Testimony Given By For
mer Show-Girl Failed To
Show Legal Ground For
Granting Decree

Betty Compton today is still
Mrs. James J. Walker. wife of
the former New York mayor. and
the prediction of gossip column
isis that both she and her hus-
band would take new mates this
WRITER has hit at least temper
AIRY setback.
Circuit Judge Arthur Gomez
from Miami Yesterday turned
down the plea of the former
show girl for a divorce based on
extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Walker. the Judge ruled,
had proved incompatability at
the most, and that is not a legal
ground for divorce in Florida.
Charges of mental cruelty grow
ing out of the plaintiffs having
found it necessary to accom-
pany her husband into the spot
light of public life were not
proved, he said.
Judge Gomez heard testimony
in the suit at his office here last
Saturday and it was felt at the
time that Mrs. Wake: and M. H.
Rosenhouse, her attorney, had
done little to prove the alleged
cruelty Mrs. Walker repeated 4
that she and the playboy ex-
mayor were on the best of
terms and a newspaper inter
view she gave in Miami at
Christmas indicated they were
still on the friendliest terms aft

tablish her legal residence.
Judge Gomez decision appar-
emily was at least partly based
on Mrs. Walkers testimony that
she and her husband had remain
cd friendly. Part of the decision
follows:
"The wife testified that she
and the defendant were friendly
and so remain. No evidence was
introduced tending to show any
material alteration, verbal or
otherwise. between the parties
other than the social response
bilities the public life of the de-
PENDANT imposed upon the plain
tiff.
From a study of the case as
q whole the plcadings and proofs
support al hest case of in
compatibility and not case of
cruelty within the meaning of
the law in Florida. Incompat-
ability is not ground for divorce
in this state furthermore. men
tai or physical cruelty presup-
poses some wrongdoing on the
part of one or the other of the
spouses during the marital rela-
tionShip.
''rhe testimony falls far short
of establishing the charge of ex-
treme cruelty by the defendant
TO the plaintiff and divorce
should not be granted on the
pleadings and testimony now be-
fore the court"
The couple married at Cannes,
France. in 1893, about six months
after Walker had resigned as
New York mavor at the height of
the publicity around the Seabury
investigation Of his mayoralty.

Strawberry as Bait.
Nearly 80 years ago we fished with
commercial fisherman who was
noted among his kind for being
willing to try anything to catch
fish. He used the first outriggers
we ever saw on any boat-slim poles
of Georgia pine. He used pound
after pound of lead, fashioning
sinking lures, or any part of his
clothing that might provide another
colored stresmer to troll in the blue
fish and mackerel schools, when the
ones he had weren't catching fish.
His habits taught us that anything
is worth trying in the way of new
ideas in angling. Since. we have
found, more often than not, that
the unorthodox fishermen are the
ones who have the most fun and the
best fishing.

youth got around lot and never
failed to try bait in any water

East, Links Designer,
Predicted Present
Trends OF Game
Fine Implements, Broiny
Pros Have Advanced
Pustime, He Asserts
BY WALTER McCALLUM,

He predicted 10 years ago that the
scoring in important golf champion
ships would be lowered by 10 strokes.
He predicted that IS would be
broken in a national championship
and that a score below go would be
made on standard length, par 10 or
II course, under tournament condi-
tions. He also predicted that the
scoring standard of all players -
amateur and professional-would be
considerably lowered and the game
of golf thereby would be made more
pleasurable for every class of links
man.
J. Victor East. a keen-eyed little
fellow from Australia, doesn't claim
prescience, or the gift of seeing into
the future. But East, the man who
has been Mr.. America in golf club
designing for a score Of years now,
has seen all his predictions come
true.
Scores in Cos Common.
He was sitting in a hotel room
holding a new driver. You would
be surprised at the form and shape
of the golf club of the future" he
said. 1T will be based on funda-
mentally true and proved theories
of dynamics. But it will look queer
compared to this" Yes, I've seen all
my predictions of 10 years ago come
true. The scoring in professional
tournaments nowadays is phenom-
inal. Scores in the Cos are common.
Clayton Heafner, for example, had
four 70s at PinehurSt in the North
and South championship, on par
70 course, and didn't win. He would
have won by a lot of strokes 10 years
ago.
Tommy Armour made my second
prediction come true when he scored
a 81 in the Canadian Open cham
pionship, which he won. And Har-
old McSpaden last winter scored SO
on Texas course with a par of IL"
That, we ventured, would lead any
one to believe that the Improvements
In the implements of the game over
the last decade have mainly been
responsible for the lowered scoring.
Implements Have Been Improved.
Right" said Victor. That is
exactly right. But don't neglect the
human factor. The top professionals
of today train for their task as do
any other top performers. They
have to win to eat, and If they relax
training they don't win. But I'd
guess there were just as many good
shotmakers 80 years ago as there are
today. It's the improvement in the
implements that has brought about
the low scoring we see today. The
ball is better, the clubs are better,
and the courses themselves are bet
ter groomed. And don't forget that
sand wedge"
Victor should know. He has been
designing golf clubs for you and you
over quite a stretch, and his pre-
dictions have worked out 100 per
cent correctly. And we'll see fur
ther improvements" he added.

Lesson From Husband
Helps Mrs. WaIper

Proves What Her Gome
Needed to Win Keefer
Tourney With Net l72

Marie Walpers casually tossed-in
instruction by her husband bore
fruit. Marie today holds the Keefer
Golf Trophy, won by single stroke
in the 36-hole handicap tourney
which ended today at Chevy Chase.
She took a short lesson from her
husband Sunday night. Leo happens
to be one of the top pros around
town. Swing that clubhead like
a fail" said Leo. 1t worked, for prior
to that Marie had been playing in
differently. Despite four-over-par
7 on the 10th hole, she scored a 80
over the last round yesterday, to
give her tWo-day gross total OF
172, and a net total of 1862. That was
good enough to win by stroke, for
Mrs. Kurtz Hanson of Chevy Chase
had 99-96-195-32-163.
Yesterdays proceedings were made
merrier by one of those little argu-
ments that come up in golf every
once in a while. Mrs. Walter r.
Stokes hadn't signed her score card,
which added up to 81, according to
her partners. But she had a 3 on
the 10th hole, and an actual 86. The
81 put her in tie with Betty Meek
ley for the gross prize, both with
173. The WomenS District Golf AS
Sociation Tour a m n t Committee
went into a huddle on it, but Betty
cut the Gordian knot by withdraw
ing from the tie. That settled the
whole thing without an official rul-
ing. But there were interesting
angles. The card wasn't signed. for

Spots for Trout Anglers.
Anglers in this section, who like
trout fishing best, have distinct
advantage over anglers, in other
areas for they are ringed by ma
tional forests and parks-Shenan-
doah National Park, George Wash
ington and Jefferson National
Forests in Virginia, Monongahela
National Forest in West Virginia
and Allegheny National Forest in
Pennsylvania. With the exception
of jefferson, all are within a few
hours drive and they have streams
which are able to supply the maxi
mum of good fishing.
We find anglers are fishing these
streams more and more each year
and, even though forest rangers are
helpful in getting them on the right
streams after they get there, it
seems they prefer to plan their
trips ahead for these forests do
cover thousands of square miles.
So that it might help, we are
noting the best stocked streams,
streams recommended by forest au-
thoritieS and waters on which con-
siderable time and effort have been
spent to supply stream anglers with
better trouting.

Rich Florida Fishing Season at Hand;
Capital Trout Anglers Favored

With the windup of the Greater
Miami Fishing Tournament, reports
of Washingtonians fishing in South
ern Florida waters usually slow
down, but not this season. Local
anglers are going down in greater
numbers than ever, and later. They
are learning May is just the start
of the real fishing, which reaches
its peak from mid-June to late in
July.
Most important, We would say,
was the sailfiSh caught by Mrs.
Mabel w. Pairo, 827 Marietta place
NV, because it required five an
nual visits to Miami Beach to turn
the trick. Well worth it, however,
for the big fish brought a thrill
beyond anything she ever had eX-
perienced. SailfiSh have a way of
lifting anglers to piscatorial heights
If Mrs. Pairo was willing to spend
five years to catch her first sail,
there is little doubt she will con-
tinue to go back-year after year,
but she never will receive quite the
same flutter this first fish brought
her.
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Lawson,
1886 Monroe street NE, fiShed last
week out of Pidgeon Key Fishing
Camp. The catch was varied, as
catches usually are in this area
traversed by the 7-mile bridge.
The fish making what usually is
termed perfect day was 53-pound
amberjack.
Al Jolson, who still claims Wash
ington as his home, is fishing out
of Plantation Key Yacht Club and
sticking to the big grouper that al
most always are found just inside
Alligator Reef light.
Hazel Wright, fishing the reefs
off Miami Beach, caught an l8-
pound mutton snapper and 1872
pound gray snapper. The latter is
swell fighter and if we know the
