Park Headquarters

Notwithstanding rumors to the
contrary. the War Department has
not started move to take over the
golf courses in East and West Po-
tomac Parks. The Once of National
Capital Parks today scotched the
rumor with statement that I'VE
have no information that either or
both Of these golf courses will be
taken over"
For several days rumors have been
spreading to the general effect that
the East Potomac Park area was
to be taken over by the War De-
partment for housing purposes
These rumors also connected West
Potomac and Anacostia Parks with
housing projects for military pur-
poses.
The War Department has made
no announcement of the move and
today the ONCE of National Capital
Parks said it has no knowledge of
any move in that direction or any
idea where the rumors started.
Parts of the golf courses in East
Potomac Park, notably course F
and the driving range, will not be
available when the links season
opens up in the spring, but up to
the present no encroachment has
been made on the major Loeffier-
operated courses south of the field
house in East Potomac Park, and
National Capital Parks has not
been advised of a War Department
intention to take over this area.
Meanwhile, the polo field, which
has been used as a lesson area for
golf purposes, will not be used for
that purpose this year. A coating
OF macadam has been laid over the
polo field which will be used for
automobile parking for defense
workers. For several years Jack
Tucker, pro, has used the polo
field for golf lessons.

The Boston Olympics currently
are pacing their league despite hav-
ing played less games than their
rivals. Their margin over the
fourth-place Eagles is such that the
Olympics could cease playing now,
permit the Eagles to capture nine
straight games and Boston still
would be leading Washington by a
point.
Boston has accumulated 54 points
in "a games, while Washington has
compiled IS points in 81 games, all
of which means the Eagles must
win their remaining % games while
the Olympics do no better than
break even in their 26 tilts for
Washington to win by a point. The
standing then would be 81 points
for the Eagles and 80 for Boston,
but don't bet the family silver that
such events will materialize.
Washington's goal, it seems, must
be limited to third place, which is
no mean objective. The Eagles are
IL points behind the second-place
New York Rovers and seven points
behind the third-place Johnstown
Bluebirds. Trailing the Eagles by
only four points. incidentally, are
the Baltimore Orioles, who regis
tered a A tie with Washington last
night at Riverside Stadium before

season by his close guarding ability.

who hardly was able to buy basket
but who could do everything but
throw a blanket over the man he
