Luck Big Part
In Average
Golf Game
By Ross L. Conkli
When is a golfer?
And when IS a duffer?


And when is a duffer?
The answer SIS that by far the
major portion of those who swing
at the animated ball are buffers"
But the lire of demarcation is hard
to draw.
Practically every man who has
played six times or more has had
a birdie, and that birdie would
probably have won that particular
hole from almost any golfer. But
on the other II holes, the duffer
would be lambasting his way
through traps. rough, and woods.
In the average round of golf.
the average golfer will shoot one
or two holes in highly acceptable
manner. And that is what keeps
him going. He most always sees
just little bit away. the day when
he will be champion golfer
champion OF the club, the city or
something.
The real golfers. naturally
enough. are those who can reel
off par after par. with an 0c-
caSiOnaI biriie. They don't just
happen TO hit the shot right. they
actually accomplish what they
had in mind by skill.
But 'bs duffer. even when he
score ed on hole, Is eff his
game he might happen to sink a
long putt. or drive one mile
straight down the heart of the fair
way, he might lift one out Of a
trap and lay 1T dead to the pin.
and he might take a mastie or a
No. or iron and play a nice
long shot. But he's lucky because
he cannot duplicate that shot once
in 20 times
The average golfer is one who
slams the ball into the cup for an
average score OF 100 or less.
II he is used to shooting 100 and
he shoots So. he is just as much off
his game as the man who ordinarily
shoots Is and then slips up for a
juicy IS. The two cases are very
similar.
The duffer comes IN with scores
Of possibly from 10 up. Then,
there are those who. shoot around
$50. They cannot be called either
golfer or duffer. They are-for
want OF q better word-experi-
mentors.

lief that the eolonels can take no

Certainly there will be plenty Of

to force contest between Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney. they

mission has granted permission for

action it sees fit to take will be

The Hog Caller

With leather lungs and rubber
throat he raised a frightful din, and
from their Businesses remote the hogs
came rushing in. They heard his
loud and raucous cry across the field
and hill, and homeward made their
trotters fly, to sip the sparkling swill.
The man who called them Is the
champ Of all the calling host; he made
competitors decamp, he is our pride
and boast. To him belongs the dia-
mond belt, and trophies neat and
trim; oh, Is there one who has not
felt a swelling pride in him? His
throats equipped with wheels and
cogs that round each other play, and
when he rears up, calling hogs, they
hear him versts away. His technique
rejoice, and far across the county line
they hear and heed his voice. Pre-
suming rivals sometimes deemed that
they could do as well, and so they
primed themselves and screamed,
sent up their throbbing yell. But
there Is more in calling swine than
merely making noise; the champion,
with methods fine, much artistry en-
ploys. And when he howls the cul-
tured ear discerns a soothing note.
that brings the porkers from the
mere and glen and dell remote. So
let him now his laurels f1aunt, and
let his days be sweet; he Is beyond
the reach of want, he dwells in Easy
street. His pictures in the public
prints, we see 1t every day, some
times in black, sometimes in tints.
his medals on display. The movie
magnates soon will call this hero to
the screen, although the film cans
show the bawl that makes the hogs
careen. There Is a lesson in the rise
of this hog calling gent, of worth to
unsuccessful guys who voice their
discomfort. The delegate who can
excel in any mortal task, cen though
it's but to stand and yell, may on

BOULEVARD LINK
GIVEN APPROVAL.
Proposed Connection of Two
Park Units Endorsed by
Commission Committee.

Plans for another boulevard to con-
meet two units in the park system
in the National Capital were approved
today by the co-ordinating committee
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and sent to the
District of Columbia Commissioners
with a recommendation that a public
hearing be held prior to it's being
made a part Of the permanent high
way plan of the city.
The proposed street, which the
committee recommends to be l20 feet
wide, would connect tho Soapstone
Valley entrance to Rock Creek Park
with the proposed Foundry Branch
Parkway in Georgetown.
Course is Outlined.
The proposed highway would con.
meet with Yuma street, south of Soap
stone Valley, following Reno road to a
point northwest of the Bureau of
Standards grounds, then turning
southwark to connect either with TIL
den or Upton street, which are recon-
nended for a 120-foot width. The mat
ter OF which of the two last named
streets will be selected to become a
part or this boulevard is lett Tor fur-
ther study by the committee.
The committee recommended to the
Commissioners that 15-foot building
restriction be stablished along the
west side OF square 2510. which is
north Of Massachusetts avenue, and
on the border and west of Rock Creek
and Potomac Parkway. Under the
present regulation, property owners
there may build right up to the side
walk line, but the proposed restriction
would require 15-foot front yard
parking in front of any buildings
erected there.
Action on Proposal Withheld.
The committee considered but took
no final action on certain changes
proposed In Utah and Nebraska ave
nues near their intersection. 1t was
tentatively recommended that Utah
