Feminine golfers of the town are
all set today for another big season
on the golf courses, with what looks
the most impressive schedule of
various events ever laid before the
admiring eyes Of an indefatigable
group OF fair divot- fingers. A COM
plete schedule of three major sec
tional championships, eight major
cup tournaments, nine team matches
and at least two intercity contests
has received the official o. K. of the
Executive Committee of the Women's S
District Golf Association, and now
all that remains is for the lassies of
the links to gear their games in the
competitive groove and start play
ing for cute little cups.
All Handicaps Cleared.
On top of all that the dear gals
have been busy rearranging and
clearing all handicaps of the more
than 200 women who play in the
tournaments and team matches.
That had to be done before the open
ing of the season because of the
change in par ratings of all the
courses authorized by the United
States Golf Association All the
courses have come in for revision of
par, except Woodmont, where the
par of last year-79-Still will hold
good this year.
If you think that hasn't been a
man-sized job for group of women
you should know the work that Mrs.
v. A. Welte, handicap chairman;
Mrs. Pat Winkler and Mrs. c. P.
Tops Medley, last years chairman,
have accomplished in the space OF a
few weeks. They took down their
hair and went to work and today,
we'll in advance of the opening of the
golf season. their big job is over. All
that remains now is to keep close
track of the score cards as they are
turned in during the tournaments,
and revise handicaps accordingly
Yes. they do that, too

Rumor Of Crown Loom
Is Used to Build Up
Cote at Gurden
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-Henry
Armstrong the sad-eyed little Negro
who holds the world light and welter-
weight championships, will balance
the latter crown on his brow tonight
and prance out into Madison Square
Gardens red-roped ring to meet the
assault of Davey Day, a Chicagoan
of undoubted ability against the
second and third raters of the sport.
The hammer is very far from
either category So he is a 1-to-4
favorite to retain his crown in the
l5-round duello and depart for Eng
land and fight with Ernie Roderick
still wearing the coronct. In fact
1t Is 8 to 5 he will dump Day some
where along the route.
Almost all the dodges in the bally-
hoo business have been employed to
build up the fight. These, plus
Armstrong; drawing power as the
greatest little" fighter of his time,
will bring a crowd of about $4,000
into the Garden and gate of $35 900
or so into Mike Jacobs we'll stuffed
cash drawer.
Dodge No. was the rumor, freely
circulated, that Armstrong, after 10
years of fighting was close to the
end Of the trail and that Day had
the stuff to give him running start
In that direction. This didn't stand
up when Henry cut loose in training.
IA krnrHoG f1,rnn WI,
so groggy, Eddie Mead. his circular
manager, went on frantic safari
for more guinea pigs. Nor has Day
reminded any one of Joe Cans.
Dodge, No. 2, was the ancient
wheeze about the title loan" Ac-
cording to the lunatic fringe, the
title was to go to Day for keeping
uncil Henry had discharged his
duties abroad. Mead, one heard,
was afraid of letting Henry in the
foul-conscious British ring against
Roderick while wearing the purple.
This fairly ridiculous idea was
quashed by cooler heads who argued
Henry was going to England, not
Siberia, and that nothing in his
past limited of skullduggery.
The truth is that Day is a good
tourneyman with his hands. A
game. smart fighter, he has won his
last Is in row. He has the chance
any fighter has out of his class-the
chance broken hand. badly cut
eye or a turned ankle may swing
the fight his way. Outside of that
there doesn't seem much hope.
Henry is in fine shape, his timing is
excellent and he has the cool as
surance that comes with experience,
titles and A straight triumphs.
In the opinion of your correspond
ent. who gave you Custer over the
Indians and Goliath over David,
Day will make a fight of it for five
or six rounds and then fade before
the relentless pace and numbing
punching of the mechanical man.
We have Henry as authority. The
little man was encountered busily
splitting infinitives for his new book
GLORY Road" advt. He warned,
you keep your eyes open and see if
I've gone back any. I'm liable to
drop him in your lap
Break it up, bud.

October II and 10.
Three Championships Due.
But hold on, all hasn't yet been
told. Three major championships
come to Washington this year. First
of these is the Maryland title tour
ney at Congressional starting May
l6. Second and most important from
the viewpoint of the golfers of the
town is the District championships
scheduled for Columbia June 1923,
inclusive. The Middle Atlantic Coli
Association title affair will wind up
the major tournament season at the
Washington Golf and Country Club
October 8-l3, inclusive. and the gals
will gather at Columbia on Decem-
Der to choose officers for next year.
So the golf merry-go-round for
the women looks again this year as
if it doesn't need any calliope to
keep it going. Again in 1889, as 1t
has been for several years now.
feminine golf looks like the liveliest
thing in sports way around town.
But this year, with a single excep-
ton, they aren't holding many two
day tournaments. So maybe the
family steak won't be burned rich
and racy brown after all.
Or do you remember the days
when they used to call the stay-at-
homes golf widows?" The widows
are kicking the gong around them
selves nowadays

ledge. We made plans to return to Kotzebue next year to explore the Kobuk section and take sound motion pictures and re- cords of the Eskimo dance music of the Kotzebue Sound area. With our latest and most com plete R. C. A. sound recording unit we plan 10 record all the native music and language in Al aska before it is irrevocably lost in the modern trends of imitat- ing outside civilization.
 The outstanding adventure of the year was the 300 mile trip made by Ed Levin and two King Island boys in a 20-foot Century speed boat into the Arctic Ocean. Over 150 miles were through ice foes and the successful outcome of the feat was to prove Pro- lessor Levin's contention that speed and waiting for weather can conquer the Arctic just as safely as was done last year by the party in a 2000mile oomiak trip around Point Barrow and re turn to Nome, without mishap.
 Father Hubbard is now in Nome taking sound records of King Island dance music and will go outside on the s. s. Denali to begin his usual heavy lecture schedule all over the United States. Professor Levin awaits appointment as head of the Geo. logy Department of the new San Francisco Junior College.
 Appearing this August in the theaters of the world will be the first of a series of short subjects released by 20th Century-Fox under the title Father Hubbard's Adventures. There will be four subjects each year, treating of Alaska subjects. The sound track is dialogue between Lowell Thomas and Father Hubbard.
