Both Kelley for Ninth and Bell for

tourney is open to members Of mem
ber clubs having handicaps OF IA or
less. Dick Lunn of Chevy Chase Is
the title holder and will defend his
championship, even though Dick has
played little golf, and THAT badly.
Course privileges at Columbia are
extended to all contestants in the
tourney starting tomorrow.
Only Is men will qualify for the
title, although an entry list OF so or
more is expected. The Columbia
course, carefully groomed for the
tourney, is in fine condition and for
the final round will probably stretch
out to something like $500 yards.
The tournament, for the first time in
IA years, win be played at match
play this year. And just a tip to the
hopeful lads who hope to cop the
crown: Watch Miller STEVENSON. The
Columbia champion, set back by his
failure to qualify for the national,
wants to win, and may come fairly
close to doing just that over his home
bailiwick. No more determined and
courageous golfer is hitting the ball
around Washington than this same
Stevinson. If Gene VinSon plays he
will be a formidable hurdle. So will
Roger Peacock, for Roger also wants
to win back the crown he annexed IN
1882.

A CCEDING to several requests
" that the tournament be post
~ poned until after the national
amateur championship, the
District Golf Association today set
new dates for the District junior
title tourney, originally scheduled for
Indian Spring on September 5, 6 and
Z. The fathers Of District golf have
set the dates for the junior tourna-
ment for September 81, % and %,
which will permit Junior Champion
Billy Dettweiler to defend the crown
he won last year. The tournament
will be played at Indian Spring.
Billy wants to leave for Brookline,
scene of the national, on September
4, which would prohibit the defense
of his title on the original dates set
for the junior tourney. So the Dis
trict association, always willing to do
the right thing, has agreed to move
the dates forward, but could not
start the event on September II,
the day following the national, since
the schools open on that day and all
the competitors will be schoolboys.
They made a compromise arrange
ment. The qualification round in
the junior championship will be
played on the afternoon Of Friday,
September 81, with two match rounds
the following day and the tourney
will then wind-up with an 18-hole
final round on Sunday, September 20.
In the meantime the District asso-
citation is looking forward to the high
spot on its schedule-the Forthcoming
District amateur championship, to be
held at Columbia starting on Wednes-
day of this week. The tournament
will have to get along without the
amiable presence of Dr. William c.
Barr, secretary of the District associa-
ton, for DR.. Barr has been called to
Illinois by the illness Of his mother

BILLY TEA FOR
 BRITISH ROYALTY
Kitchen Utensils Cannot Produce Peculiar Flavor
 Made By Australians

''Billy" tea is known and appre- ciated by all Australians because 1t has a flavor peculiarly its own which cannot be reproduced with the usual kitchen utensils. : The "billy" is what is sometimes known as a "growler" in America just a tin can with a lid, pre- ferably well smoke-blackened.
 Hearing that the Duke of Glou- cester was to be introduced to billy tea, an old bushman sent this re- cipe to the Melbourne Centenary Council:
 "Place a three-quart billy of water on the fire, take the lid off in readiness, and, just as it comes to the boil, drop in handful of mixed tea and sugar-two-t thirds sugar and one-third tea.
 'Let the billy remain on the fire for one second, then take off, stir round with a dry stick, allow to stand for a minute, then serve.
 "A new billy must not be used, as the tea would taste raw.
 "I hope you make a good job of it." he concluded, "as the taste may spread through the royal house. hold and, perhaps, make billy tea popular throughout the world"
 Other billy tea experts advised putting the tea in the boiling water without the sugar, sweetening to taste in the cups or pannikins.

LADY LOSES HER SAVINGS IN
 SPINDLE GAME
Cured of Her Rheumatism Temporarily - Robbed
 of Money Permanently

Jersey City, N. J. Dec 1s-(UP) Mrs Anna Platt had one of the two things she wanted for her old age. She had $7149 to keep her from being dependent. But she didn't have her nealthf Rheuma- tism knotted her muscles.
 "Now if I only had my health, l could do lot of things" she said to her son, John.
 Don't worry, ma," replied John. When you're 69, you're not 1S."
 The day after Thanksgiving, Mrs Platt's rheumatism was so bad she could barely walk. On street cor ner, another woman stopped her.
 I'm Marie Petrowicz," she said. Don't you remember me? was so sorry when I heard you were sick"
 Mrs Platt looked at the we'll dressed woman of 50. She didn't remember her, but her sympathy seemed genuine and was pleasing. Marie walked with her to her home, helped her off with her wraps, then announced she could cure the rheu- matism.
 The next day she returned with 8 bottle of "holy oil." She mass aged Mrs Platt's legand the pain ebbed. She returned daily for a week, repeating the treatment. The pain was almost gone and Mrs Platt was delighted.
 "The stars and the moon tell me you have $2000 in the bank" Marie said.
 Mrs Platt was amazed. Lands sake, how did she know? Marie ex- plained that ot get complete cure she would have to take her money out of the bank.
 Marie returned the next day. The money was waiting. Marie divided it into two handkerchiefs wrap ped bundles, tying them to Mrs Platt's legs.
 "That's the way to cure rheuma- tism," she said. "You'll be sur prised."
 The bags were kept on her legs three days. When Marie took them off the pain was less than 1t ever had been. Mrs Platt was beside her self with joy.
 "Now," said Marie, i've must put the money in one bundle and sew it into your pillow. Fetch me 9 needle and thread" Mrs Platt went into the next room. She could almost sing, so wonderful it was to walk without the least semblance of pain. She returned with the needle and thread. Marie had the bundle all ready and quickly sewed it into the pillow. It must stay there nine days, she said.
 The nine days ended yesterday. Leeling that life couldn't have been better to her, since now she had her health restored, Mrs Platt ripped open the pillow, rip pc dopen the bundle. From it, 51 dollar bills showered down into her lap.
 Mrs Platt wept. Rheumatic pains, more painful that she had ever felt before, shot up and down her legs.
