These figures were compiled today at the park department oftice and released by Superintendent James J. Cur- tin.

 New Record
 Comparative io36 and 1887 fig- ures for the period from May to July 2e also show that this years record will Dc 6 hard one to beat. So far this year there have been i,620 more rounds of golf played at the local course than last year. During 1886, up until this time, 0,672 eighteen hole rounds played and SO far thls year there have been e.i2o. There is an increase Of but @ in regard to nine hole rounds with $500 listed for this year and 6,S27 for last.
 The superintendent gave the growing interest in golf as one Of the main reasons for the increase, the good weather as another and the two starting tees which have eliminated waiting. as still another.
 He also said no didn't want to appear too proud of the popular course by adding to the number of miles but suggested that the mileage was figured on the straight line basis from tee to cup on each hole.
 There were no statistics available in regard to lost balls. records for longest time spent looking for lost balls.

Could Defend Own Laws

| THE FIRST permits the attorney general to intervene in suits involv- ing constitutionality of federal laws This provision would prevent framed-up test cases" in which supposed but not necessarily real adversaries would fight a case of constitutionality through the courts, with the possibility that the side defending constitutionality would build up Q poor record or weak case upon which the Supreme Court would have to act.
 Theoretically the Supreme
 Court decides cases between the government ana persons (the
 court has held corporations to be
 'personS.D
 But in the Burco case In Balti- more, incolving the holding cofn- pany act, trustees of defunct util- ity company questioned constitu- tionality of the holding company act-with John W. Davis appearing for an intervening security hold er"-and the act was defended by another group of security holders whom the government alleged had no interest In defending 1t, The rice cases, at least in early stages, found the federal statute defended by rail- roads which had refused to carry over-quota rice. The new little court bill" allows the government to defend It's own Jaws from the be- ginning.
 Appeal Simplliied
 SECOND, there's provision for di- rect appeal of cases involving con- stitutionality of federal laws from district courts to the Supreme Court. This procedure Skips the Circuit Courts of Appeal. Lawyers say 1t usually takes about Q year to get case through the appeals courts. The Supreme Court now has discretionary power to skip the appeals courts.
 But when the big Electric Bond
 G Share case involving the hold
 ing company act had gone through
 federal district court last January
 and both the government and cor.
 pOratl0n asked appeal to the Su'
 preme Court at once, the court rec
 fused.
 So now the appeals court will not rule on the act before next Novem- Der or December, and the Supreme Court will not make It's decision un- til perhaps May or June-about 0 year later than necessary.
 THIRD, when inJunctions. are sought to bar enforcement of fed- erai law suit must be brought be- fore court of three federal judges, one of whom must be @ circuit judge. This would mean a severe crimp in the old game Of tying up federal laws by seeking injunctions in districts where e judge is notori- ously or obviously prejudiced. FOURTH, appeals by private liti- gants from lower courts would have to be filed in 3 days and appeals to the Supreme Court within 60 days This speeds up justice and prevents "stalling"
