SENDS HIS ITEMS
Interesting Little News Bits
From England

London. Oct. "a Rl-George Bcr-
nard Shaw, vegetarian, non-smo ker
and teetotaer, remarked with u
Chuckle when he was informed re-
Gently that he had been selected US
godfather for cigar that Ger
man firm has named after him,
"Wcll, didn't the herring make Bis
marck famous"
One Of the anti-Shaw newspapers
and tAcre are several in England
concludes that the cigar is intend
cd as a kind of monument TO G. b.
$. because the author absolved the
Germans of all guilt for starting the
World War long before they began
propaganda in their own behalf.
The Manchester Guardian says
| that this German tribute TO Shaw
does not suggest a passion for the
cigars. vegetarian products though
they be. And If the name did sug-
gest cigars" the Guardian continues,
ut wouldn't suggest good ones. for
the essence Of good cigar is TO be
bland and pcryasive, while the es-
scnce of our vastly distinguished
dramat;st is to be pungent and pene-
trating."
1t is recalled that the Earl Of
Sandwich in the 18th century, made
himself immortal by giving his name
TO the common sandwich. He was
such an inveterate gambler that he
would not rise from the gaming ia
BILE for his meals but had meat and
cheese brought to him between slices
Of bread. SO the name sandwich
for such a snack came into general
use. II is also recalled that the
peace melba. in which the name Of
the famous prima donna was used,
has also gained worldwide curren-
cy.
However. as far as the new mile
stone along the path Of glory reach
ed by Shaw is concerned, the Morn
ing Post says 1t does not believe
that the Shaw cigar ever will be
widely Tread" by more than hand
full of Germans who like something
strong with their book beer.

Germany today Is only one-third of
that Of prc-war days, according to
confidential report compiled by
one Of the leading distiIlcries. Dur
ing the last few years before the
World war the average annual con-
sumption Of cordials for each head
cf population was moro than three
quarts. 1t is now less than one
quart,
The principal reason for this de-
cline is economic, as the prices of
liqueurs arc now too high for per-
SONS of moderate means. This re-
progression in the consumption OF
heavy drinks is somewhat offset by
| the fact that light wines are being
consumed moro than before the war,
owing chiefly to the low prices of
wines imported from countries in
which tho currCnCios have deprc-
ciatcd. such as France.

Many Excuses

Tho hair-bobbers of Paris are pro-
life these days in the excuses they
offer for the use of women who want
10 pacify husbands who do not take
KINDLY to short hair. The latest
such excuse is the danger Of wear
ling combs and pins made Of inf1am
unable materials. This excuse is
fortified by the movement in Eng
land against the sale of all sorts of
toys and playthings for children
made of combnstible substances.
If the husbands persist that not
all combs and hairpins are Sc made
tine answer Is that metal Is too
heavy for such purposes and induces
headaches. and that tortoise-shell is
SO expensive that only rltlionaireA

But while the freshman mortality
in the recent scholastic grill affected
the first year crew, the varsity men
and subs came through with flying
colors while at the same time the
puckered surface of Lake Washing
ton fattened down and permitted the
oarsmen to propel their ships under
racing conditions.
Just now there is not bit of eveE$
confidence among the varsity men,
Coach Callow has seen to that, but
at the same time there is a very fpe
psychology in the boat, racing
spirit that means much when the
referees pistol cracks and the shells
are away.
Washington has the sanction of
success over California, having won
u out of / s regattas, and the writer
has word from experts in the North
west that despite Callow's cautious
demeanor the Blue and Gold VIII
have to beat a crew every bit as
formidable as the championship 1924
Washington crew.
The places of the few men missing
from the eight that rowed at Pough-
keepsie last year and earlier defeated
California have been Capably filled.
and the greatest loss seems 70 be III
the coxswain's seat through the
graduation of Don Grant, who cOxed
the crew for three years and is now
assisting Edward Leader at Yale.
One of the interesting phases OF
Saturdays regatta will lie in the fac
that for the first time a course on the
upper estuary at Oakland will be
used for the three-mile race. Just
what features recommended the
chance the writer knows not, but the
feeling is that it is better adapted in
every way for an intercollegiate re-
gatta.
Capt. Logg, former commander of
the University of Washington ship,
who is at Princeton coaching the
varsity men, has won the heart of DR..
Spaeth, director of rowing at Mas
sau. And the oarsmen are very en-
thusiastic about him. too The Tigers,
say those who have watched the men
in their early outdoor tests, are like
ly to develop into a formidable out
fit. What a day it will be for West
Coast men in the East when the skill!

MLE0D is PRAISED
FOR HIS GOLF PLAY
BY THE SPORTSMAN.

NEW YORK, April 9.-One of the
outstanding features of the Winter
golf season just concluded was the
play of that wee veteran, Freddie
Mcleod, popular professional of the
Columbia Country Club of Wash
ington.
The canny little Scot, who plays
this most battling of all games so
well, with his head as well as with
his hands and arms, has finished
right up with the leaders in all the
tournaments in which he has COM
peted this Winter When it is con-
sidered that Mcleod is the oldest
professional, in point of service, as
we'll as the oldest competitor, ex-
cepting Alex Smith, this is truly re-
markable.
Mcleod was a prominent figure in
golf more than a score of years ago
when Gene Sarazen, Jonny Farrell
AL Watrous, Leo Diegel and other
youngsters now occupying the lime
light were in swaddling clothes.
Wee Freddie won the national
championship in 1908. Since that
times he has won various other titles.
But the remark able part about his
career is that he is still a real COM
petitor in any tournament he enters.
despite the handicap of size as well
as of age. Because of his small
stature, Mcleod has difficulty getting
the distance from the tees that
Sarazen, Farrell and some of the
others get. Nevertheless, in some
manner, he manages to get to the
greens in the same number of shots
as the others, and then he has a
distinct advantage, for he is one of
the best putters in the game.
Last year he pursued Farrell hard
for honors in tha qualifying round
of the national championship at
Worcester. He likes this course and
plays it we'll Watch him in the
open on this lay about next June.
