FIRE LAST NIGHT

At about 8:30 yesterday even- ing the fire department was call ed to extinguish a fire in the lit tie log cabin occupied by Scotty Brown at the intersection of D Street and second Avenue.
 The fire resulted from an over heated stove, although Scotty had just installed a new stove pipe, The fire was put out by water from the tank on the fire truck but not before the inside of the cabin was gutted.
 This cabin is by way of being quite a landmark in Nome and is claimed by many to have been the first log cabin erected here.

City Council Meets

The Common Council of the City of Nome held a regular meeting Monday night, Decem- Der 11th.
 Little of importance took place principally of a routine nature. Bills in the amount of $500 were approved and ordered paid.
 Several city lots on Belmont Point were sold to the U s s R & M Go for the purpose of con- structing road across Dry Creek to Belmont Point and points farther on. The construc- ton of this proposed road and bridge will be a decided asset to the City and will fill a long felt want in the community. It had been a matter of concern for a number of years past as to how the City could finance the con- struction of a permanent bridge across Dry Creek but each time the proposal was made it was postponed after investigation, due to the fact that the cost would be beyond reach of the city finances. Now fortunately the U s s R & M Co. has plan ned and even commenced work on this proposed bridge and road which will be substantial ly constructed and available to the public without any cost to the City or the taxpayers.

5 Gridmen Too Much
For IS, Wade Ayers
OF Duke Defeat
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Star Staff Corresnondent

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-"The
third and fourth waves finally cut
us down." Wallace Wade told me
before starting back to Durham.
1--WE kept our goal line still un-
crossed until only 40 seconds were
left, but our team by that point was
just too tired to move. 1t is too
much to expect Is or Is men to whip
IS or therabouts.
''The break that kept us from win
ming came after Days blocked kick
on his own 5-yard line bounded
straight back to the kicker. We had
men ready to recover on either side,
2 feet away. I think our goal-line
stand after fumbled kick near the
finish was one of the most thrilling
things ever saw. I happened to
know how worn down our team was
I at that spot. Only great spirit lifted
them up"
Dukes defensive play was brilliant
until tagging feet near the finish let
her down. Il have never seen so
many big, fast men on one squad as
Southern California has-but I
think Pittsburgh is a better team" "
Wade said.
AS the case now stands, T. c. U.
and Tennessee stand out as the top
teams Of the year. the two most
powerful all-around squads along
the ground or through the air. They
are two Of the best that football ever
has known.

Joe HARRISON Victor ReE Among Hot Favore in H. Bouinq takes
Columbia to Stage Big Party
For Mcleod on January II,
To His Embarrassment

, him the keys to a shiny new 1899
automobile.
Just what they'll do for Freddie
hasn't yet been revealed, but un-
doubtedly it will be something as
substantial.
The main speech OF the affair,
which is scheduled for to pm.
January II, will be made by George
P. James, the veteran golfer who
served for many years as greens
chairman at Columbia, and who
probably is as well known as any
golfer in this territory.
His 9th Year on Job.
Freddie Mcleod is So years OF age.
He hasn't been q Hagen or Bob
Jones, with several national cham
pionships to his credit, but he has
been an outstanding figure in a
game he has graced for more than
35 years IN this country. He was
born in North Berwick, Scotland.
He is the only man in this terri
tory who ever won a national cham
pionship, and he is now entering his
9th year of service at Columbia.
Few golf pros anywhere in the
land cover the span of years that
Fred Mcleod has piled up. Few are
better known throughout the Ma
ton, and none, as Freddie proved
last month by winning the senior
pro title, can play better golf at his
age.
But Freddie isn't quite at home
when the boys gather round for
the back-slapping act. He'll be COM
pletely embarrassed.

New Golf Shoe Spikes
Are Being Planned
To Save Greens

AS long as everything else in golf
is being regulated sharply it might
as well be the spikes that keep you
from slipping off the tee as you
lunge into one of those crashing
drives.
The United States Golf Associa-
ton has announced that it is work.
ing out an arrangement with golf
shoe manufacturers to change the
size and character of spikes on golf
shoes.
This probably will result in
rounded, blunt knobs instead of the
sharp spikes now generally in use.
You might think the U. S. G. A.
is monkeying with something 1t
has no business to fool with. But
when you consider all the angles
you'll realize that it is strictly with
in the purview of the governing
powers-thatbe. For example, you've
taken a misstep on a fine putting
green and scuffed up the fine bent
grass.
Under the rules you cannot, and
your opponent cannot, press down
that scuffed-up piece of grass. 1t
might be in the line of your putt,
or in the line of your opponents
putt. but neither of you can do
anything about it. under the rules.
1t isn't loose impediment, if the
root remains fixed, and altogether
it comes within the purview of leg
islative action.
Long, sharp spikes now in use
do pull up and scuff up rough spots
on the putting greens. Blunt, broad
knobs wouldn't do it. Maybe the
U. S. G. A. has something there.

Red-faced. tousle- headed Fred
Mcleod, the flyweight Professional
Golfers Association senior cham
pion, is going to be terribly embar-
rassed late on the afternoon Of jan
uary IL. Freddie always has been
embarrassed when the boys tossed
little party in his honor, as has
been done frequently at the Colum-
bia Country Club over the 26 years
he has been serving as the pro at
the big club near Chevy Chase Lake.
If Freddie could blush, or If a
blush could be discerned on that
unframed, brick-red countenance,
he'll blush that afternoon Of Jan
uary II when 300 or 400 folks gather
to honor the little fellow who won
the national open championship a
little more than 80 years ago. Now,
after lapse Of half a lifetime, he
holds another national title, won in
competition with the best senior
professionals of the land.
Do Things in Big way.
The boys at Columbia, one Of
the better organized clubs of this
sector, do those things in a big
way. Three months ago they got to-
gether to make a little gesture for

nels have had the fun of buying
some.
Several other local breeders, in
Guiding Beech Tree Farm, A. j.
keap, Ruffcote, and several others
have one or more dogs well started
towards a title.
Recognizing the growing interest
IN and Importance of the pure bred
dog IN the Washington area, several
new small animal hospitals have
been opened to enable pet owners
and breeders to care for their ami
mails more adequately. Among those
established in recent months are
one in Silver Spring, one in the
friendship Heights neighborhood
and one in nearby Virginia.
To satisfy the growing demand
for pure meat for dog feeding at
price within the reach of all dog
owners two nationally known COM
panies have sent representatives
into the area. One sells fresh and
frozen meat as well as cans of
straight meat, the other sells only
the canned meat. These are moth
ing but meat, not canned dog food
containing meat and other ingre-
dents.
There have been the usual num-
ber of licensed shows within a So
mile radius of the city. Beginning
last February with the Baltimore
show, they included the Washington
show, the Baltimore County and the
Old Dominion fixtures. While there
have been more sanction matches
for various breeds on the MARYLAND
side of the city, Washington and
nearby Virginia have failed to keep
up this end of the sport.
Several new breeds have been in
troduced in the metropolitan area.
Edith Groves is very enthusiastic
about Afghan hounds. Bill Hatch,
late of everywhere and now of Falls
Church, has an interesting kennel
OF Lhassa terriers. K. c. Francis is
full Of pride in his boxers.
Among the rarer breeds to be
found within a few miles of the
District are Kerry Blue terriers,
Scottish deerhounds, miniature pin
schers, Dandie Dinmont terriers,
Shetland sheepdogs and chill ia
huas.

Don S Success Seen
As Argument for
Open Net Event
Shows Pros Would Get
Worthwhile Bottles
From Simon-Pures
By WHITNEY MARTIN,
Associated press Enoyte uyritev

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The subject
Is old enough for crutches, but we
also have something to lean on in
presenting our brief in favor Of open
tennis tournaments.
The prop is the Donald Budge-
Ellsworth Vines matches.
Anyway, the argument that anna
teurs would have no chance in such
tournament is refuted by the fact
that Vines, rated the best of the
pros, has bowed twice to Dor
Bulge, fresh from the simon-pure
ranks.
1t is granted that Bulge undoubt-
edly is the only one of the 1898
amateur crop who could defeat the
best of the pros, but also it is true
that an amateur golfer wins the
National Open once in blue moon,
yet the National Open is a fixture.
Perhaps the amateur officials are
a little fearful that little of the
money might rub off onto the
amateurs if they came in contact
with the pros, giving a slightly
Cdi lllollcu clltCL. buJ nOLQlng OF
that nature happened in mixing the
pro and amateur golfers. although
it is true the winner of a major
open golf title, if an amateur, prob
ably can do all right by himself and
still remain an amateur, at least in
theory.
That amateur and professionals
should mingle freely in all sports is
out OF the question. For example,
an open tournament for boxers
might find Joe Louis meeting the
champion of the Little Five Club,
with results too horrible to imagine.
However, Vines might meet the
champion of the Little Five Club in
tennis, with the champion OF the
Little Five Club still able to be up
and about afterWard, if he didn't get
pneumonia from the draft of the
balls whistling by, and he'd prob
ably be able to give better account
of himself the next time for the
experience.

Chief Chewacki, the big. bad In

Golden Terror tonight at the Arena,
and mat fans get another cut-price
show containing the full lot of five
matches.
The 310-pound hooded Terror
rang up his fifth victory in five
starts last week, downing Chewacki
In 81 minutes after giving him more
kicks than punter gives a football.
It was to get revenge for these kicks,
which he claims were foul, that the
Chief asked for, and received, the
return booking with the Man From
Mars.
The match stirred up something
OF a minor riot around the ring
side and provided one Of the most
exciting evenings inside the re-
vamped garade in many months.
The. Terror had with him an aide
variously called manager, trainer
and second. who pranced around
half in and half out of the ring,
making life tough for Chewacki.

F1tzsimmons, with mulelike kick
in his shoulders and nothing but
skin and freckles on his legs,
weighed less than ITO when he
knocked out Jim Corbett for the
heavyweight championship. Fitz
moved up there in the first place be-
cause pickings were sparse in the
middleweight class.
The great Ketchel was not a verv
big middleweight when gold dust
lured him into a ring, with Jack
Johnson. And he knocked johnson
kicking, though Johnson promptly
arose and knocked Ketchel colder
than a haddock.
Mickey Walker was wide, but Max
Schmeling and Jack Sharkey
dWarfed him for height and weight
when he went piling into those two
distinguished heavyweights. What
was the Mick doing up there? He
was up there to make money.
Carpenter was a light heavy
weight, and fragile one, to boot
when he fought Dempsey. The
heavyweights were happy to have
Georges among them. for Dempsey
was running out of Miskes and
Brennans, and Carpenter could
and did-draw a million dollars.
Tunney, Jim Braddock and Ros.
enbloom were lucky enough to be
late growers. When they needed
money and more weight the weight
came to them, and the money fol-
lowed in gobs. Because they grew
naturally, they were the most sue
cessful of the lighter heavies.
