set so well with the folks at Chevy
Chase and Columbia. who had the
privilege Of making two blades of grass
grow where one grew before, by the
medium of artificial watering sys-
tens.
How about this stuff of bigger and
better patches Of crab grass because
you water the fairways?" we asked
Dick Watson, the energetic green
keeper at Chevy Chase You've had
three full seasons of experience with
fairway watering. Does it or does it
not promote crab grass to the detri-
ment of other graSses?"
Life Smooth for Watson.
DICK has perpetual grin these
days. He hasn't anything much
to worry about. The brown patch
season is over, the growing season
is over and his worries are all little
ones-like keeping the course in trim
until spring comes along, which isn't
such a tough job. So Dick just
grinned a little wider grin. Nothing
to it." he draWled in his best Edin-
burgh dialect.
Dick is a Scotsman, and
when they get down to the
business of keeping golf
course in top condition Dick
is just that-tOps.

which is just about what he has to

crab grass sometimes we wouldn't
have any fairUay grass at all. That
was the case at one of the better local
clubs last summer. They don't water
their fairways, and they had the
incest stand of crab grass you ever
looked at. Gosh, it was terrible. If
I'd had crab grass like that I really
would have worried But We don't
have it here.
THE good grasses lick crab
grass every time when you feed
'em water enough. 1 guess
that's the answer.
''Those people up at Columbia don't
on their fairways next year, and the
situation will get progressively better,
AS long as you feed the good grasses
they will lick the crab every time" "

Red Sox Are Trying, Anyway.

accomplished. James Joseph Dykes
laid a smoke screen with his big

could see through it Dykes had lured
Outfelder Gerald Walker, Third
Baseman Mary Owen and Catcher
Mike fresh from the Tigers. In ex-
change he gave Vern Kennedy, Tony
Piet and Dixie Walker.
The experts say that Dykes
won. This remains to be seen.
Offhand, he seems to have
gained the edge, but they don't
pay off on experts opinions.
You have to admire Cochrane. He
made the deal because he was willing
to gamble that Kennedy would fur
nish Detroit with the pitching it has
lacked. We hope baseball doesn't get

needs more guys like him. And We
hope Mr.. Cochrane stays in the game

andoah and subsequently with tho
Akron, lost in 1888 off the New Jersey
Coast, Comdr. Rosendahl's testimony
was technically interesting and as
valuable as testimony can be when
actual causes are hidden, as they are
always likely to be in disasters In
volving machines and contrivances still
in a state Of experimental infancy.
OF Swedish descent, he was born
In Chicago. His father, railroad
man. removed the family to Gle
burn, Tex, in 1906, and it was from
this State that young Rosendahl
was appointed to the Naval
Academy in 1910 His assiduous
attention to studies, his scholastic
standing marked him down among
his classmates as "a boner;;" but
"boner" though he might be, his
love OF action was equal to his
scholastic enthusiasm. So 1t was
that, as a teacher in the Naval
Academy in 1922, he volunteered for
training in dirigible navigation at
Lakehurst.
He rode the first Zeppelin, subee-
quently the Los Angeles, across the
Atlantic, and since then his activities,
not only as practical aerial navigator,
but as a spirited advocate OF lighter
than-air craft, in print, on platform
and in legislative chambers, have been
unceasing.

The British know, too, how to change
the content and preserve the form.
The crown, like our own Supreme
Court, Is q symbol Of tradition and
continuity In government. And, apropos

velt was more English and less Dutch,
he would also know when to give in.
He'd be pleased as Punch II a couple
OF designations, OF q switch Of q vote

preserving the traditional procedure.
He would make the most gracious
gesture.
"The English have tngrained in
them two other things: Respect for
personality and deep, probably un-
conscious sense Of legitimacy in gov
ernment. You can make any kind
OF change you like in government,
provided you make 1t inside estab-
llshed principles. That's what legiti-
mate government Is. And the crown
Is the symbol Of that legitimacy. And
because they feel this so deeply there
has been only one revolution in Eng
Land In a thousand years and that
ended in restoration and compromise.

In England OF the British. It was a
great window, storied and painted,
and Cromwell's soldiers smashed it to
bits. And after the soldiers had gone
the people picked up the pieces and
put them back again. There's hardly
a piece of glass as big as your hand,
and the picture which was there could
never be restored but they saved every
inch Of the glass

II they ever established communism.
I can see the London Times. There
would be the court calendar, with
the words, 'Comrade, His Majesty the
King was pleased to receive today
And certainly some comrade would
write in from Great or Little Snoring
to express his surprise that another
comrade had discovered a cuckoo
singing earlier than lark"
1T all sounds little mad"
1T does, indeed" said the Grouse
"And the Mad Halter was an Eng
lishman, the March Hare an Eng

remains the favorite English classic.
The greatest poem any Enelishman
has written to English nationalism
occurs in Rachard II, and there's
nothing in it about power or empire
Instead, it is an ode to this happy
