the lumber to the laying of the
final brick" Nearly a score Of
interests, including wholesalers,
contractors and architects, will

Saving Is Seen
A substantial saving in build
ing costs to the public will be q
natural offshoot of a thorough
organization of the industry, lead
ers said today. Work on the pro-
gram has been in progress for
nearly a year and although no
forecasts are made that it will

Pastimes to Follow.

ANNAPOLIS, January 19.-This week
Winter sports at the Naval Academy
viii advance materially, initial contests
in two additional lines being on the
program.
Fencing and small-bore rifle shooting
on the indoor ranges are the sports
which take their places on the lists with

A STUDY of the offshore waters of
~ Chesapeake Bay brings to light
"A some interesting facts which
4 4 may be useful to anglers.
A bulletin of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries says that
the bay Is rather a shallow body of
water and that there Is not a great
deal of difference between the upper
and lower parts, 80 or 40 feet being
about the average for deep water. Here
and there, the report states, especially
along the Eastern Shore, there are very
deep holes; $50 feet off Kent Island,
ia feet of Poplar Island, 118 feet of
Tilghman Island, ia feet of Taylors
Island, 1856 feet off Barren Island. 1874
feet of Hooper Island, 122 feet off
Point No Point, 139 feet of Smiths
City. All of these are close to the
Eastern Shore except the one off
Smiths Point, which Is near to the
Western Shore, and those off Taylors
Island and Point No Point which are
in the middle of the bay.
The deep holes along the Eastern
Shore are connected with one another
by regions Of greater depth than the
average of the bay, so that there Is q
natural deep channel hugging the East
ern Shore more or less closely and ex-
tending from the head Of the bay to
Point No Point, from which 1t crosses
over toward the Western Shore, becom-
ing lost near Rappahannock Spit (Wind-
mill Point. The deep water then con-
tinueS nearer the Eastern Shore almost
to Cape Charles.
These deep holes are Of special in
terest on account of their permanence,
their comparatively rich and unusual
invertebrate fauna and their relation
to fishing grounds. It is at the bottom
of the deep-water channel that the
most saline and densest water Is found.
Biologists have generally agreed that
Chesapeake Bay, in part at least, Is g.
submerged river and that the deep
water channel is the old bed of the
SusQuehanna River before the sub
sidence of the coastal plain.
Chesapeake Bay has, in general, a
muddy bottom, resulting in part from
the deposition of large amounts of
organic matter brought down from the
land by the rivers. While the bottom
of the bay is largely muddy, the shores
are usually sandy, and this latter con
dition is especially characteristic OF the
southern half Of the bay.
THE movements of the waters Of
l. the bay are complicated. The ebb
and flow of the tide, the outflow
of many rivers which aid the ebb and
hinder the food, the greater volume
of river water entering from the
Western Shore, eddies produced by
headlands at the mouths of rivers and
inequalities on the bottom, currents
moving in more or less opposite direc-
lions at surface and bottom in the
same locality, variations in rainfall,
seasonal changes in temperature, and
strong winds are factors which govern
the movements Of the water in the
bay. There are no very strong cur
rents, a condition which has been
noted by the Coast and Geodetic
Survey
The salinity Of Chesapeake Bay, like
that of other long bays and estalaries,
gradually decreases, with very few ex-
ceptions. from the mouth to the head,
and the bay Is known as . hrackish
body Of water, although the failure as

UNPOPULARITY SEEN
FOR new GOLF BALL

TORREST THOMPSON of Beaver
* Dam is one Of those who do not
believe the new golf ball will b,
as satisfactory for general play
as the old ball. which went out OF
legal existence for tournament play on
January l. Although he admits he has
not given the new ball thorough trial,
the golf he has played with it leads
him to the belief that it will be much
harder to handle off the tee than the
smaller, heavier pill. Thompson leans
to the view that many golfers will not
like the new ball, but that they are
inarticulate as far as making their
views known and will be satisfied with
it perforce.
I'm friendly play" Thompson says,
IT do not think we will find many men
playing the new ball when they can
get the old one. However, 1 think
there should be some agreement
reached between the members of a
foursome when they leave the first
tee, for it would not be fair to the
men who play the new ball to have
their associates outdriving them with
the old ball"
j. E. Baines OF Columbia feels much
the same way, although Pop" who Is
a reasonable man like Thompson, holds
that every man should be entitled to
play the ball he wants to play, within
the limits of courtesy to his fellow
players. Sooner or later, however, the
supply of old golf balls will give out
and then every one will be forced to
play the new standard size pill. Already
there are few old size golf balls avail
able around washington, for produc-
ton on them was stopped by manu-
facturers on October l. British golf
ball manufacturers, however, still are
making the ball in the old size, which
may lead to domination of the market
by them, depending on how the rank
and file of American golfers react to
the ball. The present 1853 ball, which
is 1853 inches in diameter and 1.55
ounces N weight, as against the old
ball, which was 1852 in inches and
ounces. probably will be the only
domestic ball on sale locally within a
few months.

When he leaves school after

Fesler has found foot ball an in

that he had made" all his work at

his general average in class work was

he is just a shade below the highest

GOOD WINTER PLAY
ON DISTRICT LINKS
Fine Weather Keeps Many
Golfers 0ut-CoIumbia Not
After U. S. Meet.

w YASHINGTON golfers have
M been lucky in the matter Of
v v fine weather over their week
ends this Winter. For the
third successive Sunday the golfers who
have not put their clubs away in moth
balls found themselves yesterday with a
fine Midwinter day for play, and they
f1ocked out to revel. For the first time
in several days the greens were soft
enough to pitch to and the golf was
almost like that of late Fall.
Roy Norman, vice chairman of the
Washington Club Golf Committee found
the going so good he played the club
course in 70 strokes, picking up no
fewer than 5 brides en- route, securing
of the in the first holes. He was
playing with DR.. B. S. Taylor. Many
other golfers found the going much
easier than it has been lately, what with
frozen fairways and putting green's.

day that the club is not actively
In the position of bidding for one of
the major golf championships in 1882
Reiteratng the position of the club,
stated more than year ago, Asher said
that Columbia will take a major cham
pion ship only If requested to do so by
the United States Golf Association.
I'VE have had a national open cham
pionShip," Asher said, land we feel that
our members should not be deprived of
the use OF the course for such time as
will be needed for the playing of an
other big tourney. However, If the ma
tional golf body wishes us to hold a
championship, we shall be glad to do
so. We are not bidding for a tourna-
ment at this time.
Reports that Columbia was seeking a
national tourney emanated from Balti-
more last week, when A. S. Gardiner,
representing the club at the annual
meeting of the Maryland State Golf As
ISOLATION, said that Columbia might
wish to have one of the major title
events If it is not awarded to Baltimore
in 1882.
Gardiner said he had not spoken with
Asher or George p. James, chairman of
the Golf Committee, and did not rep
resent Columbia as being in the field
for a major title event.
He said 1t Is possible II the Baltimore
Country Club does not stage q ma jor
tourney in 1882 and the U. S. G. A.
wishes to award it to this section, Co
lumbia might be willing to take it, add
ing that the Maryland State association
should circularize its clubs before set
ting on a club where q big tourney
should be held.
Baltimore Country Club already has
submitted a bid for the 1882 amateur
championship to be held over its Five
Farms course.

THE LISTENING POST
by WALTER TRUMBULL

/ Camera was no hitter, but that he
certainly was a tough boy, who could
take it. Anyhow, his managers have
never been hurt yet.
But I think the most remarkable
achievement of Camera was to draw
the sum of $4,000 in Vega, Spain. If
that was real money, that performance
broke all records. Regardless of what
you may consider Primos real ability
as a fighter, you readily can see why
promoters favor him highly.
And there seems to be no real reason
the people shouldn't have what they
want. If the fans are hot to pay, say
$750,000 or more to see Camera in a
ring with Sharkey. Stribling, or Scheml-
ing, it is, after all, their own money
they are spending. 1t is hard to under
stand why any commission should deny
the rooters that right. They might
go so far as to search Cameras ascot
ates for guns and towels, but after
that why not let the performance go
on? Nobody is compelled to buy q
ticket, and promoters must live.
The story that Rene Lacoste will
return to tournament tennis this sea-
son, must be rather discouraging to the
DaviS~-Cup, If that trophy had any
