The second annual District of Col
umbia municipal golf championship
will be held over the East Potomac
Park course. We make that state
ment without reservation after read
ing a communication from Secretary
James D. Preston, of the Rock
Creek Park Club. -,
President John L. Eldridge, OF the
District Municipal Golf Association,
has called a meeting of the asso-
citation to be held in the Argonne
apartments, 1929 Columbia road, at
8 o'clock. next Thursday evening.
Preston states that the object Of
the meeting will be to discuss plans
for the holding of the second an.
nual tournament, and then adds:
II am afraid It is going to be a
hard task to put on tournament
on the nine hole course at Rock
Creek, especially as 1t will be neces,
sary for every one to play winter
rules"
After perusing Preston's com.
munication we then called up Man.
ager Harold Miller Of the RoclS
Creek Park course. Miller gave 1t
as his opinion that IL the tourna-
Tnent. was held over the Rock Creek
Park lines 1t would necessitate it
being closed to the general public.
After reading Preston's statement
and hearing Miller's side of the.
argunent-lf argument it can Il,
called---we will leave II to the
reader to make his own deductions.

before leaving here armed himself
with proper credentials from some
Spanish diplomats. He saw Balsa
box in Havana and Immediately
signed him for an American ap-
pearance.
Balsa did not box yesterday. He
proved to be a nimble rope skipper
and shadow boxer, however, and he
is speedy for a big fellow. Law
renee wants to get him started and
offers to match him with any of
the big fellows. A
While Balsa was being photo
graphed in one corner of the big
gymnasium, Senior Quintin Romero
popped in and started to work on
the floor not fifteen feet from.
Andre. They had never met and
were not introduced yesterday. 4 1t
seems that Romero and his man
ager heard about Lawrence's threat
to have Balsa knock off Romero in
the gymnasium to gain the fiBtic
affections of Tex Richard.
Senior MacLevy turned COM
pletely Spanish himself after listen,
ing to the chatter. He had his van
nouncer put on an exhibition bout
between Luis Vincentini, light
weight champion of Chill, and Man
uel Lima, featherweight champion of
Uruguay. iE
When Luis Firpo gets here-as
he eventually will--the Argentines
will be represented. MacLevy has
agents headed toward South Amer
lea to dig up the championS of
Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil.
1t seems a shame that no Brazilian
nut has turned fighter. because that
is the biggest country in South
America.

In addition to those who have

in the spring workouts. Only basic
work in football is being done, such
as tackling, blocking, passing and

Golf Has Not Drawn
Attention From :
Other Sports

The notion that golf has be-
come so popular that it has az
fected she interest in profes-
siona1 sport is hardly shown by
the facts. Just because a man
plays golf, that does not neces-
sarily mean that he loses IN
terest in. baseball and boxing.
The attendance figures of base
ball and boxing for the past
two seasons has been greater
than ever before, and yet golf
has attracted recruits by the
thousand. h
Professional sport in the
larger centers of population
have not been touched by the
golf epidemic. Weekend pa
tronage in New York, Chicago
and other big baseball cities has
not been affected by other
games, but minor league base
ball suffered badly. Many of
the minor league club owners
last year were alarmed because
even the holders of compii-
mentary passes failed to attend
the weekend games because
they were busy playing goh.

Denuued OF all superfluitieS, the
committees statement of the case
follows:
THE second payment of $40 900
on the charter of the steamship
America for the American Olympic
team was made on Tuesday April
ID. Extreme difficulty was encoun.
tered in raising the funds to meet
this payment, and the payment
leaves the American Olympic com
mittee without funds for it's cur
rent work of preparation for the
games"
The suggestion that julius H.
barnes, treasurer of the committee,
would not feel affronted by the re-
ceipt of contributions was issued
with the statement, gratis.
The fact of the matter is the
COMMITTEES could not paint the pic
ture any blacker than it is with
an application Of tar. Unless the
sum of $15O,OOO is on hand by
June 1, the Olympic invasion will
provo q failure before it begins,
since present plans for the trans
pOrtatiOn of the team would have
been abandoned forthwith and
makeshift arrangements substi-
tuted.
Makeshift arrangements cannot
hope to beat Finland and the rest
of the field at Paris. 1t is admitted
by athletic experts that only 100
per cent in transportation and main
tenance of American athletes will
be acceptable.
On the date mentioned the final
payment on the ship will be due
and failure to meet it will mean
not only the loss of the charter but
all money previously paid on it.
Not less than $4,000 additional
will be needed at that time for the
expense of construction and housing
of the athletes on the other side.
Meantime the expense of sending
soccer, riding, revolver, polo, rifle,
marathon and trap shooting teams
abroad in advance of the main de.
tachment must be met.
This cannot be done with daily
subscriptions, averaging less than
$1,000, coming in from the entire
country.

Miller has made a number Of
changes and. Is still undecided as
to his stroke. Dixon Griswold had
been setting the pace for the Co
lumbia varsity boat. but failed to
come up to expectations and has
been succeeded by George Waschek.
The latter pulled No. oar in the
junior varsity boat last year.
The Junior eight and freshman
boat have made fine progress and
will soon be ripe for competition.
Milton Hamon is stroking the ju.
nior combination. He set the pace
last year in the yearling boat.
Harvard's squad Of Oarsmen has
already been installed on the
banks Of the SchuyllEiII river in
Philadelphia, where they hope to
get in some good training ticks
this week. The Charles river Is
still chOppy at this time Of the
year, so the, Crimson bOatmen
will spend q strenuous Easter
vacation pulling on their oars
down i'm Philadelphia.
The Crimsons reached Philadel.
phia yesterday and were able. to get
out on the river twice. Their pro-
gram will include two workouts
each day while in the Quaker City.
Philadelphia is probably the rowing
center of the country, so the Cam.
bridge lads will have plenty Of com.
pany each day on the Schuylkili.
Coaches Joe Wright and Jim Rice
appear to be satisfied with the
work they have accomplished with
the Pennsylvania crew. They have
had the advantage of some fine
weather down in Philly and the two
veterans have their charges further
advanced than their less fortunate
rival mentors,
The makeup of Princeton's var
sity eight is still doubtful. The
freshman boat has beaten the var.
sity a number of times during the
past week, and yesterday Coach
Duncan Spaeth made some whole
sale changes, which involved all but
three of his varsity. He intends
to make several more shifts befo: G
the week is out and will keep
switching his squad until he strikes
what he considers the proper com
I'bination.
