Jimmy Kehoe, Maryland's po-
tent middle-distance runner, took
up track to improve his tennis
and hasn't found time since to
return to the racket-wielding
pastime.
The quiet, slender Terp star
will be one of the featured per-
formers in tomorrow nights
Southern Conference games at
Chapel Hill. He's been galloping
around wooden saucers in all of
the big meets this winter, cross
ing the line in times ranging
from 1887 to 1862, staying up
with the best in the business. But
tomorrow night he's afraid he'll
lose. Why, he doesn't know.
"You can never tell about
track" he says with a shrug Of
the shoulders. "One night you're
hot and the next you're not. You
can trip and fall, get an elbow
on the turn or figure in lot of
other peculiar things thatll
throw you off stride, so you can't
take anything for granted"
Evening star., 1940-02-23

From this angle it seems his
only difficulty tomorrow will be
a lack of competition. A runner
has to be pushed" to give his
best and the Southern Confer
ence field doesn't compare with
the company Jimmy's been keep
ing up around New York.
'It'll be good enough" he dis
sented. But I'm used to run
ming in spikes and We'll use flats
(spikeless leather brogans) down
there"
Kehoe holds the conference in
door mark Of 1853 for the $50
and his poorest time this winter
has been more than 2 seconds
under that figure, so with any
luck at all he should crack the
record.
Jimmy was q fair to middling
tennis player at Bel Air High
School when he got the track
bug. He was sixth ranking junior
of Maryland, but awfully slow to
be so high, so DR.. p. B. Hopkins,
an old Randolph-Macon star,
suggested he try track to improve

tomac Park layout back in 1922.
Rippy never has won the District
amateur championship, but for the
last two years he has won the Chevy
Chase Club invitation affair, which
frequently has a stronger field than
the District title tournament.
If he gets in the groove he will
come pretty close to busting the
present amateur record at Washing
ton. That record stands at 66, and
when a good golfer conquers the
twists of that tricky layout he can
score well. Certainly Rippy will
strengthen the Washington team,
which annually plays a series Of
team matches with Army Navy and
the Country Club Of Virginia.
There's more than an idea among

Indian Spring, Argyle,
Beaver Dam Withdraw
From Fair Circuit
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.
Only eight country club teams will
compete in the women's golf team
matches starting in April. Ten teams
played in 1899.
Indian Spring Country Club, whose
first team was runnerup last year in
q hotly contested series with Chevy
Chase, will not enter teams in any
class this year, according to Mrs.
G. P. Medley, a member Of the 1899
outfit. Beaver Dam and Argyle also
will be missing from the team con-
tests this year, the Women's District
Golf Association has been advised.
But Kenwood, which dropped out
Of the team matches at the begin
ming of last season, will be back in
the fold with teams which loom as
strong contenders in all three di-
visions. Kenwood's first team will be
headed by Mrs. Betty P. Meckley,
formerly holder of all the feminine
golf titles in this territory, and also
will include Mrs. Harry w. Sharpe
Mrs. Meckley and Mrs. Sharpe
played on the Indian Spring team
in 1899.
Manor Team Strengthened.
Manor's team, long contender for
the team championship, will be
efr rfI hv,$ ofN
Walter R. Stokes, Middle Atlantic
Golf Association women's champion.
Mrs. Stokes joined Manor several
months ago.
Teams which will compete in the
first team matches, open to low
handicap players, are: Chevy Chase
defending champions): Columbia,
Congressional, Manor, Army Navy,
Washington, Kenwood and Wood
mont. AS last year first teams will
consist of eight players, second teams
will include six players and third
teams will include four players.
Last years team schedule got
under way on April II and this years
contest probably will start at about
the same time.
The Women's District Golf Asso-
citation, with its major tournaments
allocated for 1910, now is working on
the intricate team schedule, which
runs for three months, winding up
around June IS.
One of the unusual features of the
feminine schedule this year is that
major local affair is scheduled the
same week as the Women's national
championship The reason is that
the national tourney has been set
for Pebble Beach, Calf, and it isn't
likely that more than one local
competitor will play because of the
time and expense elements involved
in the lengthy trip from Washington
to the Pacific Coast.
Two Big Outside Meets.
Two major tournaments outside
the Women's District Golf Associa-
ton schedule will be sharply limited
as to entries. The affair for the Mrs.
Ralph w. Payne trophy, to be played
at Congressional at 81 holes October
3, 4 and S, is open only to players
with handicaps of 10 strokes or less.
There aren't many women in Wash
ington with handicaps as low as that.
The Eastern championship, to be
played at the Five Farms course of
Baltimore Country Club in May, is
limited to competitors with handi-
caps of Is or less, provision which
also limits the Washington competi-
ton.
Announcement of the complete
feminine schedule, including all
dates, will be made at an executive
committee meeting at Columbia
March 25. Dates for many of the
fixtures have been withheld, pending
final acceptance by the clubs.

Two years later, at SO, he was
elected to the Senate, just when
all but two states in the Union,
his own included, slid into the
Roosevelt SO landslide.
In the Senate he's kept up
constant sniping at the New Deal.
Jumped into the headlines by de-
manding, and getting, an investi-
CATION of IVA. Worked up that
storm by himself with the aid of
his office staff.
That wrote him into the reac-
tionary column here. In the minds
Of some Republicans it also put
him in the bumptious column.
Young Senators are supposed to
do the work and let their elders
take the credit. But not Bridges.
They tell story about that. He
was his high school class's vale
dictorian. Wrote a speech for the
big night. And passed it around.
It got hot criticisms. So the elders
in the family combined to write
him another. The night Of gradua-
ton they sat and listened to him
give the first speech.
There's a New England-ish
thing to remember about that
iva investigation. IVA is a gov
eminent attempt to cut electric
rates. So in the minds of New
Deal zealots anyone who attacks
it is in the hands of the utilities.
Bridges attacked it.
But back in New Hampshire he
had just the other sort of billing.
He'd cut utility rates when he
was governor. He was even de-
c1ared too radical when he was
appointed to the states public
service commission.
He's proud of the fact that he
broke a Little Steel" strike in
Ohio by looking into the strikers
attempts to keep mail out of the
plants. On the other hand, he
says, 81 don't know why worker
doesn't join a union when he's too
far removed from the big boss to
talk to him."
He's been one of the critics of
the NLRB. Just to get good am
munition for his arguments he
piled a friend into his car one day
and drove to Ohio to listen in,
unannounced, to an NLRB hear
ing.
He's proud of his pay-as-you-
60 record as a New Hampshire
governor. Immediately set about
balancing the state budget. Cut
expenditures. Then slapped on
two new taxes: One on beer, and
one on collateral heirs. That is,
your nephew would have to pay
a state tax on what you left him,
but your son wouldn't.
Bridges never brought his fami-
ly down here because he has three
young sons in school. The family
stayed in their little white wood
en- home outside Concord. Mrs.
Bridges died in '38, and that was
a terrific blow to Bridges.
II There's a little story about it.
He learned by telephone that she
was dying. He couldn't get there
fast enough. So, Republican that
he is, he. called Democrat Harry
Woodring, secretary of war, for a
plane. Woodring, family man
himself, scurried up plane. But
Bridges arrived just 10 minutes
too late to say goodbye to his
wife. 49,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1940-04-25

He remembered Woodring's
kindness. When it looked as if
Woodring were having trouble in
his department, it was Bridges,
the Republican, who aired the sit
uation and went to Woodring's
defense.
Rest Of The Family
Bridges three sons are a whole
department in themselves. Right
now the incest thing about their
fathers campaign is the fact that
movie men keep showing up at
home. The boys pose patiently
and then demand expert advice
on the movie machine they've &C
quired. 1t makes them some
pumpkins in their neighborhood.
Styles, Jr., II, is the movie eX-
pert. David, 10, and John, 7, have
collateral interests. David goes
for stamps. John, for an unex-
planned reason, is collecting but
tons.
Bridges flies some weekends
with his pockets bullying for the
boys. His secretary shops for him.
When he's out campaigning he
has a rule of mailing post cards
to the boys from every town in
which he stops.
John, unconsciously, is his ia
theirs current de-flater. John
gives campaign speech with a
full repertoire of his fathers ges-
lures. The Senator listens and
learns, he says, with a grin.
The four Bridges men-from
father, AZ, to John, 7-spend their
play hours out of doors-hunting,
swimming, fishing and skiing.
That was part of Bridges role as

Loves Labor Lost

Baltimore = (P) - A brewery
labored long to produce a super
superb ale.
But complaints of "too cloudy"
and "a funny taste" poured in
when it was marketed.
The trouble, said the brewer
masters, is that people today just
don't know a superlative ale when
they taste it.
So sales were halted, and the
ale saved for banquets OF appre-
ciatiVe gourmetS.
