Means Something Elsewhere.

TINE interscholastic individual title
/ means something in cities like
New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Boston. In Washington it
means nothing. 1t is high time that
the athletic authorities of the high
schools recognized golf as a sport
worthy of their promotorial efforts
and put this game Of the masses on
a footing with other sports.
If they took hold of golf in the
proper way they would receive the en-
thusiastic backing and support of the
District of Columbia Golf Association,
without question, and almost over
night it would become a sport to be
reckoned with in the high schools.
Furthermore they wouldn't have to
hold their little tournaments on pub
lie golf courses. for the District asso-
citation would see to it that they Sc
cured private courses on which to
play for the Dawes Cup and the indi-
vidual title.
Central High School and Western
have been the main rivals for many
years in the competitions for the
Dawes Cup and the individual tour
ney, but of late years Central has had
a virtual monopoly on the winning
of the team trophy.

In the training camp Trosky has

the other units are Louis (BoZe) Ber-
ger at second. Bill Knickerbocker at
short and Odell Hale at third.
Berger, however, is a long shot. A
big, rangy fellow, formerly star all
around athlete at the University Of
Maryland, he is believed to need
further minor league experience He
played last year with New Orleans,
filling the utility role well in the field
but hitting lightly.
If Berger is farmed out, Hale prob
ably will be shifted to second and the
veteran Willie Kamm installed at
third, where, in spite of advancing
years, he still is one of the games
greatest artists. Hale, a natural
third baseman, was drafted for sec
ond base duty last year and gave a
good account of himself, being one
of the teams most powerful hitters.

TURNED TO SPORT
Title Play Again to Lack In.

uIty Attitude.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.
ACKING adequate faculty
supervision and promotion

ACK1NG adequate faculty
supervision and promotion
for many years, interScho-
laStic golf in Washington,
which means the competitions
for the Dawes Cup and the in
dividual interhigh school title,
appears to be headed this year
for another of those what of
it" affairs.
In city where a great deal Of golf
is played and where every effort
should be made to develop young
players in the high schools, properly
supervised interscholastic golf in
Washington has gotten the Chill" for
SO long that the young players, instead
of looking forward to interscholastic
teams and individual championships,
consider them merely as minor mat
ters and do not point for them as do
the high school youngsters of other
cities.
Each Spring the young golfers of
three or four high schools in the city
play through a more or less hit-and-
miss schedule in the competition for
the Dawes Cup, put up several years
ago by Gen. Charles G. Dawes, then
Vice President Of the United States.
But interest in the tourney is lacking
because golf as part of the high
school athletic curriculum never has
obtained the enthusiastic faculty back
ing and supervision it should have.
MOT in many years has properly
l Y supervised individual champion
ship been held, and it is
doubtful if any youngster now inter-
ested in the game in the high schools
could name the interscholastic cham
pion of last year. For several years
the boys got together among them
selves and arranged interscholastic
championships, which usually were
played at East Potomac Park and were
poorly regulated and handled.
What is needed is recognition by
the faculty athletic supervisors of the
game Of golf as a part of the sports
curriculum, with adequate supervision,
regular schedule Of events for the
Dawes Cup and installation of an
interscholastic individual champion
ship as regular feature Of the high
school athletic season.
In other cities the interscholastic
tourney is one eagerly entered and con-
tested among the youngsters Of the
high schools, and they do not have
anything so attractive as a team title
for a cup put up by a Vice President.

DLAYING little more than half the
season, he hit 33 home runs, be-
coming runner-up to Joe Hauser
of Minneapolis for the slugging cham
pionship. And Trosky played in one
of the associations spacious parks,
while Hauser had a bandboX in which
to exercise his talents.
Second baSemen soon learned to
employ the same tactics when Trosky
came to bat that are used against
Babe Ruth-moving back into short
right field, lest they get a leg in the
path of one of his cannon ball drives
Still relatively green and still show
ing some cruditieS in his defensive
play, Trosky is nevertheless considered
the Indians regular first baseman by
Manager Walter johnson. He has
been awarded the place over Harley
Boss, last years incumbent, who re-
ported here late and weakened by a
recent attack of flu.
The big Iowa farm boy has beer
assigned for the time being, at least
to the cleanup position in the bat
ting order, with Earl Averill batting
third and Joe Vosmik fifth. If he
lives up to expectations he will give
the Indians such wrecking crew as
they haven't had in many years.

War Ace Flying Fast Douglas Liner With 13
Passengers Aboard Pauses g Minutes
At Capital Airport to RefueI

Dropping down out of lead grey
clouds the Florida Flyer, with
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker at the
controls, paused here for 10 min
utes early today, a full half hour
behind schedule.
At 1883 a. M, dispatches from
Jacksonville said, the huge plane
reached there, 70 minutes behind
schedule.
The plane, a new Douglas low
wing monoplane, is being pushed
by Captain Rickenbacker and his
copilots on a one-day round-trip
flight between New York and
Miami in an attempt to break
the existing record.
The ship is the same in which
the famous World War ace set
a new transcontinental record
last week by speeding from Los
Angeles to New York in IL hours

When Captain Rickenbacker
climbed out of the silver grey ship
to talk with government officials
and personal friends waiting to
wish him luck, he was accom-.
panied by his wife, one of the 13
passengers making the flight. He
wore a soft grey hat, brown over
coat, grey suit, and a soft collored
chirt with hlo III fio
In the few moments he had to
chat he explained delayed start
from Newark airport and stiff
headwindS were responsible for
his being behind schedule.
Immediately after the plane
was refueled it got away after q

Parker at the controls, swung on
its Southbound course.
The speed flight is being staged
by Eastern Air Lines preparatory
to launching a regular Douglas
airplane service over the New

GA F ANTILLES
TAKEN FROM
RELIEF ROLES
Decrease of 1894 Revealed
as Presidents New Plan
Becomes Effective

In accordance with President
Roosevelt's new policy to cut re.
lief rolls and substitute work re-
lief for direct payments to the
unemployed, 624 families were
dropped from the rolls of the local
Emergency Relief Division after
thorough investigation by case
workers disclosed them as CHS
ellers.
Miss M. Alice Hill, director of
Emergency Relief reported today
that 1880 cases of families on re-
lief were closed and only 1,486
new names added to the rolls, leaV.
ing a net decrease of 1894.
749 Find Work
OF the families dropped from
relief, the greatest number 749,
had secured employment, and 748
had had no contact with the
Emergency Relief Division for 80
days or more. This latter group,
Miss Hill explained, had either
found employment or developed
OGQer RESOURCES.
Case workers were ordered to
make a complete investigation of
recipients of relief and found that
the income of many of the fami-
lies we're adequate. Miss Hill re-
ported that case workers were able
in many instances to find employ
ment for their clients.
Reasons For Action
The Emergency Relief Director
gave the following reasons for
dropping families from the rolls:
"Three hundred and five of
those whose cases were closed
had moved and their address is
not known. Seventy had made
their own adjustment. Sixty
one had not proved their eligi-
bility for relief. Sixty refused
work. Fifty were dropped be-
cause of lack of cooperation,
payment of excessive rent or
misuse Of funds. FOrty-One
have gone to the CCC camps.
Thirty-eight were transferred to
other agencies such as private
welfare organizations. Thirty
were dropped because their pen
SiOnS or insurance policies were
SO adjusted that they no longer
needed assistance"
More than $50 persons who ap
piled for assistance in October
were rejected without registering
them. The largest number of this
group were said to have an ade.
quate income.
Aid was given to 72O new appli.
cants because of unemployment
illness, old age and mental def
ciencieS.
