2 PLAY TO BEGIN THURSDAY ON CHEVY CHASE COURSE Qualifying Round on That Day Will Be at Eighteen Holes—Entry List Closes Tomorrow—New Clubs Join Organization. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ORE than 200 goliers are expected to get together in the last M tournament of the spring seasonm, to be held this week at the Chevy Chase Club—the individual championship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association. e The tourney starts on Thursday with an eighteen-hole qualifying round, the committee having deemed it inadvisable to attempt to make it thirty-six. The experience of tournament committeés about Washing- ton this year has proved that it is difficult enough to start a field to v cighteen holes in one day. There is little hope of the entire list entrants in an open or invitation tourney hereabouts playing thirty- holes in one day. ances already given to the association the fleld | e more truly repre- | best golf within the | 3 n any previous tour- With t&%o new member clubs | ation and the possibility o may be enrolled be- | starts, it appears prob- | petition will bring | six rom ass: of is vear will by £ th Entries close with the executive secretary of the Middle Atlantic Gold ociation.

EW YORK, June 9—Looking back over athletic history for the last twenty years, one will find that practically every year some col- lege or another announced with a flourish of trumpets that here- after the program will not be devoted to making athletic teams, but to providing athletics for all its students. Harvard, however, in declaring for athletics for all has really sensed the siutation as it has been repeatedly outlined by the writer, namely, that the only way to reach such a point is to provide enough ficld equipment so that all can take part in sports At any university that s practl. | impossibility.

OT long ago I made the assertion that footwork in golf constituted a very large percentage of the game. Without a comfortable and | solid stance it would be difficult to accomplish much in the way of ! hitting the ball properly. . The stance is important in every shot that we make; and, consequent- | ly, it varies according to what is required, just as the stance of the boxer | varies according to the blow he is going to strike or to the defense of his opponent’s blows.

The land is the so-called John Mil- ton Greist property, and is the sec- ond largest forest preserve in Con- necticut. It wes purchased by Grel: twenty vears ago, and has since been surrounded with an iron fence eight feet high, while large numbers of deer, elk and other wild game have been herded and bred in the pr serves. In addition, the tract has been a breeding place and refuge for birds, where they have been allowed to nest unmolested. Greist, an extensive manufacturer of sewifig machines in Westville, died several years ago, and since then the pens of wild game have been disposed of, while the tract has remained de- voted to forest growth uncut by paths or roads. A few artificial lakes which Greist_constructed have been devel- oped, but otherwise the land remains in its primitive condition. Half a century ago Donald G. Outmet Has Variation. Francls Ouimet differs from most well known players. He draws the right foot back an inch or two from the line just as I draw the left back. This is “what we might term the, closed stance from want of a better word. Nearly all good players use this stance when they wish to hook the ball, as it is easler to send the clubhead into the ball from thi position. In all three stances the width be- tiveen the feet is just the same. _— the right elbow rests lightly against the side, Don’t hold it tn If one made a chart of the feet and the position of the club on the ground, it would show that the ball is in practicaily the same position in relation to the toes. The ball and the two feet would form almost a triangle. At least, the distance from each toe to the ball would be the same. ‘When Ouimet takes his stance the ball appears to be teed almost op- posite the right heel, while in my own case the ball is about opposite the left heel. . With Duncan and Evans the ball is about In the center. Must Not Rise on Toes. No golfer sver made any succéss out of the game by playing on his toes. there tightly or the action wil be too tight and muscle-bound. Now, in taking the club up be sure to keep the right elbow lightly against the right side—don’t let it come out from there. At the top of the stroke atart the club down easily, keeping the right elbow cl y in at the side and hold it right there clear through. Have it 1 against the right side when Mitchell (Ike Marvel) called it the most picturesque spot in southern Connecticut. He purchased part of it and built the subarban_place he named “My Far 'here he wrote everies of & Bachelor.” Greist erected a superb mansion adjacent to Edgewood, tringing the 200-acre traét which Yale has just purchased. Greist purchased from Mitchell some of the outskirts of the original Edgewood, to be combined in the Greist pre- serves. ' MILLERS GET COLLEGIAN.

NG 4 HIS VICTORIES ON COAST NOT REALLY SIGNIFICANT Earns Triumph Over Griffin, But Defeats of Kinsey X and Johnston Came When Latter Two Stars Were Not Playing Their Games. BY SAMUEL HARDY. GREAT deal of interest has been aroused in the tennis world b the defeats of the three California champions—William Johnston, Clarence Griffin and Robert Kinsey—by Harvey Snodgrass of Los Angeles, a man practically unknown outside his state, but one who plans playing in the east this summer. This triple victory occurred at t Ambassador Hotel winter tournament in Los Angeles. ! While the defeats of Griffin and Kinsey were surprising, considering that the former player had defeated Snodgrass in straight sets the ye.r previous, and that the latter ranked even higher than Griffin, it w Snodgrass’ win over Johnson that really excited the interest and c riosity of the tennis world. Every one knows that Johnston does not throw away any ma and, while we are accustomed to the idea of his being beaten by Tilde his defeat by any one else at once brings that man i 1 was fortunate enough to see all three matches, and was impresse by Snodgrass’ style and with the fighting spirit he showed, but ever do not consider him in any way a sensational find = == = Snodgrass plays an strong attacking game strokes, with all slight break forehand drive is delivered Lenglen takes hers—at the ball either bel flat or slig is swift 11 place s jectry and good lengti hand is his weakest run 1 it for His stroke and 4 forehand d His smashing extremely go is powerful and abnormally k and active I Clever Volleyer.
