STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM-

Barnett and Larkin, between them,
held during most of the past year the
two biggest professional titles in this
section. Barnett held and still holds,
the professional match-play title, while
Larkin held the Maryland State open.
He was unable to defend his title few
weeks ago because of an injured wrist.
The professional match-play champion
ship has not been played this year, and
probably will not be played, which
leaves Barnett still the champion. Bar
nett came to the Chevy Chase Club in
1928, succeeding Orrin A. Terry in the
professional berth. Barnett has been
quite successful as playing profess
sional, and is as strong golfer as any
man in the Middle Atlantic section.
For three rounds he led in the recent
Midatlantic open, only to slump on the
last round and finish far down the list
in the tourney won by Gene Sarazen.
Sandy Armour is back from Pine

the way his brother Tommy is hitting
the golf ball. He is knocking that ball

that don't see how it is possible for
him to score over 70 on any golf course.
He is longer than ever from the tee
and you know Tommy never was a
short hitter. And he hasn't lost a bit
of that accuracy with the iron clubs.
Billy Burke nosed him out at Pine
hurst by finishing 2, 3, 3, on holes
which are par 3, S, 3, 4. He picked up
five shots on Tom at the last 3 holes.

Primers when the first block of
the National Boy and Junior
Tournament opens here tomorrow
afternoon on local drives. This is the
report submitted by virtually every
alley manager, from downtown en-
poriums to the suburbs.
On the other hand, George Isemann,
who returned from Baltimore yester-
day, reports that in the Oriole city,
juniors outnumber the boy bowlers.
George, as well as the alley man
ayers, is puzzled over this reversal in
the nearby cities, but is not worried.
Entries. both in Washington and Balti-
more, indicate large number in both
classes, with records to fall ere the
bowlers finish.
While the number of entry blanks
returned has been gratifying, not half
given out has come back signed, and
those which have been returned were
mostly boy bowlers.
Probably the juniors are holding out
until the last minute" was George Ise-
mann's explanation.
Tomorrow the future Campbells,
Wolstenholmes, Rosenbergs and Won
Dreeles roll of the first three games,
the BOYS class, which is composed of
youngsters who are not yet Is years
old, shooting in the afternoon at 3
o'clock, and the juniors not yet 10 years
old bowling at 1880 o'clock in the
evening.
The following Saturday, November %.
the last three games will be rolled and
total pins added. Each alley winner
then meets on the alleys drawing the
most entries to decide the city cham
pion who advances to the national
finals.
Lawrence and Randolph Pugh,
brothers, are being banked on by Henry
Hiser at Bethesda, who may get the
city eliminations at his alley.
Lawrence, is years old, is entered IN
the boy class, but also is expected TO
roll with the juniors. Randolph is the
outstanding Bethesda junior.
Oscar Hiser is up with his brother,
Henry, in the matter of getting entries.
Both Hisers have donated National
Duckpin Bowling Congress medals to go
to winners of boy and Junior classes at
Bethesda and Hyattsville.

Sandy says the U. S. G. A. may be
thinking of barring the sand wedge,
but judging from its popularity among
the pros, the discussed club Tor
use in the sand has come to stay. Orig
inally the sand wedge was put out by
only one company and this Detroit out
ut reaped a harvest with the early sale
of the club, priced at the preposterous
figure of $12 per copy. But several
makers have begun manufacturing the
club, along much the same principle,
and at least four manufacturers now
sell it. The sand wedge first came into
prominence at the amateur champion
ship at Merton, where many of the COM
petitors carried one in their bags.
At that time the United States Golf
Association had no announcement to
make regarding the club except that
they were watching it, and It's results,
although one official said the committee
on implements might bar the club on
the ground that purchase of a sand
wedge was equivalent to purchase of a
golf stroke. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the club is the finest thing ever in

TIVE golf shop at the Chevy Chase
Club is going to lack two of its
most important members this
Winter.
Bob Barnett, the popular pro, who
holds the match play championship
of the Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association, announced today
that he has secured a Winter post with
the Indian Greek Golf Club of Miami
Beach, Fla, and will take up his new
duties at Miami Beach December /.
The Board of Governors of the Chevy
Chase Club have given their consent
to Barnett's acceptance of the post.
He will be back in Washington shortly
after April l. He expects to leave the
Capital about November %.
Gene Larkin, assistant to Barnett,
who held down the professional berth
at the Lake Wales, Fla, Club last Win
ter, will again have that post and will
leave for Florida shortly after Christ

former assistants, who has been hold
ing down the professional berth at the
Rolling Green Club of Pennsylvania.
will handle the Chevy Chase golf shop
during the Winter in the absence of
Barnett and Larkin. Bill Hardy, Bar
Nets clubmaker, and Dan Burton, the
ex-caddie who has been playing so
we'll this year, will remain in the shop
during the Winter.

tically inSures the ball getting out of

whether the U. S. G. A. will legislate
against it.
Most of the professionals at Pinehurst

Armour said and played them when

did the amateurs at Merton. Meanwhile
the price does not seem to have deter

involved, why more of these are not pro-
tected by insurance.
1t is foolish and dangerous to assume,
as some have, that insurance on a life
tends to commercialize affection and
family ties. On the other hand, the
failure to take out insurance is a fla
grant disregard of family and business
responsibility.
Some persons have an understandable
aversion to insuring against their own
death, but in the case OF dependents
there is always an overbalancing need
on the other side of the case.
And death is only one Of the many
uncertainties of life, so there are many
other kinds of risks which ought to be
protected against. Here are just few
which may be taken care of by types of
policies already devised: One, loss of
income due to sickness or accident; two,
lack Of income in old age after produc-
tive years are gone: three, an educa-
tional fund for children, against the
limitations of possible poverty when
they are ready for college.
And quite aside from his responsible
ties to his family every business man
and woman is beginning to think seri-
ously of the insurance protection which
is due to his creditors and to the Or
gantzation of which he is a part.

Insurance Minus Mystery.

The unfortunate mystery about in
surance has kept great many people
from benefitting by its sound economic
value.
This has been much more true of hui
man insurance than property insurance.
In property we see the value in dollars
and cents, and the frequency of destruc-
tive fires makes us realize the danger of
loss from this hazard. Somehow we
know, too, that the insurance rates
which are paid to insurance companies
for protection against fire are in direct
proportion to the probable danger of
loss, based upon the experience with
past fires under similar conditions.
What more of us need to learn is that
human insurance in its various forms
of life, accident, health, etc.. is a strictly
business proposition. The rates are fig
ured on exactly the same principle as
property inSurance-the degree of risk
involved-they are issued to protect the
interested parties from economic uncer-
tainties,. and they can only be secured in
favor of persons who already have an
economic claim on the life to be insured.
OF course, a great deal of insurance is
taken out for sentimental reasons, but
these all have well calculated eco
nomic basis. A husband loves his wife
and wants to protect her, but when he
insures in her favor he is merely guar
anteeing a continuance Of his present
economic support.
One striking thing about insurance,
however, is that although there are eco
nomic and sentimental reasons for TAX
ing out life policies and only business
reasons for property insurance, there is
a far greater percentage of property
values covered by insurance than of life
values. One authority says that so per
cent of combustible buildings are in
sured against fire and 95 per cent of
maritime property is insured against dis
asters of the sea, while probably much
less than 10 per cent of the life values
of the Nation are protected in this way
This is one of the greatest mysteries of
insurance-with so very much economic
wealth at stake in human lives and SO
many different kinds of uncertainties

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

February 6. 1856.-Now that the pro-
longed controversy over the Speakership
has been settled and the House has at last
peen organized for business, those IN
washington interested in shaping the
presidential nominations of the three
great parties are again on the qui vlVe.
IL Is very evident that the excitement
which ragged with reference to the
Speakership is very soon to be revived
IN connection with the approaching
presidential nominations.
Inc Evening Stars political reporter
SAID today that at every turn he heard
the subject being discussed. at the Capt.
Col ana among the politicians every
Wnere IN town, generally with the great
est earnestness.
The immediate partisans of Senator
douglas OF Illinois consider him a cam
oioate Tor the Democratic nomination
az the Cincinnati convention, notwith-
SCanolng his published disclaimer. They
90 not propose to have him voted for at
tne commencement of the balloting, but
70 keep MIN in reserve "for the chances
OF deadlock" between the friends of
PRESIDENT Pierce and Mr.. Buchanan.
from the political gossip here among
democratic leaders it appears that no
otherS, except the three gentlemen
named, are expected to be urged for the
.aAAAAoOAOl al SH1ClIl1aCl next summer.
IL seems likely that there will be more
unpledged and uninstructed delegates in
tne cincinnati convention than ever be-
lore at q national convention of the
Democratic party.
The friends Of Mr.. Crittenden are
certainly the most active among the
National American party politicians
mere. He alone of his party seems to
nave In Washington a well drilled, en-
ergetlc and discreet band of advocates
ana adherentS. Mr. George Law has
none outside of the small army of pro-
1eSSlonal "drummers," who make much
noise around the Hobbies of CONGRESS
and IN the hotel corridors, but usually
effect little when the actual struggle
begins Mr.. Fillmore has also been
mentioned, but the movement for him
has gained little Roadway.
An effort is being made here to in
duce the Republican party leaders to
0lScountenance a nomination bv that
party against Mr.. Crittenden. But this
suggestion does not appear to be making
the slightest progress, except among a
lew lukeWarm Republicans.
The success of the Republicans in the
Speakership fight has inspired their
partisanS in all the non-slaye States.
and it seems certain that they will RIM
a ticket of their own this year. Gov.
Chase OF Ohio is alone mentioned here
at this time as an aspirant for this
nomination. It is understood that Mr..
Seward, the real party leader, will de-
cline to run until 1860.
