OGER PEACOCK won't be
around the big golf tourna-
ments very much this year.

- around the big golf tourna-
ments very much this year.
The District amateur cham
pion of 1882 and 1885, one of the finest
simon pures ever developed around
Washington, and a SHOEMAKER who
ranks with any amateur in the land,
hasn't swung a club more than twice
since last Fall and he doesn't artici-
pate that he'll be able to do much in
golf until June or thereabout-if then
Roger is married man now with
little family and he finds that golf
has TO take back seat in the Pea
cock scheme of things. But the main
drawback to his link activities this
year will be his law studies. Yep,
Roger is studying to be barrister and
no budding young lawyer ever took it
more seriously than does Roger as he
pores through precedents and rules
OF objections and other legal pro-
cedure
He married a lawyers daughter.
Mrs Peacock was Mary Shields,
daughter of one of .Washington's we'll
known attorneys, and it's natural
enough for Roger to study law.
But it raises hob with his
golf game and probably will
continue for a couple more
years
Sure, he has job in the Treasury
department, where he works for Ad-
mlral Peoples in the Procurement
Division, but between his Office du-
Ties IN the daytime and his studies
at night he doesn't have much time
to click golf balls off the face of his
big driver.
He hardly has touched a club since
november, and in two appearances at
congressional did not score with the
old-time ease that made him the most
feared single figure among the local
amateurs since 1882.
RUT don't let any one tell you that
Roger Peacock is through as
golfer. Give him two weeks of prac-
tice and he'll be as good as ever, even
IN those days when he was shooting
62s over that tough Indian Spring
course.
Rogers swing is so good, his game
such natural one, that he needs only
minimum of practice to get it back
in scoring trim
1t is not likely that Roger will be
around when the firing starts for
Johnny Fischer's amateur champion
ship at Portland, Greg, next August.
A trip like that costs money and Roger
isn't in the bracket yet where he can
lay three or four hundred bucks out
to play in golf tournament.

The problem for the tracks to figure
is whether they need most the poll
ticians or public opinion? If racing
is to survive, it is our guess that pub
lie opinion is the biggest asset. Let
the tracks combine and get a car as
both base ball and the movies did
when threatened. Cut the mutuel
take, put in officials whose word is
law. Let the spongers, dopers, "fixers''

remains that If the District should
