Washington So Cold
Il Stops Golf for
Elizabeth Hicks
California Star Eager
To Get Job Writing
Of Women's Sports

Elizabeth Hicks. the mighty golf
ing mite from California, would like
to play golf around Washington, but
she is stymied by the cold.
"Br-r-r" said the foot ! inch
youngster from the Pacific Coast.
They told me it was warm in
Washington, and here I am shiver-
ing. Does it get any colder than
this?" The outside temperature
stood at so degrees, which is all
right for this time of year. In fact,
such weather is considered ideal
among the golf nuts for a WASH
ington winter.
Elizabeth, just now busy with
Christmas shopping with Helen
Dettweiler-her host-thinks she'll
play golf next week, if the tempera-
ture rises a little. But she isn't in
favor of cold weather.
Golf Future Is Bright.
Helen and I played golf a few
days ago at Augusta" said the Hicks
girl. I'm temperature of IS. We
didn't wear heavy sweaters, and the
sun was warm. Br-r-r."
The Hicks girl has a bright fu-
ture in feminine amateur golf, ac-
cording to those who have seen her
play in national championships. For
a little person, judged by golf stand
ards, she cracks that ball long
way. She did all right in the 1899
womens championship. going to the
semifinal. and she'll do better in fu-
ture events For she is just 20 years
of age, and has a good many years
of competition ahead of her.
Wants Job as Writer.
Elizabeth has been ranked third
nationally. just below the winner
Betty Jameson and the runnerup
(Jane Cothran) in the 1910 national
women's championship She hap
pens to be one of the best feminine
golfers ever to hit Washington. If
she happened here in midsummer,
when the tournaments are on, she'd
be a sensation.
Just now the California youngster
isis looking around for a job writing
women's sports. She has a few
writing connections with golf maga-
zines, but she wants regular writ
ing job, one that might work in with
her golf ambitions, she says. She
is getting ready to play the winter
circuit in Florida, and will leave
Washington January 3 for Augusta.
She'll do all right, too, and quite
probably will be the sensation of the
winter tournaments.

Pros Big Dough Drives Coddies to Practice
Lads Eager to Fill Shoes Of Hogan, Nelson Sneod ExPoIs

It's no wonder that a million
ambitious youngsters in thou
sands of golf club caddie pens
throughout the land are putter-
ing around miniature courses,
improving their shotmaking
technique and waiting for the
break that may send them out
to win some of the heavy dough
that goes to the good pro golfer.
Here are some of the reasons,
stated in cold cash, earmarked
as money winnings alone in a
year of campaigning in 1910 by
men who learned about golf the
hard way, in the caddie pen:
Ben Hogan White Plains, N. Y,
$l1,655.
Byron Nelson, Toledo, Ohio,
$9,653.
Sam Snead, Hot Springs, Va,
$9,256.
This money, of course, repre-
sents only the cash winnings of
the top trio in pro golf this year.
Their various pickups, including
Endorsements, salaries and in
come from lessons, will in each
case about double their winnings.
And below the top there are two
score more. many up in the re-
spectacle money, though money
winning in golf hardly compares
with that of the top earnings Ia

Mussolini Changes Names
Of Various Sports

The No. tennis player of Italy
is the Duce, Benito Mussolini. No
one can beat him, thanks to Article
vi, Part 2, of the constitution.
which makes it illegal to win a set
from the Duce, 80 days or 80 lire.
Last summer the Duce worked a
few fast sets in the presence of
newspapermen and proved that his
form never was better.
The Duce never was better" said
the popular tennis expert, Vir.
ginio Gayda, who should know.
In short, things looked good for
Italy in the Axis Cup competition,
and continued to look good until
very recently. Now, it saddens me
to report, all is changed. For one
thing, if the Greeks get hold OF the
Duce and add him to their own
team, Italy's chances are wrecked.
For another thing. there is no more
tennis in Italy anyway.

Now They've Gone Back
To Coesor's Dice

From a source close to source
close to an unimpeachable source,
I learn also that there will be no
more crap-shooting in Italy, as
such. This crude Anglo-American
diversion will give way to "alea
jacta est" form of dice discovered
by Julius Caesar when he hurled
his famous pass on the banks of the
Rubicon.
Should an fashioned citizen
care to invite a few of the boys up
an alley in Naples to caress the
cubes for half an hour, he must
say "alea jacta est" or pay the
legal penalty go days or so lre).
This development, according to
latest reports, has raised hob with
plans for the Axis Cup With Italy
switching from tennis to pallacorda
and Germany still on the tennis
standard, it will be impossible for
the boys to get together. Germany
has firmly refused to play palla-
corda.
II never heard of it," said the
Fuehrer the other day.
Neither did I, A. H." said little
Joe Goebbels, his faithful and win
some secretary.
Hitler Refuses to Play
PoIIocordo With Italy
What will they think of next?"
said A. H., as the boys call him.
That's what I always say, All"
said little Joe.
''Pallacorda!" said the Fuehrer
scornfully.
you said it, A. H." said little
Joe
This conversation, which was re-
layed to me from an unimpeach-
able source. goes on for hours in
the same way I will not quote
it in full. You get the gist. The
Fuehrer will not play ball with
Italy. Not if they call it pallacorda.
Outside of Italy, there is nobody
for the German team to play with.
Having secuted all the tennis play
ers in Europe and added them to
his own squad, the Fuehrer will have
to compete for the Axis Cup by
dealing himself a hand of solitaire,
and it is 3 to l that he will put
a black on a black 10 if nobody
is looking.
The saodest rart of the collapse
of the Axis Cup matches is that
the Duce will not have a chance
to take the court for his alma mater.
They say the Duce is something to
see as he paws the baseline with
his toe ard prepares to deliver
his deadly underhand service. 4.
If anything further breaks in
the Axis Cup situation. we will keep
