MOSCOW, Feb. II (By Ra-

tremendous throng of workers and
soldiers, Voroshilov, Commander of

"The Red Army is the only army
in the world which is not intended

Of other lands. Together with the
entire country, together with the

for peace.
But our sword is sharp, and is
ready to defend and defeat all who
seek to violate the peaceful Social

who dares to pass over our borders,
will he utterly destroyed!

Such .low-scoring stunts as Al
Houghtan's 81 at Washington; Roger
Peacock's 81 at Indian Spring and the
amazing rise of a newcomer to the
throne Of District champion brought
more general interest into the 1884
golf season than any year has known
since 1929. Gene Vinson, tall protege
of Senator Pat Harrison from Missis-
sippi, won the District amateur cham
pionship from Billy Dettweiler, the
long hitting Congressional youngster,
and also won the medal and the
tournament at Chevy Chase.
VinSon, defeated only once IN
year of competition locally, capped his
season of campaigning by leading the
field in the sectional qualification
rounds for the national amateur
championship at Five Farms with
mark of lat. leader among the five

Hunt Club Hits Unhappy Note.


A FOR individuals and horses the
~ bride paths of course developed
their particular champions and
personal preferences, impossible for
more than two horsemen to agree
upon, but nevertheless sound. The
working hunters also defy claSsiflca-
ton for any except the riders who
know the thrill and satisfaction Of
taking them on to hounds. In show
circles, the stables of Mrs. John Hay
Whitney and Mrs. M. Robert Guggen-
helm were nationally prominent again
this year, and undoubtedly the bright
stars of the local tanbark constellation.
Amongst the steeplechasers, Charles
Cheston's Captain Kettle had the
honor of tucking away his second
Maryland Hunt Cup; Mrs. T. w. Dur
ants Little Dan and Paul Melons
Drinmore Lad proved themselves the
best of the younger timber horses, and
the brush honors were distributed
amongst half a dozen champions Of as
many stables.
Only one pessimistic note-aside
from the inevitable handful of fatal
accidents and serious injuries suffered
by sports men and women-was struck
during the year. That was the decline
and now imminent fall Of the Riding
and Hunt Club as a city institution.
Apparently the unit will soon abandon
its famed Twenty-second and street
ring and move to new quarters some
where in the country. The Fort
Myer riding hall fire was temporary
tragedy, turned into good fortune by
the reconstruction of the building
along more modern lines. Its inaugu-
ration will be the first big equestrian
event here in the year 1885.

Straight Off Tee

WITHIN a week Roland Mac
w KenNe and his wife will de-
part from Washington for a
tour of the West and South. Roland
plans to leave before New Year,
driving to Chicago to pick up trailer
and from there to California to play
in all the Western tournaments in
January and early February, and fol-
lowing the professional cavalcade to
Florida late in February.
Leo Walper is another local pro
who probably will make the circuit.
The Mackenzie golf game is coming
back, after three months of compara-
tive inactivity due to a muscle injury.
Roland is not the same slashing hitter
that he was as boy, but he is a
better golfer around the greens and
steadier player than he was during
those days when he was cleaning up
everything in sight among the local
amateurs.
He may grab a slice of the prize
dough in some of the Winter tourna-
mentS, despite the strenuous cmpeti-
tion. But even if he doesn't make a
hatful of money he will have had a
good time and his first real vacation
since last March, when he took over
the Congressional berth. The young
man has worked hard and has done
good job at Congressional.

golf front around Washington finds
