Dispute With Armory
Over $3.50 Bill May
Shift School Games

The District public high schools
will return their basket ball games
to the handbook Mckinley Tech
gymnasium this winter, If officials
of the National Guard Armory in
sist on payment of the $3.50 bill
the high schools ran up last season.
This situation was disclosed today,
after it was learned at the District
Building that school officials are
baking at requests that they pay
last years rental bill.
Hardy Pearce, athletic director Of
the school system, and Birch Bayh,
director of health and physical edu-
cation, agree that payment of any
more than expenses of using the
Armory by the schools is out of
the question.
Reconsideration Urged.
The financial burden of meeting
the Armory bill would seriously
hamper" the high school athletic
program this year, the school Of
ficials agreed. MIR. Pearce said he
would ask School Supt. Hobart M.
Corning to write a letter asking
Arthur j. Dutch" Bergman, Arm
ory manager, to reconsider the bill.
Mr.. Peace and Mr.. Bayfl contend
that, since the schools are a District
agency and the Armory is District
property, the schools should not be
charged for use of the hall. As part
of the same organization, they
maintain, the schools should be
given special consideration.
One difficulty in the path of re-
sumption Of the high school basket
ball games to Tech is the fact that
Washington's new fire egress regu-
lations have reduced the Tech seat
ing capacity from 5000 to 800.
Rate $500 Night.
Mr.. Pearce said the schools could
afford to pay only the S100-a-night
expenses for the nine nights they
used the Armory last winter. They
also paid part of the 100000 public
liability insurance policy required
for the Armory and contributed
$500 of their proceeds to help meet
the $4,000 bill for new Armory seats
District officials have credited
these payments to the schools ac-
count.
At a meeting last week, Mr.. Berg
man asked the Armory Control
Board-made up of Leonard P.
Walsh, Commissioner John Russell
Young and Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Cox. commander of the District
National Guard-to consider lower
prices for the schools. The rate
at present is $500 a night, or Is
per cent of the gate.
Commercial organizations pay a
much higher fee.

For Mid-AtIuntic Golf Luurels

ton by the sizahles gallery around
the 18th green as to the putt Mrs.
Bower refused to give her youthful
opponent. 1t was not more than
inches, not less than S. Missy ogel
said later that Mrs. Bower said. "a
guess I'm a hard loser, but I3gaaess
youth have, to putt it as 1t means
the match"
A number OF people said they had
never seen such a short putt not
conceded in match play, but Con-
gressional Pro Witty Cox said he
saw a pro miss one that size once
and several men in the gallery ap-
plauded Mrs. Bower for the act.
They're supposed to putt 'em all,
I don't believe in conceding any,
thing" one of the golf officials said.
After all, they came to play"
Mrs. Bowers Long Game Keen.
Contrary to the opinion that the
Baltimore Country Club player is a
powerful hitter for woman golfer,
Mrs. Bower outdrove her on al
most every hole and often used
irons to greens where Miss Vogel
was using woods.
Mrs. Stokes took over the leading
role in regard to the lowest score
yesterday. When the 1889 and 46
Middle Atlantic champion ended
her match with Mrs. Schluderberg,
also a Baltimore Country Club
player and the Maryland State
finalist last year, Mrs. Stokes
needed par in for a 70. She lost
the first hole. was up at the turn
and halved the first five holes on
the back nine. M. w.
