Jay Jerome Williams, well known
newspaper man, has a country estate
which borders on the eleventh and
twelfth holes of the Washington Golf
and Country Club course. Jay is fond
of Airedale dogs and has been raising
them for several years, and thereby
hangs this tale.
In order to keep his dogs off the
club property and to prevent caddies
from going near the dogs on his own
property while In search of lost balls
driven into the out-of- bounds terri
tory which is part of the Williams
estate, Williams had the whole place
fenced in recently by high wire fence.
On trees near the out-of- bounds mark
he posted signs informing the Washing
ton club members that the golf balls
driven onto his property would be
gathered up each week and returned
to the club for return to the members.
The other day one Of Williams en-
ployes came to the club with a bag
full of golf balls. Now he is entirely

Jim and Mrs. Baker (nee Miss Mary

an attraction for his tee shots. He set
an all-time record three days ago by

nament, and next Monday
the 1881 edition will be born, but lit
| tie and somewhat tragic story arose to-
| day out of the Coliseum's past when
Frances Walker, the little miss whose
devastating tennis stroke won her the
No. ranking this year, turned in her
entry blank for The Stars fourth an
nual Yuletide party.
You don't have to blame it on the de-
preston to readily perceive why a
bowler shooting in big tournament,
/ especially Christmas-tim tournament,
bears down when he or she realizes
that cash prize is near: But when
| ANYBODY lets up when SheckleS are close
at hand it's best to take it for granted
that person is the heir or heireSs to
John D. Rockefeller.
But Miss Walker had another reason
for letting up last year. Rolling in a big
bowling tourney for the first time
Washington's No. 2 singles netwoman
and No. / doubles player rolled 120
and LOG in her first two games. She
needed only fair third string to finish
in the money.
LeSs-fortunate aSpirantS for The
Stars feminine crown encouraged Miss
Walker One remarked, Shoot ITO this
game and you'll win the $50"
Strangely enough, Miss Walker enter
tanned no thought of finishing in the
money When the word money" was
uttered then, it daWned that to accept
cash in a bowling tourney might auto
matically make her a professional and
bar her from future amateur competi-
| tion.
So it was no wonder that more time
was given to thought than to bowling
in that last game of Miss Walkers
She rolled IS for total of 3l1.
Hardly had the last sticks fallen than
Miss Walker was phoning a net contem-
porary to determine whether she would
become pro by accepting money She
was relieved to find that bowling was
the one sport that will not make an
amateur pro.
But when The Star announced the
IL girl money winners, Miss Walkers
name cid not appear.
She finished thirteenth Had she won
a prize, she could have been rewarded
with silver plate instead of cash-a

of this poll was the relatively slight acquaintance of the voters with prominent radio folk. To be sure, Amos and Andy were not on the list. But Clara, Lu and Elm were, and so were the sponsors of several big programs. And they ran well under the movie favor ites.
 Almost everyone seemed &C., quainted with Buddy Rogers, Mar lene Dietrich, the Ringing Broth CTS, Ina Claire, Bill Powell, Lupe velez, Ann Harding and other film dom figures.
 But Charles Schwab, whose name was presumed to shine so brightly in the business world, has somehow failed to reach the att tention of most icemen, clerks, sec- retaries and such.
 Still, was told by an attache of Variety, that many lawyers, shop keepers, bank clerks and dentists gave the most amazing replies. Six people thought Brisbane was an English statesman attached to par liament. And Einstein was guessed as a film director and a musician. Robert Edeson was confused by many with Thomas Edison, and Charles Hughes was dismissed by one as a "guy with a beard" By the way. 1t sounds like 8 good game--why not try it on your own home town?

New York.-Famous folk. it would seem, are not quite as well known as they thought they were. In New York, for instance, there are groups ranging from actors to writers who are catalogued as celebrities; yet half the people of the metropolis never heard of them. And outside of New York well, they don't even count.
 One of the most amusing com mentaries on fame, have stumbled over in some time may be found in statistics based on a questionnaire sent out by Variety, the theatrical publication. With its tongue in its cheek and it's sense of the ironic in its intent, this periodical made up a selected list of actors, authors, statesmen, radio folk, movie queens, gangsters, pugs and poets. This list was sent to several hun dred dwellers in Chicago. The re- cipients of the list were stenos, in- surance agents, doctors, chamber maids, chorines, school teachers and kindred folk who can be said to represent the rank and file of any population.
 And you'd be surprised! Tn fact, you will be surprised!
 Of course, you may have expect- ed the movie figures to be best known of all--and many of them were. Joan Crawford, John Barry more, Billy Dove, Ruth Chatterton ct al were we'll at the head of the list. And since the poll was taken in Chicago, you might expect Al Capone and Jake Lingle to be pret- ty we'll known!
 But there is something funny about Legs Diamond and Fatty Ar buckle being known to more peo- pie than Gandhi. Sinclair Lewis or Bernard Shaw. N
 And Floyd Gibbons, who was ad- vertised as such demon radio spieler! His name appears we'll down toward the end of the list!
 About 50 per cent of the voters didn't know who he was. Arthur Brisbane may well get a start at noting that while 164 persons voted, only SS knew about him and 76 didn't.
 Vincent Astor, with all his mil lions, was known to but A out of 176. And just to show you that polo can't. be such much in Chi cago, only IA people had seemed to know that Devereaux Mi,burn was alive.
 On the other hand, Bill Hart, al- though out of the picture for many la day, runs even with Bobby Jones and Mussolini and we'll ahead of Aimee McPherson Hutton, Bill Til- den and Benny Leonard.

Dr Edward Nj. Moves, speaking at the forum of the Second Con- gregational church last night, de- clared that the problem of race distribution in the future looms as one of the geratest tasks to be solved. ''The American of To- morrow" was the title of his talk. The biggest problems of world politics in the immediate future, he explained, will be those con- nected with the pressure of popu- lation in crowded lands and the distribution of the surplus in lands where there is more room.
 Figures were quoted by the speaker to show that the earth's population has doubled in the past 60 years and is continuing to in-
