though another European war would

Railroad securities, however, must
be bought with great discrimination.
The time Is past when all railroads
are good or bad. The next few years

pleasure automobiles, but they have

the New York Central. Baltimore and
Ohio and the Southern can survive
and perhaps profit under this compe-

Reading and the like, this is not true.
There roads are bound to suffer far
more from the truck than they now
think possible.
I'VE shall live to see great high
ways built by the state exclusively
for truck use. Railroads are destined
ultimately to lose all of their short
haul business. and hence the roads
which are in comparatively small and
compact territories are sure to suffer.
The only hope for some roads. such as
the Boston and Maine and New Haven,
is to sell certain of their rights of
way to the state in order that the
tracks may be removed and concrete
highways laid in their place. Many
roads have parallel lines today under
their control. The wise railroad COM
pany will develop one of these for it
self and will sell the other at a good
price to the state for concrete truck
highway. Frankly. 1 would rather
take my chances with concrete secu-
rites than with railroad securities
bought in9iscriminately. Therefore.

There are, real estate men admit, a

The demand for apartments is hav-

Rather than pay heavy rentals fami-

Harry X. Boss, president OF the
Washington Real Estate Board, for.
mally will open the real estate course

his subject IAN Analysis of the Real
Estate Business" This lecture will
also include a descriptive outline OF
the entire course and an explanation
Of the practical methods that will be
applied in the class.
To Elevate Standards. =.
Realizing that educational work is
movement to elevate the standards of
real estate practices, the local real
estate board created an educational
, committee to develop activities OF
this character. This committee, con-
sisting of Morton J. Luchs. Lee D.
Latimer and Charles S. Shreve, cO-
operated with the educational ofii-
GERS of the Y. NJ. c. A. in preparing
the outline of lectures to be delivered
! during the coming season. These lec-
lures in every instance will be han-
died by local realtors and other pros
fessional men who are recognized as
expert in the particular subject as
signed them.
The course, which is open to both
men and women and which covers a
period of four months. is arranged to
embrace the fundamental principles

discussion of other subjects closely
allied with real estate.

In addition to lectures there will be
regular open discussions and quiZZeS
as well as demonstratire practice in
the preparation of real estate forms,
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Petty
who will conduct the course for the
Y. NJ. c. A, that the increase in de-
mand in recent years for some con.
structive educational work in real
estate subjects HAS resulted in the
establishment of lecture and exten.
sion courses in colleges and UNIVERSE
ties in various parts of the country.
1t is predicted that this movement
viii gradually evolve standardized
tests and be included in the curricu-
lum of not only the business colleges,
but also the high schools.
All such courses are being supports
ed by the National Association OF Real
Estate Boards through its local board
membership, and a special COMMITTEES
of the national association is giving
serious thought and study to the del
yelopment of some definite plan OF
education that will be adaptable to all
communities. :
Through the activities of the Ma
tional Association Of Real Estate
Boards a model license law has been
adopted in fifteen states. In each ins
stance an Improvement is noted In
the character of restrictions that ar6
placed upon the practice of real estate.
Licenses for Realtors.
These states require that a license
be obtained before one can engage In
real estate work, and the new license
laws further require that the applit
can't file a certificate as to his chars

most cases has to be signed by three

twenty-two, who won the amateur title at Brookline, and Miss Glenna women's national championship at White Sulphur Springs, Va Skokie a F1uke?
 For some occult reason Sarazen's Skko1e performance was deemed a fiuke. so it devolved upon him to fin ish first in the Professional Golfers Association event at Pittsburgh and then turn around and defeat Walter Hagen British open champion, in a. special two-day match, up and 2 to plaq.
 This victory established Sarazen, a mere caddie five years previously, as one Of the truly elect. Not only did he overcome a three-hole lead that but it was less than twenty-four hours after he holed his winning putt that Sarazen was hurried to a nearby hos pital. a victim of appendicitis.
 Only Super-champion could have been capable of such Spartan cour- age and rare consistency under the lash of competition, and per see, Sara zen's performances take precedence over hasens winning of the British open title at Sandwich, repeating Jock Hutchison's victory of the year pre- vious.
 Question Sweetser.
 Sweetser's right to pre-eminence among the amateurs is also unques- t1oned. Early in the season he won the Metropolitan amateur champion ship from a good field, and his path through the Brookline event was strewn with the figurative dead bod ies of no less than Willie Hunter, for mer British champion; Bobby Jones' equally great at either match or med al play, and Chick" Evans, several times amateur champion and once open champion in other and better years.
 Glenna Co1lett likewise led her di- minor titles, in addition to the medal and championship at White Sulphur Springs, disposing of Mrs. w. A. Cav in, of England. in the final round, up and i to play.

LUCKY HOUR BEST
 THREE-YR. OLD OF MEDIOCRE SEASON

The season of thoroughbred racing, just concluded. produced no domtna- ting figure such as Man O War or Norwich. In fact, the popular three year-o1d division had no real cham pion for the first time in many sea- sons, although a, dozen or more horses bobbed up from time to time as pos sible candidates. Out of an uncor1- mon1y inconsistent lot. Lucky Hour was possibly the best.
 Other leading three-year-o1ds were Kai-Sang, Q staunch contender against Lucky Hour for whatever honors there were; Whiskaway, Pil1ory, Hea, Snob End, Bunting, Rockminster and Oceanic.
 Of the two-year-oIds Willis Sharpe Ki1mers Sally's Alley earned the title of champion, particularly by his splen- did racing during the late stages of the campaign.
 Norwich. unbeaten two-year- of the 1921 season, began by winning the famous Kentucky Derby of Q mile and a quarter at Churchill Downs but suffered a startling form of reversal thereafter and never won another race He is now retired, after losing to Whiskaway at Aqueduct and upon all subsequent starts.
 Pillory won the PreaknesS by a head from Hea, but neither ran well thereafter. Snob End was a great sprinter for a brief interval but flop ped badly later.

NO OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL ELEVEN
 DURING THE YEAR

With the usual lack of clarity,
 the football season ended with no
 definite leader having established
 its claim to the national title. In
 some cases even sectional leader
 ship was in dispute.
 In the Eastz for example;
 West Virginia completed un-
 that it has a valid claim to the
 championship. Princeton is
 recognized in some quarters as
 the leading eleven of the section,
 but Cornell and Army advocates
 are many and argumentAtive.
 Sectional Friction
 Something of the same condition exists in the Middle West. Michigan and Iowa won all of their Conference games, and, in addition, the Hawk eyes came East and disposed of Yale A comparison of Big Ten scores fav- ors Michigan somewhat, but this fact is counter-balanced by the Conference standing, which shows Iowa the win ner of five games to Michigan's four
 The University of California, how ever, established a clear leadership in the Pacific Coast Conference and, in fact, through the entire Rocky Noun tain district, and Vanderbilt most certainly was far and away the best of the Southern e1evens.
 In the Intersectional meetings o1 importance the East might be given the edge because of the victories ot Princeton over Chicago, Harvard over Centre College and Syracuse over Nebraska. However, the West can point to the fact that Iowa scored over Yale; and Notre Dame after playing a scoreless tie with the Army, won easily from Carnegie Tech. The Hoosiers also disposed of Georgia Tech by way of contributing to theil sustained success in interseotiona' competition. The Detroit-W Washington and Jefferson meeting resulted in a Western victory worthy of mention.
 Dope Was Wrong.
 The 1922 season was noteworthy fol it's upset and the further fact that ii developed few individual stars of last. ing fame. Perhaps the best were Muller and Morrison of California Bomar of Vanderbilt; Gu1ian, o1 Brown; Kipke and Kirk, of Michigan Kaw, of Cornell; Roberts. of Centre College, and Breidster of the Army.

all the way after the second round and scored a clean knockout in the sixth.
 Charges and counter-charges were aired after the fight, each accusing the other of foul tactics. Only a short time ago the Senegalese, sus- pended and deprived of his title by the French authorities for unbecom- ing conduct, gave out a statement to the effect that the bout was framed The question of a return fight is be- ing considered.
 This was only one of many bouts in which form turned handsprfngs. A case in point was the Mickey Walk er-Jack Britton fight. in which the welterweight title changed hands. Brttton was an oddS-on favorite until a short time before the men entered the ring, when the betting shifted suddenly to Walker.
 Walker Wins Easily.
 Because of this the New York State Athletic Commission called off all bets, an unprecedented action so far as the modern pugilism is concerned. Walk CT easily earned the decision buffet ing Britton all over the ring during the last nine rounds.
 At the start of the year Buff was the proud owner of the worlds ban tamweight and the American fly weight titles, and at the end he owns neither. Joe Lynch deprived him of the bantamweight belt by scoring a RnOCkOuL III the Iou1u1 AHo a little brown man from the rice pad dies of the Philippines subsequently came along to flatten Buff for the long count in the tenth round, thus acquiring the flyweight title. The little brown man was Pancho Villa, unknown and unsung twelve months before.
 Tunney Succumbs.
 Another dethroned champion was Gene Tunney. In an unguarded mo- al nSa1f ha in veigled into a match with Harry Greb, with the American light heavyweight title at stake, and Greb Hailed his way to an easy victory at the end Of fifteen rounds. At the end Tunney's face had been reduced to human ham burger.
 Jack Dempsey signed an agreement to meet Harry Wills for the heavy weight title, at the insistence of the New York State Athletic Commission, but nothing has come of it. The com mission had set precedent in this respect by suspending Johnny Kill bane and Johnny Wilson for failure to accept challenges for their respec- tive featherweight and mldole"elgnt titles. Both championships were de clared vacated. but this decision was not accepted in other states
 Leonard Active.
 Benny Leonard had his most ac- tive year since falling heir to the lightweight crown. This he defend ed successfully against Rocky Kan sas, Ever Hammer and Lew Tender, the last named collaborating in the greatest lightweight attraction since Cans first met Nelson. At the end of twelve no-decision rounds Leonard was awarded the unofficial verdict by a great majority of the critics, al though Tender had the champion in distress in the eighth round. A crowd of nearly sO,O00 witnessed the bout, inc greatest turnout since the mem orable affair between Dempsey and Carpenter.

YANKEE COACHES
 ARE IN DEMAND

American Olympis team trainers and coaches are already in great de- mand among foreign nations, although the Paris International meet is still eighteen months away. Correspon- dence addressed to the amateur ath- letic union and the American Olympic association stress this demand and there are numerous inquiries regard ing suitable candidates from wid ely separated nations throughout Europe.
 Belgium is one of the latest coun- tries to ask the good offices of the A. A. U., in the matter of enga ging a coach and trainer for the Belgium Olympic team of 1924 Impressed by the development, condition and show ing of the United StatesA teams at Antwerp in 1920; the secretary of the Ligue Beige D'Athletisme, the track and field sport governing body of that country, has written to Secretary F. W. Rublen, of the A. A U., request ing a list of possible candidates for the position. The names of several well-eQuipped trainers will be for warded within the next few days.
 Other European nations which are considering the advisability of en- gazing an American athlete or train CT to coach their teams include Hol- land, Spain and Greece. Still others in more remote portions Of the globe also are interested. One or more South American countries may elect to engage an American coach and it Is understood that Egypt has already track star now living abroad

Lack of Lipt0n Cup
 Causes Interest in
 Yachting to Decline

In the absence of the perennial Lipton challenge for the America Cup the yacht racing campaign lacked some of the popular ap- peal of other years. However, a substitute programme of interna- tionaI racing was introduced in the competition between British and American six-metre yachts.
 Although scoring only two tn- dividuaI victories in the series of six races conducted the American boats were adjudged winners of the competition on the basis of point scored, Iii to 1O4.
 The annual fishermenS contest between the Biuenose, Canadian entry. and the Henry Ford, of America, resulted in a victory for the Bluenose after a series of races and arguments, each of which were equally warm

 The following is the third in ser- ies of articles by Miss Murief G. Wickenden, ,EngIand's Girl Golf Cham- pion, in which she sets forth her successful golfers. In the following article Miss Wickenden discusses "iron play"
 Turnbridge Wells, England, Dec. 27.-There is a certain amount of knack in the playing of an iron shot. A we1l-played stroke up to the pin is one of the prettiest shots to watch in golf. One should stand well over the ball and employ short. crisp swing, standing rather more in front of the ball than behind. The left arm should be kept as straight as possible going back, and at the top of the swing the hands should be Just about on a level with the shoulders The down swing and follow through must be played firmly whatever hap pens, and there should be a slight di- where the ball was lying. Personal ly, when I am off my game, have a horrible way of slack ening the pace of my club just before it comes into contact with the ball This is fatal, as all the power of the shot is lost and almost invariably I remove an enormous Atvot and the ball travels about half the distance it ought to. Another very useful iron shot is the push shot from a close lie or from the rough. For this shot one should stand well over and in front of the ball, hold the club a little shorter than usual and finish with the hands low. Played in this way the ball will fly very low. keep remarkably straight and run quite a long way. It is not an easy shot to play, as the timing is absolutely different from any other iron shot, but from a bad lie on a windy day it is a match win ming shot. Quite number of lady golfers are apt to under club them selves For instance, approaching a green a lady will probably try to play a full mashie instead of taking an easy light iron It is very dim- cult to resist the temptation of prob ably laying it stony with a mashie, Tut more often than not one is short and to me that is an unforgfvable sin. It is far better to be past the pin but on the green than short and not even on-
