STURDY TITLE FOE
New York Sees Chance OF
Facing Packers in Big
PIay.0ff Slim.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

n YEW YORK, December o.
N There is considerable commo-
" ton in cash foot ball circles
4 over the fact that the Giants
of New York, owned and operated by
the bookmaking Mara family. have
good chance of not winning the cham
pionship of the Eastern division OF
the National Professional League.
"Our chance of not winning is so
good that it interferes with my sleep"
says Mr.. Timothy Mara, dean of the
bookmaking Maras.
on the other hand, Mr.. George
Preston Marshall, the laundry king,
dean OF the wet-wash Marshalls, is
highly elated to think that his own
Boston Redskins are in a position to
cop the title.
En- avant!" says Mr. Marshall,
Iapsing into the Gallo tongue.
II the Redskins do beat the Giants
the scrap is scheduled for this Sab
bath-it will be the first time in re-
cent years that the Mara grip on
first place in the Eastern division has
been broken. The bookmaking Maras
have enjoyed monopoly, and a tidy
one. too. of the honors in their cir
cult. They have waxed reasonably
plump on the proceeds of their anti
Sherman activities. They do not much

" v upward surge over the last
decade and q half, women's
golf has shown the biggest increase.
The days when the game was the
exclusive sport Of members Of swanky
country clubs long since has gone,
and golf today Is the democratic sport
Of millions-thousands around WASH
ington in 1885 where mere hundreds
played the game 20 years ago.
Back in 1915 q women's golf organ
ization was formed to foster the bud
ding spirit of competition among the
feminine club swingers Of the Capital.
Mrs. Charles L. Frailey of Chevy Chase
was the first president Of the associa-
ton, and one Of its first champions.
In those far-away days q field Of 30
or IS In . women's tournament was
large. and the dear gals went around
telling each other how the game was
growing and what q good turnout
there had been for the Whoozis Cup.
TO-DAY women's golf around Wash
ington is more active on the
tournament side than golf among the
mere males, and Just as proof of it you
ought to see what the figures of the
women's association show. OF course,
figures is used in the statistical sense,
in case you have q funny turn of mind.
Two hundred and ninety
handicap cards were issued dur
ing 1885, for 29e golfers who
planned TO play In the little
tournaments Of the tremendous
~ strong Women's District Of
Columbia Golf Association, the
outSrowth Of the little orEaniza-

The handicapping system of the as
sociation shows total Of Sill handicap
cards on file, covering the golf activi-
ties Of Sill women over the last IA
years. or since the new association took
over the functions Of the older organ
ization. That gives you an idea Of how
women's golf has grown.
But over and above these figures, II
you look over the records you'll find

age, when you consider that

places the best years of champions
life between Is and 80. But Leo Wal
per, the larruping Bethesda, Md. driv-

one to let expert" opinion divert him
from his chosen ambition.
If there's one guy in the upper
flight Of professional golf who Is de-
termined to 60 places In the game it's
this same Leo Walper. Determination
sticks out all over the imperturbable
pan Of the one-time ambulance driver,
who today stands right around the
crest of professional golfers in the
Middle Atlantic area. And that same
determination isn't all surface stuff,
either. You can have all the determi-
nation and will to win in the world, and
yet you can be licked by some dumb
looking guy with a weak chin, who
happens to have considerable mechan-
ical ability and the knack Of making
the right shot at the right time.

WALPER'S determination carries
itself to practical lengths. No

herdstown, w. Va. Your ordinary pro
spends q half hour on the practice
tee and calls it q day. But no such
sissy stuff goes for Walper
He spends hours and hours on the
practice tee, at least two hours a day,
getting the feel Of those woods and
irons. And when he has a spare half
hour you can find him around the
putting green, knocking down the
puts that have put him up in the
forefront of the campaigning pros
The guy is a horse for work, and he
has the equipment of q horse. Leo

vors creation Of a nonpartisan

Governor Landon is deeply con-

ing fabulous sums Of Government
bonds in Federal Reserve and

HOLSTER said:
II was particularly interested
to talk over with Governor Lam

q basic study of all Of our Fed

In addition, experience has
shown us that there are many

ton.
"Such q commission might
very well be patterned after the
Aldrich commission Of q quarter
Of q century ago, which studied
the banking problems of the
country for several years, and
out Of whose deliberations the
Federal Reserve System arose."
HOLSTER said he also discussed

NEW YORK, July 81 G.N.S0.
Expressions of confidence came
today from headquarters Of both
the Republican and Democratic
parties, with the former claiming
q fighting chance" to carry
States hitherto considered doubt
full territory" and the Democrats
denying they had injected re-
ligious issues into the campaign.
Representative Joseph w. Mar
tin, of Massachusetts,, Eastern
campaign manager for Gov. Al
fred M. Landon, returned from a
tour Of New England and Penn
sylvania with the declaration Gov
ernor Landon has a real fighting
chance" in Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Florida and will sweep
New England and Pennsylvania.
OF the Southern trio he said:
81 don't want to claim them,
but 1 do say we have a fighting
chance. We will make a real
fight in those States"
On the Democratic side, Ma
tional Chairman James A. Farley
attacked the injection of religious
or racial prejudice into the presi.
Dental contest. Questioned con-
corning reports of a whispering
campaign, Farley said:
'"NOt a word of truth in it.
That's not the way we run q
campaign. Why should inject
any religious issue into a ma
tiOnal political campaign? /
don't do things that way"
Concerning the recently con-
cluded Townsend convention in
Cleveland, Farley said:
Nothing happened in Cleve-
land in any way to damage the
Democratic situation"

REPORTS SHOW
FARM DRIFT
T0LAND0N
By EARL GOODWIN

If the reports which the Cover.
nor Landon headquarters are put
ting out daily are correct indica'
tionS, there is a strong farm drift
away from Roosevelt to Landon,
which political sharps here say
will be the center of the campaign
in the farm States from the Rock
les eastward to the AlleghanieS
and in the northern tier. These
States are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Iowa, Missouri. the Dakotas, Ne
braSka, Colorado and Kansas.
Republicans claim the East;
Democrats here say the G. o. p
must also have these farm States
to elect Governor Landon. The
Democrats are preparing a cam.
paign which they feel will reelecl
President Roosevelt. Thus, with
an unprecedented labor organiza.
ton working for President Roose.
welt in the East and in all indus
trial centerS, the hope of the
Roosevelt campaign managers is
to retain the strength of a farm
labor vote which will carry enough
electoral votes to reinState the
New Deal.
Farm drift to Governor Landon
is explained by farm experts who
watch politics. They give the fol.
lowing reasons:
First - Traditional Republican
sentiment. There has been a
strong leaning toward the G. o.
p. in many sections for many
years. 'The old family tug" is be-
ing felt, as one farm expert ex-
planned it.
Second-The strong effort the
Republican campaign is making
to arouse interest in the Repub.
1ican farm program which is
looked on as progressive, and in
many respects "as good a vote
getter as the Democrats had four
years ago."
Another reason for the daily re.
ports of farm drift away from
President Roosevelt, according to
farm politicians here, is that the
Democratic campaign has not yet
started and will not start for sew.
eral weeks. There are certain
political secrets which the Demo
Gratis are keeping to themselves
about this Midwest farm cam
paign on which they base their
hopes Of carrying the Middle
West for their candidate.
They realize that they have a
tough fight; they realize that
Governor Landon is exceptionally
acceptable to millions of farm
people; and that Col. Knox is
looked on as a middle weSterner.
There seems to be no chance
that the farm campaign will be
run from New York by Chairman
Farley and his publicity chief,
Charles Nicholson.
There have been discussions
here lately as to what effect on
the farm vote the changed posi-.
ton of George Peek will have.
Mr.. Peek, first AAA administrator
and reputed to have great strength
with the farmers, is now more of
O Landon man than otherwise;
but he has not gone "hook, line
and sinker" for the Republican
candidate.
