II Santa Claus drops around to
your house Wednesday and leaves
set of shiny new iron clubs or an
immaculate set of wooden weapons
and you itch to try EN- out on the
public courses, take it easy, pal
take it easy. The public courses will
be closed all day Christmas Day and
unless you want to run afoul of the
blue-coated minions of John Law
don't try out those new clubs on
the municipal layouts.
The order closing the public
courses came today from the Office
of National Capital Parks. 1t fell
right into line with the thought of
S. G. Leoffler, the concessionaire
for the public courses, who wanted
to do it himself but had to get Cap
ital Parks Office authority to make
the move.
So the boys who handle golf at
the public courses can eat their
turkey in peace They can't even
play their own golf courses.

Serious illness of Howard Nord-
linger, the Woodmont Club champ,
has forced postponement of one
semi-flnal match in the tourney
and the final now will not be played
until next year. Howard is at home
recovering from a siege of pneu-
monia. He is doing all right. Nord-
linger is paired with Len Jacobs

Derringer Sees Reds
Winning Again in
Stronger Loop
Also Sure He'll Have
Another Good Season;
Praises McKechnie
Bs the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla. Dec. 23.-Big Paul
Derringer, a pitching hero OF the
last world series, figures the National
League opposition will be even
tougher next season, but there's no
reason the Reds shouldn't win their
third straight pennant."
We'll be stronger next season,
too" remarked Paul as he leaned his
husky frame against locker in the
Miami Springs Golf Club.
Beating Detroit in the series,
after our loss to the Yankees the
year before, gave us a world of con-
fidence. Well have Jim Ripple for
the entire season, and we have added
some more good ball players"
Experience Big Help.
Derringer, now 80 years old, feels
confident he will have another good
year.
"You lose some of your swift as
the years pass" he said. "but you
make up for that by what you learn
about pitching. Look at Nose Grove,
for example"
Big Paul couldn't resist getting in
a plug for his manager, Bill Nc
Kechnie.
He lets you alone when you're
going WE'LL" Derringer said. But if
you get into a jam he'll never hesi-
tate to tell you want to do. He will
always take the blame, too, if it
doesn't work.
Finds Him Great Boss.
You can't find better boss than
that. And I've won-let's see, %, 25,
22-that makes SO games in three
years under McKechnie for the
Reds"

OId-Timers of Sports

Joseph is about Is per cent the

Godoys, the Braddocks, and the

That's what the present-day fan
asks himself, and while he generally
answers himself no." there are
times when he may have a secret
suspicion that the old-timers are
right. I am not thinking of fights
so much. I am thinking of baseball.
Mr.. John T. Doyle, Mr.. Willie
Hoppe, Mr.. Dumb Dan Morgan, and
few others of the ancient regime,
who claim to be slightly older than
William the Conquerof were talking
the over day about how tough base
ball used to be. They made out a
pretty fair case.

ShuffIin' Phil Douglas
Wos Inquisitive

There was one time" said Mr..
Morgan, when Shufflin' Phil Doug
las, that pitched with the Giants,
got curious about those big electric
fans they have spinning in the sub
way cars during the summer. He
stuck his hand into one of the things
one day, and don't mean his left
hand. He put his pitching hand
into this fan, going full blast I
thought the fingers would start fly
ing out of every different window.
But no indeed. Douglas was pitch
ing again inside 10 days. He was
very inquisitive fella."
Look at Ty Cobb" said Mr.. Doyle,
taking his turn at the microphone.
IT saw him one night when he was
having a good time He looked
great. I said. 'Ty, how do you keep
your health this way?' He said My
health is great above the neckline.
But this is the days work He
hiked up his pants and showed me
six fresh spike wounds. Any one
of them would have put modern
player out of business for a month"
Look at Kid Gleason" said Mr..
Hoppe moving in from the left.
Gleason was small but he could
have pitched this Louis over a med
iun sized skyscraper. He might
have done it to Jeffries, too," added
Mr.. Hoppe magnanimously.
Which brought up the story of the
time that Gleason, later the innocent
and broken-hearted manager of the
Black Sox in the World Series of
1919. was playing the infield for the
Phillies and met up with Moose
Mccormick.
Mccormick became one of base
balls greatest pinch hitters in time,
but on this occasion he was a raw
busher, just breaking in with the
New York Giants. The Moose was
upward of feet high, and he paid
little attention to the small, mild
looking man on second base as he
raced from first to second one day
in a Giant-Philly game.
The small man gave him a sharp
bump and knocked him fiat when he
reached the bag. Mccormick got to
his feet raging mad

Our secret operative In charge Of
Finding Out What-Women- Want
For Christmas is finally earning his
salary. He's been snooping around
department stores, hiding behind
chairs at luncheons, and once even
disguised himself as a potted palm
to overhear a tea-table group decide
what they'd like Santa Claus to
bring them. Our operative says the
answer Is cosmetics. And because
he has always been known to make
the G. Washington cherry tree Incl
dent look like something concocted
by Baron Munchausen, we believe
him.
This special agent Of ours. whom
we shall call Joe. for purposes Of
identification, tells US that women
have found the 1910 versions Of cos
metics of special interest, due to the
originality that has gone into their
creation. Any resemblance to the
old-time "war-paint" is purely i'm
possible. Joe states further that
there are a great many practical
items being offered for holiday gift
giving-any many Of them are def
nitely In the inexpensive category.

Manners
of the
Moment

When you stop to speak to an
acqaintancs, whether 1t be in front
Of the grocery store or at . social
function, and you can tell by his
bamed but polite manner that he
can't remember who you are, 1t
behooves you to take steps.
It's not nice to leave him COM
pletely in the dark. Think OF the
sleepless nights he'll spend trying
to figure 1t out.
Nor is 1t nice to challenge him
by saying, "I bet you don't know
who I am" Then either he has to
give your name or admit that he
has forgotten 1t. And the latter
Is dimcult for some one with .
streak Of poNteness in him.
The best thing to do Is to give
him q series of hints. Say some
thing like this: "The grocer Just
this minute said to me, Mrs. Jones,
do you know what's going to happen
to this country?'"
Then watch the relief spread over
your acquaintance's face. When
you part he will mark down In his
mind that Mrs. Jones Is really an
awfully nice person. JEAN.

pitching WOO" They always start
of with party games, but end up
in the dark Accidentally CD the
lights go out, and then it's every
man for himself.
I don't care much for this sport,
and I'm wondering If you can sug-
gest a way to get out of it without
being considered a sissy. This may
be a large order, but I'm sure I'm
not the first Bashful Bill who has
asked for such advice.
A. Getting out of pitching WOO"
automatically is q tough enough
problem for girl; it's doubly diff
flcult for q boy. OF course, you can
always stand on your principles and
fiatly refuse. But this isn't tactful,
and is likely to make you the sub
ject of q few hoots from the other
fellows.
Your best bet Is to try to join
forces with some girl who has the
same attitude that you have toward
this indoor sport. Then when the
romancing starts, you can simply
sit and discuss how silly the others
are behaving, or something. You'd
probably be doing some modest miss
q favor by thus rescuing her from
an embarrassing situation, and say
ing your own face in the bargain.
Or you might do as did one boy
we know when confronted by a
similar situation. He suddenly
developed q very severe sore throat,
and naturally he couldn't think OF
passing 1t along to some unsuspect-
ing girl!
@. am giving an informal dance
in q hired hall. How should I
greet my guests when they arrive
and what should I say?

shake hands with them as they en-
ter, giving them any necessary in
structions for disposing Of their
coats. Tell them that you are glad
to see them and happy that they
could come. Introduce them to any
other guests standing nearby whom

for q couple Of girls to give q sur
prise birthday party for . fellow?
NV girl friend and I were planning
such . party, but were told 1t would

the amount of gasoline he nigh
use, or set up . credit at . certain
| filling station.
