Private Clubs Not Aided.

A ND one of the angles of the w.
P A. golf work is that no club
dues or initiation fees are permitted
for play on w. P. A.-financed projects,
which puts the courses definitely in
the municipally-oper class and
prohibits privately-operated layouts
from getting a slice of the money.
Another angle. according to Ed
Burns of Rock Creek Park, is that
Washington has come in for the
magnificent sum of little more than
5000 in this largess from the Federal
Government on golf course construc-
ton. Maybe they used it to build
parking spaces for automobiles at
East Potomac Park and Rock Greek
Park. They certainly couldn't get
very far on golf-course construction
with 800 bucks, the way it costs to
build a divot-flinging paradise for
buffers.

to become wealthy from his syndicate
work. He has something like IS or

field is limited, he won't get wealthy
peddling news at that rate.
RUT the big point of the whole in
cident is that Bob and the p. G.
A. can't very we'll get along without
each other. Bob is the essence and
soul of the P G. A. its most ardent,
booster, and the guy who pulls tc3T-
nament money into the pockets Of the
pros.
No man in the game is as
well known as the roly-p0ly
Harlow. and the players swear
by him.
The whole thing seems screwy TO
us, for as Damon was to Pythias, a
nose to a hound and a bullet to a
rife, so is Harlow to the P. G. A. One
can hardly get along without the
other.
Four years ago the p. g. A. fired
Harlow and got Francis Powers, a
Chicago newspaper man, to run their
tournaments. Francis did a good job,
but he didn't have the contacts Har-
low had. Bob organized tournament
golfers association. just as he has
threatened to do again. and drew the
support of a flock of top-notch pros,
just as he Is doing now in the latest
rumpus.
For a time the ruckus threatened
the very solidarity of the P. G. A.,
just as the present incident threatens
it again, but the dove of peace how
cred gently over st. Petersburg, where
Bob was wintering, they kissed and
merry business of Turing between
$50 900 and 100000 in cash into the
pockets of the pros via the tourna-
ment racket.
He did good job of it, too,
and the tournaments never
have been quite as successful
as they have been with Harlow
doing the promoting.
A FTER all, the tournament play
ers aren't interested in the in
terpal politics Of the p. G. A. What
they want is bigger and better tour
naments with more money in 'em.
And no man has done more to bring
the heavy dough into the tournament
game than rotund Robert. Nor are
the newspaper men interested In the
politics Of the professional golf or
ganization
They like to have Harlow around
at q tournament, for he can tell 'em
out Of his memory the facts on any
man of the moment" what he has
won, where he was born, the color
of his false teeth and where he
spends his Sundays. Robert has been
around so long and knows so much
about the pros that the newspaper

Municipal Improvements.


A S EXPLAINED by w. P. A. Off
cial, requests for funds to be used
on golf projects do not come to the
Government as requests for golf alone.
They come as requests for municipal
Improvements, which include public
golf courses; but however they come
s12,o00,oo0 spent on golf courses is a
right tidy little piece of change.
But the work is Stacking down now
and the 800 figure spoken of so glibly
possibly never will be reached. For
most Of the money spent by the
w. P. A. on public golf course prof.
ects-S9.359,6 500 of it-was spent in
1885 and on 306 separate projects.
Up to october 81 this year only 81
additional golf courses had been
started, involving an expenditure by
the Government of an additional
S1,234,428. Local sponsors added in
1885 the sum of S1,454,436 and up
to October 81 had added $1,696,8 1874.
The total amount from w. P. A.
sources and from local sponsors on
public golf courses financed partially
by the w. P. A. up to October 81
last is S12,29o,961.
The funny part of it all is that
even though the new courses will
result in more professional jobs, the
pros themselves aren't overly tickled
with the new set-up. They should
be, for anything that benefits the
game benefits them.

Huston Confers
With Ruth, Then
Goes South
BY STAN LOMAX

NEW YORK, Oct. Tt was re-
ported here today that Col. Til
Huston has bought the Brooklyn
Dodgers, or agreed to, and that
Babe Ruth will be the Flatbush
Field leader next summer.
That story has been heard be-
fore. Every time there's talk of a
Dodger sale, Colonel Huston's
name is mentioned as one Of the
parties of the second part. But
seemingly there's something to it
this time.
The colonel conferred with Babe
Ruth last night, disappeared from
his hotel suite for three hours,
and then boarded a train for the
South, leaving Mrs. Huston and
his daughter here in New York.
The story is that he made a
hurried trip south to complete
banking arrangements. A visitor
at the Yankee victory celebration,
Ruth was noncommittal. He said
he'd seen and talked to Colonel
Huston but asked to be allowed
to let it go at that.
Incidentally, the Babe was ten
dered the biggest and most spon-
taneous ovation at the Yankee
party.

The loss of Turner just before a
major game comes as a blow to
the Colonials. Not only is Turner
potent as a ball carrier, but he is
a smashing defensive player, cap
able against passes or a running
game.
Jim Pixlee has gone to work re-
placing Turner. He will start
Herb Reeves at fullback against
the Rebels, and the rest of his
backfield will be comprised of
George jenkins, joey Kaufman
and Lou Carroll.
It goes without saying that the
new pet of the cheering section,
Vic Sampson, one Of the slippery
hipped halfbacks of the year, will
be back there Juggling leather for
a while. 1t is likely that Samp-
son will be held on the side lines
until Pixlee has had a chance to
size up the Ole Miss offensive
and defensive. Then he will cut
loose his hall-carrying ace.
Neat Punting
A highly interesting develop
ment in the Terp-Colonial Scrim-
mage was the punting drill of
the latter. The name of Ray
Hapes has spread abroad. He is
known as a shadow, dancing over
the grass and sliding wraith-like
through the fingers of tacklers.
He is a man who cannot be given
an inch lest he abuse his privi-
leges and impose upon conces-
sionS.
The entire George Washington
punting staff devoted all of its
allotted time to shaving the side
lines. 1t is an everlasting cinch
that not even Hapes can run back
a kick that he never touches.
That's just stating facts.
joey Kaufman played a whale
of a game for George Washing
ton against the Terrapins and
so did Vic Sampson. One of the
pleasant developments in the
spirited Scrimmage was the for
ward passing attack of the Co
lonials. The ball whirled into
the flat and into designated
areas all over the field. A good
many were successful, despite the
high grade defense put up by
Maryland.
Maryland mingles with North
Carolina on Saturday, but its
efforts were concentrated largely
on defense. For a while the
Terps took over the leather and
moved along nicely. There is a
pleasing bit of power on that
Maryland team, and on its show
ing yesterday; brief as it's often
sive drill was, there is cause for
optimism against the TarheelS.
Last year North Carolina was
considered a strong possibility
for Rose Bowl honors.
