that it is firmly convinced that an

However, representatives of the
states which met at Brussels believe it

pears that the city of Washington

twice as much as Stokes. couldn't do
much about hitting a golf ball either.
But ALI has improved In fact his
improvement has been more or less
colossal, to fall into a Hollywood by
word.
He won the Walter johnson trophy
a few weeks ago with gross score of
81, which at once evoked a challenge
from Pop" Steward. and also caused
Jack Daily to sit up and make paving
gestures
But the main effect Of Pauis
improvement was that he lost
playmate.
Stokes Sammons, awed by the i'm
provement of his former rival, has
virtually given up the game. And Alt
goes on to bigger and better things in
golf. The boys are waiting for the
day he cracks 40 for nine at Con-
gressional now. And so is the Mary
land Liquor Commission, for when Al
begins buying champagne cocktails he
does it in big way. But all of that
is far from golf.
I IL 1ANb d4puI4u " lIlS pclII. We
saw not so long ago a golf match
to stop all golf matches. 1t was
between two estimable gents who were
making their first attempt at this
sissy game they'd heard so much
about. Forty-odd years ago they
played base ball and they'd read and
heard about golf, but they hadn't
played it. So Dutch Bergman and
Dutch Ebert whom you've heard about
in connection with foot ball, took EN-
out to Congressional for their maiden
venture at this sissy game. The names
of these young-old men were William
w. Keeler and Bernard Ladd Both
were members Of Lodge l74. Machin-
lists Union, and both had recently
been retired from the Washington
Navy Yard. Bergman and Ebert,
laughing the while, fitted them out
with clubs and shoes and balls and
forth they hied.
And it would have done the
heart of any duffer good to see
these two venerable men hack

Shore -MOorhead Match Odd.

ONE of the strangest matches of
all took place yesterday when
Shore eliminated Tommy Moorhead
1t looked a rout as Shore took
the first set at love. The situation re-
verSed itself completely when Moor
head took the second set at love. But
then began ding-dong set in which
no player ever had a lead of more
than one game and in which the score
was tied nine times before Shore eked
out an 1l-9 decision. Games went
with service until the fifth, when
Moorehead broke Shore. From that
point games went against service IA
successive games until Shore won his
own in the nineteenth. Moorehead
fought of two match points before
succumbing in the twentieth.
Another close battle resulted in the
second quarter faals of the day before
Latona nipped Allie Ritzenberg, l1-9,

defeated his second seeded opponent
in two matches. having beaten his

OF Tennis Serve

semi-f1nals doubles encounter against
Stan McCaskey and Stan Robinson,
Welsh didn't lose single point on any
OF the five occasions which he served
during the match. His service usually
resulted in a weak return and a place
ment by either himself or Latona. It
gave the winners 5 of the u games
