But the real rub comes as to
what to do with the unmarked

have no recorded owner. There are
plenty OF them driven onto the VIII

there isn't any doubt that Michel.

the benehciaries of the hooks and

There are two alternatives open
to the Washington golfers. Either
they must keep their golf balls of

one OF the few assets of which
the ring can boast but he doesn't think
so himself, and there are thousands Of
the faithful who can scarcely believe
it is true.

But those who saw the Fleet Phan-
tom Of Philly slow to a walk against
Roughhouse King Levinsky in Madison
Square Garden last night, unable to
evade wild rights and punches that
floored him three times, went home
wondering If Tommy hasn't stumbled
finally down grade.
Loughran, possessed Of defense that
is superb, the finest boxing skill of the
present generation of heavyweights,
came back once before.
Two years ago, after he had forsaken
his light-heavyweight crown to try to
battle the bigger fellows with his speed
and deftness, Tommy was knocked out
in three rounds by Jack Sharkey in the
Yankee Stadium.

scored on any Of the short holes of

full shot with long iron. The seven

only one Shotter on the layout which
can be played with a pitching iron.

par As, although all of them are over
450 yards in length. The par of the
layout was reduced to 10. But the
real length of the course comes on the
twelfth and thirteenth holes, with the
latter the longest on the course,
stretching out to a distance of 53l
yards.
Prior to the open tourney the green
never had been reached in two shots
on the thirteenth hole until Tommy
Armour put together pair of hefty
wooden club shots and holed the putt
for the only eagle 3 ever recorded on
the hole.
During the open tourney, also, the
twelfth hole was made in 8 for the
first time by Joe Palunbo. The
twelfth is 488 yards In length, with
water hazard in front Of the green
The eighteenth had never been done in

The second nine, designed by AL
Houghton and Don Chamberlain, was
opened for play on October l this year

Strangely enough neither the fifteenth

NATIONAL LEAGUE
GOES ON PAY DIET
Only loW-SaIaried Young
Players Are to Escape
Substantial Cuts.

n IEW YORK, December lex.
N cept for extraordinary case.
among the young players, such
as Pepper Martin, who ha'
been assured a substantial raise by hi
employers, the National League base
ball policy calls for general revision Of
the pay roll downward for 1882.
The magnates are agreed on the gen.
eral program Of retrenchment, Presi-
dent John A. Heydler declared today
but they are handling their own affairs
independently and as the circumstances
may dictate.
ANY exceptions to this policy
Heydler said, naturally concern young
players, like Martin, who have come
along sensationally. They start In at
small salaries. Naturally, their per-
formances are being considered by
club owners in making out next years
contracts. They will be fairly dealt
with.
"On the other hapd, many salaries
have shot upward as result Of better
times. Some are entirely out of pro-
portion. In the general program OF
readjustment these will be graded
downward as a matter Of good bust
ness and common sense"
CPEAKING OF Pepper Martin, the
- president of the world champion
St. Louis club, Sam Breadon, an
ticipates no trouble coming to terms
In town on his way to the Bahamas
for a months vacation, Breadon said
today
Martin Is not yet signed. We
haven't yet sent him a contract, but
he will get a raise, Of course. He Is
not the troublesome type of player
I don't expect any difficulty signing
him or the rest Of the Cardinals"
DREADON is willing to consider g
- good deal for Hack Wilson, but he
made 1t clear the former Chicago
Cub home-run champion is mot on the
bargain counter"
At least three clubs, probably Brook
lyn, Cincinnati and Boston, have had
some negotiations with the Cardinals
in which Wilson's name has been men
toned, but Breadon said he has yet
to hear an acceptable proposal.
I'VE might have pitcher or two
to trade also" Breadon said I'VE
have three great young pitchers coming
up in Dizzy Dean, Ray Starr and Tex
Carleton. am confident at least two
will make the grade.
That's the big reason why We were
willing to let Burleigh Grimes go to
Chicago in the Wilson deal. 1t helped
cut down the pay roll, Of course, but
we have reached a point where we
have to make room for younger players
who are ripe for the big league"

Straight Off Tee
CALVERT DICKEY, "the man
who never gives up" Is on a
scoring rampage again. In

many ways one OF the most
remarkable golfers about Washington,
player lacking in style and a good
swing, Dickey has turned in some re-
markable rounds over the Washington
course, where he plays every day. Re
Gently he played the first nine holes
IN exactly par, nine of EN- in row,
then played the last nine in SO for a
IA. But Henry D. Nicholson, the Wash
tngton club champion, got hot" and by
holing three lengthy puts, played the
last nine in 35 in the same match.
Dickeys scoring ability over the
Washington course shows what can be
done with a grooved swing, even though
IT may not be of the orthodox variety.
He plays every day, knows all the
angles of the Washington course, and
all in all, Is one Of the first half dozen
golfers at Washington, even though he
has not taken lesson and appears as
D duf1er when he steps up to the ball.
He uses the base ball grip with
both hands around the shaft and has
remarkable control with this unortho-
hox method.

n George Diffenbaugh as profess
sional at Indian Spring has not

baugh has been caddie master and as
Bistant pro at the club for the past

withstanding his diminutive stature.
What are the odds against a hole
In one? Don Bemish, professional! at
the Newark Country Club, has figured
out that at his club the odds are 10000
to l against an ace from the tee on
any of the short holes He has fig
ured out that 10000 balls were driven
from the tee at the sixth hole at
Newark during the year and only two
found the bottom of the cup.
On holes like the sixteenth at Con-
eressional, where seven aces have been
recorded. and the eleventh at Wash
angton, where a similar number of ones
have been listed, the odds would prob
ably be less than 10000 to /, but never
the less they would be high.

DANDRUFF
A Sure Way to End 1t

z
There Is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely,
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, ordi-
nary liquid aryon; apply it at night
when retiring: use enough TO moisten
the scalp and rub 1t in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and two
or three more applications will COM
plstely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it,
no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky an d
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store and four ounces is all you
will need. This simple remedy never
fails. Advertisement.
