Kelland and John Golden are after the
scalp Of Clair Briggs. Mr.. Golden
claims that Mr.. Briggs kept him wait
ing on the first tee for more than an
hour, and as Mr.. Golden is naturally
impulsive and eager for battle, this de-
lay was no vast help to his quivering
nervous system. There Is still another
feud between Ruhe Goldberg and
Charlie Williams. They played three
matches last Winter, finished all square
in each and both had 107 in all three
matches. If that isn't consistency, you
can think up the right word.
Two of the most formidable entries
are Ray and Clair Maxwell of the IA
nous Four Maxwells--Lee, Lloyd, Ray
and Clair-all Of whom play under 80.
Lee Maxwell has played Round Hill in
20. which shows his pace. Ray and
Clair will be two of the first flight IA
vorites, the former being the Wykagyl
champion.
Two of the keenest golfers In the
roundup are George Abbott the play
wright and director, and william Che
merry, editor of Golfers. They haven't
bsen at the game for any great length
CT time, but both have improved i'm
mensely through forced marches to the
tight form. Floyd Parsons is another
golf student who has made big strides
In the last year.
1t was Rube Goldberg who claimed
that the ground was so valuable at this
course that they had divot detectives
to search each player, to see that no
one carried divot away.
Mr.. Goldberg experienced some diff

this tournament: After losing three
matches, he still found himself drawn

Tales Of a Wayside Tee
BY GRANTLAND RICE

One of the most savage of the sea-
sons golf tournaments breaks out at
Palm Beach tomorrow. where the Artists
and Writers exchange blows. In this
impending carnival Rex Beach Is one
of the most favored of all the entries in
the first fight sector, but the COMPETE
ton is even keener in the second, third
and fourth flights. It was so keen in
the second flight last year that in one
match AL Jolson, who still thinks he
had won the match on the seventeenth
green, was beaten on the nineteenth.
There also was much feeling when Bud
Kelland, the eminent author, made this
suggestion to Clair Briggs. the eminent
cartoonist, before their match: THE
only difference between playing you and
drawing bye is that will have some
one to talk to-" This remark worked
not only defeated Mr.. Kelland but went
on to win his flight.
Rex Beach is one Of the long hitters
Of the game, amateur or pro. The
highly esteemed author, who used to
take his vacations in Alaska in the old
Tex Rickard days, switched to Southern
Florida for change, and now the sun
gets his entire vote as against the ice
and snow. Rex weighs about 2l5 or 900
and none of it Is fat. He is not only
powerfully built but he has a fine golf
swing. with straight left arm that
matches Bobby Jones. He is longer
hitter than most of the pros or the
leading amateurs. and good iron
player as well. In the tournament last
January his putting let him down when
he looked to be the hardest man In the
field to stop. In the Artists and Writers
tournament last Fall at North Hemp
sted the long hitting author had rs
with three puts on five or six greens
which shows how the rest of his game
was working.

feuds from last Winter. Both Bud

TIME Maryland Legislature is In
session, and two bills OF particu-
lar interest TO local anglers,
i Sportsmen and conservationistS
have been prepared for intro
duction in that body, namely. the purse
net bill and the black bass bill, and
will be presented in a short time, pos
sihly within several weeks. The bills
will be introduced by the Maryland
State conservation legislative advisory
committee, which comprises representa-
tives Of Is sportsmen's clubs IN the
state Of Maryland.
Briefly the bills are as follows:
Purse Net Bill.-To abolish the use
ing FISH from the waters Of Maryland.
Black Bass Bili.-To prohibit the sale
Of the black bass in the State of Mary
land and the transportation Of this
species Of fish out of the State; also to
prohibit the taking Of the black bass in
any manner except by hook and line
from July to December l, and that
all fish must be of a legal size of 10
inches or over.

or blues, that in a short time they will
become extinct, II the operation is con-
tinued. Members of the conservation
department of Maryland and other
States have declared the purse net the
most deadly killer of them all. o fact
that has been brought out time and
time again. The purse nets take far
more fish than they can possibly mar
ket and care for, and thousands OF
these game fish are thrown away to be
used as fertilizer

Der of local and other anglers visiting
the bay have diminished, and last sea-
son. the loss Of revenue to the boatmen
and others catering to the wants of the
anglers was so noticeable that they
have joined the movement for the abo-
lition Of the purse net.
The movement has been further aided
by the many cottage owners with homes
along the bay who bought. principally,
to enjoy the good fishing to be had dur
ing former years. A great many of
these cottage owners have signified
their intention Of dispostng Of their
homes unless some action Is taken by

 In conclusion. Mir. Geist, who was guest of the Chamber of Com merce this afternoon at the weekly luncheon, stated he again desired at this time to thank the many government departments which as sisted in so many ways to make the work a little easier: particu- larly to the coast guard service, the lighthouse service, the Bureau of Education and the Department of Agriculture. At no time was he refused assistance from them.

Just be- fore he left them the chief hunter of the tribe, Jimmie Otiyohok, an outstanding example of a Christian Eskimo, and his family, rendered him a farewell feast. From the meat cellar they brought up choice whale flukes taken from a carcass two years previously. The odor was rather strong. Geist admitted, but like Eskimo ice cream, the meat was delicious.

Captain Whitlam was glad to turn it over to the College and thanks were extended to him for acquisition of the valuable trophy for which he no doubt could have realized a large sum if he had de- sired to dispose of it elsewhere.
 Next seasons activities will turn toward excavating work in the In- terior where it is anticipated mast adons will be unearthed as we'll as other prehistoric animals.

Seward Gatewa A White Eskimo

Aghvook, a member of the Es- kimo tribe on St, Lawrence Is- land, arrived in Seward on the M s Boxer No more will Aghvook eat seal skins full of Eskimo ice cream or whale meat two years old, even though both are delicious to his way of thinking. For with Aghvook's arrival in the city he cast aside his guise and garb of an Eskimo to reappear as when he left here years ago; as Otto w. Geist, collector for the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of Mines.
 And such strange tales of the customs and conditions of that kindly tribe he brings back.
 Sponsored by President Chas. E. Bunnell of the Alaska College, MT. Geist has concluded four years of work along archaeological, ethno- logical and geological lines for the College and has collected between 25,O00 and 30,0O0 specimens for the museum most of which date back to prehistoric ages. During the last two years he has harvested approximately five tons and it is doubtful, he states, if the collection is equalled by any museum in the world. To Alaskans, to whom the work has been dedicated, the col lection is invaluable. Dr. Bunnell gave the money for the expedition and MT. Geist donated his time.

Wild White and Blue Fox

The main source of resources are from wild white and blue foxes and of the latter MT. Geist says they don't make them any better any where. Approximately 2,000 were caught in 192S-29 by the Eskimos. The white or Arctic fox bring as high as SIP on the market but some of the blue fox bring several hundreds of dollars each.
 The islanders are a very thrifty race and during the last three years have begun to buy every mod ern convenience from houses to ev- erything which goes into them, in- cluding photographs and radios. But in the winter time, owing to lack of fuel, though there are coal deposits on the islands, they revert back to their former mode of liV- ing; into the "agra" their homes built from drift-wood and skins.
 MT. Geist, at this point, again stressed his appreciation to the Bureau of Education for allowing him to remain on the island fol three years to record the life oi the tribe whose customs within few years will be extinct.
