of the Army War College, today h
4he proud owner Of q District golf
record and the Army In general II
enthused over one OF the most re-.
markable team victories in the an.
mails Of the game. scored over the
Navy.
Il all happened ON the carpet.like
nine.hoIe course at Washington
Barrack in the annual battle for
the War College medal originated
by General Ely.
Sixteen matches were played. The
Army won eight, the Navy took five
and three were tied.
Ordinarily score Of s to 5
would indicate rather decisive
victory. But It Is doubtful IL
any other team competition In
the history of golf was more
closely contested than this
struggle between representative
players of Uncle Sans fighting
departments, with the Marine
Corps assisting the Navy.
Evtry match that resulted in
victory and defeat was decided by
q score OF one up. At one time
General Ely sent out the Barracks
adjutant, Capt. Bob Cleiand, to get
the downtown on the situation.
His report after careful survey
ef the matches in progress was:
The Army looks good either to
win or lose by about nine up"
General Ely. in defeating Gene
fnander e. A. M. Gendreau, estab-
1shed an amateur record for the
District by holing out with one putt
on fifteen green's. On the other
three he required only two pokes.
One of his longest puts hoped out
of the cup, thus cheating him Of
the distinction Of having more one
putt green's than ever made in an
1S-hole round in championship com.
petition by either amateur or pro.
His medal score was 70.
Mel Shorey, professional at
East Potomac Park, two years
ago at Columbia in qualifying
Tor the p. G.. A. tournament,
had Is one putt holes on one
round and 13 on another, thus
giving him 20 out OF So.
General Ely's performance on
the greens was the outstanding
indiyidual feat of the ar1ny.navy
tournament, but there were others
quite noteworthy. Mai. Sandy Nc.
Andrews, for instance, set q course
record for championship play with
a. S. that included a vertitable
flock OF brides. He got five in
the first nine holes. But even
with that exceptional showing he
was barely able to whip Comdr.
ID. L. Woods.
Another birdie performer was Col.
James Taylor, who scored two in a
row to even his match with Comdr.

Wooden Cars, Cause

The number of passengers injured
Monday afternoon when a northbound
Sixth Avenue al" train crashed into
the rear of another preceding it on
the lower level at the Sixty-sixth
street and Columbus avenue station
has reached &c, one of them very
serious.
Amos Hartley, Negro, is now in
a critical condition at the Knicker-
booker Hospital with fractured
skull, and the other injured passen-
gers have been treated for cuts and
bruises.
Frail Cars A-Danger.
The passengers were riding in
wooden cars Of the l. R. T. at the time
of the accident. In spite of the FREE
quent occurrence of accidents Of this
kind, the Anticipated and dangerous
cars are still being used to a large
extent by the marlborough.
Nearly all of the injured were in
the first car of the second train and
the rear car of the first which col
lided with a crash that was heard for
the noise of shattered glass caused
blocks. The screams of women and
great excitement in the neighborhood,
but half a block from Broadway, and
drew a large crowd.
Stock Excuses.

were offered in explanation Of the
accident, the wooden-car aspect being

rents equal those of all the other
boroughs.
Long Ways To Work.
The average Bronx apartment costs
as much as the average Manhattan
apartment. On the whole, the Bronx
is a better, lighter and more airy bor-
ough to live in. But workers who live
there must spend an hour. on the
transit lines to get anywhere and they
must suffer inhuman crowding.
Rooms in the Bronx are much
smaller than those anywhere in the
city except in the new buildings cree
ted in Queens. Apartments are small
er, averaging three rooms. The build
ings are taller, making walk-ups an
other drain on the tenants energies.
Only one, if any, of the rooms are
light and airy. And clothes lines are
on the roof, dread to all housewives.
Rents in the Bronx have mounted
steadily since 1919. Even before that
time they were on the increase, but
in 1919 the boosts became phenom-
email in the history Of real estate.
Many Manhattan realtors sold their
property and built new houses in the
Bronx. Their investments have al
ready been covered by their incomes;
their capital is now free to be in
vested in new fields for exploitation.
That is the adding machine picture
Of the Bronx. Housing commissioners
insist that there are rooms to be had
for 81 and $5. They may be, but not
in New York, and especially not in
the Bronx.

10 Mielziner Employs Trick
In His Settings Of PygmaiOn'

Altho one might never suspect it,
the stage sets Of the Theatre Guilds
production of "Pygmaliop" were de-
signed and executed by 10 Mielziner
with the idea of proving one Of his
pet theories. That the theory, I'M
usual enough in man whose living
is made by his stage designing, is
that the scenery should be as obtru-
sive as possible. In support of his
contention, Mielziner has worked out
trick to prove that audiences do
not look at scenery after the first
few minutes of the play. Their at
tention, he claims, is Cor should bel
riveted on the play and not the seem
cry. ti@'l
The second act setting Of "Pgy-
malion," which Is an interior, has on
IT'S back wall the light showing
through a window, the whole light
being projected by a, device in the
wings. The effect of sunshine is
thus achieved in room which dis
plays no windows at all, but more
important than this, the sunshine is
quietly Stolen" off, so that after the
curtain has been up for about ten
minutes the sun shines no more.
Very few in the audience note this
trick, however, this proving the con
tention Of Mielziner's that the first
effect Of The scenery does not last
particularly II the play is as inter-
esting as "Pygmalion."
Readers Of The DAILY WORKER
who will see "Pygmalion" at the
Guild Theatre during the week Of
March 81 to 81, for the benefit Of
the paper, will have ample opportun-
ity of putting, or failing to put, their
attention upon Mr.. Mielziner's light
ing effects and general stage set
tings. Tickets can be purchased at
The DAILY WORKER office, 1903
East 14th Street, The Freiheit office,

gins Book Shop.

LANDLORDS GO
. ON WITH FIGHT
FOR MORE rent
Not Content with Board
Cutting Down Relief

ALBANY, March 15.-In spite of
the victory which they gained in the
adoption of the recommendation of
Governor Smiths Housing Commits
sion, representatives of real estate
boards of New York City are contin-
uing their fight against any possible
relief measures which might be en-
acted during the present session of the
legislature.
Landlords Fight On.
The landlords have announced that
they will battle to the closing day Of
the session. IF they are not successful
in preventing the enactment of those
recommendation which offer partial
relief to the tenants, they will find
some cheer in the report itself which
said that this would probably be the
last year for "relief" rent laws.
Casual Treatment.
Numerous tenants organizations,
trade unions and public health of
ficials are expressing their amaze
ment at the superficial manner in
which the whole problem has been
treated by the housing board and also
by Governor Smith, who has expressed
his approval Of its recommendations.
The governors commission has rec
commended that the Emergency Rent
Laws be continued until June, 1928.
At the same time it advocated that
the law shall apply to all apartments
renting for SIS or less room in
New York City, instead Of $50 or
under as at present.
Less Relief.
The result has been that the paltry
"relief" assured by the emergency
laws has been lessened, and thousands
Of workers will again be at the mercy
of the New York landlords.
Meanwhile, both the landlords and
reactionary lawmakers are soothing
at warnings from health authorities
and social workers that New York is
in real danger of an epidemic if the
present dangerous oyercrowding in
many parts Of the city continues.

GRITTY report, introduced by Mr.. Levin
son, objected to seating the delegate
from Local Of the Furriers Joint

A lengthy discussion followed, Lev

cause this local had been expelled by

part i'm this conference. A rising vote
was then called for by Chairman
Pickens, and the minority polled three

majority of over a hundred

Further discussion arose when VIII
liam Karlin, one Of the socialist dele
gates, refused position on the ways

provoked comments from several dele
gates, as well as the chairman, and
one representative finally asked
whether they had come to help China
or union politics The socialists then
subsidized for a while.

How the Bronx workers make ends
meet is one of the unanswerable prob
lens of sociology, paying as they do
S44 month for rent, and receiving
an average wage of only S38 a week.
OF course, except in the Stun sections.
they receive more for that SAL than
the average New York tenant. But
the rooms are smaller and fewer.
It would accomplish little, as far
as we are concerned, to compile a
tabulation of the various sections of
the Bronx. A small table, like the
one that follows, will not only serve
the purpose, but bring home the fact
that the Bronx tenant is being sadly
exploited.
