Fund From Public Coli
Profits 10 Help Keep
Up Links Is Urged
Mohon, Who Uses Courses,
Feels Plan Is Needed
For Improvements

Establishment OF proper provision
from profits of fund for repairs
and requirements on the public golf
courses of Washington under a COM
plete and comprehensive program is
by Walter w. Mahon, a
public links player.
In a three-page letter addressed
to Secretary of the Interior Ickes. d.
Mahon suggests that before any
credit or actual distribution of profits
is made to the concessionnaire's
stockholders and before any deduc-
ton for excessive salaries to the
concessionnaire's principal stock
holder and his relatives from gross
profits is permitted a proper pro-
vision for repairs and requirements
be required to be set up on the con-
cessionnaire's balance sheet and that
the funds so appropriated be ir-
revocably dedicated to that purpose
and that purpose alone"
Could Have Helped Links.
Present concessionnaire is the S.
G. Leoff1er Operating Co. Under
one title or another S. G. Loefler,
sr., has headed the public links con-
cession in Washington since 1921.
Leoff1er heads the operating COM
pany, and. according to Interior De-
partment figures, has an annual SAL
airy of S18, 500
apparently Improvements, at
least TO the golf courses are not
contemplated" says Mahon's letter
to the Interior Secretary. Evil
IDENTIFY if the net profits from the
operation Of the concession since
1921 had been used for improve
ments instead of being appropriated
for the concessionnaire's stock
holders, the public golf courses
would have been greatly improved
without cost to the Government.
Mahon says it is not possible under
present conditions TO require the net
profits to be used as he suggests.
Objects to "Surcharges."
Mahon also claims a "surcharge"
on beer and soft drinks exists at
East Potomac and Rock Creek golf
courses. 1T is believed" he SAYS,
that the surcharge should not be
imposed. but if it is, it should be
appropriated by the Government"
Last spring a subcommittee of the
House District committee held a
hearing on public golf course opera
ton in connection with a proposed
change in the operation of recrea-
ton facilities within the District of
Columbia. Loeffler and many other
witnesses appeared at the hearing
at which one witness proposed a
broad plan for golf course recon-
struction by setting aside from
profits a fund for such work,

So it is entirely possible, despite
the optimistic statements of some
of the men who handle golf affairs
now, that competitive golf will go
into tailspn for the duration. The
U. S. G. A. wasted no time in calling
off its championships in 1917 and
1918. They'll probably take action
as quickly as possible during this
war period. which means you can
foresee cancellation of all jor
championships in 1912, to be follow
ed Immediately by cancellation of
the minor sectional affairs.

An all-time record for paid-up en-.

A standout last night at King Pin
with 423, Ulrich fired 159 for his

May Abandon All Events.
HE even said there is some talk
of abandoning all our tournaments
in 1912, even the major champion
ships. But we won't know until we
meet Friday and go over the entire
situation"
There is precedent, of course, and
perhaps good deal of public senti-
ment in favor of abandoning all
formal golf affairs during war.
And certainly this one in which the
United States now is up to its Shout
ders, strikes home far more than the
last one.
During thea last war all local
championships were called off for
the duration. The old timers around
town will remember that Edward P.
Eynon, now secretary of the Wash
ington baseball firm, won the Dis
trict championship in 1916 and was
a holdover champ during the war
years. The same thing will happen
to Ralph Bogart if the District asso-
citation cancels its 1912 title Journeys.
So far the District organization IA

and the move of the Maryland
solons is the first in this section to-
ward possible curtailment or even
abandonment OF the usual links
schedule.
Move Based on Finances.

possible that we will not be able to
finance an extensive tournament
schedule next year" That means
the association might not realize
much money from handicap cards,
or from entry fees.

United States fired shots in anger

this year Corpl. Ed Oliver couldn't
get away from his Army duties at
Fort Dix to play in the Open, and
the situation won't be any better
next year.
Local tournaments were aban-
doned all along the links front dur
ing 19l7-18, although in some of
them an entry fee was charged and
the affairs were played as Red Cross

All Journeys May Be of.
So far no one knows just what
will happen to competitive golf in
this country next year. but no ex-

caused If all major tournaments
