Sixteen Clubs Fostering Game, Which Apparently Is Becoming City’s Leading Pastime—Many Learning on Public Links. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON, although for years a leader in outdoor sports, quite recently has shown a distinct tendency to favor golf as its leading pastime. So fast has the game grown in this city | that there are now not less than sixteen courses constructed or in process | of construction, over which the fast-growing army of golfers do or soon ill battle with par or knit their brows in an effort to learn the funda- rentals of the ancient Scottish game. 3} ¢ . From a meager beginning back in 1894, when the Washington Golf! ub was organized by a group of men, composed of Henry May, William Curtis, John A. Baker, George S.
