Golf Standard Based
Solely on Yardage
Deemed Unfair
Difficulties of Course
Would Be Considered
Under Loneford Plan
BY WHITNEY MARTIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Ofhand it
would seem little difficult to shoot
par on par 3.75 hole, unless a three
quarter swing was used somewhere
along the line, but William B. Lang
ford assures us that his fractional
system of computing par works out
all right.
Langford is golf course architect
of Chicago. He also is a member
of the National Public Links Com
mittee and at the tournament in
Baltimore he explained just how he
would revise par so handicaps might
be computed with accuracy.
"As it is now said Langford, a
slim, intent man with gray-streaked
hair, "a player with a 5 handicap
on one course might be able to give
a 4-handicap player of another
course two or three strokes.
why? Because of the present
erroneous method of basing par on
yardage. For instance, 225-yard
hole is par now. A 440-yard hole
also is a par 4. But they're not the
same hole, not by long shot. A
player on a course loaded with 440-
yard holes might have the same
handicap as player on a course
with a bunch of 255-yard holes, but
there might be whale of a differ
ence in their games.
Pars Not Much Changed.
1--WE figured out a system of frac-
tional pars so that a hole has par
which more or less matches its diff
Guilty. For instance, 270-yard hole
would have a par of 35.
Then too, we might\ take into
consideration the troubles offered by
a hole without reference to yard
age. That is, if 100 players play
hole nine times out of ten in par 5,
we can figure it's an easy par 4. But
II they get pars only three times out
of ten We know it is tough hole.
and can rate the par accordingly.
The system doesn't change the
pars as much as you think. We CAL
culated the fractional par for 40
Chicago courses. 1t lowered the
present par on 81, and raised it on 3.
I would say the system on an aver
age would cut the present pars about
a stroke and a half.
However, it would reduce it
enough so fellows like Byron Nelson
would be about % strokes under par.
as he was for one tournament"
Langford admits that the duffer
likes to know just how he stands on
each hole, but says that if the
player uses three strokes on a par
3.5 hole he knows he is under par.
and if he takes four on the same
hole he knows he is over. and any,
way, it is more important to have
an accurate methods of computing
handicaps than it is for player
to know just how he is doing on ev-
cry hole.
U. S. G. A. Not Wild Over Plan.
Langford has been trying to in
terest the U. S. G. A. in his idea for
some time
Il haven't got very far" he ad-
mlts plaintively
incidentally, Langford says there
isn't much new business in his line
right now. He designed, or helped
design, about 200 courses, including
the Wakonda Club in Des Moines,
where the national intercollegiate
was held this year.
They aren't building new courses
any more" he explains. Most of
our work now is reconstruction of
oid courses. We recently gave the
SKokle Club, where Gene Sarazen
won his first open championship, a
face lifting"

Pros Next Week

Dopper Dan Meet; Rich
M.. A. Prizes Likely

A total of $500 in prize money will
be put up by the Maryland State
Golf Association for the open golf
championship of the Old Line State
to be played a week from today
at Hillendale Country Club near
Towson, Md.
Every Washington pro who thinks
he has a chance to get into the
four money positions will move over
to Hillepdale for the tourney. At
least two of them will leave Balti-
more the night of August 8 for Pitts
burgh to play in the Dapper Dan
$4,000 open affair which starts
August 10. Leo Walper and Cliff
Spencer are planning the Pitts
burgh trip.
The Maryland open championship
is 36-hole medal play affair, open
to all professional and amateur
golfers in or out of Maryland, with
the pros to pay SIS entry fee, while
the amateurs will kick in with So
Entries will close with the Mary
land State Golf Association at noon
next Saturday. Prize money will
be distributed as follows: First
$120; second, 500; third, $50; fourth
$50.
Houghton in Field Again.
Again the boys will have AL
Houghton to lick. The silver haired
lad from Glen Echo, Nd, who used
to be the pro at Kenwood. has won
the Maryland open four times And
when he doesn't win he has a habit
OF turning up in second or third
place. Last year he tied for third
with Witty Cox.
Andy Gibson of Bonnie View Club
| OF Baltimore won the 1888 tourney
at Congressional with 72-70-142
which happens to be under par.
The winner probably will do better
than that at Hillendale, for the lay
out is easier than Congressional and
is in perfect shape for low scoring,
with fast fairways and green's in
good condition.
Houghton, meanwhile, is canvass
ing around among the clubs and
| commercial outfits interested in pro
golf seeking record purse for
the Middle Atlantic P. G. A. tour
nament, to be played in September
| at an undesignated Washington
course.
$500 NJ. A. Top Prize Likely.
Always enthusiastic about the
game, Houghton predicts he will
! raise somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 for this 72-hole medal
play affair, with first money to 90
around $500 If he succeeds it will
be the biggest thing in pro golf here
since the last National Capital open
championship in 1884
And Bobby Cruickshank of Rich
mond, who still holds the National
Capital open crown, would come to
Washington for that one Cruicky
hasn't been around at many of the
P. G. A. tournaments, but he would
show for one with important money.

Mineral Bearing
Areas On
State Lands

| AGUILA, Arizona, June 2 - A
! mineral bearing areas on state
lands which should produce mines
which will be important sources of
state revenue, William Alberts, state
land commissioner, declared Mon
doy morning at the opening Ses-
SIGN of the school for the field en-
gineerS of Arizona's new Depart
mentof Mineral Resources. He stress
, ed the Importance and need of CO.
operation between the small mine
:: owners and cattle men of the state.
Alberts stated so-called state
lands administered by the state
Land Department originally allo-
Gated by grants from the Federal
government to the territory and
State of Arizona according to clear
listings amount to 10,685, 500 acres,
of which the original school lands,
section 2, 16, 80 and SO, total $780,
42O acres. The lands are merely held
in trust by the State Land Depart
ment for the various institutions
of the state.
/ He further stated that formerly
when the State charged SC an acre
grazing fees there was on the books
of the Land Department 100000 in
delinquent lease fees but that in
recent years when the lease fees
were lowered to 11ac per acre the
annual revenue from said leases
amounts to $500, 900, which is be-
ing collected.
| He further stated that at the time
these lands were granted it was
not the intent of the Federal gov
ernment to allow the State Of Arl-
zona to acquire title to mineral
lands but by an Act of Congress
approved Jan. 25, 1927, the State
was granted all mineral rights or
State land.
According to Mr. Alberts, minera
lands can be leased, first, under
prospecting permit for two years
under which the leasee can marke
so tons of ore only, and, second, i

TRADE AGREEMENTS
OPEN VISTAS FOR
S. A. COMMERCE

N7OW, as at no other time. the
IN nations of South America
offer rich opportunities for enter
prise, capital and men from the
United States, according TO Edward
Tomlinson in an article in the June
issue of Cosmopolitan. In an inter-
view with DR.. Oswaldo Aranha, Bra
lillian Minister of Foreign Affairs
who represented his country in the
recent trade-and-credit agreement
between Brazil and the United
States, DR.. Aranha is quoted as say
ing, 'tNot only does Brazil look for
ward to a new period OF cooperative
trade with her northern friends and
to the development of new enter
prises which will furnish products
needed by North American manu-
facturers, but also she will welcome
North American experts, technl-
clans and even settlers"
Not only in Brazil but in many
other South American countries are
there opportunities for competent
men. South America has barely
scratched the surface of her re-
sources. Precious stones, gold, cop
per, nitrates and petroleum are
yielded in great plentitude by her
rich earth. The livestock industries
of Brazil and Argentina enable
these countries to compete with the
United States for first place in the
worlds meat market. Many of our
most vital raw materials and food
products are produced in South
America and cannot be produced in
our own country. Coffee, chocolate
and rubber are outstanding exam
'.es. Quinine will grow only In the
lpics. We cannot raise many vege-
coil or hardwood plants. We
no hemp. Our tin resources
scarce and our iron and man.
,ese deposits limited. All these
ngs are found or produced in
south America and yet, aside from
coffee and hardwoods, we purchase
most of these imports from Asiatic
countries when they are obtainable
much nearer home.
With mutually beneficial trade
agreements. we can buy raw mate
rial from South American countries
and sell them our finished products,
keep our factories at home, increase
domestic employment and pay taxes
and dividends to our own country,
meanwhile providing the southern
continent with things they most
need and welding friendship be-
tween the two Americas.
