 MERCHANT MARINE
Says England Has Advantage
 Due to Bases

Washington, Dec 15 fP,-The fu- tility of hoping that the United States navy ever would equal that of Great Britain withor' a development of the merchant marine was assert ed yesterday before the house naval committee by Admiral William V, Pratt, chief of naval operations.
 Testifying that Great Britain's nu- merous naval bases would give her an advantage over the United States although the London treaty estab- lished technical parity, Pratt con- tended the question of bases was not brought up during consideration of the treaty because it would have led to such complication that an agree. ment might not have been reached.
 Britten Concerned
 But if We had an equal tonnage with Great Britain in all catcgories, those bases would give her a tre- mendous military advantage? ?' Chairman Brittcn of the committee asked
 She is a stronger sea power and always will be a stronger sea power until we get a bigger merchant ma- rine." Pratt replied.
 The committee has under consid- eration a, s134,000,000 naval build ing program.
 Pratt also said he expected the aircraft carriers Saratoga and Lex ington eventually to be displaced by smaller and more economical ships As soon as this country's buildtngs are up to the limits of the London treaty, he said, he would prefer that the Saratoga and Lexington be laid up and smaller vessels operated fo, training, the larger ships to be avail able in time of war.
 An aircraft carrier one third of the size of the Saratoga and Lexing- ton would be authorized by the bill under consideration,

 Janet Dixon. mother of Mabel and Dudley ......,...... Maude Richmond Christine Sederholm Isabel Jewell Robert Kirby ........ Franklin George Charley Post .............. James Swift Dudley Dixon is so busy doing things for other people that his own business suffers. Dog hospitals, prize fights. the Chamber of Commerce and every conceivable civic enter prise calls on Dudley for leadership and he gives until it hurts, But the day it hurt Uncle Dudley learned a valuable lesson-one that not only altered his life but the lives of his family.
 Ethelyn Dixon Church, Uncle Dudley's niece, is a singer Of ability and her mother, Mabel, is devoting all her energy - and also all Of Ethelyn's-t training for a 5000 prize contest. Five thousand dollars is also the sum that Uncle Dudley once borrowed from his sister and has never been quite able to pay back.
 By a trick Mabel so arranges things that Ethelyn wins the con- cert contest and decides to go 10 Europe with her daughter so that she may continue her studies even farther. But all unexpectedly Mabel learns that she has been counting unhatched chickens.
 Dudley's love affair with Christine Sederholm becomes intimately in volvcd with his domestic difficulties but a solution is finally found.
 Maudc Richmond, who made her initial appearance with the New York Players at the Capitol theater last night, proved a valuable acquisi- ton. As the grandmother she did a clever piece of character work and was well applauded.
 Forrest Orr, director of the com- pany, talked informally 10 the audi cncc between the first and second acts and the members of the cast circulated subscription lists on which members of the audience were asked to register their moral support of the company's decision to carry on the players after the withdrawal of the Messrs Anhalt.

Hortig Scores Unprecedented
Eagle 3 on 54O-Yard Hole

n TOT since the layout Of the
M Army, Navy and Marine Corps
Country Club was constructed
nearly two years ago has an
eagle been made on that tortuous
thirteenth hole until yesterday, when
Frank Hartig, the club professional,
looped a No. iron third shot into the
cup for the first 3 to be made on the
540-yard affair. Because of its length
and the trees that hem in the fairway
on both sides, the thirteenth is con-
sidered the most difficult par on the
course Of the service club, but Hartig
made it look easy as he smashed out a
good drive, followed 1t with a fine
brassie shot and then knocked that ball
In the hole for the eagle.
The shot that holed out was played
from spot 125 yards away from the
green, and the ball took one bounce
and ended in the cup.
1t may be that today, when the pro-
fessionals Of this sector Of the country
gather at the service club to play in
their scheduled pro-pro best ball match,
some one will put together two luSty
wallops and reach the green in 2, but
It is far more likely that Hartig's eagle
will be the only one recorded on this
hole for quite some time. The 36-hole
by the Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association, has been reduced
to SO holes and is the first tourney Of
the association to be played over the
course of the service club.
Dave Thomson, the popular little
professional Of the Washington Golf
and Country Club, picked up Tommy
Webb'S driver as the latter held it in
his hands just before he attempted to
play over the trees for the green at the
seventeenth hole, and remarked: Tom
my, see you are using Chinese
driver"
"How's that" Tommy said
"One Long Wham," Dave replied.
Dolph Elmore came into the club
house at Washington yesterday, his face
covered with a broad grin, remarking
something about bargain that turned
out to be no bargain. His merriment
caused some questions and 1t finally
developed that Elmore, o. G. Murray,
o. L. Veerhoh and A. Boiling Gait were
all set to play from the first tee. The
other three thought Gait was the weak
est of the four and agreed to toss a
coin to see who would play With Gait.
A further stipulation was that which
ever man got Gait for partner would
get / up on each nine. Elmore drew
Gait and the latter, perhaps a bit
nettled because his game was held in
such small esteem, went out and shot
himself a n, bringing home all the
bacon and causing the merriment that
Elmore showed and that Veerhof and
Murray couldn't see.
That n enabled Gait to tie for first
place in the three-day tourney held at
Washington with L. D. Underwood
The tourney was played over three days
with q minimum of two rounds to be
played, and the average Of all rounds
less handicap, to count. Gait and
Underwood tied for first place with
average of 10. Gait played with q
handicap Of Is strokes, while Under
wood had 10 strokes. E. P. Brooke had
an average of II and a handicap of
and was in third place with a net
average of II.
