PUT TOP SOIL
ON SECOND
GREEN

These are busy days at Ban
nockburn Golf Club. Work on
the new No. 2 green has pro-
gressed to the point Of surfacing
the green with eight inches to one
foot of top soil and metropolitan
bent stolens, and sodding the new
approach. This green, with over
1000 square fet of putting sur
face, is situated about go yards
west of the old green, reducing
the elevation 80 feet, thus elimi-
mating the climb and giving, in
stead, a very gradual rise to the
new fairway.
The new sand traps have been
completed on Nos. l, 8 and Is
holes. and installation began at
No. II. Work is in progress on
the new No. is tee, which will be
located rs feet north of the pres
ent tee. It will be grass-surfaced,
exceptionally large and suffici-
emily elevated.
Work Will also be started on
the new No. IA green, located just
back of the present green, which
will reduce the severe penalty for
inaccuracy on this hole.
The grading, widening and
Surfacing of the main club
driveway, from Conduit Road
through the 3OO-yard approach
to the clubhouse, and the great
circle drive at the club is being
pushed to completion. under the
supervision of the road and
parking space committee, con-
Sisting of DIR. L. T. SOuder, Ma
jOr G. B. Hunt and Ray Gar
rett.
Contracts are about to be let
for landscaping this area, in
which will be the new tennis
courts. This work includes a fine
setting of shrubbery and flower
beds for the clubhouse and its
approach.

Big. Mat Benefit

Now another branch of sport
has foresworn itself to do some
thing about the hard times
which have beset industry and
business. Joe Turner, typical to
the traits of the man who is
indeed grateful for the support
the public has given him in his
indoor wrestling enterprises, is
going to handle a great outdoor
mat show at Clark Griffith
Stadium, May 81, embracing an
all-Star card.
The profits from this show
are going to the local unem-
ployment council which has
been carrying on so capably
down at the Municipal Build
ing. Only the wrestlers will be
paid, every other item of ex-
pense including the use of the
ball park with it's flood lights
and all-being donated. Turn
er is to promote the charity
gratis, the newspapers are 60
ing to plug it to the limit and
everyone locally is going to join
hands to put this huge outdoor
show over until the ball park
groans with humanity.
We bespeak for both the rae
ing and wrestling offerings
which are approaching in be-
half of happy days" the un-
stinted support of the sport
lovers, having satisfied ourselves
that humanity will profit from
the proceeds, practically a hun
dred per cent

DELACY LOSES
HEAD AND BOUT

Overanxiousness has cost men
golden opportunities, and Jack
De Lacy, lightweight of the Vic
tory Post, American Legion, to-
day has learned this lesson.
Opposed to Benjamin +. Rear,
of the Rockville A. A., in one OF
the lightweightweight bouts III
the preliminaries of the annual
District A. A. U. boxing cham
pionships at Rockville, Md, last
night, DeLacy had sent his man
to the canvas in the first round.
Referee Denny Hughes had
tolIed off the count of two and
Read had risen to one knee.
DeLacy, forgetting the rules,
brushed aside Hughes and
whacked Read flush On the
Jaw, placing him flat On his
back. There was nothing Tor
Hughes to do but disqualify
DeLacy on a foul and award
the bout to Read.
Among those who know their
amateur boxers, it was said that
DeLacy had a chance OF reach
ing the finals in the lightweight
division. He appeared the SUI
perior of Read, but there Is an
lnwritten law, even in rough
house brawls, never to hit = man
while he's down.
The lone knockout was FUR

once or twice this week has
a stranger asked this par

It would be difficult to es-

human suffering last fall, that

Racing Goes Charity

Here in Washington, we
threw" one game for human
relief, that Coast Guard
Marine game at Clark Grit
fifth Stadium, and indeed q
tidy company of folks turned
out therefor.
Now comes two other enter
priSeS in the name of humanity
which deserve as liberal a fling
from the public, and it is our
purpose here and now to start
plugging both.
First is the charity day at
Bowie next Monday when every
wheel that turns will be Whirling
in behalf of the unemployed.
We understand no individual at
the track connected with the
conduct of racing is to receive
a penny for his days toll.
We further understand that
every cent that would normally
go to any source in taxes,
breakage or any other classified
tion of profit-making is to
go next Monday to Governor
Ritchie'S unemployment fund.

Kilmer is casting longing eyes
on the 81, 500 Bowie Kindergarten,
a half-mile dash, exclusively for

He has never won the event, but
has a colt under cover, which he

are: Frank Bray, Is; James Ar

Bob McKeever, four; Joseph Nc
Keever, five, and w. L. Brodie,
eight.
The majority of the latter
horses raced all winter and need
only a bit of tuning up in order
to be ready for the call.
Judging by the manner in
which horses are pouring into
Bowie from every section OF
America, Canada and Mexico,
every one of the 1900 available
stalls will have an occupant by
the time the actual racing starts
on March 80.
Handlers of the split-second
watches, who have been out in
force for the past three weeks,
report some excellent moves. In
fact, they are confident a track
record or two will be equaled
before the sport closes, as the
caliber of thoroughbreds on the
grounds is far superior to that

By JORGR

''Like the children in the Anderson Fairy Tale
Rumpelstilchen,' we seem to have guessed Red
JorgeS real name and purpose and, also, like
his Infamous prototype, Rumpelstilchen, we can
see him now stamping himself through the floor
in mad rage at the discovery"
The above from the Union Labor Record" of
Philadelphia didn't cause us to stamp single
stamp. We were too astonished at the igno-
rant audacity Of anyone pretending to be the
editor of paper in the English language who
SO abuses it in attacking lis and urging that we
should be deported back where we came from"
We were just ornery enough to have selected
Kansas to be born in, and the gentleman wishes
us to be deported to Soviet Russia! That would
please us, but it is rather presumptious for
fellow who cannot write English intelligibly to
ask that someone else be deported anywhere
But it's matter of indifference to Com
munist to which country he is sent and Kan
sas will do very well.
1t is rather ungrateful, also, on the part of
the Union Labor Record editor, to bear hard
feelings toward us On the strength of our
comment he surely can get raise in pay from
the Philadelphia employers for his services in
their behalf From the following letter received
from worker of Philadelphia we Judge that he
does his best to earn it:

fought his battles not only with an editorial
policy which at once attracted widespread at
tention, but it PRACTICED WHAT IT

Daily News But what could one expect from
the Union Lying (not "Labor') Record which is
now printing many lies against the Trade Union
Unity League and the Communist Party, instead
OF the truth about the many strikes in Philadel-
phia.-O ""
We are not very interested in Andersons Fairy
Tales, or those cooked up by the editor of the
Union Labor Record, but if there's Rumpe-
stilchen medal to be allotted we think it should
hang on the Labor editor friend of the OPEN
shop Daily News. At least he qualities for the
first syllable.
