 Golfers regard Old Elm with envy, for it has become associated in their minds with many peculiar excellen- ces. It is really an outgrowth of a desire on the part of some very busy men to find ore spot where there between the time of their arrival at the course and the moment at which their round of golf might begin.

 The club, which was founded April g. 1913. Is located about 400 yards west of the Fort Sheridan station of the Northwestern railroad. Tine Milwaukee Electric, line parallel ing the Northwestern, is also close to the club. The house. with It's re- markable effect of color and line. looking as though it had strayed out of some Spanish picture, staa,ls about 75 feet from the Green Bay road. It's brilliant color and it's lack of height first attract attention. The ctlcr seems to associate itsel1 with lands of dazzling sunshine.

Athletes Heart" A Stranger To Marathon Runners, Doctors Say

BOSTON April 25.-(By Associated Press. )--The athletes heart ad- mittedly a bugbear to the medical profession for many years, failed absolutely to put In an appearance among the contestants among the American marathon runners here last Thursday.
 Dr. s. A Levine of Boston. who with two other members of the staff of the Peter Bent Brigham hospital. Dr. Burgess Gordon. of Spokane. Wash. and Dr. Albert Wilmaers of Belgium, conducted a series of ex- periments on the long distance run ners taking part in the gruelling % mile test. said today that although it had not been scientifically proved success in long distance running was probably more a matter of legs than heart or wind power.
 The experiments conducted on the marathon runners were designed ac- cording to Dr. Levine who had charge of the research work, to controversy concerning athletes heart'-among other things to try to learn whether there really is such phenomen and whether it may be induced by over-exertion. The Amer ican marathon was chosen for the strenuous of all accredited athletic events.
 The condition of each athletes heart immediately after the race and at normal was determined by the taking of x-ray pictures of each runner Immediately after the finish and again later after the man had rested for several hours, the pie lures were then compared.
 The surprising thing in our re- suits was that the heart in no case became any larger as result of the race. but in a number of instsn- ces it became smaller" Dr. Levine said. This is diametrically op- posed to the old view that dilation of the heart is apt to follow over exertion."
 The runners also were examined as to their wind power. CT the vital capacity of the lungs" The phy- sicians concluded from comparisons of their tests before and after the race that in general the wind power of the runner was above normal, but that there were some who were slightly below normal The winner, Clarence De Mar. of Melrose. who registered his third success in the event, and is the record holder, had wind power of 20 per cent above normal. but two men who finished far down in the list had greater strength in that particular.

Although neither of the Giants two big money recruits played against his team in the four consecutive disasters. he said this free spending of money was making the weak clubs weaker and the big ones stronger.
 He wishes the other club owners would remedy the difficulty by ceas- ing to spend money. As an alter native, it was suggested that Ebbets could provide yhe remedy by spend- ing some himself.
 That closed the interview with Un- c,e Charlie.
