Peacock Grows as Golf Star
Youngster With Chance to Go Places Learns New
Approach ShOt-Webb Promising.

Roger is one of the few lads play
ing golf around washington who
can go places in national golf, but
he needs more experience in the
big-time game and more knowledge
of shot making.
Tommy Webb of Washington Is
another lad who can be good
golfer some day if he irons out
some of the kinks in his game. He
also does not hit the ball high
enough off the iron clubs to play
a well trapped course. But Tommy
has such colossal length off the
tee and such power with all his
shots that he can conquer the
short game just as Lawson Little
has done Little. you know, was
one of the poorest short iron play
ers who eyer hit the big time. But
he has Strengthened himself out
until today he not only hits the
green's with those 160-yard iron
shots, but gets fairly close to the
pin
Combine the great competitive
heart of Harry Pitt with Peacock's
smooth swinging and Tommy
Webb's power and what a golfer
you would have.

1t is likely no odds will be offered
when the diminutive battlers enter

Prospects are for one of the best
club fights OF the year at the Alex

of the four previous tussles, three of
which were held here, was thriller,
Dougan winning the first two and
then bowling out by a knockout and
hair-line decision.
History of the Act.
DUE to superior boxing ability
LIE Roy won by fairly decisive
margins in those first two
scraps. In the third Landers caught
the transplanted Arkansan flush on
the jaw with one of his swishing
rights. Dougan took the count, albeit
claiming it was a home town" and
very snappy toll. In their fourth tilt
which was staged here a couple OF
months ago. it seemed anybody's bat
tie, but because of his heeling and
butting tactics Dougan was over
looked when the judges turned in
their slips.
Each will enter the squared circle
tonight boasting a winning streak.
Landers claims a streak of 20 con-
secutive victories, while Dougan's has
reached three.
Three six FOUNDERS will complete
the card. Joe Green, still unde-

M Rev. DR.. Christian Fich-

4 studied the character and
the ills of the American people
for years, in his travels and from
the pulpit of his Methodist
temple in New York City.
One of the most widely known and
widely reported of the country's
clergymen, DR.. Reisner, never hesitates
to express an opinion on any specific
situation or development that comes
to his attention.
He hasn't been very fsvorably i'm
pressed by the present state of affairs
in America. Maj. John L. Griffith
thinks the country has gone soft. :"
DR.. Reisner is inclined to agree with
him.
You can find signs of softness any,
where you look" he said. Govern
ment subsidies-taxes on booze and
betting-talk of Federal or State lot
teries. When government makes
liquor and gambling legal and obtains
a reverue from such sources, it is en-
couraging the people to abandon toll
and business and go soft"

Y you make liquor legal and you
tax it," he said. What are
you dong there but encourag-
ing men and women to drink The
same holds true of betting on horse
races. And now I've heard talk of
government lottery. A legal lottery
would be the final step toward soft
ness and collapse. an admission by
the Government that it can't make
money in any other way and that it
considers the people soft enough TO
spend their money in that way, in the
hope of getting rich quick"
One factor which saved the Ameri-
cans of an earlier day from being
soft, In DR.. Reisner's opinion, has
been removed from the national scene.
Il mean pioneer territory" he ex-
planned. Americans used TO fight
and struggle and develop and keep
themselves hard by building up new
territory. There seems to be no sub
stitute for that now The prospect,
among people who seem to have for

doctrines, is not very cheerful"
