SEARCHLIGHT, New, Dec. II
0N.SD How the simple life
on the desert brought the roses
back to her cheeks and restored
her health, physically and men
tally, was told today by Clara
Bow on the eve of her trip to
Hollywood to make a comeback
in films. Clara said:
''It was a miraculous rest
cure that 1 took.
when 1 first came to Rex
Bells ranch, I was broken
down and i'll and didn't care
whether I live - died.
But look at me now. Pm
right in the pink"
Sleep, regular exercise, good
wholesome food, and peace of
mind-these we're the ingredients
of the "reSt cure"
"AlI 1 did at first on the
ranch was to sleep. I'd sleep
10, IL, IA hours a day. No one
. could wake me up-nO one
wanted to-"
"They just let me sleep and
believe me, / did.
Sometimes at night the
wind would howl across the
desert and I'd yell for a
blanket. But even at that I'd
only be half awake with one
eye open. Sleep was remedy
number one.
Remedy number two was
exerciSe-hOrseback riding and
hiking.

Even on those cold days the latter part
Of last week few golfers braved the
biting winds and the frozen greens at
Columbia.
Where Columbia last Sunday had 17s
players out on one Of the finest days Of
the Winter, 1853 players went over the
Washington Golf and Country Club
layout, and the other courses were
thronged with golfers. It does not take
much to bring out your true golfer If
the course is playable.

n tween v. Calvert Dickey and Dore

Of how many strokes he may be In ar
rears. He holds that something may
happen to the other fellow, as 1t prob
ably has happened to him, and so he
plays every stroke with care, regardless
Of whether he IS three or four strokes
behind his opponent.
Dickey and Gruver have had some
great battles. Both are good golfers and
they fight to the last stroke for the de-
cision. regardless Of how the foursome

proceeded to scuff his driver. Fighting
back to retrieve his seemingly lost hope,
Dickey finally got on the green IS feet
from the hole in 5, while Gruver, who
was ! up, reached a spot 8 feet from
the pin in a like number Of strokes.
Well, you know the rest. Dickey holed
and Gruver missed and "the gent who

golf match because he wouldn't give up.

w WHAT is the hardest hole on
M which to score a birdie
about Washington? Some
folks might say that holes
like the fifth and eighteenth at Indian
Spring, the sixth and eleventh at Co
lumbia, the seventh at Congressional
and the fourth at Burning Tree are
about the hardest to play in sub-par
figures, but it seems to a good many
people that the hardest birdie hole
around the Capital Is also one-shotter
on which the par is 8. Therefore for
Elwood Poore, one Of Bob Barnett's
assistants in the Chevy Chase golf
shop, to score an eagle ace on what
many people regard as the hardest
birdie hole around the Capital is con-
siderable Of feat.
Poore was playing with William M.
Guthrie few days ago, before the
ground was completely frozen, and tax
ing wooden club from his bag at the
ninth he took mighty cut at the ball.
Sandy Douglas, the Chevy Chase cad
dymaster, was standing at the green
and saw the ball hit In front Of the
putting surface, take couple Of hops
and roll in the hole for a one. There
may have bean other aces made on this
hole, but they are not recorded in the
memory Of the boys who are holding
down the fort In the golf shop while
Barnett is In Florida.
The hole measures $50 yards from
the white or middle makers and the
distance itself is something to cover
these days with the big ball and its
comparatively short flight and roll in
the present heavy atmosphere. The
green is big enough, but it is quite a
stunt to make the green on this easy
looking ninth just the same. Par Is 8,
and it is quite probable that there are
fewer deuces made on this hole than
on any other 1-shot, par-3 hole around
Washington.
Next Spring the golfers Of the Chevy
Chase Club will not find the tenth
hole such an easy affair as it has been

NO BASE BALL WAR
WHEN CAMPS OPEN
Minors Draft Fight Will Be
Ended Before Majors
Start Training.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

w YHEN the major league clubs
M get into their Spring train
ing camps next month, and
perhaps before then, the
customary exchanges Of players VIII be
going on between them and the three
class IA leagues. This can be pre-"
dicted today on reliable authority, for
the base ball war" that some folks
thought was brewing this Winter simply
won't come OF.
The American Association has ac-
cepted the new national agreement, not
unanimously, but by a majority vote.
and the Pacific Coast League has voted
fayorably upon it, with some provisos
that will not be accepted by the majors;
Almost Of necessity the international
League will be forced to follow the LEAD
Of the other two double A leagues. II
would be difficult to run on an inde-
pendent basis, although that could nap.

vive and to recruit players.
Blues, Colonies Balk.
The vote In the American Association,
which showed Kansas City and Louis
vile opposed TO the new agreement,
confirmed the stand that Louisville has
taken at all times ia regard to the draft.
This club has been fortunate IN having
as its guide one who could pick up good
sandlot players and one who saw the
possibilities in younger major league
players who were not wanted by their
owners, took them and developed them
and then sold them back at a profit.
The American Association has always
been in close cooperation with the
major leagues in regard to players, &C
cepting them on option freely, show
ing skill In conducting well fought races
for the championship, and yet not hav-
ing much player strength left at the
end Of each season because so many
men have had to be returned to the
big leagues.
Ints Split Evenly.
The International League has been
split on the new national agreement,
opposed. Some clubs in this league
have been conducted on the same basis
as those Of the American Association.
They have obtained players from the
majors instead Of looking to the open
field. Few have tried developing local
talent. It Is these clubs so closely al
lied with major league clubs that have
been in favor Of the new national agree
ment.
Newark, Jersey City, Baltimore and
Montreal have been In the independent
group. Jersey City, however, is said
to be In favor Of the new agreement
under its new owner.
Even II the double A leagues did not
fall into line, there would not be any
base ball war" There has been a
wholly wrong idea In some sections In
regard to this The relations between
majors and minors would be exactly
as they had been before, except that
between the majors and the double A
leagues. The majors would not be
able to draft players from double A
and the latter would not be able to OBJ
tain players on option.
