Postal Savings Down.

Postal Savings Down.
Washington bankers are watching
with interest the decline in United
States Postal Savings, as an indica-
ton that people now are beginning
to put their money into banks in
stead.
The slow decrease in the postal saw
ings has continued until the total on
deposit at the end of May stood at
$l,197 100000, compared with the rec
ord high of 81 ,20S, ,8O0,O 900 at the end
of December, 1888. A drop has been
registered each month since the high
was reached and the beginning of the
downward move comedies with the
placing into operation in January Of
the plan for insuring deposits in banks.
The rapid increase in postal savings
had been one of the features of the de-
preston. Distrust of the stability nf
the banking structure and fear for the
safety of deposits had led to the
switching of private deposits from the
banks to the Postal Savings System,
where safety was guaranteed by the
United State Government.
The drop of $40 900 900, which has
taken place between the end Of De-
cember and the end of May, is small,
as compared with the increases which
had taken place formerly. Between
the END of June. 1929, and the end OF
February, 1888. just prior TO the bank
ing holiday, postal savings had
jumped from S153. 500. 900 to S1.0O6,-
200 900. an increase of 1882, 500 900. A
further gain of 5000 600 900 then took
place before deposit insurance came
into effect in January OF this year.

until conditions improve"
Mr.. Sopwith replied, Il would like

Very good. do that" answered the
King, after thinking the matter over.
Thereupon Mr.. Sopwith took action
which resulted in the challenge being
issued and accepted.
If the King had not said wait"
things would have begun moving
earlier than they did and the work

DINEHURST, N. c., March

money beckoned to a field

Among the entries were nearly all

Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y;
Witty Cox of Brooklyn, Horton
Smith of Chicago, Craig Wood of
Deal, N. j., and Willie Macfarlane Of
Tuckahoe, N. Y. First prize money
is 81 200.
The general belief that Joe Kirk

changed as returns from the tune-up
rounds came in yesterday. Frank
Walsh OF Chicago went on a rampage
and scored IS, while there were a
number of scores below 70. Par for
the course is II.
Johnny Dawson, Chicago amateur,
cruised around in So with the help of
hole in one on the seventh.
Dawson had plenty of witnesses to
his ace, for he was playing with Hor-

Investments Included.

INCLUDED in these cost estimates
are the carrying charges of the
golf plant investments. which have
a national total of around 5000 000,-
600 on the basis of money invested
The P. G. AS estimate of the num-
Der of golfers in the United States is
100000, of whom about one-sixth
are casual players. The present club
total is put at $500. Only 30 clubs
discontinued operations since 1881.
Of the 5000 clubs, 4,249 are in the
private membership class. The clubs
privately owned number 800 and the
public courses $50.
According to this authority there
are more rounds of golf played each
year than the combined attendance Of
all league base ball games. all of the
larger college foot ball games, all of
the horse racing meets, all of the
major league hockey games and all Of
the leading boxing and wrestling
matches. Last year approximately
SIS, ,0OO, 900 rounds of golf were played.

Has Style All His Own,

TIE HAS played all the other
II courses in figures around par or
better, and he has constantly
demonstrated that with ample time
for practice and work on his game
he will be one of the outstanding
professional players in this territory.
Genes style is all his own. He takes
very free and a very full swing,
different from the somewhat alb
breviated stroke that is the popular
model of the leading pros of today.
And Gene plays all his shots for
hook, believing, as does Barnett. that
a controlled hook is the best way to
maneuver a golf ball.
That tricky little layout at Wood
mont, an architectural gem, should
be duck soup for Larkin, for it is
admirably fitted for man who hits
the ball from right to left, as does
Gene. You can look for Gene to do
some fancy scoring at Woodmont
this yea. and to do some trick scor-
ing on other courses as well. The
little Woodmont pro is due to come
up in the big time this year.

Busy at Chevy Chase to
Keep in Form.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

W yITH more opportunity
M for play and practice
w than he has had for
several years Gene Lar
kin, young sorrel-thatched golf
professional who will take over
the Woodmont Country Club
berth next Sunday, is due to
become a potent factor again
in the winning of professional
tournaments in this section.
He is slated to leave his Winter
post at Lake Wales, Fla, Thursday
for Washington and is he enthusi-
astic about his first big pro job. No
kid with new sled ever was happier
than is Larkin over securing the Wood
mont berth. his first venture as full
Hedged golf pro.
Gene has been associated with Bob
Barnett as assistant in the golf shop
at Chevy Chase for seven years. Most
of those years were spent in giving
lessons and in attending to the other
duties that fall to the lot of an as
sistant at such large club as Chevy
Chase
Back in 1927 Gene won the Mary
land State open championship over
the Elkridge Hunt Club course near
Baltimore, holing an lace" on one
shot hole for par after he had put
his first tee shot out of bounds. Dur
ing the years that have passed Gene
has won several minor events, and
has qualified several times for the
open championship, but always has
been too busy to keep his game up to
the kene edge needed to win.
Will Have Free Time.
IOODMONT is a small club and
" there isn't a great deal of play
there throughout the week, for
most of the Woodmont members are
golfers who play on Saturday and
Sunday. With this set-up Gene will
have ample time to gear his game
again to the pace he set as young
ster, back in the days when Bob Bar
nett used to insist that Gene practice
for at least an hour a day.
Bob saw then and still sees in Gene
Larkin lad who should win lot of
tournaments. golfer who can move
along as fast as any man when he
has time to practice and compete
And incidentally Genes former en-
ployer is his biggest booster. for Bob
has known and liked Gene ever since
the Larkin lad-then a little red
headed kid of II years-carried Bar
nett's bag in tournaments around
Philadelphia. He has consistently
aided Gene on the long road that
leads to the heights of professional
golf.
Gene comes to Woodmont we'll
equipped to make a name for him
self in professional golf competition.
Few players can hit the ball further
and with more accuracy off wood
and iron than this slim-hipped, fresh
faced youngster. a lad who already
has the Woodmont golfers all popped
up with productions of bigger and
better things. Gene has played
Chevy Chase in 65 strokes several
times-no mean feat against a par
of SO, and the toughest par around
Washington.
