to the Chesapeake and Potomac

Upon receipt of a call for a

would open only upon insertion
of a token. Tokens would be
sold to cabmen for 3 cents each.

A Small Suicide
The book publishers were not satisfied with having
the movies and the radios cut into their business: like
man held up by robbers they tore up and threw away
the money they carrying; they persuaded people
that joke book could give the same pleasure as work
of art and that sensational and semi-sexua story
about any "type'-senographer, gangser, saesWoman
or street cleaner-is readable and important
than novel of character. The only good thing the
publishers have done in the last 10 has been the
publication of important works of history, biography
and science, with much publicity that they have
made people read these books They have tried to
spoil this by getting out bad limitations of the good
works, but they have not entirely succeeded.

Courses Should Be Planned
To Interest Both Star and
Dub, Bobby Jones Declares

supposed to be offered him becomes nc
problem at all when he has nothing to
look forward to.
Whenever there is a carry offered
two things are essential. First, there
must be way around for those who are
unwilling to accept the risk. and there
must be a definite reward awaiting the
man who takes the chance successfully.
Without the alternative route, the stu
alton is unfair; without the reward, it
is meaningless
The ideal golf course would have to
be played with thought as well as
mechanical skill. Otherwise, 1t could
not hold a players interest. The per-
feet design should place a premium
upon a sound judgment as well as ac-
rect placing of each shot. Mere length
control ought to be punished.
Good Rewarded, Bad PenaIized.
THERE are two ways of widening the
l. gap between a good tee shot and
bad one. One Is to inflict a
severe and immediate punishment upon
the bad shot, to place its perpetrator
in a bunker or in some other trouble
which will demand the sacrifice of a
stroke in recovering. The other is to
reward the good shot by making the
second shot simpler in proportion to
the excellence of the drive. In this
way upon the long well placed drive
possibly the one which has dared an
impressive bunker-is conferred the
greatest benefit, but shots of less ex-
cellence are still left with the oppor-
tunity to retrieve their fortune by
bringing off an exceptionally fine second.
The reward in this case can be of any
nature, but it is more commonly one
of three. a better view of the green, an
easier angle from which to attack a
slope or an open approach past guard
ing hazards.
A course which is constructed with
these principles in view must be inter-
esting, because it will offer problems
which a man may attempt according
to his ability. II will never become
hopeless for the duffer, nor fail to con-
Germ and interest the expert. And 1t
will be found, like old st. Andrews. to
become more delightful the more it is
studied and played.

~ HICAGO, March 81. Ways
and means of eliminating
stalling in basket ball were
considered today by more
than 100 coaches as they gathered
for their annual meeting.
Several proposals to speed up the
game were up for consideration, in
cluding restricting the dribble to one
bounce in the back court, instituting
the held ball" rule in case the
team in possession Of the ball fails
to try for goal after five seconds,
and giving the referee power to pen
aliZe q team for stalling.
DR.. Walter Meanwell of Wisconsin
had several radical rule changes to
suggest. one of which proposes all
free throws be made at the end of
each half and another the principle
of cancellation. Thus, If two teams
had the same number Of fouls at the
end of the half, no free throws
would be made. If one team had
two or more free throws coming. 1t
would be permitted to make just
that many at the half or at the end

n EW YORK, March 81
NJ Tennis has been bitten by
l Y the tax bug. Not to be
outdone by the lawmakers
at Washington, those who direct
the destinies of the courts seek
to fill treasury requirements by
various methods. They loudly
proclaim that "it's all for the good
of the game"
Holcombe Ward, president of the
Eastern Association has surprised some
Of the leading clubs by an announce
ment that a tax upon the entry list of
competitors in tournaments the coming
season would be put into operation
That's new move. Some of the clubs
1ail TO show any enthusiasm for it, as
they declare 1t is mighty little in the
way OF aid and support that they re-
celve anyway, that tournaments are
conducted generally at a financial loss
and to levy upon the entry fees is like
rubbing salt into a wound
AS the tournament schedule is be-
ing arranged 1t appears, from informa-
ton CLEANED by the writer, that a tax
OF % cents is to be levied upon each
competitor. AS an officer OF one of
the most prominent clubs in the metro
polltan area explained it to the writer:
IN recent years 1t has been the Gus
tof to charge an entry fee of 50 in
the singles for the championship held
| at our club Well, this new move. and
I've received notification from HoI-
combe Ward about it, means that we
probably will increase the entry fee
Surely the club, the way the sport
stands at present, cannot bear the
burden. 1t is bound to be passed on
to the player.
The cost Of living may be on the
decline but the cost of tennis is soar
ing"
