BOASTS 14CLUBS,
| FIVE PUBLIC LINKS
Private Layouts in Montgom-

BY w. r. McCALLUM.

XX WASHINGTON is one of the
Nv finest golf1ng cities In
Y Y the United States. With
a population Of approx
mately 650,000, scattered in the So
called metropolitan area within a
circle of 20 miles from the White
House, the National Capital sup
ports IA recognized golf clubs of
good standing and S public golf
courses. The number of golfers in
this area is approximately 5000,
counting those who belong to golf
clubs and who play on the public
courses at somewhat regular in
tervals. If we add those who play
golf only occasionally the number
of links devotees about the Capital
probably numbers 1000 or 5000
persons.
Our neighboring City OF Baltimore
supports only nine recognized golf clubs
and three large municipal golf courses.
Notwithstanding its population of ap-
proximately 100000 (probably a mil
lion or more If the area around Balti-
more Is includeO, the neighboring city
in Maryland does not have the same
interest in golf nor as large number
OF golf clubs as that area in MARYLAND
and Virginia bordering on the District
Of Columbia. Montgomery County alone,
in the so-called country club district .
has more golf clubs than are sup
ported by the entire City Of Baltimore.
That county, lying north and west of
the National Capital, has In it 10 golf
clubs, all going" concerns and all doing
well. The nearby counties Of Arlington
and Alexandria in Virginia have in
them three large golf clubs, while
Prince Georges County In Maryland,
east of Washington, supports one large
club.
THE National Capital literally Is the
l. hub of wheel OF golf clubs, the
core from which golfers 20 each
day to enjoy the game en- the many
famous courses scattered throughout
the nearby country In many respects
1t is one Of the biggest golfing cities in
the country, in proportion to its size,
for even New York and Chicago, these
golf-hungry cities Of major size, do not
support more golf clubs in proportion to
the size of their population than does
the National Capital Cook County in
Illinois, in which Chicago is located,
has some 80 golf clubs within its bor-
ders, with city of more than 1000 900
population to draw from, while New
York, with population Of about 7,000,-
600, supports some $50 golf clubs located
IN nearby Westchester County, nearby
New Jersey and Connecticut just across
the New York State line
As market for golf equipment
manufacturers have come to realize
that Washington, with its closely knit
population center and its golf clubs To-
Gated only a short distance from the
heart OF the city, is desirable place
in which to sell golf clubs and acces-
sories. The clubs scattered about the
city within a radius Of few miles of
the White House are Chevy Chase,
Columbia, Congressional, Burning Tree,
Bannockburn, Indian Spring, Beaver
Dam, Washington, Manor, Woodmont

IN GRAVE CONDITION
Szymanski's Relapse Is Cause Of
Deep Concern-School Denies
Abolition of Game.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 9.-John
Szymanski, 20-year-old Fordham Uni
versity foot ball player, was still in
critical condition in Fordham Hospital
today from injuries suffered in the
Fordham- -Bucknel game November 81.
Szymanski whose left side was para
lyzed by an unexplained injury, was
showing steady improvement until Mon
Gay afternoon, when he suffered re-
lapse. Since then his condition has
been the cause of grave concern to at
tending physicians. Szymanski's home
is in New Britain, Conn.
The Bucknell game already has cost
the life of one Fordham player. Cor
nelius Murphy, whom Szymanski re-
heved at a tackle position, died last
week, after he had been believed out Of
danger.
Reports that Fordham was consider
ing the abolition of foot ball brought an
outright denial from an otflcial spokes-
man for the school last night.

Cadets and Mddies have been corralled
to continue venerable tradition, and
Tennessee, which has confined its
praiseworthy play to Dixie territory,
was persuaded to fare afield, with
happy results for both northern fans
and volunteer prestige.
Notice should also be taken of the
subtle progress being made toward the
goal Of abolishing ties In foot ball,
based on the generally satisfactory re-
action to officials verdicts in the bowl
round-robin. The die-hards are far
from routed, but nothing has the pow
er Of sound demonstration.
The art of drop-kicaaing may have
been hit when the goal posts were
moved back, but kicking the ball is
still a potent factor of the game. And

that the latter were holding their

Pessimism at the league council

upon widespread impression that

up the leagues program of pacifica-

Fear 'Double.cross'
Reports of conversations at Wash

Japanese ambassador, appeared to
have aroused fears that the United

short-circuiting the councils efforts
to induce withdrawal of Japanese
troops from Manchuria.
At the same time Kenkichi Yosh-

troops without certain guarantees
which it is believed China is unwill-

It was understood the members of
