BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The chips were down today at
Manor. as the District women's
championship drew toward the final
round scheduled for tomorrow morn
ing The chips were down mostly
in the meeting of two linkswomen
who have come up fast over the past
three years. They are Mrs. Myron
Davy of Columbia. the woman who
never has won big championship,
yet sports the lowest handicap ID
of any competitor around Washing
ton, and Mrs. Walter R. Stokes of
Manor, who holds the Maryland
State title You could ask 10 people
and get different guesses as to the
winner Of that match, with the
winner to advance to the final.
AS to the other semi-flnal match
you'd find only one answer, if you
asked a dozen people. That would
be Betty Meckley. Betty played
Mrs. Hume Peabody of Army Navy
today in a seminal match, and
on the form she has shown so lar
should win without trouble.
However, there's always that queS-
ton. for you don't win golf matches
in the women's grill. You win 'em
on the golf course: Mrs. Peabody
has been a semifinalist in the last
two District championships. That
speaks for consistency.
The only close match in yester-
days quarter-flnal round was that
in which Mrs. Stokes licked Mrs.
Thomas F. Neblett, the newcomer
from Louisiana. Mrs. Stokes was 2
up with to go. But Mrs. Neblett
turned on the heat and squared.
Mrs. Stokes won the extra hole
with 5.
Second flight pairings were:
Mrs. A A McEn;ee Kenwood. VS. Mrs
J. F. Daily. Manor; Mrs o. NJ. Reed.
Thd sR parnrs Mrs Mi a A KnoS
Chevy Chase VS.. Mrs H A. Nef. Manor
Mr.. Gilbert Hahn. Woodmont VS.. Mrs.
NJ NJ Maxwell, Army Navy.
Lewis Leads at Chevy Chase.
John F. Brawner, defending
champ in the Chevy Chase Club
title tourney. started the third
round in the 72-hole tourney today
one stroke behind Reeve Lewis, and
10 strokes in front of the other
competitor for the Hortsmann Cup.
Brawner yesterday added q 10
to his opening round 81 for a total
of 100. Lewis scored 80 and 70 for
159 while AShmead Fuller added
another IS to his opening round of
the same score. They'll play the
final round tomorrow.
The Maryland State Golf Asso-
citation tomorrow will hold a field
day tourney for women at the
Country Club of Maryland, but it
isn't likely that many Washington
women will take part. Those who
will not be playing in the finals of
the six flights in the District cham
pionship will be watching the cham
piCnship final.
1t will be the first such field day
held by the State association. They
should have consulted the Women's
District Golf Association calendar
before they scheduled such a tour
ney on the final day of the District

At Rolling Road

Al Houghton, the Beaver Dam
whirlWind, is at it again, plucking
dollars from the pockets of his
fellow pros.
All Al did yesterday, in one of
those one-day Journeys of the
Maryland State Golf Association,
was set new record of Sc for the
Rolling Road Golf Club course: grab
all the marbles in the pro sweep
stakes, and with Jess Baggett tie
for the pro-amateur award with a
best ball of 60 Tied with them
were Ralph Beach and Arnold Lit
man of Suburban. Earle Skinker
showed he wasn't hurt in that little
brush with an automobile by tieing
with Edgar Lucas for low gross in
the amateur sweepstakes at rs.

NEW YORK. March 29.-Colo-
RADIO & Southern 2s backed by a
company announcement that May l
interest would be paid, stood out
in the bond market today.
The turnover of 573 bonds was
nearly 10 per cent of the short seS-
sion's total volume of S5 ,92O, 700 face
value, and the price rose from Fri
days close Of 1624 to end at 20Ss
A substantial chunk of the remain
ing business was done in St. Paul
Adjustment IS of 1000, which tackled
on as of a point to end at 2ss on
dealings of 483 bonds.
Other rail bonds, especially re-
ceivership and secondary loans,
showed general fractional advances.
Boston & Maine 4 IS added a point.
United States Governments were
nearly ignored in the listed market,
but in telephone trading outside the
exchange fair business was done at
a shade under previous finals.
In the foreign dollar section. Den
mark 6s rose 4 points and there was
mild nibbling at some Latin Amer
leans, especially asSented Panama SIS.

by TIE Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, March 29.-George
D. Brooke received a raise of nearly
SIS 900 last year for serving as preSi-
dent of Chesapeake e. Ohio, Nickel
Plate and Pere Marquette Railroads,
the parent c. & O.'s proxy statement
showed yesterday.
BroOke'S 1910 salary was given as
$76,420, against SCI ,655 for 1899. The
raise places him among the highest
paid railroad presidents.
The proxy statement for the April
% annual meeting confirmed what
railroad circles heard before-that
the late Earle Bailie of New York
would not be replaced on the board
All l3 present directors have been
put up for reelection.
Stockholders were asked to ap-
prove one proposed bylaw amend
ment which the C. & o. explained
lis to provide for indemnification
of directors for expenses (but not
for amounts paid in settlemenD in
connection with claims and suits
whe nthe directors have not been
derelict in the performance of their
duty"
The road pointed out similar by
laws have been adopted "by many
corporations" because directors are
entitled to this measure of protec-
ton and that, in view of an ap-
parently increasing tendency to in
stitute suits of this character. it
may become more and more diff
cult to secure the services of COM
petent directors unless such protec-
ton shall be afforded"

TRIDUUM CLOSES
 AT ST. MARCARET'S
Servite Father Dedicates NOvenas to World Peace;
 Advises Youth

The iridium of Our Lady of Sor- rows conducted at St. Margaret's church, Willow street, closed last night with the regular Friday night novena services, sermon preached by a Servite father from Chicago who conducted the iridium and Benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment.
 The iridium was opened Wednes- day night, It's purpose to renew. in- terest in the novena to Our Sorrow full Mother. The novena last night ard all succeeding novenas will be dedicated to peace, until peace has been restored to the world. The theme of the iridium was peace, peace in the home and peace in the world. The Servite father delivered Q very pertinent sermon last night which dealt with the ills of the day, which were bringing about the downfall of nations spiritually.
 He warned the youth of the dan- gers of false teachings, Communism and so forth which have permeated educational, government, social and industrial fields. He referred briefly to the practice and acceptance of birth control in all parts of the country, even in our own state and city, he said. The lack of religion was most apparent, he said, and as other countries have experienced 1t, so also might our own country one day experience religious persecution.
