once more under a smiling sun with
comfortable temperature.
Today AL Houghton plans to corrall
a piece of the loose change the pros
may have in their jeans by having
them all over to Kenwood to play in
a little informal sweepstakes tourney.
A similar affair last Monday was post
poned because of lack of entries, but
AL will mop up today. Any man who
beats him over his own golf course
will have done q considerable piece
of shooting.
DILLY HOWELL, young Richmond
ID ace, expects some 200 entries for
the Southern amateur champion
ship to be played at the Country Club
of Virginia next June I'VE hope we
shall get some of the boys from Wash
ington, too," Billy said in a round at
the Washington Golf and Country
Club, where he scored about 78.
Plainly out of practice, he hadn't
played for month, the Howell lad
reached the fifteenth green with two
colossal wooden club shots. He gets
as much out of tee shot as any
skinny kid weighing l25 pounds we
ever have seen.
Gene Vinson. the District champion,
is coming north from Meridian, Miss,
to make another bid for the South
ern title, according to Billy, and will
be among those favored to win. Vim

tournament at New Orleans last week,

1.-TWO date changes are due to be
j announced shortly by two of
the golf associations in this
territory. OF major Importance to To-
cal golfers is the coming change in
the date for the District amateur
championship, now scheduled for the
Washington Golf and Country Club
during the last week in August The
tourney is slated to be changed to
the last week in September.
The other change will come in the
dates chosen for the Maryland State
amateur title tourney, tentatively
scheduled for Five Farms during the
third week in June. While the date
chosen is tentative and conflicts with
the Southern tourney, delegates from
Maryland at the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association meeting said the date
probably will be changed to avoid the
conflict.
While no commitment has been
made. the mid-Atlantic championship
of 1886 probably will be played at
Five Farms. Charles McPhail of the
Baltimore Country Club, now first vice
president of the association, will be-
come president in 1886. with the tour
ney slated to 60 to his club.

other famed trophy in her colors, no
one believed that money ever would
part Mrs. Somerville from the great
hearted jumper. They were right. 1t
will not.
Instead, she has signified her inten-
ton of giving the horse to Noel Laing,
the Virginia gentleman Jockey and
trainer who has ridden the son of
Berrilldon in all his great races ex-
cept the Meadowbrook of 1888, when
he was too i'll to ride. Together that
pair put up the heart-burSting finish
which won the Maryland by a nose
in 1882. In 1888 they finished the
English Grand National course stand
ing up, no petty feat in itself. The
Carolina Cup, the Piedmont Gold Cup
and the Alligator Cup are few of the
other notable trophies on which the
big bays name has been inscribed.
And in each victory it was Laing who
had the leg up, who had conditioned
the horse for the trial.
The gift came as a surprise to the
young Virginia horseman last week
at Camden.

jay MeCadon handed him an ar

Phil's popularity didn't suffer to any

Johnny Jadick, former Junior welter

Foggy Bottom boy, but again Furr's

TACT that it took all Jadick had to

Jackie Davis is a good boy and in

Davis getting most of the play from

AVIS is far more experienced
than Fur, and unless Phil
proves the harder puncher it
is probable that Jackie will walk off
with a decision. The Clevelander, a
23-year- r-old Jewish boy, has faced
many of the best 147-pounders during
the last three years, and has won his
share of victories. Jimmy Leto and
Tony Herrera are two of his victims,
although both turned around in "re-
beats" and reversed the decisions.
The preliminary card will be fea-
tured by a so-called "grudge" match
involving Roy Manley and Roddy Da-
Wis, local welters. It is said that the
boys, former stablemates, broke off
amiable relations, or something, and
that their knuckles itch at the sight
of each other. They are to go six
rounds.

BIuebird's Speed Now
to 270 Miles.
BY EDWARD ]. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~ AYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
4.-Tfe prince Of speed put
his foot down all the way
today, not on the throttle of
hard pressed old Bluebird, but fat
on continuance of record runs on
Daytona's sands until the beach def
nitely improves.
That might possibly be today-on
the low tide at 1:o7 pm. (E. s. To-
or it might be rs years from now,
but hot or cold, high water or low,
the big blue thunderdragon stays in
the garage until there is no danger
of Sir Malcolm CampbellS head get
ting torn away by the wind, or
jounces breaking straps that hold him
in the cockpit and hurting him into
the neighboring ocean.
The slim EngliShman, who Will
stand just so much of anything, In
cluding Northumberland heckling Of
local officials who insist on telling
him what he's doing wrong, and
swivel chair athletes who hold their
hats at 20 miles an hour, raced once
down the beach yesterday. He hit
270 miles an hour, shade under the
record, but for the second straight
day he was in trouble all the way.
Pressure Nearly Scalps Him.
CATURDAY when he ran 2o5 miles
an hour, shooting for his two
year-old record of 272.108, the
cowling broke loose on both sides OF
his motor, and he nearly was gassed
by fumes that poured into his cockpit.
Yesterday, the beach was so rough
that half the time his head was
jounced above the level of his wind
shield, the pressure nearly scalplng
him. His goggles were driven down
over his nose and mouth, almost
choking him, he skidded after bump
and swerved badly after another; his
tires we're cut, and the tread was torn
completely from one of them. Even
so, a return run north which he re-
fused to make under the conditions,
would have returned him a new record
if he could have clipped IT seconds
of his southwark time through the
measured mile
So today Sir Malcolm, smiling
gently to all, but very firm, called
halt.
II won't drive Bluebird again until
the beach is considerably better" he
said. THE car is marvellous, feel
fine, but the fact is that while this
beach is grand for average speeds, it
simply won't do at the moment for
Bluebird and a speed of above 270
miles an hour"

Kibitzer's Get After Him.

4 S A result there was a great to-do
n in hotel lobbies as the local au-
thorities quibbled with the only
living man who has driven 200 miles
an hour on land, survivor of 80 years
of racing. They said he drove too
high on the course, keeping away
from the water. and that was the rea-
son why he hit rough spots and lost
at least Is miles an hour through
slippage of his wheels.
Campbell explained patiently that
at 270 miles an hour you get l8 feet
off your course sometimes with great
ease and tremendous celerity.
AS to Bluebirds ability to break
the present record Campbell doesn't
retain a single doubt, given proper
conditions under him.
You don't spend S50,000 on trip
over here unless you know that" he
said. "If Bluebird won't do 275 you
can have her."

A COUPLE of bright young men
~ who can knock a golf ball far
~ and straight out at Congress
sional think golf is due for a
big year in 1885.
Roland r. Mackenzie, the club
pro. back from a tour of the Cali
fornia tournaments and a motor trip
of some 10000 miles, hit his first ball
on the Congressional layout yesterday
since last year, in company with
17-year-old Billy Dettweiler, the long,
lean boy who comes fairly close TO
being tops among the amateurs of
the city.
Both Billy and Roland opined after
their round that maybe there is some
thing to this golf business after all.
They think they will like the game,
after getting around the Congressional
course in IA for Roland and II for
Billy. They even marveled at the
change in the twelfth hole. which
Maj. F. Mackenzie Dawson, mogul of
the Greens Committee, changed
around by playing the hole from the
back end Of the old 1912 tee, making a
carry of about 210 yards necessary
to reach the green. Maj. Dawson
said the change comes about for
personal reasons as well as reasons of
better golf, for his favorite golf
enemy (Harvey L. Cobb cannot hit
the ball far enough to reach that
green, while the greens chairman can
just make it, Therefore" says
Dawson why shouldn't we long
hitters have the edge we are entitled
to have"
Roland has proved a backslider in
his golfing convictions. for last Fall
he turned to the interlocking grip as
the solution of all golf troubles and
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that the grip used by Sarazen and
Ouimet is the best But out on the
Pacific Coast the young man pulled a
muscle in his chest, and could hardly
swing with the interlocking grip.
And would you believe it, I went
back to the old overlapping grip and
I didn't have any trouble at all. One
day played with Page Hufty at Lake
side. near Los Angeles. and did an 81
in the morning. I took lot Of kid
ding from Page, but I went back to
the old grip in the afternoon and
managed to get a &c. That stopped
