UNCLE SAM BACKING
 "POOR MANS LINK S"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-It will soon be possible to play golf in Wash ington without becoming member of one of the expensive country clubs. Uncle Sam is now busily engaged in building a nine-ho1e course. It is to be located in Potomac park, about 15 minutes from the business section of the capital. Players will be allowed to use the course for the nominal fee of 25 cents for each round.
 The ability to play golf in Washing ton for 25 cents per round will help to correct the impression that golf is a rich mans game. It is true that the dues of the average golf club are beyond the reach of the average purse. Especially is this true of the country clubs about Washington, where social distinction is usually prerequisite for admittance to membership. Whether Cox or Harding is elected, Washington is counting upon seeing president upon it's public golf links next sum- mer.

Considering the fact that weather conditions were bad enough on two days to cause de- lays of almost an hour, the attendance figures are all the more remarkable. On Saturday 36,0OO fans saw the Yan- kees defeat the White Sox, and on Sunday 33,OOO looked on while the New Workers repeated.
