Get Ready Now

1t isn't pleasant to think of win
ter while enjoying the warm days
of summer. But summer is the
time when your home should be
prepared against the cold and raj
ny period ahead, in the interest
of comfort and fire prevention.
Check up on your heating plant
first of all. Furnaces and CHM
neys should be thoroughly cleaned
and necessary repairs made by a
qualified expert Likewise, clean
out the fuel bin and when you
stock it arrange your fuel in an or
derby manner Papers or rags mix
ed in with wood or coal may re-
suit in spontaneous heating.
1t is very possible that certain
minor changes in construction in
your home are advisable as an aid
to fire prevention. Wood beams
extending into chimney walls, for
instance, have started many fires.
And adequate fire stops are all
important.
Check over any disposed cleo
trio wiring-dark days bring ma
ximum demand for light, and hea-
Wy use of electric heating applian-
ces. Don't make amateur repairs
yourself bad wiring has caused
many a serious fire. Your electri-
clan will do it properly, and what
little he charges is insignificant
in the light of the fact it may
save your home from destruction.
Finally, go through the house
thoroughly, and clean out accumu-
lations of papers, magazines, dis
carded clothes, broken furniture,
and other inflamable junk.
Get ready for winter now. It's
little job that pays big dividends.

Win; Tech Beaten
On Diamond

Eastern and Roosevelt won base
ball games outside the interhigh
series yesterday, but Tech was
beaten in third game involving
local high schools.
Playing an interdivision game
which had no bearing on the stand

Wilson, 4-3, scoring all its runs in
the first and fourth innings. john
ny beavers and Joe Cole divided the
winners pitching duties, while Her
man Byer went the route for the
losers.
The George Washington freshmen
were Roosevelt'S victims, as the
Riders scored all their runs in the
first two innings for a 7-5 triumph.
The Robertson twins hit homers in
both frames, Bill smacking his in the
first and Jimmy his in the second.
Tech became the first Washington
school to lose to Episcopal of Alex

Requires 8 Under Por Now
To Collect First Coin

On the recent winter and spring
tour it took an average of 8 under
par to collect first money. while
par barely was worth a quarter.
The Philadelphia Country Club
course, however, is a harder test
than most opens have known, and
par may retain higher value. But
usually it takes better than 290 to
win, far below the time count.
One answer to all this is the much
greater number playing the game,
the increase in skill and the i'm
provement of the implementS-not
overlooking the wedge that takes out
most of the sting where the sands
of the bunkerS once grew hot and
heelprintS were as tame as hooded
cobras. Today the better pros. after
a bunker shot, get down in one putt
on green after green.
More than a thousand golfers will
fall by the wayside next week
Among those who must qualify are
Walter Hagen and a flock of we'll
known stars. John Montagu, the
once-famous Mystery Golfer, also is
In this list, his first appearance un-
der championship fire
Hagen, a great golfer for 27 years,
has been working hard to be ready
for next weeks challenge. He will
find every sport lover in the coun-
try pulling for him to make the
grade after winning II national
titles and so other important stakes.
This next show just outside of
Philadelphia will be one of the best
we've ever had, and Guldahl's bid
for a triple crown will add more
than normal interest Guldahl and
Snead will be the two leading IA
vorites, but there will be 8 or 10
others planted in practically the
same bracket of chance.

handed Mrs. Myron Davy, favored

In that match there was some
talk about Mrs. Walper brushing
the green with her putter, but when
the committee found out it was
legal and that it was done in all big
tournaments by the pros and the
top amateurs, it was ruled okay.
Mrs. Walper explained that she did
not brush the line of putt, but went
off the line to find out the grain
of the putting green grass. That's S
perfectly legal in any company.

NEW YORK, May 18 CN.ANAD.-
Next week there will be more than
1900 golfers dreaming of the hour
that might bring them the open golf
crown of the United States. Late
in the afternoon of June 10 at the
Philadelphia Country Club, West
Conshohocken, Pa, there will be
left only one survivor.

you consider the odds.
Guldahl faced the same test at

thrown together with the younger
stars moving up-Snead, Nelson,
Metz, Hogan, Demaret and others,
trying desperately to break through.
The shorter hitters must match
their play around the greens
against the distance rangers, who
have a decided edge on the long
par or the par holes, so every
variety of golf is drawn into the

New Bill Foley Cup
Third Team Prize
In e Club Meet
Trophy Honors Retired
Veteran Trainer; Six
Awards at Stake

A brand-new trophy will be placed
in competition Saturday when a
small army of scholastic trackmen
swarms into Central High Stadium
for the annual &C" Club games. 1t
is the Bill Foley Cup, put up by
the host club as a tribute to the
grand old man of the sport who
has since retired as track coach at
the school. 1t will be awarded the
team finishing third
For years Bill Foley's name was
a household word in Washington.
Virtually every trackman knew him
and received kindly and valuable
advice from him. He developed
more outstanding runners than any
other man. and for years was a
potent influence behind the &c"
Club games. He helped bring out
standing scholastic teams here and
played prominent role in beating
them in the games.
Was Widely Known.
But Foley's reputation was not
limited to Washington narrow con-
fines. He was widely known
throughout the east for his work
in track, and indeed helped train
some Olympic athletes. He also
took an interest in bicycle racing
when that sport was at the height
of its popularity and trained some
of the periods swiftest pedalers.
1t is generous tribute on the
part of the &C" Club members to
dedicate the cup to Bill, and the
Did gentleman will surely feel a tingle
of pride when he hears the news.
AS usual the Emory Wilson Me-
mortal Trophy is the principal
award to be made Named for the
late principal of the school who
originated the games and was the
