Shea Always Dangerous.

CHEA is no soft spot. The tall Con-

as sound a swinger as there is around
Washington. a lad who can crack
down in the low 70s any time he starts.
He can very we'll become the best
golfer we've seen around Washington
in q good many years and he's getting
stronger and better every day. Maury
Nee hasn't played much golf in the
past two years. Maury plays a right
good end on the foot ball team, but he
has been swinging golf club for the
past two months, they tell us, and the
boy who set an amateur mark OF 81
for the Chevy Chase course four years
ago IS good when he is trying. He'll
try for Georgetown.
Charlie Pettijohn may not be
Is good looking golfer as the
others but he gets there.
Charlie is somewhat of "scram-
bling" golfer, meaning he doesn't hit
the greens as often as the other lads
but how that boy can putt. He's about
as deadly a chipper and putter as
you'll find in many days travel.
Yep, the Hoya's golf prospects are
on the up and up and Georgetown
finally may win that coveted Eastern
league title. They've been cunning
for it q good many years.

ounce. But finally he busted one Of
the glass panes in a library panel,
which showed that he was putting the
punch into his tee shots. Stone has a
unique golf philosophy. He takes 'em
as they come, never getting depressed
by bad break or elated by a good
one. 1t would be the ideal tournament
temperament if he played in tourna-
ments. And how that man can putt!

Al Houghton, former Kenwood and
Virginia Beach pro. has taken over a
golf job at the Hecht Co.. where he
will dispense golf advice and give les
sons in the sports department OF that
store during the Winter. Houghton
also is connected with the Bannock-
burn Golf Club in promotion capac-
ity. He holds the Maryland State
open title.
COLF is on the wane in Maryland.
~ If you can judge by the report Of
the Tournament Committee Of the
Maryland State Golf Association,
which sold only 404 handicap cards
at buck apiece during 1896. They
sold 513 cards in 1885 and 451' in 1884.
But the lack of sale of handicap cards
doesn't mean there was less golf
played. 1t simply means there weren't
as many competitors in the associa-
ton tournaments, for all players in
the tournaments must have handicap
cards.

Hoyas to Visit Florida.

THE Hoya outfit will leave Washing
ton around March 1s. heading
for Miami, Fla, where they will play
the University Of Miami and subse-
quently will get over to Gainesville to
meet the University of Florida and
then over to Winter Park, hard by
Orlando. where they will clash with
the Rollins clubswingers. Matches
with Duke at Durham, N. c.. and an
other match in the Carolinas will
wind up the Easter tour, which will
be the first real golf trip in years for
the Hilltop lads. Last year they were
supposed to make the same trip, but
they only got as far South as Carolina.
But If the prospects are good
at Georgetown this year, have
look at what they'll be next
year.
For in 1888 John Burke, Billy Shea,
Charlie Pettijohn, Billy Dettweiler and
Maury Nee all will be eligible for
varsity golf competition. No youngster
who can't consistently shoot down In
the low 70s will be able to make that
1888 Hoya team, which shapes up as
the strongest ever to represent the
Blue and Gray, not excepting the
teams captained by Maurice Mccarthy
back in 1927 and by rotund Joe Lynch
in 1885, which were plenty good. John
Burke himself will be the well known
tower of strength if you go by the
yarns that percolate through from
Rhode Island about him. John is the
same kid who was licked by Billy
Dettweiler in the 1884 amateur cham
pionship, but since those days John
has come long way. Among other
little matters he has won the Rhode
Island State amateur championship
three years in row and he is today
the State open champion.
For q stretch Of 10 games he
averaged around 20 over the
local courses last Spring and up
in Rhode Island they regard
him as q budding Bobby Jones.

PETERSBURG, Va, April 30.
With thousands of persons pres

burg today dedicated the National
Military Park with dramatic re-
enactment of the Battle Of the
Crater. Despite the stormy
weather of the week, with pour
ing rain and floods, there was a
tremendous crowd on hand for the
ceremonies, the largest crowd ever
assembled in this part Of the
Southland.
It was an enthusiastic, cheering
crowd that watched close to 5000
troops march and countermarch
across the historic battlefield,
charging with fixed bayonet and
giving the full-throated rebel yell"
as rifles cracked and cannon
roared.
The actors in today's drama
were some 1900 Marines, the Fifth
Brigade from Quantico, 700 gray
clad cadets from Virginia Military
Institute, the famous west Point
of the South, and two famous
Virginia National Guard units, the
Richmond Howitzers and Peters

Affected by New
Capital Dispute

Negotiations were actively I'M
der way today, continuing from
last night in an effort to fore
stall a strike of some 600 union
bakers in Washington, whose walk
out would admittedly tie up the
city's big bakeries almost 100 per
cent.
Spokesman for the bakers, rep
resented by Bakers Union No. 118,
said they were still negotiating
with the executive committee of
the Employing Bakers Association,
and that a strike was possible"
unless their demands were met.
More members Of the employers
association discounted the strike
talk, laol1lf the view that q
settlement of some kind will be
reached.
It was the bakers demand for
a wage increase of eight cents to
$1.10 an hour for the day shift
and $3.50 an hour for the night
shift, which precipitated the pres
ent situation. hey are also asking
a weeks annual vacation with pay.
The men said they regarded the
wage increase as the chief issue.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 80
G.N.S0. - Returning from a
good Samaritan" flight, one avia-
tor was killed and smother injured
critically when their jointly-owned
plane crashed in a field at Am
herst today.
C. Beverly Williams, 80, a fur
niture salesman, died of his in
juries and Lawrence Mcclellan,
81, a Curtiss Aeroplane Company
employee, received a fractured
skull.
The two were at the Consoli-
dated Airplane Company testing
field when a plane owned by Cecil
Davis, of Bradford, Pa, landed
and inquired directions to Buffalo
municipal airport.
Williams and Mcclellan imme-
diately took off and led Davis
plane to his destination. Upon
their return, however, they en-
countered a hazy fog and were
observed circling over Amherst
fields apparently in search Of a
landing place.
Suddenly, witnesses said, the
propeller broke into bits and the
plane crashed. Both men seemd
to be working the dual controls
of the ship, according to oseJph
Gangloff, a farmer who saw the
crash.
Mcclellan is the son of the Rev.

indicated that plant life first
emerged from water in the upper
most Silurian period, little less
