BOB STEIN STARTS
 ID DEFEND TITLE
Coli Play at Chicago Gets Under
 Way Today

Chicago. Aug. :2 R>-Bob Stein, a stocky built lad from Seattle, | whose chief golf asset is accuracy, today was to start the defense of his western amateur championship at Bon O'Link. Opposing him in the opening round of match play was Gus Novotny, former University of Illinois star, one of the 31 sur vivors of field of 1S5 that started the qualifying rounds Monday on the we'll trapped 7.20O yard course. Stein drew number l position while at the other end of the draw inss was T. Phillip Perkins, current British amateur titleholder and a member of the British Walker cup team. Perkins stroked the course in 35-36-71, and the second best score of yesterdays play. He quail fled with a 145. at which figure he fled with Phillip Finaly, the Har- ward sophomore from Los Angeles and one of the longest drivers in the game. Perkins was paired for the first round Of the match play with Ira l.. Couch of Chicago, who got in with 512.
 But it was not Perkins or Don Moe of Portland. Me, who burned up the course with q 69 in the first round. That set the large gallery talking. It was the curly headed John Dawson of Chicago, who hob bled around the IS holes on an ankle that was broken only d few weeks ago and managed to clip three strokes off par 72 for medal honors of the tournament. His Al was three strokes better than Noes.
 Dawson, who was drawn at the top Of the second bracket, was pair ed with Kenneth 1lisert. 1925 west ern conference champion. Moe was to meet C. l.. Weems, the golfins mayor of Quincy, Ill.,, who got in with a 512.
 Ten members Of the British Walker cup team started play in the tournament but only four sur Nived. Three of the Britons got under the wire without much diff culty but the fourth, T. A. Torrance, had to go five extra holes in the pIay-off before he defeated a field of nine, who tied at 155. Dr. Will liam TWeddell. captain of the Walk CT cup team, came through with d 512 and drew Lawrence Moiler. the second Quincy. Ill.,, player to quali- iy in the opening round. Eustace storey, the Englishman who plays clad in white flann.ls and linen coat, was in the group of 154's that qualified. Storey had for his op- ponent today Rial Kolfc, Chicago.

Clean Up. Please!

The Commissioners have issued their
annual proclamation on Clean up
week" and from May 81 TO 26, inclusive.
the residents Of the District are asked
to bestir themselves In making things
spick and span and to rid their premises
of winters accumulation Of trash. The
Commissioners thus publicly call atten-
ton to the commendable and firmly In
trenclled custom of Spring cleaning.
In this democracy they can do no more
They may ask, but they cannot order,
all householders to clean up. And for
this reason the politely worded procla-
nation of the Commissioners on Clean
UP week" affords an interesting contrast
to a proclamation that has recently
been issued by Mussolini in Italy rela-
tive to the honorable pastime Of swat
ting the fly.
Instead Of issuing pronunciamento,
stating, in effect, that every good citi-
zen should swat the fly, Premier Mus
solini has the Official Gazette publish
decree authorizing the ministry OF
internal affairs, of which Signor Mus
solini is. head, TO issue regulations max
ing 1t compulsory to swat the fly. Any
one who does not follow the regulations
and do his duty will be liable to fine
Of from zoo to 1000 lire. And as Pre-
mier Mussolini is one who backs up
the orders OF his ministers, any one who
does not follow the edicts of the min
ister of internal affairs, who Is Signor
Mussolini, may expect to get the worst
of it.
Whether the best results, In the end,
come from ordering. as does Mussolini,
or pleading. as do the Commissioners.
will be left for the historians and the
students of government. But If the
householders of Washington have their
usual collection of Winters leftover
Christmas trees. odd overshoes, bricks,
stones. broken toys, tin cans, deformed
umbrellas and old issues of magazines
that have been saved with the idea of
some day framing the pictures on the
covers, the week of May 21-26 will offer
a rare opportunity to dispose of them.
During that period the trash men,
usually so supercilious in their choice
of domestic debris, will be broad-mind-
ed, following instructions from high
authority, and will haul away anything
they are asked to take Such opportu-
nifty knocks but once year.

the Curtiss Hawk, single scatter fighters.
Each type of ship win be placed In
competition with others Of It's own
type. In other words. the huge slow
moving bomber will not be pitted
directly against the speedy Curtiss
fighters, which naturally are expected
to cover the course in the shortest time.
With startling accomplishments in
the air almost a daily feature Of the
news and with aviation now so much
in the public eye. the Navy races are
a treat for Washington. The roar OF
motors at full throttle. the sharp turns
around tbs pylons and the planes
streaking through the air will be a
sight we'll worth watching. OF par
ticular interest to the aviation en-
thusiast will be the comparison between
the performance Of the newly developed
air-cooled engines and the conventional
water-cooled type. There is supposed
to be some difference In speed in favor
Of the latter but exceptional progress
has been made in the air-cooled en-
gine, and It may be that the difference
will be reduced to minimum. The
training planes, the vought Corsair, the
Curtiss and some of the amphibians
have the air-cooled motor. The Martins
have water-cooled engines OF eight
hundred horsepower. The performance
Of the two types of amphibians will,
therefore. offer direct contrast in speed.
Healthy enthusiasm is stimulated in
the service by such competitions. Pilots
are anxious to have their ships In
spick and span condition, so that
creditable showing can be made when
the race gets under way. 1t is good
for the layman, too. He sees what the
Government is doing to keep its aerial
defenses at high pitch Of efficiency.
Washington is indeed gratified that 1t
has been selected for the spectacle.
