POLICE
PROBE IS URGED
Representative Gibson De-
clares All Phases of Activity
Should Be Investigated.

THE investigation of the Washington
Police Department by the Department
OF Justice should not be confined
merely to a vigorous inquiry into the
present charges of brutality, but should
go thoroughly into all phases of police
tween the police and members of the
underworld, bootleggers and racketeers."
This is the point of view of Repre-
sentative Ernest w. Gibson, Republican,
of Vermont, chairman of the special
subcommittee which has been making a
systematic study of all branches of the
municipal administration Of the Ma
ticnal Capital, as given today in an
interview with The Star.
Mr.. Gibson declared that "a thorough
study of all activities Of the Police De-
partment should be made In justice to
the very large number Of honest and
efficient members of the force VINO are
a credit to their jobs and who have for
many years been serving the public
faithfully and well. 1t should also serve
to restore public confidence in the police
force of the National Capital" he says,
which should be a model for the rest
of the country"
Cites Criticism.
He pointed out that during the last
few years We have had almost con-
tinuous criticism of the Washington
police force. some of which may be
deserved. but much Of which will UNI
doubte6ly prove to be unjustif1ed. :"
From his own studies he is convinced
that IF anything is wrong it should
be disclosed so that the conditions can
be corrected, justice done to the mem
bers of the force and such a reor-
ganization made as will set the Metro
politan police force of the National
Capital before the world, with the in
dorsement and support of the United
States Government, based on an init
mate knowledge of the facts"
Representative Gibson is disturbed
over the fact that, as he says, the
Washington police force has been given
a poor reputation all over the world
whether deserved or not. On a recent
visit to China he says. he found an
article in local paper severely criticiz-
ing the police of the Capital City. The
Washington police force should be her
aided far and wide as tie best police
force, rather than one with a shady
reputation, he declared.
Recommended Reorganization.
Third degree methods, such as out
lined by The Star" he declared today,
violate constitutional guarantees and
are never warranted" The Gibson sub
committee, of which he is chairman, he
explained, Ibid not make complete
investigation of the Police Department;
but left many situations to be handled
by the District government, and then
recommended a complete reorganlza
tion. following the advice Of the best
crime experts, SO that the Metropolitan
Police Force could be used as a model
for the country. That recommendation
holds good today Members of Congress
have been waiting for action and an
improvement in police conditions. II
that IS not forthcoming, Congress will
be compelled to act. and will demand
complete investigation"

PARIS, September 2.-The news

execution the plan which his supporters
say he advocates.

CARD OF INVERNESS COURSE.
OUT.

Macs case it seems, parallels that Of AL
Simmons, the big smuggling Pole OF Connie
Mack's base ball champions. For i've straight
years Simmons courted the American League
batting championship, but each time some
body came along with bouquet of flowers late
in the season and stole AIS love. Mind you.
the AS star was batting 1856, .343, 1892, ISL
and 1865 during those years, too. But In 1880,
Simmons put on his most fervent wooing and
stood off the late challenge Of Lou Gehr1g TO
win the lady.s nod with an average OF 1881 as
compared with Gehrig's .379.
n low isn't that Mac Smith all over? 1t Is,
" except that the youngest Of the famed
Smith boys from Carnoustie has been denied
his major championship much longer than
Simmons was. He has been championship
threat since away back in 1910, the year he
tied for the open title of Philadelphia Cricket
Club with his brother Aleck and J. j. McDer-
mott Aleck grabbed the title in the three-way
eiay-oh.
But If it's in the cards for Mac Smith to
be denied again this year, the golfng fan prob
ably would be glad to see the championship go
to Diegel. Why? Because Of the five great
kolfers who made their debuts in open compe-
tition at Inverness in 1920, Leo Is the only one
who never has gained the championship. He
is a great golfer, and he has come close to VIC
tory many times, but the championship so far
has eluded him.
You might say that Inverness initiated Bobby
Jones, Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour. Johnny
Farrell and Diegel into the uncertainties Of
major league golf. True. all had tasted tourna-
ment competition before, but this was their
first experience at matching strokes with the
golfng elite of Great Britain and the United
States in the games foremost event.
Diegel turned in the best card OF the five
freshmen on that occasion. His 296 gave him
o tie for second place with Harry Vardon, Eng
lands "old master" Jock Hutchinson and Jack
Burke, one stroke above Ray. Jones tied for
eighth with 299. It's hardly necessary to men
ton that Bobby has since captured the title
four times. besides finishing second on four
occasions
Sarazen scored 311 for thirtieth place, but
he came on two years later to win at Skokie.
Ferrells 315 was good for forty-fifth place, but
Johnny came through a winner in the 1928
event at Olympia. Armour, then playing as an
amateur, recorded BIT strokes which netted
him forty-eighth place. Tommy later turned
pro and won the United States open champion
ship in 1927.
They say that Diegel is still looking for the
demon whose thoughtless chatter late in the
final round sent Leo's taut nerves askew and

YOU can expect them to put the same muscle
] into each swipe as before. The winner will
have to be right" just as all previous winners
had to be shooting their best.
Inverness Is not by any means the hardest
golf test in the country. Neither is it pipe"
course. It offers o proud challenge to the
games best shot-makers and you can rest as
quer par figures over the 72-hole route.
Three par holes and q pair of par SIS break
the monotony Of drive-chip, drive-chip. Two
one-shotters, Nos and IS, are 146 yards
apiece. The other, No. 8. is 210 yards long
which, in the ordinary golf game offers q full
wood shot.
More than 100 sand traps, large and small.
are scientifically set down over its length and
breadth. Inverness Brook wanders across many
no mans land" which Is distinctly out of
bounds. Its rough is tough. Still, Inverness is
only 6,529 yards long. Par is II, and there
will be some who will eclipse that figure,
although it viii take some grade golf to
do it.
Several features distinguish Inverness from
other championship layouts. Although it is
generously sprinkled with traps, yet there is one
hole which does not have a single trap. It's
No. S, a par Of 430 yards. Golfdom long has
recognized this spot as one of the best on any
course in the world.
No. z is the famous "dogleg" History made
on this hole in the open of 1920 has kept it
in the spotlight ever since. 1t is the hole on
which Ted Ray actually blasted out his cham
pionship IL years ago.
No. swerves sharply to the left. The jour-
ney by the fairway exacts tough penalty on a
topped tee shot. The approach also must be
properly hit to the green. OF course one may
drive straight for the greenland that Is how
Ray won the championship.
