Who's Goofy NoO?

Washington linksters who
like a mixed Scotch foursome
will be elated to hear that the
Maryland State event formerly
scheduled for August 81 at
Rodgers Forge has been shifted
to Five Farms. Since Five Farms
is known as a championship
course and the best in the Balti-
more-Washington district, the
entries from both cities are ex-
pected to top the 120 starters
out at Manor in the last Mary
land State mixed Scotch event.
The Maryland Association card
and 81 are all that a golfer
needs to play the long-range
Baltimore course in this tourna-
ment.

In the District continues strong.
Indian Spring plays a 35-man
team from Army, Navy at In
dian Spring on Sunday. In addi-
ton, on the regular schedule for
today and tomorrow appears a
notice to the effect that a
'goofy" tournament will be
played at the Four Corners
course. Yesterday golf shop
attendants were completely mys-
titled as to just what a "gooty"
tournament could be. but hoped
to figure out something to come
under that heading in case any
members showed up and asked
to enter.
Congressional holds competi-
ton for the most IS, As and SIS
over the week end; Capital in

When, q Party "Pureed"
A President

FIGHTING soL>a of the Virginia
Legislature and of both the
House of Representatives and the
Senate, <jhn Tyler was elected
vice president of the United
States with popular frontierSman
William Henry Harrison as PreSi-
dent. But exactly one month after
Inauguration Tyler found himself
President, when Harrison died
suddenly on April 4, l84l
So was launched one Of the
rarest presidential careers on rec
ord, 4 career which was TO see
Tyler "purged" at last by his own
party. This is the story:
AS Tar back as JackSon'S term,
Tyler had opposed the generals
course in many matters, notably
the United States Bank. Later, as
senator, he opposed notification
but ondemned Jackson's nullifica-
ton program. In 1884 he made
q report sharply censuring Jack
son for removing deposits from
the United States Bank. And then
he became President and faced the
bank issue once more. Promptly
Tyler vetoed the bill to recharter
the institution.
Congress remodified the measure
pext, partly at Tyler's suggestion,
passed it once more. And again
Tyler vetoed it. Likewise he killed
the measure to revise the tariff.
Thereupon all Of the members OF
his cabinet resigned, except Web
ster. He remained only long
enough TO conclude the Webster
Ashburton treaty. Meanwhile, the
Wings countered with a daring
purge" Of their own leader and
President A public address was
issued declaring that "all political
connection with them and John
Tyler was at end from that day
henceforth.
Tyler retired in l845. He is
shown here on stamp of the new
u. S. regular series, enlarged.
