und-the-world flyers, attempted
nonstop Pacific flights, and the Lind
bergh vacation tour have shifted the
eyes of the aviation world toward the
North Pacific Ocean and the Boring
Sea. Many formerly obscure outposts
of civilization, mentioned principally in
Government reports and pilot charts,
have aspired to front page headlines.
One of these is st. Paul Island, in the
Bering Sea, which has become a news
relay point concerning weather condi-
tons, progress of flights, and commu-
nications with possible rescue steamers.

Recovery Of the Pribilof Islands seal

landed on st. Paul Island in 1885 he
found no human life, but millions of
seals. He was followed by Russians
and later by natives who slaughtered
the big animals wholesale for their
skins
when the islands were taken over
by the United States In 1868 the herds
were estimated at 100000 seals. But
under the early years of American rule
the helpless beasts diminished at an
even more rapid pace than under the
Russians, until only some 100000 re-

District Golf Title Tourney
Carded Early in September

Clyde B. Asher, Columbia; second vice
president, Robert Stead, jr., Chevy
Chase; secretary-treasurer, DR.. William
C. Barr, Columbia. The officers with
the following constitute the Executive
Committee: DR.. B. L. Taylor, Stelnem
andSDr. James T. McClenahan.
Something very close to a world rec
ord for accurate putting has just been
set over the course of the Columbia
Country Club by John Merritt, one Of
the leading golfers of the club. Playing
So holes in one day, Merritt accom-
plisfed the feat of getting down in one
putt on "a Of the SO greens, and only
had 48 puts for the entire distance.
Whether this record has been beaten
is not known, but such mark Is as
tonishingly good.
Merritt played yesterday with Tommy
Bones, Walter P. Skinker and Fred Nc
Leod, and again continued his putting
rampage, having no fewer than eight
one-putt green's. Bones was too hot for
the balance of the foursome yesterday,
getting around Columbia in ~ strokes,
notwithstanding the high wind, and
putting very well himself. He played
the last nine holes in SO strokes, with
a on the seventeenth. which is par
hole these days, played to temporary
green on the fiat between the ditch and
the hill on which the regular green
stands.

-HE District amateur golf cham
pionship will be played either
at the Chevy Chase Club or the
Congressional Country Club on
september 10 and IL, one Of the earliest
dates ever set for the local simon pure
classic. The uncertainty as 70 the place
arises from the fact that several major
changes will be made in the course OF
the Chevy Chase Club, If the recon-
mendations of the Golf Committee are
Endorsed by the board of governors.
AS stated by Robert Stead, jr., chair
man of the Golf Committee, these
changes would involve the sixth and
ninth holes to such degree that the
holes probably will not be In condltlon
for the playing of such an important
event as the District championship.
The ninth green will be entirely rebuilt
and will be raised above the Level OF
the fairway, Stead announced, and IN
addition will be retrapped IN 1ront ano
at the sides. He did not reveal Just
how the sixth hole will be changed, but
indicated It will not be in condition
for the playing of championship IN
September.
stead said the Chevy Chase Club
will be glad to hold the District event
this wear, but he doubts whether the
course will be in shape at the time
proposed for the competition. Win
this issue before them, delegates TO the
annual meeting of the District Golf AS
ISOLATION gathered last night at the
RACQUET Club voted to hold the tourney
at Congressional If Chevy Chase can
not hold it. The tourney was held at
Congressional two years ago ana was
won by Miller B. STEVENSON. The course
of the Burning Tree Club also was Of
fered by Walter r. Tuckerman, but the
championship was held there last year
and the delegates voted against holding
it over the same course in two conSecu-
tive years. Not since 1921 has the Dis
trict tourney been played at Chevy
Chase.
Two propositions which may have in
them the germ of some future action
were laid before the meeting last night.
Tuckerman suggests that there may be
too many golf clubs about the Capital
and that merger of some Of them might
be a good thing for the clubs involved
in view of mounting expenses. No ac-
ton was taken on his suggestion. Then
D. L. Thomson of Manor, newly elected
president of the association, said the
organization should maintain black
list" of floating members, who do not
pay their obligations at clubs and join
other clubs. The association did not
take action on this matter either, but
in both cases the idea may be carried
forward for future use.
The association approved the sugges-
tion of DR.. Bruce L. Taylor, retiring
president, that senior tournament be
held end left the place and date to the
Executive Committee.
The junior championship goes to the
Manor Club, to be played on September
2. The association ratified all the tour
nament dates as previously announced
in The Star, beginning with the WASH
ington Golf and Country Club tourney,
on April %, 20, 80 and May /.

KIRELENKO TO DECIDE
SHIKAT'S MAT RATING
Bout at Auditorium Thursday to
Tell Whether Dick Deserves
Another Londos Match.

Whether Dick Shikat, ex-champ and
former German naval officer, still rates
in tie rassling racket will be deter
mined Thursday at the weekly rumpus
at the Auditorium.
Shikat, since losing the alleged crown
to Jim Londos last Summer, has
puzzled fans by his performances
very bad. It's no secret that Shikat
wants another crack at Londos, but
since he dropped the supposed title none
has been Forthcoming, Mcmillan, Pojello
and others crowding him out
Shikat, in tackling Matros Kirelenko,
thursday meets an opponent who has
twice been beaten by Londos, but who
made Dick look very bad couple OF
weeks ago here. Matros has been get
ting better as time goes on. Shikat and
the ex-Cossack have wrestled three
times, Dick winning the first; the sec
ond going two hours to draw, and
Matros mussing Dick up in 30-mtn-
ute draw the last time.
Shikats feelings are hurt by his IN
ability to get another match with
Londos. If Mcmillan, never the holder
of the near-title, can get five bouts
with Jim, Shikat thinks he rates re-
turn.
Promoter Joe Turner, however. has
made known his intention of trying TO
match Shikat and LondoS here in
washington at the ball park during the
Summer-that is, providing Dick gets
by Kirelenko and some more to boot.
A powerful bout looms in the George
Hagen-Milo Steinborn meeting. Rudy
Dusek is taking on Chief Son Jennings,
newcomer, in another bout. Billy
Bartush tackles George Tragos, and
Babe Caddocoks opposes Ivan Vakturon.

CLUB IS STRONGER,
STREET DECLARES
His Players Are Confident
They Have Stuff to Win
Again in Old Loop.
BY ALAN GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

HRADENTON, Fla, March 10.
* The st. Louis Cardinals,
- champions of the National
League, have acquired the
winning habit and expect to
keep it.
They have won three remnants
in five years, they have developed
the most successful farm system
possessed by any club in the big
leagues, and today they were en-
joying the satisfaction of having
taken two out of three exhibition
games from the world champion
Athletics in Miami and Fort Myers
as stimulant to the Spring train
ing process.
, From their grizzled pilot, Charles
(Gabby) Street, down to the rawest
rookie product of their famous chain
store" system, the Cardinals believe they
have the stuff to win the National
League race again.
Sees Club Greater.
II knew we had a great club a year
ago and it fulfilled my expectations.
said Street. II think we have a greater
team this year.
We've got some outstanding stars,
but it's the combination as a whole
and the clubs wonderful spirit that
makes me feel confident. We've got
one of the greatest all-around young
Y1IaVarC in mn in
at short With Frank Frisch at second,
the combination has no equal, in my
opinion.
I'VE have wonderful pitching to ex-
pect from such men as Rhem, Haines,
Grimes, Hallahan and johnson of last
years regulars. I do not hesitate to
say We expect great things from two
newcomers, Dizzy" Dean, who came UP
from Houston late last year, and Paul
Derringer from Rochester. Both have
the stuff.
Ready for Battle.
What more could we ask? I know
the race will be tough all the way. We
are up against the strongest kind of
opposition, but am satisfied We can
meet it."
Most of Streets worries are due to
an embarrassment of riches. If the
equally promising Derringer fulfill ex-
pectations, Street may not have enough
work to go around. As he explained
himself. he may be in the predica-
ment of having seven or eight start
ers," although johnson and HaineS
probably will be assigned to special
duty"
Jimmy Wilson, regarded as the most
reliable all-around back-stop in the
league by Street, will do most Of the
catching, supported by young Gus
Mancuso and the veteran Cuban, Mike
Gonzales, who is as spry as any rookie,
despite his 80 years.
Street expects Jim Bottomley to
stage a big comeback at first, to the
confusion of Sunny Jim's critics, but
there Is a capable understudy avail
able in Jimmy Collins, a sensation
with Rochester last year and slug
ger. Frisch, Colbert and Sparky
Adams, at third, round out the infield.
The outfleld probably will remain
the same with Chief Hafey in
left, TAYLOR Douthit in center and
George Watkins and Ray Blades alter
mating in right. Here again, Street
has some fine newcomers, including
Joel Hunt, ex-foot ball star; Pepper
Martin, who hit 1863 with Rochester
last year, and Al Moore from Buffalo.
