No New Financing Will Be
 Required This Year

Washington, June lP - Un- expectedly large increases in iu- come tax and other internal reve- nue receipts will make it possible for the treasury to meet its matur- ing obligations at the end of this quarter without new financing.
 This is the first time since the world war that the treasury has been able to retire securities fall ing due at the end of a quarter out of current funds and have a sufii- ctent amount left on hand or in sight to meet requirements through the succeeding quarter.
 As a result, the public debt will be reduced s333.0o0. 900, the. total of short term securities falling due June Is. Al the end of the first quarter s60o.000.000 Of maturing bonds was floated

Washington Played
Fewest Contests
In 1925 Season

Chicago, Jan. 9-(AP)-Six hun
dred and sixteen games were played
in the American League during the
1925 season and Washington, pennant
winners, played the fewest contests.
The Senators travelled over a ISL
game route to win, having tied games
with Philadelphia and Boston that
were never played off and last Of
the season contest with the Athletics,
which went into the discard because
of bad weather.
The regular schedule called for 154
games. and there were four tied
games to be playel off. Detroit and
New York each played 156 games
and each had two ties to play off.
Boston had game each with Wash
ington and st. Louis. They were
never played because of bad weather.
AS whole, the weather man was
|, more generous last season than he
was in the previous two years. There
were fewer postponements, especially
during the early part of the schedule.
Boston appeared the hardest hit, hav-
ing suffered postponement on several
good dates. Two games in Chicago
were cancelled because of inclement
weather. being played off later in the
week on double-header bills.

Show Rapid Growth
In Golf Players
In This Country

Chicago, Jan. 8. - (AP) - New
methods of qualifying golfers for the
national championship, a change in
golf balls, and better ways of main
tanning golf courses were subjects of
discussion .today at the closing ses-
sion of the United States Golf AS.
ISOLATION. New officers headed by
William l. Frownes, Jr., of Pitts
burgh. as president, and Charles O.
Pfeil Of Memphis as first vice presi-
dent were installed and the inaugur-
al address of Mr.. Fownes, who spoke
on these subjects, was radiocast to
the millions of golfers in America.
The plan of qualifying only 16
players for the amateur champion
ship tried last year, was abandoned
because of dissatisfaction among
players and golf writer's. A scheme
to try regional qualifications and to
use courses with two or more links
was mentioned by President Fownes.
The most radical and probably
best liked suggestion was to do away
with medal score at the champion
ship as is done in Great Britain.
Mr.. Pfeil, who fathered this idea,
suggested that golfers who. stood out
for performance on the links in state
elected by an ineligibility commit
tee. All those selected would be
drawn for match play and fight it
out man to man.
President Fownes said the limita-
tons on golf balls are still under dis
cussion between Great Britain and
the U. S. G. A. and that possibly
some action will be taken this sum-
mer.
Most of the day was spent on a
symposium on upkeep of greens and
creeping bent grass. 1t was the con-
census that vegetatives planting of
bent grass was the best system and
the experts that the outstanding bents
like the Washington and Metropoli-
tan strains are best for all purposes.
Executive Secretary T. ]. MacMa-
hon of New York announced that
the following dates had been set for
the 1926 tournaments, whose venue
were given out several months ago:
Amateur Championship Sept. 1915
at Baltusrol.
Public Links Meet, August 81, at
Buffalo Municipal Course.
Woman"s Tournament, Sept. o.
Oct. 2. at Merton Cricket Club, Phil
adelphia. l..
Dates for the open championship
| awaited consideration of how many
| American golfers would attend the
| British amateur early in June and
the English open June 81. The
| event to be held at Scioto Club, CO.
| lumbus, will likely be set for the
middle Of May or early in July, prob
ably the latter date.
A report by the outgoing presi.
dent, Wynant D. Wanderpool, show.
ed that golf had grown so rapidly
since the World war that the mem
Der clubs in the L. S. G. A. had in
| creased 113 in 1925 and 1863 in the
| last seven years.
