has the distinction of holding the
season course record even for a
short time. But that honor today be-
longs to Dorie G. Gruver, affable and
straight shooting members Of the board
of governors of the Washington Golf
and Country Club, who is the only man
among the clubs membership who has
scored as low as 70 this year.
Many others have been around the rs
mark under the Winter rules at present
in force, but according to Brick
Wood, the assistant pro, not even Dave
Thomson, the club pro, has not scored
70, although he has had two 74s.
Gruver normally is an 81 or 81 player,
seldom drops into the 70s and more
often is around "a or 85. But on this
record setting round he found every
thing going perfectly, his iron shots
going straight for the pin, his tee shots
booming down the middle of the fair
ways and his puts dropping in the
middle of the cup without any hesita-
ton.
He started off by missing 1O-footer
for a 8 at the first hole, missed another
10-footer for a deuce at the second
hole and holed 15-footer for birdie
at the difficult third. A followed
at the fourth, where his tee shot went
into the rough at the right and his
second shot hit tree, but he made up
the error with another birdie at the
fifth. The upshot of the nine was that
he was out in So, which is one more
than par, mark he never before had
attained.
Coming back he started right in with
another birdie at the eleventh, where a
lO-foot putt dropped for a deuce. But
he took 6 on the fifteenth and he
finished the last nine in 81 strokes, two
season for the Washington layout.
Gruver'S score was not due alone to
remarkable putting. however, for he
had 80. Had his putting been eXcep-
tional, he might have gotten around
In 70 or better.
And then to show that that round
was not fluke, he engaged his peren-
NAL rival-V G. Dickey-yesterday
afternoon and pounded out another
SO for the first nine holes. Dickey
had dropped a remark that he wanted
to look at some of this inspired golf he
had heard Gruver was shooting, and he
paid scalper's prices for gallery seat
to watch the exhibition. Gruver now
is of Dickeys list for while. until

Father Mcguire stressed the ire
mendous harm done to organized

Green said he and his associates
we're pledged to the work Of driv-
ing out the racketeers who move
under the garb Of trade unionism."
Recites Chicago Case
Il was informed on one occasion
in the city Of Chicago" he related,
that an outstanding individual
charged with being a racketeer had
sought control of one Of our federal
unions, and when that fact was
brought to my attention we de-
manded his resignation. When he
refused to resign We revoked the
charter of the local union and rec
ognized it again without his being
q member.

la case was brought to my attention
and We pursued the same policy.
That is the well-known, well-recog-
nized policy of the American Fed
