M'LEOD AND BARNES
WIN LEAGUE CLASH

TAMPA, Fla, January 26.-Jin
Barnes, national open champion in
1921, and Fred Mcleod, holder of the
same title in 1908, won their Florida
Winter Golf League match from
Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood or
the Temple Terrace links yesterday.
II was a 36-hole contest, and the
British open champion and his
partner bowed after a valiant strug-
gle, the score being 3 and 2.
Hagen, who is also the American
professional champion, played his
usual brilliant game, and his card
showed a pair of birdie 2s. He had
the best individual card, with rounds
of rs, 72-147. This fine effort, how
ever, was discounted by the incon-
sistent work of kirkwood, whose card
read so and rs, for a total of 1855.
Barnes displayed ragged form in
the morning round, finishing with a
10, but he came through with a fine
73 in the afternoon for total OF
1852, the same as McLeod's score
CLEANED on d II and a 10.
Halves at fifteenth and sixteenth
holes gave the Barnes Mcleod team
the victory. Hagen took the seven
teenth with his second birdie of the
day, while the last hole was halved
in 5s.
The two teams battled on even
terms until Barnes put his side in
the van with birdie at the fifth
hole. The next was halved, but Nc
Leod added to the advantage by
taking the seventh with a par 4
Barnes won the eleventh with Il par 4
Then came series of halved holes
until the fifteenth, where Hagen
scared TO the heights and produced
his first two-stroke hole on A beau
tiful chip shot from the bank. Kirk
wood took his first hole at the six
teenth, and the next two were halved
the home pros finishing the morning
round l up.
The first two holes in the afternoon
were split, and then Kirkwood came
along with the longest putt of the
day, sinking a 20-footer for birdie
3. Mcleod duplicated this shot on
the fourth, dropping a pretty putt
over a slight hill in the green for
a birdie 3. The rest were halved
until the ninth, when Mcleod got
another birdie 3.
Hagen captured the tenth with a
4, one under par, and they halved
until the fourteenth, which Barnes
took with birdie 3. This practically
settled the match.

This is evidently the first step to-
ward a sort of communism of the
trout streams that has been taken
in this country. The disappearance
OF many OF our fishing and hunting
places and the control of the remain
der by private clubs has brought
about serious condition all over
America, and one which must be
solved imm ediatcly.
The New York Times has declared
editorially for laws to prohibit the
use of the pump gun. The Times
makes one error. 1t speaks OF the
automatic" or pump gun and
throughout the editorial the auto
matte and pump guns are considered
the same weapon. Without wishing
TO criticize the stand taken by the
Times, / sometimes wonder if persons
whose acquaintance with firearms is
so vague as TO fail to dffferentiate
between the two kinds of guns have
much business trying to decide what
should be done about it.

There have been a few ball players
very few it is true, but still
enough to hurt-who have taken flip
pant attitudes toward the 1919 ex-
posure in the American League, say
ing: We'll, they got off, didn't they?"
1t might be a decided tonic to the
weak morals of these players if they
found out that game throwers and
other would-be cheats didn't always
get off"
Something OF this kind probably
was in the mind of the Fordham stu
dent when, browsing through his law
books, he came upon an apparently for
gotten statute bearing directly upon
bribe giving, bribe taking and all
other efforts that might make it pos
sible to throw a ball game, or to play
it In such a manner that its proper
outcome might be nullified.
The budding Blackstone communi-
Gated the result of his delving to &
source interested in the purity of
sport. This man Immediately com
municated with District Attorney
Banton's office, and the district at
torney announced his decision to act
In the O'Connell- -Dolan case. 1t will
be the first instance of legal action
against an alleged base ball crook.
A base ball punishment is not a le-
gal punishment. Years ago the Ma
tional League threw out four play
ers for crookedness. Their offense
was conspiring with the keepers Of
poolrooms TO throw games. In those
days base ball was all hedged about
by a gambling circle that the better
players and owners were trying to
overcome.
This attitude led to an effort al
retaliation by the gamblers, who set
out to accomplish the National
Leagues overthrow. For a year they
tried to work upon players to desert
and sent known crooks TO accost anC

We equal hShlifS rights.
The editorial says N part: 1T has
been urged by some that it is more
important to attempt to check the
use Of pump guns by popular senti-
ment than by legislation. Many per-
sons, they say, at present possess
these guns, and If prevented by law
from using them would have a just
cause for complaint. Such hunters,
therefore. should be taught that ii
is unsportsmanlike to use more than
two shells in these guns.
In theory this solution is excel
lent. But it ignores the difficulty OF
creating the sentiment and leaves
too much TO chance in seeing that il
is disseminated If the prohibition
is provided by law, it can readily be
brought before each hunter when he
obtains his yearly license At such
time he is usually apprised of
changes as to seasons and bag limits.
He can readily be warned against
the pump gun.

that if this department performs any

Economic Research Bureau
Report to Show New York
in Second Place

That the per capita income in
the District of Columbia is greater
than any other city in America is
the conclusion reached In a report
soon to be issued by the National
Bureau OF Economic Research.
The report, which will be issued
under the title, Income in the
Various States, Its Sources and
Distribution" will show New York
in second place.
Washington, according to the
report, has a larger proportion Of
persons gainfully employed than
any State in the Union.
The figures for the years 1919,
1920 and 1921 indicate that the
per capita income of the District
has been steadily increasing and
that Washington leads the nation
throughout. the entire period. In
1918 the per capita income here
was 1855. In 1920 it had increased
to 81 ,093, and one year later 1t
had jumped to 81 ,174.
The state of New York, ranking
second In the list, had per capita
income of 1897 in 1919. This in
creased to $1,012 in 1920, but the
next year 1t dropped back to 1881.
