. Last June the handwriting on the
wall was plainly visible when young
old son of Albert r. Mackenzie of
Columbia, carried his dad 19 holes
before the senior member of the
family with the grand Scottish name
won. And last fall young Karl Kel-
lerman, the same age as Roland, gave
hills at Bannockburn in the final of
that clubs fall tournament.
Lads Are Winning Now.
Now, 10 and behold, these young
BterS are winning tournaments.
Where last year Roland lost to his
father. this year he upset the elder
Mackenzie, and that in no uncertain
fashion. Another milestone on the
upward path of progress for the kids
was witnessed in the recent Wash
ington Golf and Country Club
tourney, where young James c.
Davis, jr., son of the director gen
eral of railroads, whipped Chris J.
night, but when he plays golf he
plays 1t with a vim. When he did
lose, the next day, it was to his
young pal, Roland Mackenzie.
Charlie Mackall son of that vet
eran golfer, DR.. Mackall of George
town, hasn't been seen so much this
spring-Charlie is away at school
but the rest of the lads know the
game he can play, as he showed them
in winning the junior title at Column
bia last fall.
That familiar wheeze, TT won't be
long now" is significant when one
watches the older generation plug
, ging along against the screaming
tee shots and general all-around fine
game of these coming youths,
Roland Mackenzie, Mackall and
Davis have arrived. The others are
on the way. They haven't far to go.
A little more polish, a bit of finish
and care added by tournament ex
perience and just bit more steadi-
ness, and there they are. "It can't be
long now"
Roland Displays Finish.
Local golfers would go far to
watch a more finished round than
that shown by young Mackenzie
against Miller B. Stevinson at Indian
Spring last week. Stevinson played
fine golf, but the youngster outhit
him from the tee and put the game
up to STEVENSON all the time. Had the
latter not been putting exceptionally
well he would not have carried the
match to the final hole, notwithstand
ing his fine game.

I stood with about 60 points to his | credit. provided one gives him almost

 Take Judge filling and the said 1 state machine. He is closely associated,
 every day. with Judge klett, the local l representative of the machine. The
 machine influence is with him all the time. Granting--und few will deubt 1 it--that the machine wants Judge Alling, as its representative here.
 Judge kiett wants him, it is fair to
 assume. so the people feel, that his
 machine burden will reduce availabili-

 twice the go points taken from. Mr.
 Holmes for the same reason. In other words Judge filings association with the representative of the machine here will make up for the burden Mr.
 Holmes would have had to bear be- cause of his private position, leaving Judge Alling. before the people, in their estimation, with so points to his credit. A few points may be added be- cause, as previously stated. he is more familiarly known than Mr. Holmes less cold in his human associations.
 Mayer Paonessa stands exactly as he stood in the statements previously made in these columns. The obious- ness of comparisons inspires one to re- frain from making them when they are not necessary. Suffice it is to say that he has no handicap like those at tributed to MT. Holmes and that at tributed 10 Judge filling. He is popu- lar with the people; he has given an efficient. economical administration and the voters at large feel that the citys interests are his first interests. | His chances against Judge Alling therefore, appear to be almost as good | as his chances would be against F.

Practically the only handicap l under which Judge filling will labor | will be his practical connection with the machine. through Judge K1ett, and | his social connections with the inter- ests" which, the people feel, are not always considerate of 'the people"
