knights Of the Shining
Rail

Here's to the knights of the shining
rail,
They who their schedules never
fail;
Both engine and train they make
do their will.
And when they come in it sure is
a thrill.
Here's to the men that travel night
and day,
And on pay day give their wives
their pay;
They pull the whistle and ply the
brakes
anon,
And do their job we'll whenever
they're on.
When duty calls they're always
there
And do their task without fanfare;
Knights they are of the shining
rail,
When trains are due they never
fail.
SO cheer the knights that man the
train,
And hills and hauls and distance
tame;
May their trains never cease to
run,
And all their work e'er be we'll
done.
Here's to the men that have quit
the trail,
That no longer ride the shining
rail;
May retirement, quiet, bring them
peace,
And the mem'ry of their service
never cease,

Demands of Congressional Job
Make Cox Quit Tourney Golf

Witty Cox, Congressional Coun-
try Club pro, pretty definitely is
through with continuous tourna-
ment golf. Witty didn't attempt to
qualify. for this years p. G. A.,
which set us asking questions.
why don't you try to make all the
big ones?" we asked Witty.
II have job on my hands there
at Congressional" he said. 1T Is q
full-time job, and takes all I have.
Now, with the improvement sched-
ule coming up I'll have more to
do with watered fairways and a new
nine being talked about. And as
for tournament golf, it doesn't in
terest me any more.
I'm not fooling when I tell you
that to hope to get anywhere in
tournaments nowadays you have to
keep in training for II months q
year. And I mean training on Moth
ing but competitive golf. Halfway
stuff won't do. You have to be
in there pitching all the time, or
you won't make expenses.
"a club pro, giving lessons and
taking care of golf course has a
hard time doing that. I find it
almost impossible. I'm pretty busy,
you know. That's why the club pro
is behind the eight-ball against the
tournament crowd, no matter how
good q golfer he happens to be.

Indian Spring to Remain 9-HoIe
Course With Part of Former
Layout Used for Practice

with you that Indian Spring isn't
getting along all right. Months ago,
in view of the nine-hole course.
club authorities put a limit of 200
on the membership list. That now
has been increased to 225, new men,
bers are paying an initiation fee
and everything is on an up-and-
coming basis at the club which used
to have one Of the best golf courses
in the East. Indeed, before the
spread of watered fairways Indian
Spring seriously was talked about
as a venue for one of the big cham
pionships. That wouldn't be pos
sible these days, of course, for the
United States Golf Association
doesn't send one of its major affairs
to any but watered fairway course.
But Indian Spring. shortly after
Tom Moore built it. was a very good
golf course. And the present nine
remains one of the best.
Anacostia Has Sunday Date.
Among team matches billed for

lions.

And that's the reason I didn't. play
in the P. G. A.; that and the fact
that I don't like match play. But
don't get me wrong. I'm not vain.
Maybe I could do all right in the
big tournaments again if I trained
for them and went after my game.
Maybe I couldn't. But there isn't
any use hoping you can win when
you get a chance to play golf about
twice q week. Tournaments aren't
won that way.
They're won by practice and more
practice and playing golf day in
and day out until it becomes a rou-
tine. The club pro can't do that.
Nope, guess my big tournament
days are over. Oh, sure. I'll play
in a few of 'em around Florida or
wherever I happen to be. But my
job comes first and I know I can't
compete with the boys who play
in them all the time"
Witty is no has-been in golf. For
any stretch of tournament play he
can whip that ball around with the
best of them. But he doesn't have

to win tournaments like these.
