patrons of Turner's Arena Thursday
night. His foe will be blubbery
Bibber Mccoy, who asked for it.
The Bibber is all perked up over
his victory over Babe Zaharias here
last week and is enjoying the novelty
of being something of hero. Ordi-
narily villain of some standing,
Mccoy moved into the fair-haired
class when he refused victory BY
disqualification over zaharias and
pinned him two minutes later.
With some 305 pounds draped over
his sturdy frame, the Terror creates
groans merely by sitting on his op-
ponents. In IL local matches he
never has been pinned, his losses
being due to disqualifications. He
squashed Mccoy in his last appear
ance here.

four preliminaries, the first of which

tional public links tourney in 1923,
an affair won by Dick Walsh of New
York, and S. G. Leoffler. public
links golf magnate, unsuccessfully
tried to obtain the 1899 national
tourney for Washington in the face
of bid from Baltimore.
Public links golf around Wash.
ington will not be any better of
without an official representative.
Each year at the time of the sec.
tional qualifying rounds for the ma
tional tourney many questions Of
eligibility come up.
Herman Did Good Job.
Herman consistently handled these
matters satisfactorily Those same
questions will come up this year,
at time when the championship
will be crammed with bright lads
anxious to play in the national
tourney at Baltimore. and unless a
new committeeman is appointed. or
unless some one is authorized to
handle eligibility and allied matters
the whole situation we'll may be
tossed into a tumble of mismanage-
ment which would do public links
golf in Washington a lot of no good.
Baltimore has adequate repre-
sentation on the national commits
tee, but to slight Washington in a
year when the tournament will be
played within less than two hours
ride from the Capital won't help
the situation.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Public links golf around WASH
ington today is without any onicial
representation on the United States
Golf Association, following the resig-
nation of Dave Herman, for three
years local representative, from the
Public Links Committee of the U. s.
G. A.
Herman resigned a few days ago,
giving as his reason press of busi-
ness and inability to devote suffici-
ent time to the post. The resigna-
ton comes in a year when the ma
tional public links championship
will be held virtually on Washing
tons doorstep. 1t is slated for the
Mount Pleasant Clifton Park course
in Baltimore July 24-29 inclusive.
d. c. May Continue in Cold.
The United States Golf Associ-
alton is understood to be cutting
down on the Public Links Committee
and may not appoint a representa-
tive from Washington. although
Tommy Doerer, East Potomac Park
manager and handspring of munich
pal golf promotion in Washington,
has been limited as the successor
to Herman. The latter succeeded
James D. Preston on the United
States Golf Association Public Links
Committee. For the first time in II
years Washington is without repre-
sentation on the committee. East
Potomac Park staged the second ma

par-4 and par-5 holes by 25 yards.
Meanwhile the fair golfers are turn
ing in cards for 1899 handicaps.
Here are the new par ratings at
most of the country clubs around
Washington on which the feminine
handicaps will be based this year:
Kenwood Golf and Country Club,
new par 70, reduction of four
strokes; Columbia Country Club.
new par 76, a reduction of two
strokes; Chevy Chase Club, new par
II, reduction of one stroke; Con-
gressional, new par II, drop of
one stroke; Indian Spring, new par
rs, a drop of one stroke; Beaver
Dam, new par II, a reduction of two
strokes: Army y-Navy, new par prob
ably IA, reduction of two strokes;
Washington Golf and Country Club,
new par rs, a reduction of three
strokes, and Manor Country Club,
new par rs, reduction of two
strokes.
So the fair golfers will start out
this year with higher handicaps
right down the line. But also they
will play against tougher par rat
ings than they ever have had.
On the whole it is for the best. for
it's doubtful If any woman around
Washington in the top fight could
! play to her old handicap.

along as outlined, will bring to
Washington dozen nationally
known golf stars on June IL to play

operation of the local pro body. OF
course, all the pros from Washing
tor and Baltimore also will COM
pete if we are able to arrange the
