Eight new records were set last

A hint that even the sensational

STEVENS IS MADE

Claggett Stevens, the lanky Rock
vile, Md, youngster, who has served
at Congressional under Tommy and
Sandy Armour and Roland MacKen-
Zie, will leave the Capital late this
week to take over the Summer berth
at Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville Beach,
Fla. where he spent the month of
March as the successor to Mackenzie
when Roland left Florida to come
home. Claggett will remain at Ponte
Vedra until December /, when Roland
will leave Washington to take over
the post at Jacksonville Beach for the
Winter.
1t all sounds screwy to the North
ern mind, that any Florida club in
Summer should be good golf 'berth.
But Jacksonville Beach is one of the
outstanding Summer resorts of the
South, along with Daytona Beach,
and the Summer job at Ponte Vedra,
according to Mackenzie, is real
professional job, with hundreds of
people playing the course weekly.
"Claggett will have a fine post there
at Ponte Vedra next Summer" Ro-
land said
MACKENZIE took over the Ponte
A Vedra post early this year and
remained there until late in February,
when Stevens succeeded him for the
preston did the Stevens boy make
that the Jacksonville people wanted
him back and when Roland recon-
mended him for the post it was given
him. Claggett also will take over the
golf concessions at Ponte Vedra for
the Summer.
The Stevens boy is one of the best
of the younger group of golf pros
about the Capital He served his ap-
premiership under the Armours at
Congressional and has been assistant
to Mackenzie there the past three
years. A good golfer. he has had
many rounds at Congressional under
70. For the present Roland will not
hire an assistant pro, but if one is
needed he will take on a successor to
Stevens when the playing season gets
well under way.

Belgian Horse Believed
Oldest of Pure Breeds

With the exception Of Merino
sheep, the Belgian horse probably
can claim to be the oldest pure
breed in the world, says the Mont
real Herald.
Records show that draft horses
have been bred pure in the Flem-
iSh lowlands of Northern Europe
since ITO A. D. While they have
not always been as heavy as they
are today, the Flemish horses have
served to carry knights in armor,
pull chariots of war, and take part
in fiat races, as well as cultivate
and harvest crops. It is even re-
corded that some Belgians have
been noted for their speed and en-
durance, and some speeds recorded
100 years ago or more are very
creditable.
OF the three well-known British
draft breeds, the Clydesdale, the
Shire, and the Suffolk, the first two
owe much to occasional infusiOns of
blood of the Flemish horse during
recent centuries. AS long ago as
the Fifteenth century the Flem-
ish horse had it's well-muscled, close
knit body, but it's legs at that time
were presumably much finer than
they are today.

"Feather in Your Cap"

The phrase, feather in your
cap" means that something is an
honor to you. The allusion is to
the very general custom in Asia
and among the American Indians
Of adding feather to the headgear
for every enemy slain. The ancient
Lycians, and many others had a
similar custom, and 1t Is still usual
for the English sportsman who kills
the first wOodcOck to pick out a
feather and stick it in his cap. The
custom in one form or another
seems to be almost universal. In
Hungary at one time none might
wear a feather but he who had
slain a Turk, and 1t will be remem-
bered that when Gordon quelled the
TAPPING rebellion he was honored
by the Chinese government with
the yellow jacket and peacOck's
feather"
