Washington. D. c.. was very. much

title Of Eagle Ferris, was awarded
premier honors in the open junior
all-age event. the stake which is
regarded as second only TO TIE

annual field trials of the English
Setter Club OF America.
The winner of the junior event
conclusively demonstrated to the
gallery and also those who have
followed and handled field trial dogs
for the last decade that he is all
most a super-dog.
With the wind, which during the
time that the dogs were travelling
over the grounds of the Friends of
the Hunting Dog. where the course
is laid out, blowing a gale, this
handicapped the various entries to
such an extent that when it came
to locating the birds it was a case
of almost being foreign to any of
the dogs.

SOCK PILL
At: ROCK
CREEK
BY ROSS L. CONKLIN


For better or for worse, the
Rock Creek municipal golf links
were thrown open to the public
early today and the rush to. try
out S. G. Loeffler's new course
was clocked at few minutes
after 6. The Rock Greek players
have one of the prettiest and most
exacting municipal courses in the
country.
The course as it now stands
bears little resemblance to the old
one. Not a single hole has escaped
remodeling. Pathways have been
widened. Greens have been re-
made. Trees have been cut out
to enable wider driving range.
The clubhouse has been taken
down and a new one, modern in
every detail, has been erected.
Two nine-hole courses will be
opened, but players who desire to
play only one course, or who wish
to take both in a single round,
can do so. With the % holes at
East Potomac and the nine at West
Potomac, Washington now has o.
holes of really high class pubic
links.
Danny Horgan, professional at
Rock Creek last year, has been
supplanted. by Con Murphy, who
was at East Potomac last year.
Leoffler has also taken over the
dining room and all the concessions
at the club.
New tiled baths have been in-

The PENNSYLVANIA Primary

picture Of political corruption that surpasses
the activities Of Newberry in his palmiest days is
being presented the nation through the hearings
being conducted by the Senate Select Committee on
Campaign Expenditures in the state Of Pennsyl-
vania concerning the recent Pepper-Vare primary
contest.
According to the testimony before this committee
the whole primary organization throughout the
state is ''made to order for fraud" and presents,
in the lavish expenditures of funds, an unovely pic
turc Of the rotten side of politics at its worst.
It seems fatal mistake not to limit the amount
that can be spent by primary candidates in their
campaigns. Pennsylvania's neighbor on the east
New jersey has such restriction on the various
candidates. and while it may not have entirely Grad
icated the money evil in the primaries, it has GER
tainly reduced it greatly.
OF course, this is expensive age. One cannot
conduct a primary campaign nothing any moro
than we can still buy good butter at Is cents a
pound. Thus an unreasonable limit should not be
placed on expenditures. But when We learn what
was spent for the Pepper ticket in Pennsylvania 5
primary realize that it constitutes the expendi-
ture of more money than is conducive to honesty in
any campaign.
