- OLF activity at Congressional
now Is on the boom again
with the return to the Cap
~ ital of Roland Mackenzie, the
club pro, who has been in the South
for the past three months: Claggett
Stevens, his assistant. will leave for
Florida the middle of the week to take
care of Rolands affairs at the Ponte
Vedra Club of Jacksonville Beach,
where Roland has the concessions.
Two other Washington pros now in
the South won't be back until around
April /. Bob Barnett. holder of the
Winter job at the Indian Greek Club
of Miami Beach, will be back home
on April /, and Witty Cox, Kenwood
pro, probably won't come back to the
Capital until after the Masters tour
ney at Augusta, which ends April 4.
Immediately after the return
of Cox and Barnett the annual
meeting of the Middle Atlantic
PIG. A. will be held, probably at
Indian Spring.
George Diffenbaugh, Indian Spring
pro, is slated to become president Of
the sectional organization, succeeding
Alex Taylor Of Baltimore. Georges
elevation to the presidency probably
will bring the championship tourney
of the association to Indian Spring.
EDDIE STEVENS, former Manor
- Country Club assistant pro. now
located at Houston, Tex, is sold on
Sam Snead, the current sensation Of
the Winter golf circuit. Eddie played
with Sam while the touring pros were
in Houston, and thinks without any
question he will be the best golfer in
the country within few years, bar
ring none"
HE hits the ball a mile" Eddie
writes. HE played with Lawson
Little the last day of the tournament
and outdrove him from 20 to 80 yards
from nearly every tee. His swing is
very compact and he is a very good
putter. Last, but not least. he has
a marvellous personality, which, as
you know. goes a long way in this
game of golf.
"Just to show you what kind
of a guy he is, after I played
with him he came over to the
practice tee, where I was hitting
few shots, and gave me some
very good tips.
THAT isn't usual for the big shots
to help out an obscure pro. Yes, I
played in the tournament and never
hit the ball better. But had flock
Of three-putt greens and simply
couldn't get the ball into the cup"
Eddie probably will remain at Hous-
| ton. He went there for three months,
but he likes the place and the golfers
like him and he thinks he'll stay.
WILBUR A. TAYLOR has been

youngster making his first swing
around the loop.
And Gene SaraZen picks him to win
the 1887 national open.
Smiling and affable, Sammy hasn't
gotten any Of the grimness of some Of
the pros. He's still the likeable kid
whose performances haven't gone to
his dome. The boy is natural, and
you'll hear lot about him in the pro
golf game in future years.

Difference in Cookers.


7. T. B. asks for the difference be.
- tween the English and the Ameri-
can type of cocker spaniels. The Eng
lish cocker is a larger dog. one that
weighs up to 80 pounds as opposed
to the top limit Of "a pounds in the
American type of dog. The. English
type head is much longer and flatter
than Is that Of the American dog.
Whereas in the American cocker o
good stop Is greatly desired, the Eng
lish dog has scarcely any perceptible
stop, the head resembling more that
of a setter than q spaniel. Those who
have owned both types Of dog say that
the larger dog Is no more efhcient IN
the field than the smaller one.
Neither fire nor flood nor famine
can daunt the courageous dog show
fan. The Huntington, w. Va, Kennel
Club sends out notices that its show
will be held on March 3 and 4 as
scheduled, in spite Of h and high
water. That is the spirit which de-
serves q hand. The show will be SUI
perintended by A. Wilson Bow, Box

22,0DD TO CROWD
NEW YORK DRIVES
Stars of Bowling World to
Shoot for S145,000 but
Title Won't Be Settled.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

NEW YORK, March 3.-A tri-
fling total of $4,000 bowlers, all
of them armed to the teeth, will de-
scend upon this city in the next two
weeks or so with scuppers awash and
fangs barred, ready to shoot on hight for
a piece of the $45 900 in cash money
that the American Bowling Congress
will offer in connection with its an
nual tournament, beginning March l0.
Offhand, I do not know any better
way of describing $4,000 boWlers than
to borrow the happy phrase OF Slgnor
Francisco Albertanti, minister OF
propaganda for the A. B. G.

And that settles that.
A Culture All Its Own.
MOST of the time Signor Aloer-

as bowlers. He calls them "keglers'
or "maple-crasherS. That Is the
honest signor's way of showing that

happy manner and informing whom
soever it may concern that this Will
be the biggest and brightest tourna-
ment that the A. B. c. ever has spon-

SKILL IS AMAZING
Fair D. c. Novice Near-Par
Hitter, Gives Men Great
Fight in Matches.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

A NY woman who can play such
~ a rugged golf course as the A
~ layout at Rock Creek Park In
n IS strokes must be fairly good.
And she must have plenty on the ball
II she can do a stunt like that after
only two years Of playing the game.
Furthermore she has plenty competi-
tive nerve when she makes matches
for few pennies with the topnotchers
among the men who play that course
regularly.
SUCH q feminine golfer b Mrs.
Walter r. Stokes. wife Of the physician
OF that name, and gal who intends
to enter the tournaments Of the
Women's District Golf Association this
year.
We've had good feminine golfers
around Rock Greek Park before
women like Betty Keeler, Mrs. Mae
Hill and Vida Martin. But none of
'em ever came near the scoring of this
newest and most spectacular sensation
Of the game, woman who with only
two years Of play behind her plays
tough little nine-hole course in one
stroke over mems par.
Turns From Base Ball TO Golf.
MRS. STOKES has just joined
" Indian Spring Country Club, and
never has played the course, but she
probably will be promptly drafted for
the club golf team which will play in
inter-club matches during the coming
Spring
Stocky and sturdy, with fine golf
swing acquired under capable instruc-
ton. Mrs. Stokes is regarded at Rock
Creek Park as the best woman golfer
ever developed there. Her husband
once won the small-bore rifle shoot
ing championship of the world and
was rife coach at George Washington
University
What is your athletic background?
What other sports have you played?
Il asked this woman who may become
a real topnotcher in women's golf
around Washington, with little more
experience and practice. We'll,
played base ball, but since I've taken
up golf like it better than any game
I ever have played"
Gives Men Real Battle.
lust to give you an idea; she played
in the turkey tournament last Fall
at Rock Greek Park, in competition
with men and. scored an 80 in the
medal round. She qualified in the
second flight and didn't win it because
in that same flight we're few guys
who should have been in the first
flight. And she lacked match play
experience.
But she plays those same fellows
today for a few nickels a round.
She joined Indian Spring without
ever seeing the course because she
had heard the club has good golf
course and she wanted to belong to a
private club where she can play as
much and as often as she wants TO
play without waiting.
Mrs. Stokes might well become the
top golfer among the girl friends
around Washington. Certainly no
woman of our acquaintance has pro.
gressed so fast in so short a time.

SaraZen in Training.

INCIDENTALLY, Gene has been
training for the Spring tourna-
ments, with the Jones affair at Au-
gusta in mind.
His training didn't do him any
harm either. He paid off the
cost by that Belleair win and
he'll be tough in the coming
affairs.
The real boss of the Winter tour Is
going to be decided at Pinehurst, Au-
gusta and Charleston. Sarazen may
be it, even though Belleair marked his
first win Of any tournament since
1886. But they can't laugh of Hor-

w yHAT kind OF a guy Is this
M Sammy Snead, the young
Wv ster who has been burning
up golf courses from coast
to coast, has good chance to make
the Ryder Cup team in his initial year
of big time golf and is the biggest SEN
sation along the Winter tournament
trail?
Sammy's exploits among the griz-
zled old-timers of the game are par
alleled only by the phenomenal rise
Of Horton Smith back in the Winter OF
1929-30, when the lanky kid from
Joplin, Mo-, won something like seven
tournaments during the campaign
Sammy hasn't won that many. but he
has grabbed we'll over $4,000 in prize
money and he has four or five more big
affairs to play in. His winnings. If
he stays in the groove. may push over
the five-grand mark before the Winter
campaign is over.
Sammy is no burly six-footer who
whacks his way around tough golf
courses by sheer power and strength
of wrist. He's a little guy. standing
around feet inches, which is con-
sidered small in the top flight of pro
golf, where gents like Horton Smith
Vic Ghezzi and Henry Picard tower
up into the stratosphere.
Long Enough Of Tee.
RUT Sammy yields nothing to the
~ long hitters, despite his stature
He whacks those tee shots right along
with the big boys. The other day he
played with Harry Cooper, no short
hitter himself. and outdrove Harry by
as much as 40 yards.
Sammy is "a years old. He was born
May q, 1912. in Hot Springs, Va,
where he grew up and learned the
game as a caddy around that tough
Cascades course.
He gives Freddy Glenn, Hot Springs
pro, most of the credit for his success
in golf. Fred gave me my start when
he offered me a job as clubmaker,'
Snead says.
The youngster never has had golf
lesson. He worked out his own swing,
patterning it after those Of the mas
tiers whom he watched in competition
in Virginia and other hot-spots Of golf
It happens to be one of the sounder
swings in the business of knocking over
brides.
He holds the West Virginia open and
the West Virginia P. G. A. titles. Dur
ing the current Winter tour he has
won the Oakland and Bing Crosby
open tournaments. and has finished
we'll up in the dough In several other
big events, always against the stiffest
competition in professional golf.

Braatz Hits High Mark.

4 LSO, there is fellow named Har-
\ vey Braatz, from Cleveland, who
recently bowled a three-game total
Of 864. the highest mark ever achieved
in competition, with individual game
scores of 276, 300 and 288. The Off
cial record is Otto STEMS, 853
It's difficult to rank the bowlers on
the basis of their showing in the A.
3 c. tournament. because each mans
effort is limited to nine games. Under
such circumstances, great kegler may
never get in his best work None of
the top-flight performers I have men
toned, except Caruana, finished in
the first ranks of the singles and all
events competition in last years tour
nament.
But the tournament Is quite a shin
dig just the same To lapre back into
what Signor Albertanti would call the
statistical sector, there viii be 10000
games bowled in the Sc days of COM
petition. About 1882, 900 balls will be
tossed down the alleys, and the pin
boys, honest souls, will lift approx
mately 1862 tons of fallen pin mat
ter.
In the words of Signor Albertanti,
It will be big.

Real Champion in Doubt.

NF COURSE, it's almost Impossible
" to name the real bowling cha =
pion. Varipapa, though he possesses
something akin to genius when 1t
comes to chopping down those maple
groves, is so busy with his tours and
engagements as trick performer that
he hasn't bothered to compete in the
national match game competitions.
Hank Marino is the match game cham
pion. If you had to make a ranking,
you could do worse, probably, than put
Marino's name on top.
The Milwaukee mauler won his title
from Joe Miller in 30-game match
that followed a series of eliminations.
His point total for the last 10 games
was 2.376, making, as you can readily
see, an average of 237.6 per game.
That's high, to say the least.
Joe Falcaro, once king of the alleys,
still bills himself as the national
match game champion, but he hasn't
defended that title in some years. and
most of the experts consider 1t fairly
null and reasonably void.
Alongside of the men listed above,
you might put the names of Frank
Caruana, who placed fourth in last
years A. B. c. singles and is the
only maple-ravager ever to roll two
successive 300 games in official COM
petition; Allie Brandt, the wee wood
whaler from Lockport, Pa; Ray
Schultz, whom Marino rates as one
of the country's five best bowlers;
Eddie Botten and Jimmy Smith.

WORLD TIN USE
UP IN MARCH

According to statistics just pub
hShed in The Hague Statistical
Bulletin Of the International Tin
Research and Development Coun-
Gil. world apparent consumption of
tin in March 1887, was over 49,
600 tons against $4,000 tons in
the previous month.
The total consumption in the
first quarter of the current year
was 49,432 tons against 1899
tons in the corresponding period
of 1895, and the quantities Of tin
produced in these periods were,
respectively. 44,110 tons and &c.
065 tons.
Thus consumption has been in
excess of production this year by
over 5000 tons. The statistics
indicate. however, that this is due
to restocking by consumers. for
the quantity Of tin used in manu-
facture in the first quarter Of 1887
is given as 1900 tons.
Countries in which tin consump.
ton increased substantially in the
year ended March. 1887. as com
