TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

"What kind Of a nut does it
take to enter walking race !"
was the question hurled at this
humble commentator last Satur-
day when over 100 men, women,
boys and girls were still on the
road between Washington and
Baltimore in an announced 90
mile step.
Insinuating as was the query,
it deserves an answer, II only
for the purpose of defending
that style of competition from
the derision of those who can't
see the other fellows sport with
a set of field glasses.
IL we all were cuckoo over
golf, there would be much more
congestion on the links than
there is now. If each of US
was a baseball nut, we'd need
three leagues in this town to
satisfy the appetites. Similarly,
if tennis or polo or swimming
or bowling occupied our exclu-
sive participation, each of those
sports would require traffic
cops to keep the lines forming
to the right.
The fact that walking races
are not staged every day does
not make the competition the
less sporty or any the less use
full. Offhand we can't think of
any one function in life that is
more important than being a
good walker and knowing how
to pick 'em up and lay 'em down
properly-so that the greatest
amount of physical development
accrues.
In walking, as in any activity,
there is a right and a wrong
way. If you don't throw out
your chest, keep your chin up,
breathe properly and get ryth-
matte swing of the arms, you
are losing four of it's most valu-
able elements.
Outside of swimming, there
is no one line of physical en-
deavor which develops the body
so evenly as proper walking.
The great amount of strutting
and striding is so per cent of
the value of golf as a game for
all ages and all sexes.
Any doctor whose practice
goes beyond the gesture of writ
ing prescriptions, will tell you
people are not walking enough
these days. The automobile
has stamped out the art. Respi-
ration and digestion, without
either of which we wouldn't
last long, have no better aides
than the feet.
We'd rather be in a walking
racers shoes than in the seat
of an aut mobile ra GER!
Wouldn't vou ?

F Inn FAVOR|TE
IN MARATHON

HoPKINToN, Mass., April 10
Frigid weather greeted hundred
or more runners as they gathered
here today for the annual Ameri-
can marathon of the Boston Ath-
letic Association.
Albin Stenroos, F;nland's 4O-year-
old marathon champion, was the
favorite, with Clarence DeMar, Mel
rose, Mass, Post, American Legion,
as second choice. There were plenty
Of dark horses in the field, how
ever.
The course was from this town

Street, Boston. a distance of 20
miles, 385 yards.

poets to duplicate his performance
today and to lower the American
marathon record held by the little
DeMar, printer.runner, of 2:29:40 1-5,
made over the course in 1924.
The starting time was noon and
the finish between 2:30 and 8 p. m.
Thousands lined the route of the
run this forenoon.
The race is conducted under
Olympic conditions. There were no
relief stations but runners needing
aid were supplied from motorcycle
side-cars.
One hundred and twelve men en-
tered the race which was the
thirtieth annual run held under
the auspices of the B. w. A.
Among the entries were, James

Bowing Game
Shows Big
Increase

The continued growth in bowling
is best shown in the returns from
the annual American Bowling Con-
gress tournament. When more than
10, 1000 individuals will travel from
all parts of the country, without
any guarantee Of expenses, to COM
pete in this classic which extends
over a period of 80 days, it is evil
dent that the game must have a
strong appeal.
A total of more than 500, 900 was
distributed in prizes, making it APP
parent that there must be some
wealth. in the game. Bowling has
few professionals and gains it's sup
port largely from the amateurs.
1t is a game for the competitors
and not the spectator. 1t is diff.
ficult to arrange accommodations
for large galleries and the sport,
therefore, gains its support from
the participants.
New York is still hopeful of hold.
ing the A. B. c. tournament and
officials in the Metropolitan district
are bending every effort to have
the classic here either in 1928 or
1929. In order to have the tourna.
ment it Is necessary to guarantee
at least 1000 teams.
It now appears quite certain that
New York will qualify. The record
entry for the Metropolitan cham.
pionships which started last Satur-
day and the renewed interest in
the State tournament now in
progress at Syracuse show clearly
that bowling is making great
strides along the Atlantic seaboard.
Then again conditions under
which bowling Is conducted now
are much in contrast with those
of a few years ago when the game
held sway on alleys in subterran-
can homes.
Now most Of them are above the
ground level and in academies
which are well ventilated.
It is game which requires
physical endurance as well as skill
and for that reason has proved pop
ular among Industrial and financial
institutions, where it has become
one Of the leading recreative sports
In fact, it is those industries which
have become THE backbone of bowl
ing.
The bowling leaders are enthu-
siastic over the splendid progress
that has been made and look OPP
timistically TO the future.

ARMOUR'S
SCORE IS
TOPIC
BY ROSS L. CONKLIN


Several score members of the Con
8resslonal Country Club have wasted
. thousand scratch pads figuring out
what Tommy Armour, the clubs
brilliant young golf professional,
would have shot in the exhibition
match with Page, Hufty, Roland
Mackenzie and Freddy Mcleod HAD
ne sunk those breaking puts
tnat he SO narrowly missed
The estimates varied from So as
MS probable score to the 20 which
some Of the more experienced golfers
would have liked to give him. There
u no question but that Tommy had
tough luck on some of his puts, but
Freddy Mcleod didn't have a horse
snoe around. his neck and neither
uld any of his amateurs.
After several heated arguments as
% what the Congressional pro
might have shot, it was decided to
send to town for two more bales of
paper and gross of pencils.
Tommy was In fine fettIe, even
enOngh he and Hufty were forced
90 lower their cOlOrs to the Co

Snat was an easily excused mis-
cue. He trimmed the cup for
brides many times, but they
Wouldn't fan, while Mcleod and
Mackenzie did stick them in.
Tommy was straight and true
on the tee. Mcleod was shorter,
but straighter and truer, while both
the amateurs were a bit erratic.
Neither OF the latter developed any
exceptional liking for the chilly
breezes that swept the course.
Both Roland and Hufty got
birdie fives on the first hole, and
Tommy halved the second, in par
figures. with both his opponents.
All got threes on the third, and
again Armour halved with both
enemies when he got a four on the
fourth.
The fifth hole was the first one
won. Armour ran down a putt for
. neat birdie four, and on the very
next hole Mcleod duplicated the
feat by securing a birdie three to
even the match. Armour and Nc
Leod got friendly tours on the
seventh, but Mcleod and MacKen-
xie COPIED the eighth with birdie
tours.
The match waxed peaceful and
quiet until the fifteenth hole. where
Mcleod putted ont in four, making
his team two up. It was then up
to the Congressional boys to do
something, and Armour did it.
He holed out his second shot on
the sixteenth after driving just off
the green from the tee. It was
the most brilliant feat of the day.
He must have made Mcleod peev-
ish when he pulled the play, for
Freddie birdied the seventeenth and
ended the day. Shooting the eight
zenith, Armour drove the green and
cot a birdie three.
Both Mcleod. and Armour had
72's, to break par by one stroke.
Mackenzie had . 10 and Hufty
an IS.
In the exhibition match at
Beaver Dam, George Voigt and
Cliff McEdmmie defeated George
Diffenbaugh and Frank Hartig,
enc up. Voigt won two holes, one
with 8 birdie. and Diffenbaugh got
q birdie.
Frank Hartig suffered an injury
to his eye Saturday, when he was
struck by a wild golf ball, and his
game was not up to normal as
result.

that the quasi judicial power con-

er conferred on these judges by the
State constitution, which provides that
they shall issue all licenses required
by law to be issued in the county. and
is reasonable exercise of legislative

The Florida law provides that all

The commissioners Of Prince
