient to say that from that Zep- pelin the British flying men thus learned more than they ever knew before of German aircraft develop ment.
 It was the British intelligence of ficer's report to his discoveries in 1eIlHdHy tDdL InG ar defence work in England. Hitherto the military authorities had depended solely upon listening posts and air planes for driving off raiding Zep- pelins. With the data now before them the British were able to devise new methods of coping with the menace.
 The intelligence officer related the great feaS of German Zeppelin com manders that some thoughtful Briton would realize that the British air planes could not climb quickly enough and that fast climbing airplanes and an inflammabie bullet were needed. Both the fast-c1imbing airplanes and the inflammable bullet were per- fected. The next Zeppelin that tried to bomb England was brought down in flames.
 The Germans next tried the "silenk engine" which was nothing more or less than drifting over England with the engines silenced. That proved un- unsuccessful on the first attempt. The Zeppelins, five in number, drifted over England at night and were still! there the next day because the en- zines had frozen" and the crews were unable to start them. The five continued drifting. Over France they went to be attacked by French and British airmen and brought down in damea.

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first definite knowledge of the character and extent of the Great Salt Lake, fin Utah, was derived from the explorations of Col. John c. Ere mont, who left Missouri for an over land trip to California and Oregon seventy-six years ago today. The party, composed of Col. Fremont, Kit Carson, the famous scout and Indian fighter, and three others. crossed the Rock Mountains in August and early in September reached the shores of the inland sea. They had provided themselves with a rubber boat and as a result of their thorough inves- tigations the geosraphers were able to place Salt Lake definitely on the map. The lake had been discovered eighteen years before by James Brid- ger, but 1t remained for Fremont to give the first authoritative account of the big inland salt sea.
