AUDITORS LEAD
! RY. CLERK LOOP

BY taking all three games from
'Disbursing the Auditors team
rolled into first place in the
Southern Railway Clerks duckpin
league. In compiling their string
of wins the Auditors totalled a
1919 set with a high game of
64S.
The fine rolling of Foreman,
who got 1874, Ill and 1873 for
8S3 set, enabled the Purchasing
No. team to take the odd game
from Law. Foreman's fine score
gives him a III average for the
first 12 games of the season.
Although the Operation team
shifted it's lineup due to the ill.
ness of Captain Sole. it was able
to take two from Construction and
remains in a tie with the Auditors
for first place.
Standing Of the teams:

when to play short Of a bunker;
how to negotiate a good lie, and
so on. We learn as we go on in
the game, and the quality of our
golf improves almost without our
knowing how or why.
To the novice who Is suffering
from a bad setback l would say:
do not be discouraged; carry on
with your lessons and your prac-
tice, and the welcome advance-a
definite ratio Of progression in the
right direction-is sure to come.

JIM JUMPS,
THENH|TS
FLOOR
By Jack Dempsey


Anyone who browsed through
the record books of puglllsml
finds that only two men-Bob
Fitzsimmons and Jim Jettries
scored knockout victories
over gentleman Jim" Cor
bett. But Corbett maintains
that the facts are wrong.
"Another fellow beside that pair
n,,+ ma to Sleep" he declared. Ana
yet this! That third fellow wore
q set Of black whiskers and looked
like somebody that had been raised
as q pet" o r
In San Francisco when he was aDou'
16 and promptly became q mempeI
of the boxing class, Of which tel'
low named Gurichten was III,
structor. He told Corbett he wouio
trv him out personally to see
whether Jim was any good or not
"Gurichten wasn't awfully
popular and, when the gang IN
the gymnasium saw me out
shedding him, they started to
iosh him plenty" COrbett re-
calls, "Gurichten was blazing
mad by that time and every
nunch that he threw was loaded
with dynamite. But mono OF
them landed and i finished mp
the workout without ever being
hit by q solid blow"
The next afternoon when jim
dropped into the gymnasium and
asked for another go with Gurich'
fen. the teacher said he was too
busy" But he added:
"if YOU want to do some boxing
maybe that fellow over there Will
oblige you" He pointed a man
about fet tall, weighing around
200.
And" said Corbett. "he wore
more whiskers than both Of the
Smith brothers. He looked tame
and gentle-like an old grandfather
and l told Gurichten l guessed
maybe that fellow was too old.
"Oh. no." Gurichten answered.
"He isn't old. The beard makes
you think he il. He wants to do
some boxing and, II you want to
box with him, / can fix 1t up.
"Finally we squared off," re-
lated Jim. II pranCed around
bit. trying to see what Old Kid
Whiskers would do. He did moth
ing-just stood there. looking at
me, sort OF sad-eyed. So de-
cided to leap in and tap his
nose. remember doing the leap
but that's ali / remember until
about 40 seconds later / woke up
and found the boys pouring a
bucket Of water over me.
IT jumped and began to yell,
What's the matter with you fel.
lows?-why do you douse me?' They
caught hold of me, tried to calm
me. But 1 was sizzling mad You
see, things were clear in my head.
I didn't know what had happened.
I began looking around for my be.
whiskered foeman and was bowling,
Where's he gone? He said he was
going TO box me-
"'He did box you-the match Is
over-he's gone one of the boys
informed me.
What do you mean It's over?'
I roared And those boys just
grinned and said: The fellow with
whiskers, Jim-well. his name Is
Barnes. You took running jump
at him and he hit you once-and
that ended the affair. You're lucky
he didn't break your neck
"And I guess I was, for Barnes
the man with the whiskers, was
rated then, and still Is regarded by
many, as one of the greatest anna
teur heavyweights this country ever

President Hickey said the Ameri-
can Association would adopt a 1874
game schedule making the season
end around September II. The
junior world series, between the
pennant winners of the American
Association and the title winners of
the International League, will start
shortly after the close Of the regu-
lar season.
Accordingly to Hickey the
junior series will be finished by,
October I. This means the
teams will almost invariably
profit by playing with ideal
weather conditions prevailing.
"I am confident the league will
arrange it's schedule next season so
that the Junior world series will be
completed before the big world series
start" said the league executive. II
have talked with sufficient club
owners and they have told me they
are willing to admit the present
arrangement works a hardship on
the clubs and players and has no
benefits.
The International League, of
course, is expected to follow rhe
steps of the American Association.
The 16S game schedule has caused
considerable dissatifaction in that
circuit.
Under Hickey's plan each club
next year will make three trips to
each of the other cities in the cir
cult, just as was done this year. A
4-trip schedule has been suggested
but it will not he feasible under

CANOE RACE
| |SS(JNDAY
FEATURE

The Washington Sailing
Club, organized last fall for
the promotion Of the sport of
canoe sailing, will hold its
first annual championship
races ON the Potomac, off the
Lincoln Memorial, tomorrow,
the first race to start at IL
a. m.
During the past summer three
spirited contests have been staged;
the first by the Washington Sailing
Club, May 80; the second in connec-
tion with the Potomac Boat Club
regatta on August 10 and II and
; the third by Washington Canoe
Club, on September %.
g. In the first series of races How
ard Greene won two of the three
races handily, and as he had on
previous occasion staged a walk
away" requested the race commit
tee of the Sailing Club to place
him under a time handicap in the
Potomac regatta.
This the committee did not feel
competent to do in view of the lack
of comparative data, so Greene
reefed his normal sail spread of
14S square feet to about 100 feet in
b this regatta, finishing third and
missing second by a narrow margin.
James Hood won the race. Greene
was out of the city at the time Of
the Washington Canoe Club regatta.
e. s. McGuiggan, of Wash
1ngton Canoe Club annexed two
firsts and a third in the three
races held that day; while James
Hood finished first i'm one race
and second in two others.
Greene is entered for this regatta
and a hot three-cornered fight is
:. anticipated between his big gray
canoe and those belonging to Nc
Guiggan and Hood, who has con.
sfstently driven his canoe to a scor-
ing position in every recent race.
: Mrs. j. III. Hurst will enter a
new canoe, which, of course, is an
unknown quantity and as it has
been built especially for sailing in
the unlimited area class may be
expected to show considerable speed.
., From 10 to IL entries are
, anticipated in the Class A and
Free-fOr-All events, while In the
Glass B event six to eight canoes
" will face the line.
Given fair weather and sufficient
breeze the sailing canoes stage q
very pretty race, race not without
ats thrills for sailers and spectators
alike.
In the last races off Washington
Canoe Club in the rather sheltered
Georgetown channel, three upsets
marked the racing as we'll as a
number Of near swampings and col.
1isions, so given an ordinary wind
the regatta on the lower river where
the water is more fairly swept by
the wind should prove fast and
furious.
At any rate there will be ample
\ opportunity for the canoe sailers to
show their skill and to settle any
doubts which now exist as to just
Pwho Is who in canoe sailing in the
District of Columbia.

Now we will consider the games

the play at times Of champions as
well as buffers. Yes, that first per-
son plural pronoun (the Lindbergian
"we') can be used here quite
fittingly, because all of us run
into those way -off-form'' periods
every now and then.
When our standard of play Is i'm
proved we are fortunate II we avoid
a rank bad spell-a period when,
far from improving, our golf seems
to be getting worse. These periods
come to everyone, and, though they
are CALLING, they must be faced

weather starts In there about
that time and it would be much
better for these clubs to finish
in the East"
The Washington times., 1929-10-19

The long schedule has caused
many spring games to be postponed
and the consequence has been a
great many double headers late In
the season. According to President
Hickey this will be eliminated under
the new arrangement.
Il would venture to say" Hickey
declared, that had this years race
ended two weeks carrier the club
owners would have saved $5O,0O0.'

are greatly Over.rated.
1t may be that this illusion is
heightened by comaratively rapid
Improvement during, say, the first
six weeks or two months of the
players novitiate. Then will come
the inevitable crash. Everything
suddenly goes by the board and the
novice finds himself or herself play
ing much worse than when he or
she started.
/ have seen countless instances of
this sort Of thing, and many thor
oughly dispirited novices come to
me threatening to give up the game
altogether. The advice given in
such cases is often effective. I point
out that improvement in golf comes
and goes in waves. as it were. One
improves bit and then slips back:
then one improves still more and
again comes a setback: and SO on.
| am afraid many beginners are
impatient regarding the question of
improvement, and are apt to forget
the subtle phases of progress which
go on during ones progress to
low handicap. Much Improvement

it does not produce Immediately
visible results.
We often forget the fact that
our game today as compared
with that of, say, three years
ago, is a much more stable af-
fair. We do not make the de-
structive shots that we used
to do and we do not have to
use our niblick so frequently,
nor do we make such regular
visits to the tiger country" as
in the old days. This is
actually Improvement in its
best sense, but the process is
not tangibly apparent.
1t is really unconscious improve
ment-a something which is grad
ually going on as the result nf
continued hammering away at prac-
tice.
Improvement at golf is often the
result OF experience. Experience

situation when to go for . green;

Not infrequently when a be-
