RAISE S42,OOO
 IN THREE DAYS
 FOR ELkS HUME
More Than One-Fifth of De- sired $2O0,00O Is Secured
 in Subscriptions the First Half Week of Campaign

With only three days of the financial drive gone, the finance committee of the Phoenix lodge cf IIlIls, in charge of the campaign to secure subscriptions to the amount of S20o.0o0 with which to start construction work on the new Elks home. announces that more than one fifth Of the distance toward the goal has been covered.
 Reporting the result of their solici- tations yesterday, the ten teams con- cluded the efforts of Saturday with subscriptions that bring the total Of the three days to s42,000.
 Although this total is we'll on the way toward the allotted s2o0,00o, it was stated last night that the work done so far is classed merely as preliminary and that the real effort will begin Monday morning when the 10 teams, cheered by the results of the first three days and fortified with fresh data. start out to make brief work of the campaign.
 While the finance committee and the 10 teams in the field are securing the subscriptions for $200000, final prep arations are being made for the actual construction work on the new Elks home, to be erected at the southwest corner of Second avenue and Adams street. More refinements and more and better accommodations are being added to the preliminary plans daily and the conviction grows that the new Elks home is to be an edifice that will be a credit to the state.

New National Idea
Commentaries on the holding Of the
national championship over a course
like the Engineers, with the attendant
results, continue in unabated stream.
Many experts find no fault in the
course inasmuch as three of the best
amateurs in the country survived to the
semifnals. Bobby Jones, Chick Evans
and Francis 0uimet, fact which, in
our estimation, is partly, If not mostly,
due to the luck of the draw.
Walter Travis. the only American
who ever won the British championship,
has lot of interesting things to say.
when one finds small army OF
potential winners excluded" says
Travis, there is screw loose some
where. Most of it is traceable to the
flukiness, the trickiness, of several of
the holes of the Engineers course, no
tably the eighth. tenth and fourteenth
all single shooters.
'The margin for error on these is
altogether too narrow. Golf, after all,
is recreation, a fundamental fact
which should not be lost sight Of.
Travis says he saw a good deal Of the
play last year for the professional
championship. and Of fourteen pros he
watched play the fourteenth only two
found the green. though virtually every
shot was flawless.
Two Seasons Ahead
Travis has several suggestions to
make. The first is that, granting the
desirability of playing the qualifying
round on two neighboring courses. these
courses should be selected at least two
seasons ahead. so as to admit of their
being in prime shape in every respect.
Second, that the number of Qualifiers
should be increased from thirty two to
sixty four, and playing the first two
rounds Of match play, at eighteen holes,
over the two courses. and thereafter at
thirty six holes over the championship
course.
