E. P. (Eddie) Brooke authorizes the
statement that various scurrilous rumors
concerning his clubmate, V. Calvert
Dickey, and the new smaller paper
money recently issued by the Treasury
are not true and have no foundation In
fact Brooke was approached today az
the Washington Golf and Country Club,
where both he and Dickey play, by an
other golfer, who asked this question:
Eddie, is it true that Dickey has
raised the price of playing golf with
him, now that the paper money Is
smaller?"
Brooke went into consultation with
two more of DickeyS playmates, and
after considerable investigation found
that the yarn concerning the man who
never gives up is not true. Dtckey
achieved the reputation OF never giving
up after topping his tee shot into
ditch at the third hole after his oppo-
nent had poled out a perfect drive and
had an iron shot to the green. But
Dickey kept plugging away, and finally
won the hole by sinking 30-foot putt
for 6, when the opponent went into
a bunker and took three puts. Dtckey
is the author of the "taxi-ride" episode,
which has become a classic at Wash
ington.
Here is the way IT. worked out. DlcKey
was playing in four-ball match with
a partner who gave him no help on the
first nine. And in consequence his side
lost the initial nine. So Dickey made a
match with his partner for small sum
of money. adding, They may ride on
my back, but I'm going to charge them
taxi fare just the same" Since that
time Dickey's taxi rides have become
famed institutions at Washington, and
the other players of the club have taken
up the idea. mo more taxi rides" Is
the slogan of the day at Washington.
Dickey also instituted another popu-
lar fad at the Virginia club, the custom
OF playing brides and pars. He goes
out almost every day with the same
foursome, and they all play something
| on parS and something" on brides.
! One day, after Dickey had been get
| ting fewer than his usual share of pars,
he breeZed over the course with l. pars
| and birdie-13 pars in all. And ]
! would have gotten five more pars," he
said, but wanted to leave the boys
with money enough to get home"
| Dickey has the most aptly cultivated
| slice ever seen around Washington. AL
ways under perfect control, he, starts
the ball far to the left side of the course
and it always comes around in the mid
die of the fairway. He is a deadly put
ter, and a 6-footer to him is like q
footer to any one else. With this cult
waited and intentional slice, his never
say-die spirit and his deadly putting he
is one of the hardest men to beat al
| Washington.

SHORE IN NET FINAL
In MARYLAND EVENT

Frank Shore was to meet Billy Jacobs
today for the Maryland State Junior
net title on the Mount Washington
courts, Baltimore, today. having upset
calculations by eliminating Henry Cla-
baugh. defending title-holder, yester-
day, 81, 6-3.
Shore was the only out-of-town PLAYER
to be seeded in the event.
Shore chopped steadily through Ga
baughs defense, forcing the latter into
errors by his well-placed shots. Ga
baugh has hard-driving game with
more place than Shore. but could nos
match him in consistency.
Jacobs eliminated Aaron Miller. 6-3,
Go in his advance to the title round.
Shores victory came as surprise not
only because he was playing the cham
pion, but because he already had SUI
fered defeated at Clabaugh's HANDS this
season, the Oriole Junior having scored
over him at Norfolk.
