CHRISTMAS RETAIL
TRADE FAVORABLE
Preliminary Reports Show
Merchants Were Rewarded
for Sales Efforts.
BY J. c. RoYLE.

AS usual the Christmas holiday
acted as a check to industrial activity.
and to nearly all lines of endeavor OUT
side transportation and retail trade.
The results of the efforts of retail
merchants, however. were much more
satisfactory than had been hoped for,
according to preliminary reports. The
merchants were not content to rest on
their laurels, but started post Christmas
sales this morning with shelves and
counters redreSsed and new lines of COM
modities emphasized. The demand for
exchanges seems likely to be smaller
than in normal years.
White Sales Recorders. St'
The wholesale merchants turned
their attention to possible recorders of
sales goods, eSpeciallythe January white
sales offerings. The main lines of such
goods have been bought for some time,
but they were ordered in small guam
titles, and if the retail pace can be
maintained, recorders are sure to come,
Although industrial plants are not
likely to get back on regular schedules
until about January S, the outlook has
become undeniably brighter, according
to manufacturing executives. Some sec

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
by W. r. McCALLUM-

- ONE members Of Indian Spring
are wondering just what Is meant
by the imposing mound that is
going up between the tenth and
eleventh fairways, which Is due within
a few days to be converted into a
bunker of depth. Muttered statements
have been heard at the club, asking
whether the implication is that the
members are not able to get out OF
bunkers satisfactorily, and by practic-
ing in the new bunker will so improve
their bunker technique that they Will
be enabled to save strokes when they
get on the course.
Whatever the reason, the fact Is that
Indian Spring, within short time, Is
to be the only club around WaShlng-
ton which will have q practice bunker
where the members may spend their
leisure moments digging golf balls out
of sand and knocking them toward the
practice putting green. The green mas
been there for some time, ana now tne
bunker has been dug right up against
the putting surface.
Gene Golf of the washington Go1
and Country Club contends that the
from bunkerS is the hanu-maShle
method, and, in the event that fails,
another method is the use of those long
wooden tees, which are sometimes called
Florida tees because OF the length OF
the ShankS.
The hand-mashie method, be it
known, Is that elusive shot by which
q player, hidden from his golf COM
panions by the mound Of the bunker,
T. Nf with
club held in one hand, while with the
other he gently losses the ball out
toward the putting green. This method
Is said to be infallible.
George w. McCarter, chairman OF the
Indian Spring golf committee, believes
that proper bunker technique consists
not only of knocking the ball out with
the blade Of the golf club, but also OF
smoothing the sand down after the ball
has been dubbed out of the trap. That
may be the reason for the new bunker
at indian Spring. In any event, Indian
Spring is today the only local golf club
with a bunker where shots may be prac-
ticed without disturbing any one else on
the course. Furthermore, the bunker is
so close to the practice green that the
shots played from the bunker may be
made to act just as they do on the
course, which usually Is, as Harry CASH
man describes them, 100 per cent luck.

Trojans Haze a Chance
To Climax Great Year

CHICAGO, June S (C.P.A.)-
~ Southern California can, by
winning the N. c. A. A. track
and field meet at Stagg Field, here,
Saturday establish one of the out
standing athletic records Of the
1929-1930 collegiate season.
In foot ball the Trojans were rec
ognized as the strongest team on
the Pacific Coast and one of the very
best in the country when they IN
ished heavy season with victories
over Carnegie Tech and Pittsburgh.
Sam Barry coached the Southern
California basket ball team to a
Conference championship and only
last week the Trojan track men
captured the I. C. 4 A. title at Har-
ward. A victory for Dean Cromwell's
troupe at Stage Field would put
Southern California solidly on the
pinnacle of athletic fame.
The Trojans will find 1t more dim
cult to win the N. C. A. A. title
without which they scarcely can be
recognized as national track cham
pionS-than the /. C. 4 A. honors.
More than 10 colleges and UNIVERSE
ties will be represented in the ma
tional meet and there will be such
q general division of points that no
team will be an outstanding favorite
before the games.

The tourney starts with an 1S-hole
qualification round on Monday morn

play rounds on Tuesday, Wednesday,

an 80 to add to his 157 total for the

while those of Hitz were 78-83-76.
Richard p. Davidson had 74-85-83
for a total Of 242. Other contestants
in the tourney are Emmons S. Smith

BY CRANTLAND RICE

when he arrives at Hoylake, where he
met his first British disaster and finds
such competitors as Horton Smith, Mac
Smith, Leo Deigel and the best OF the
British contingent. a
In addition to all this he has a strong
leading toward medal play and the ~
hole route.
The strain for him is much lighter,
although it will be hard enough. In
was to win at st. Andrews. With that
achieved his next thought was a shot
at all the titles left, to win as many
as he could, and IL is an easy bet that
by next week he will be raring to 60
again. He will find even harder oppo-
sition at Hoylake than he found in Scot
land, but 1t will not be as grueling

George VOigt's Record.
MO golfer ever made q finer first
IN invasion record than George Voigt
did on this trip. Most OF the stars
first tours Of Scotland and England.
This applies to Evans, Travers, Ouimet
and Jones, to mention only few.
Voigt figured in two victories in the
Walker Cup matches at Sandwich, play
ing brilliantly on both occasions. At
st. Andrews he went to the semi-final
round. He won eight of the nine
matches abroad, and 1t took Bobby
Jones to beat him by one hole where at
one time he had the champion almost
bottled up. Even at the finish he still
had a 5-foot putt to carry the match
along.
Voigt Is one Of the star amateurs Of
the game, probably the second best. At
Pebble Beach last September he carried
Jimmy Johnston to the thirty ninth
green, and Johnston had q terrific
struggle to keep even for SO holes.
George Is not a mighty hitter, but there
are few who can keep as straight along
the right line, and there are few who
can handle a putter any more effective
", day in and day out.
In addition to this Voigt is q cool,
level headed, hard fighting match
player whose only handicap is lack OF
physical power since he barely weighs
140 pounds and can have little In re-
serve. His hands and wrists are small,
but the ease and smoothneSs of his swing
make up for any lack on the physical
