Chevy Chase Affair Opens.
Privileges of Chevy Chase Club will
be extended today and tomorrow to
all competitors in the club invitation
tourney. which opens Wednesday
with an 18-hole qualifying round.
Levi Yoder of Kenwood, always a
fast starter in the spring, again looms
as the man to whip, on the strength
of his showing in the Washington
Golf and Country Club affair last
week, which he won.
Yoder didn't win with ease, however.
He went to the 10th hole to lick Vol
ney Burnett in the semi-final and he
beat his flnal-round opponent-W. r.
McCallum-only on the 18th hole:
Yoder hasn't yet swung in his usual
low-scoring stride, but he will be better
at Chevy Chase.
The guy has lot on the ball
and can play well enough to
win almost any match in which
he starts, against any opposi-
ton.
lac has tile kndck OF coming through
with the winning shot when nothing
but perfection will do, as witness that
2O-foot sloping putt he holed on the
18th green at Washington Friday to
keep his match with Burnett alive.
That was the hardest putt I ever
holed," grinned Levi. land I was
plenty lucky" But the point is the
putt went in. Champions hole EN-

FROL|C, SASSY TOO
Fleet of 40 in Races on
Potomac Handicapped by
Light Winds.
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

Potomac sailors reached the half
way mark in their weekly series OF
races yesterday off Hams Point with
little let-up in the light and variable
winds that have persisted this spring.
Forty entries in six classes drifted
over a tWo-lap course of miles, in
stead of the originally intended three
laps, in the third event of the Potomac
River Sailing Association.
Slipping out in front at the start,
Charles Dodge in the Nandua led
the comet fleet of 10 boats, including
the champion Sassy Too of Werner
Smythe, who took third Although
placing second. more than a minute
and half ahead of Sassy Too, Bill
White in his Frolic was protested by
Smythe for failure to respond to huff.
Cricket III Shows Way.
Another leader, Judge Prentice Ed
rington's Lady Avon, gave way to the
superior craftsmanship of H. c. Bush
in the Cricket II. The two boats of
the 20-foot restricted class were close
throughout the race.
The peewee moths again We're led
home by the slippery Rush Too of
Tom Stokes from Georgetown Uni
versity. The Miami sailor was more
than minutes ahead of the next
boat, Jack Babcock's indigo Under.
Light going was too much for the
larger handicap boats Of class A and
only two completed the course. Harry
Humfield sailing the sloop Spray was
first. TWO minutes astern was George

Some time ago Bob Barnett, the
smart pro at Chevy Chase Club, cut
loose with . bright idea about golf
tournaments. Instead of three or
four separate invitation affairs" said
Bob, why don't four or five clubs
get together and stage one tourna-
ment a year, rotating among all OF
them, with each club dumping about
$3.50 into a pot to go for prizes and
entertainment. In that way we'd
have one big tournament every year
and 1t would really be a big one and
q good one"
Bob's suggestion has come up again
with renewed emphasis on the part
Of Ralph S. Fowler, District Coli
Association prexy, who is heartily in
favor Of such tournament.
Il think it would be fine" says
Ralph, land instead of several small
tournaments we'd have one big one
with large entry list and a gener-
GUS bunch Of prizes. Further, each
club would hold it only once every
four or five years, depending on how
many clubs were in the coalition.
1T sounds good to me. but prob
ably the main objection to 1t would
be that some clubs would want to
hold separate tournaments of their
own. I'm in favor Of more tourna-
ments, but under such scheme we'd
have one big one every year and it
would avoid the possibility Of con-
f1ict of dates
Let's see how it would work out this
year.
The Washington tourney Is
over and Chevy Chase comes
up with another big one this
week, with around l25 entries
competing for the Taft and
Sherman trophies.
Under the Barnett plan only one
tourney would be held. which would
be all right with us. We're still sort
OF frazzled with that constant round
OF tournaments of a few years back.
1t takes long time to recover from
them and a guy who wants to play
in them all either has to give up his
business or his family.
One big tourney year would be
OK. Even the golf reporters would
like to see such an arrangement.

 While the total amount of elec- tr;city turned from the generators of the steam and hydroelectric star tions does not exactly measure the actual amount of electricity used. due to 8 variety of factors. 1t does reflect with substantial accuracy general variations in the. demand for power. and light during the period named. The decrease was due to a large degree to q lessen- ing of industrial requirements for power, since the household use Of electricity for light, heat and pow CT to operate domestic appliances has not only been holding up well but has actually been advancing over last year K

 It concerns the exciting story of daring newsreel men who face death daily to bring the events of the world to the motion picture screen. You'll get permanent thrill from these men who live on thrills, as you follow them into battles in the Orient; as Miss Toy, as an aviatrix, pilots Gable above 8 blazing liner at sea to film the disaster; as giant planes roar into the wildS of South America to rescue a stranded avia- tor and through all this runs a tempestuous ree-cornered TO- nance with Gable, Walter Pidgeon and Miss Loy as its principals.

 Since residential , employment of electricity has maintained a stead fly increasing pace, downward trands. such as that, shown for the fifst three quarters of 1888, are now caused only by changes in the demand for industrial and conner cial purposes.

editor of The Review of Reviews in London, came to visit the Worlds Fair in 1893 and wrote his book, If Christ Came to Chi cago."
 MT. Stead sometimes dropped in at the Workingmen's Exchange to gather data on conditions in the First Ward. Out of his visit to the city grew 8 reform wave, the birth of the Civic Federation and later of the Municipal Voters League.
 MT. Coughlin later opened the Silver Dollar Saloon in Madison Street, said to be named in honor of William Jennings Bryan's 16- to-1 political theory in 1896. About 1901 he sold his last bathhouse after giving up the saloon, and went into the banking and in- surance business.
 The Ref0rmers
 The reformerS made periodic onslaughts, but each time "The Bath' and ''The Hink" went ser- enely on their way. Before elec- tions the faithful marched through the ward carrying ban- ners, Live and Let Live" At his meetings, MT. Coughlip was wont to remark:
 "When see a reformer I put my hand on my watch. If the M V. L. indorsed me, would lose the; First Ward" 7at. if-
 The First Ward Club from the start gave aid to its members helped them along when needy got jobs for them, and the organ iZation never slept. Before the turn of the century the reform wave had control of the City Council, and the old crowd had a diminishing importance, except in votes.
 Courted by rival political groups in every election ,'@The Bath" and 'The Hink" had 8 hand in the selection of judges, States at- torneys and other office holders.

 meet
 Dear midnight of love, your face
 is so sweet.
 Pure as the angels above, surely
 again we will speak;
 Loving only as doves, dear mid-

 This lyric outburst, followed by "Ode to a Bowl of Soup" and other ventures in verse, brought ''The Bath" more publicity per- haps than his screaming waist coats and plaid checked frock coats. He became one of the most widely publicized Aldermen in the country.
