25-Cent Dividend
Voted by General
Fireproofing Co
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 22-Directors
Of General Fireproofing Co., Youngs-
town, Ohio, maker of steel Office fur
nlture, today declared q quarterly
dividend of 25 cents share on COM
mon stock, payable April l to holders
of record March 20. In the previous
quarter the company paid 10 cents a
share plus an extra Of 80 cents.
Evening star., 1937-03-22

Thus it is seen that, even looking on
the gloomy side of things, an increase
in operating costs of as much as 25 per
cent would fall far short of spelling
disaster for the utility industry, despite
rigidity Of rates charged for great
part of their business.

Fischer Prevails In Gale.

IN CASE you don't remember, John
of the Fischer clan licked John Of
the Goodman heritage at Garden City
last September in a 50-mile gale that
romped over the fiat country of Long
Island like a debutante at her first
party. The rain laid out fiat, in
sheets. Goodman topped a couple OF
tee shots. and Fischer sprained an
ankle. But lanky John beat stockv
Goodman. and that was that. except
for the little detail of winning the next
day. which came to Fischer ON tha
wings Of golf miracle.
I can't imagine John Goodman
three-putting as many greens as
Fischer did in the final. nor could
ina gine Goodman shanking pitch shots
as Fischer did. In our book Bill Rich
ardson Is on the right track when he
proclaims John Goodman as the rank
ing amateur of the United States,
even though Fischer is the champ.
Conditions were such on that dread
full day" says Richardson. that VIC
tory easily might have gone the other

SLIGHT Of H0YAS|
PITTS BOOMERANG

Fail to Hold G. u.
, GEORGETOWN waited

~ GEORGETOWN waited until
Pittsburgh had inserted its
first team to start on the way
to its first victory of the sea-
son in the Eastern intercollegiate
Basket Ball Conference at Tech High
last night.
Whether they regarded it as a slight
on their ability or not, when DR.. H. C.
Carlson disdained to use his regulars
in the first half, the fact remains that
the Hoyas looked like an entirely diff
ferent ball club against Pitts first
team in the last 20 minutes of play,
when they rallied from seeming de-
feat to hang a 30-to-27 sinner on the
hitherto undefeated leaders in confer
ence play.
Sluggish and apparently content to
let the visitors subs hold the upper
hand once they had overtaken an early
Georgetown lead, the Hoyas appeared
spiritless and ragged throughout the
first 20 minutes of play, which ended
II to l3, with Pitt in the lead.
Regulars Spur G. U.
NO SOONER had the second half
started, however, with Pitts big
five of Rowe, Loucks, Fabel, Lindsay
and Spotovich, in the game than
Georgetown-rejuvenated itself by the
insertion of Don Gibeau, Harry Bassin,
Tommy Nolan and Hank Bertrand
started on the road to glory. A field
goal by Bertrand left the Hoyas on the
short end of l5-to-17 count, a foul by
Gibeau left them l behind and a snow
bird by Basin gave them a 1-point
lead.
Georgetown didn't always hold the
lead after that as Pitt took the lead
at 1918 and 21-2O, but when Nolan
sank long one that put G. U. ahead
at 24-23, the Panthers were done for.
In the last three minutes of play, when
they were four points ahead, the Blue
and Gray quintet put on one of the
cleverest passing displays seen here
this season in keeping the ball away
from their foes, an exhibition which
ended only when Mike Petroskey, who
otherwise played great game, foolish
ly took long shot at the basket.
H0yas In Fifth Place.
The victory left G. U. in fifth place
in the conference standings, but re-
duced Pitt to tie for the lead with
Carnegie Tech. each team having won
two out Of three.
1t marked Georgetown's second de-
feat in as many years of the team that
has won the conference championship
three times in the last five years.
Georgetown visits Pittsburgh for re-
turn game with the Panthers on

Dick is on the way farther South
and probably will take In some of the
Miami tournaments. where he should

golf around Miami this Winter doesn't
seem to be red-hot.
M. A. Team Matches Likely.
THE Middle Atlantic Golf Associa-
ton probably will accept an
invitation from the Country Club Of
Virginia to stage renewal Of its team
matches over the Richmond course
next Fall. The invitation came from
Charlie Withers. team captain at the
Country Club: from E. D. Hotchkiss
and from Bobby Cruickshank, pro at
that club.
Twenty years ago those team
matches were big affairs, generally
held around Washington, but invi-
tation tournaments took their place.
The last team match, held at Colum-
bia in 1921. drew three teams, all from
Washington, and they were aban-
doned.
Another development OF the Middle
Atlantic meeting was a request from
James A. Cosgrove, golf chairman at
Manor, for the 1899 Middle Atlantic
championship at the Manor Club.
Since that Is Manor's invita-
tion tournament year, the Nor
beck club probably would cancel
its invitation affair to concen-
trate on the Mid Atlantic.
The 1888 tourney probably will go
to the Pennington Country Club at
Charlottesville, Va, where Erie Ball
will take over the pro duties shortly.
Congressionals board OF governors
will meet next Monday to choose a
president and to act on the proposal
to add another nine holes to the clubs

Robert P. Smith, president of the
club. drew up the scheme for the new
nine, and if the new board acts favor
ably on the expansion plan he may re-
elected for a second term.
Along with the construction work. it
Is planned to add approximately $50

Muggsy's sentiments synchronized

JACKIE and Lew both concentrated

their best efforts. The rhythmic

Golf is growing at steady,

IS per cent. Many who formerly felt
they could not afford the game now
are playing it regularly and finding
It no more expensive than ticket to
q good foot ball or base ball game, or
many other forms of sport and enter
tainment.
The game not only is turning out
more golfers, but better ones as well.
There are more players shooting In
the 80s today than ever before in the
history of the game. There are several
reasons for this rise in the quality OF
NAV. The competitive spirit is growing
keener among the club members ano
many golfers are taking their games
more seriously and taking more lessons.
