portunity when George Schoux, the
freshman sensation of the winter
tour, decided not to return to
Winged Foot this year in favor of
playing through the summer tour
nament circuit
The Winged Foot members gave
SchouX his start on the tour this

Worsham family. Barnett has not
announced who will replace Buck on
the Chevy Chase staff.

on American and Canadian lines amounted

some credit for the fact that throughout the

The job of the Railway police, in short, is
to protect both people and property in sta

to guarding people against their own foibles.

vR.S UPSET Schedules
ONE of the more specialized jobs of the
railway police is the protection of famous and
important travellers Presidents are a singu-
larly difficult charge, and the police 60 to
elaborate lengths to safeguard them. They
will not disclose all of their methods but
few of them will give you an idea. On some
lines, when Presidents train is ON the
rails, no other train may pass it in either
direction. There is always the remote
possibility that the second train might
be derailed and cause a smash-up. Doz-
ems. perhaps hundreds, of trains must be
stopped. entailing an enormously complicated
revision of schedules. Freight trains, for
example, are run onto sidings before the
Presidents train passes. Bridges, crossings.
underpasses and tracks are carefully inspected.
Some lines run pilot engine ahead of the
train for the entire journey.
President Roosevelt was great railroad
traveller, especially between Washington and
Hyde Park. and the police of the Baltimore
and Ohio probably knew as much about his
weekend whereabouts as anyone in the
country.
Roosevelt's train often came into Pennsyl
vania Station too, and whenever it stopped
there, 50 or 60 railway police stood guard
around it. Lieutenant Thompson likes to
recall the time he found Fala on the station
platform as the Presidents train was pulling

yards are flood-lighted and closely guarded
during night loadings. Police often ride in
locomotives or cabooses to watch the cars en-
route and at station and watering stops.
The police chief of one railroad tells of
typical freight-robbery case. Hundreds of
large boxes of cigarettes we're disappear
ing from shipments coming out of the
Potomac yards near Washington. Police
found that two men would climb to the top
of cigarette car in the yards. After the train
pulled out, one would lower himself by rope
ladder, break the door seal and. while the
other stood watch, fling dozens of boxes out
along the right-of-way where acoomplices
waited to pick them up.
This same police chief says that in the
past 30 years Is of his men have been shot to
death in freight duty. Not by big time gang
sters, but by unauthorized riders - ordinary
hobos - who happened to be armed and just
lost their heads when they were caught. Many
of these men have criminal records and are
wanted by the regular police.
"A few years ago in West Virginia, out of
four hundred men arrested for unauthorized
riding, one hundred and twenty had previous
records and thirty-five were wanted for major
crimes in other places. So when we turn them
over to civil authorities, we're rendering
service that goes beyond railway protection,
l tell you this because lot of folks are senti-
mental about hobos and think we're too
tough on them.'
