Servicemen Making More Use
Of Country Club Privileges
Free Golf on Public Links Urged for Them;
}. c. HoIzberg Plays Washington in 66

The boys in the armed services
are going for country club golf in a
big way, but they'd like it better
if they had some way to get to the
clubs quicker. Their time is limited,
you see, and they don't want to
waste it in travelling. They'd arther
be playing golf.
Three CLUBS around town have
opened their doors to service men in
uniform, without green fees, on days
other than week ends and holidays
It's f1ne gesture Congressional
Indian Spring and Woodmont have
made, and some Of the other clubs
which do not have heavy week day
play, would do well to follow their
lead. Woodmont isn't actually open
to any number of servicemen, but
Is open only to a limited number
because, Coli Chairman Leopold
Freudberg explains, the course has
only nine holes and would be over
crowded If servicemen were given
carte blanche authority to play.
Mast Play at Indian Spring.
Heaviest concentration Of the
service golfers has been at Indian
Spring, probably because OF the
comparative ease of reaching the
Four Corners club by bus. Con-
gressional is not on public trans
portation line, but the club bus can
pick up limited number Of passen-
gers at Chevy Chase Circle.
I'VE have been averaging around
80 service men a week here" saic
Mel Shorey, Indian Spring pro
"Some weeks we run many more
than that but an average Of 80 or 81
"a week would be about right
| Congressional was used only by
80 service men during June, but
they've started using it in greater
numbers and probably this will be
doubled when the figures for July
are in. Officers are welcome al
these clubs but must pay a reduced
green fee. It's Johnny DoughboJ
or George the Cob the clubs want
to welcome, since they don't have
the cash to lay out on golf greer
fees.
Publinx Could Waive Fees.
But there's a big gap in golf which
could be filled for the service boys
I mean the matter of reduced fee
at the public courses, or even letting
them play the public layouts with
out green fees of any kind. Boy
in uniform are welcome withou
green fees at seven New York publ,
courses. The same thing could b'
done here, and should be done. O.
at least they might get reduced
green fee of perhaps 10 cents eacl
9, or IS cents for 18 holes.
Green fees at the public course
here are very low, set at Is cent
!, for 9 holes and 25 cents for l
, holes on weekdays, Is cents for
| on Saturdays, Sundays and holi
days, and so cents for 18 on thos
days. The boys in uniform do no
have much money to spend an
should have a reduction In gree
fees or complete waving of them.

cinch to win over Washington Eagles

respectively.
An even tighter picture is pre-
sented in the junior section, which
finishes its flrst-half schedule Sun
day. The Eastern Branch Boys Club
team, undefeated in five games,
plays Washington Flour, winner of
four straight.
A victory for the Boys Club nine
would give it the flag, while should
the Millers triumph they would
need to win over Immaculate Con-
ception to cop the banner. They are
regarded as more or less of a cinch
to take Immaculate Conception, so
everything hinges on that first game.

The Flathead River is twistinga'
boiling witch of a river that churns
through the Rockies in Glacier
Park.
It's a must" with the lovably in
sane who think trout fishing is life's
greatest experience. They rush in
here from every State just for two
days on the Flathead and for a
trout.
But catching a F..athead trout
now is little like finding a cat dia-
mond in the back yard. Because
there is only one man left who will
take a boat down the treacherous
river.
Famous as Hunter.
He's Ct. He's studied that river
for Al years. Began when the only
neighbors were Blackfeet Indians.
He's never spilled a boat, but he's
helped find the bodies OF other men
who dared and failed.

What lies ahead for the profess
sional game, however, is prob
lematical. The squads may be
smaller, and the attendance may
show a sharp decline from the
banner, big money year Of 1s41. Re
placements must be made because
of the terrific loss in personnel.
The league now has 158 men in
the armed services. This figure
includes 121 of the 346 men who
played in the league games last year
and 81 players who were members
of the National League teams at the
close of the 1910 season, but who
were called last summer before the
opening of the training season.
Holds Athletics Necessary.
All of that Is not disturbing to
Layden, who breaches that COM
petitive athletics are necessary
elements in American life. He says:
"They promote the essential at
tributes of teamwork, sef-sacrifice,
and loyalty, around which we rally
in times of stress. For generations
| they have served as the common
bond between the young and the old,
rich and poor. If democracy means
anything at all, its dynamic powers
and Justification must spring from
its spirit and not from the political
theories, laws or constitution in
which the system is expressed.
Nowhere is this spirit more
| prevalent than in competitive ath-
letics."
Strangely enough, Layden believes
the Army may develop elevens that
will be the outstanding aggregations
in the country.
There will be some great football
played this year" Layden predicted
"and the best of it most likely will
develop in the games between the

Long Route Now Run
As Sprint Takes All

Race for Thoroughbred
Also Greater Strain
Than Longer Events

Special Correspondent of The Star

Special Correspondent of The Star.
What are the toughest, hardest
running distances for man and for
horse? We showed this debate along
to number of we'll known trainers
who handle both the human and
the equine breed.
Years ago, many years ago." an
old-time track coach told us, eve
figured it was the quarter mile,
which was all sprint Then we
moved it up to the half, which now
is all sprint But in the last few
years we've decided that the mile
is the hardest test on the human
system. 1t was different when they
were running the mile around Alb
or 4;20. But when you turn in a
mile at 4:10 or better, you are Civ
ing out all the system has to offer.
'It IS possible to run mile around
four minutes fiat. But we won't
see that for some time. Such miles
as Glenn Cunningham ran were
largely sprints. They were terrific.
I should say that a fast 4:10 or
better mile today is the toughest
race on The track"
Mile Also Hardest for Horses.
This distance goes for a horse,
too" JOHN Partridge, the veteran,
sd. The mile is the hardest race.
I mean a fast mile.
you hear people talking about
the strain of a mile and a half or
even 2 miles They forget that in
these longer distances there is a
lot of -loahng. Steeplechasers
can go 2 miles or longer, carrying
$50 pounds, taking the jumps, with
out being worn down. But when a
horse runs a mile around 1856 he
is going all out. He can't be saving
anything"
This recalls Johnstown's speed
and what it did to him. Johnstown
in more than one workout beat 1:34.
No other horse ever ran that fast.

old-timer said "about the fighters

Because everything that can be

Records Bettered Steadily.
''New records are being set in
every sport from year to year.
Can't you remember when 13 feet

in the high jump. You'll see 81
seconds in the 100 soon. Look at
all the old swimming records. Look
at practically every competition you
can time or measure.
They talk about the great pitchers
of the past" he continued. eve
know they were good. But suppose
Bob Grove or Bob Feller had been
allowed to work with a dead, half
black or fuzzy ball? Or Dizzy Dean?
You'd have seen 20 strike-outs more
than once. And you'd have seen
more than few no-hit games.
Cant you remember when around
