Doerer Is Given Job
To RevitaIize D. T..
Muny Links Golf
Capitol Representative
Will Conduct Title
TussIe in July

Washington is not going to be the
neglected step-child of public links
golf when the time rolls around next
summer for the national public links
championship. Tommy Doerer, East
Potomac Park dynamo of the game,
has been named public links repre-
sentative and will handle the Dis
trict municipal championship in
July and the sectional qualification
rounds for the national champion
ship. Since the national will be
staged at Baltimore it was prac-
ticaily necessity that Washington
have public links representative
this year, for Dave Herman. who
served four-year hitch in that post,
resigned last month. For Doerer it
is Well-merited honor. because the
chunky little public links representa-
tive has been the handspring of NIL
nicipal golf around the Capital since
S. G.. Leoffler coaxed him more than
a year ago to join the Leoffler Or
ganiZation.
May Be Headache.
Tommy himself realizes the job is
not altogether joy and a constant
round of fun, but he is willing to
take it to help golf on the public
courses. Il realize I'll have few
headaches and maybe some heart
aches" he said today But I'll give
it all I have. And III try to run the
coming championship right. After
all it is a big job, and will take a lot
of time"
Following the opening of the driv-
Ing range at East Potomac Park to-
night. where several of the better
known pros will appear to vie for
s25 in prizes, Doerer plans a special
driving competition for amateurs on
the evening of May 3.

Hoya Linksmen Meet
Real Fest Against
Duke Monday
BrowneII Comes Home
To Match Skill With
Other D. c. Stors
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Georgetown University's golf team
touted as potential college champs
again this year, comes up for its
first really important match Mon
day at the Capital Golf and Country
Club, where the Hoyas lock horns
with cocky bunch of golf warriors
from Duke University.
Prior to the Duke match George
town will clash tomorrow with Navy
at Annapolis. but Navy teams never
have done much with the Hilltop
pers at golf. and the Billy Dett-
weiler-c -captained Hoya outfit
shouldn't have much trouble with
Uncle Sans embryo sea-dogs.
The Duke match is another kettle
of fish. however. There's a fellow
down at Durham named Alexander
who is supposed to be hot stuff on
the midiron meadows
Brownell is Clever Player.
There's another Duke lad, named
Bobby BroWnell, whom we know
to be some shakes as a mauler of
mashie shots. And there are others,
so the stories from Durham run,
who will create plenty of headaches
among the college golfers before the
rah-rah season comes to an end.
Local lads may be the big shots
of the match. for three boys from
Washington are rated among the
top golfers of the two teams. Duke
has BroWnell and Georgetown has
Billy Shea and Billy Dettweiler, q
couple of boys who know their way
around any golf course.
The lads from Durham are bring
ing along plenty of dough to bet
on this one and Georgetown has
it all covered, with Charlie Petit
john. one OF the Hoya team men,
bers, taking many of the bets. The
match starts at o'clock.
Play in Loop Next Friday.
First test for the Hoyas in the
Eastern college loop comes next Fri
day at Philadelphia, where they
play Princeton. the outfit which
nosed them out for the loop lead
last year. If Georgetown can get
past this one they can win. for
the other teams in the Eastern
league haven't given the Hoyas
much trouble for several years. With
Johnny Burke playing No. l, George
town looms very strong in the upper
brackets and not so strong in the
lower pairings.
All the Hoya matches in the East
ern league will be played out of
town this year.
With Maryland and Catholic
University sporting golf teams this
year and George Washington laying
plans for one next year. we may
have local college golf loop formed

2 pounds of shrimp for bait. That's
a lot of fish for that amount and
in that time. They must have been
pulling them in two at time.
The Honga is a shallow
river, with the fish feeding in
the warm water on grassy and
sandy bottoms.
1t takes about an hour and
quarter to reach it by boat from
Solomons, but generally it is very
popular early fishing spot. OF
course. in three or four weeks when
the fish are biting like that on this
side, the Honga will be ignored. But
In early May it is favorite gather
ing place for those who can't or
won't wait.
Also at Benedict.
If YOU do not feel like making the
trip across the bay this week end
you still can catch hardhead at
Benedict. That is on the PatuXent
and much closer to Washington.
You will not find as many, but you
should be able to pick up five or 10
per line if the weather is good
Another place which will
have angling visitors this week
end is Wachapreague, Va.
That is on the Atlantic Coast, and
a haven for early trout. Channel
bass, too, will be there before long
Right now the big drum are down in
the Carolinas, and boats there are
finding large schools. Some few

REGISTRAR NOTES BIRTH CERTIFICATE
 REQUESTS INCREASE

Within the last few weeks num- Der of requests for certificates of birth have been received by the Reg istrar of Vital Statistics for Alaska from vocational training schools throughout the country.
 Yesterday, a specific request was received from the Dobbins Vocation al School in Philadelphia for evil dence of the birth of Mary Mar guerite McDonnal, who was born in Juneau on February 5, 1921. Under the Pennsylvania law she could not be admitted to this school unless she is a citizen of the United States, and the purpose of the information asked from Registrar Frank Boyle's office was to show that she is such a citizen
 Other requests have come, par ticularly from California cities, about the admission of children to their high schools. These requests show the necessity and desirability of greater care being taken by doc tors and others in reporting births

of the city'O or want an alibi for being late to social or business en- agreements. In the latter instance Peterson instructs the victim tc say upon arrival, merely; Sorry I was in an automobile accident And a few moments later, a ban daged operative from the Alibi Bureau appears and says: Here, MT Blank, is your brief case, I found it when they lifted your bat tered car to take it to the junk heap
 All of this, sa5S Peterson, is merely white-lying on a commer- cial scale. If every one had to tel the truth all the time, this old world would be more of a sham bles than it is, he claims, so why not spread confidence and make everybody happy.
 Peterson's dossiers even contain cases where marital bliss has been saved from a mother-in-laW's visit WiieS mother threatened to move in on two youngsters who had neither the room nor the time to share with any one else if their marriage was to be a success. After a careful investigation, Pe- terson supplied the husband with three out-of- work brothers who just had to be provided lodging ahead of the mother-in-la with her independent income Fortu- nately for Peterson, he admits, the mother-in-la saw the wisdom of this and after a tW0-day visit, which she spent in a hotel room, returned home. The young folk plan to spend happy vacation with her every year-paying their share of the expense.
 We don't, of course, take any case that has anything to do with the courts" says Peterson. And we won't supply alibis tor hus- bands or wives seeking to deceive their mates"
 Fees for alibis range from s up. Those which are very elaborate, require several actors and lot of props might run into hundreds of dollars.
 There have been practically none of that nature so far, says Peter son, the very kernel of good alibi being it's disarming simplicity.

By JACK STINNETT AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, July 15.-If you don't like this story, I gotta alibi.
 I got it from Don Peterson, He runs the Alibi Excuses, alibis. dramatically presented by experts. Fees reasonable. Confiden- tiai. personal attention. Originality of thought. Legitimate purposes only"
 That's the way Don describes it in his advertising and that's the way he describes it when you knock on the door of his sixth floor office on Broadway just be- low 42nd Street.
 Peterson is a medium height, blondish young man, with. an in- formal manner and a sense Of humor Born on a Minnesota farm, he came to New York about ten years ago after resigning from the Navy. He started writing and pro- ducing radio programs, still counts that as his principal occupation. A couple of years ago, an ac- tress Of some note who was doing some radio work burst into the office all a-twitter.
 An Idea Is Born
 My radio producer demands that come to his office immedi- ately to discuss new broadcast. I'm doing a recording this after noon for rival radio man that will net me S1O0. I can't think of way out, Don. What am I going to do?"
 Here" he said, take this script of Broadway play. Dash over to your producers office and tell him you are reading it this afternoon for a great Broadway theater man. Tell him just to read the swell part you have"
 The actress did as she was told. made the recording, earned the $100 and stayed in the good graces of her producer on whose fre- quent assignments she depended for bread, butter and rent. So grateful was she that she mailed Peterson a check for S10
 That's how the Alibi Bureau was born. For more than a year it was no more than an amusing hobby, but for some months now, 1t has been a major Peterson in- dustry, with ads in some of the local newspapers and one nation ally circulated journal.
 The imagination of alibi-seekers and there are many of them-is singularly lacking. Practically all wish to be relieved from some so- cial or business obligation Don supplies telephone operators for this who answer all calls with: i: I'm sorry but MT. Whatsit's out
