THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO - Chevy Chase Now Has Ranking Course : Classy Field Is Assured at Worcester ALTERATIONS MAKE LINK RIGOROUS TEST OF GOLF Relatively Easy Layout of Two Years Ago Has Been | ... s tugging at the imes of an Transformed Into Stiff Proposition by Exten- sive Program of Changes. BY W. R. McCALLUM. signed to make the course N EARING the end of a program of bunkering and changes de- a more rigorous test of golf, the Chevy Chase Club has changed a relatively easy golf course of two vears ago into a really stiff test of the game and made of the club’s layout one which today stands at the top in point of difficulty with any links in the middle Atlantic section. ) Two years ago, under the chairmanship of Morven Thompson, one of the prominent golfers of this section, the golf committee embarked on a program of bunkering and rearrangement of some of the minor features of the course with the firm and at the same time retaining the Chase Club course one of the most attractive, from a playing s This the commiteee has accomplished, and about the National Capital. intention of maknig it more difficult features that have made the Chevy ng standpoint, today the Chevy Chase course stands out as one of the really hard tests of the game about the city During the last two years changes have been made in ary hole on the course, with the exception of three, which the committee deemed were diffi- éult epough. The latest chang one m difficult to accompl that of bunkering the ninth hole, where A beautiful strip of greensward looks out across the club property toward Wisconsin avenue. Today workmen have under construction a small bunker just north of the g n which will catch a hooked ball, and at the same time stop R tee = from the ninth tee from go- ing intc ip of t north of the green bunker will not destroy the beauty tlook from the club- house @wdd to the merit of the hole from a golf standpoint. Even though Chevy Chase. its length, was n average golfer two the golf com golfers found no troub scores o¥er the cours. their shots almost and find no particular factor, combined with of ampte size, made easy. Object Has Been Obtained. Noting this, the committee determined to stiffen the course, and make the man ho would turn in a low score Chevy n the strajght and narrow hole. That the committee eeded there can be no doubt, for a shot off the line now finds trouble of no uncertain degree Within the last two years bunkers have been placed at the right and left first fafr to catch badly e shots; in the center of the rway to catch an underplayed second shot; and a new green has been built at the third hole, a well trapped affair which demands unerring ac- curacy on the second shot. A new tee has been built for the fourth hole and the construction of the guarding ditch changed to make it imperative that a clean, high shot be played to this one-shot hole. The fifth hole has been changed en- tirely, made longer and with a green Well trapped, and today it stands out a8 one of the gems of the course. Sixth Completely Altered. sixth has been made into a tw based on for the ring in low could place ywhere off the line trouble. This putting greens w scoring rather The altered completely shotter and rigorously trapped throughout its en- tire length, with bunkers to catch misplaced shots off the tee and to the green The seventh has been stiffened to demand a well placed drive and a new green has been bullt demanding a high second shot with stop to a well bunkered green: The eighth practically 1s unchanged and the ninth has a bunker now under con- struction. while the tenth remains the same challenging one-shot hole it always has been. Traps have been scattered down both sides of the eleventh fairway to cateh badly placed tee shots and a small trap has been placed at the left of the fairway to catch a hooked seeond shot which does not reach the guarding ditch, while bunkering of the twelfth has been changed to con- form to modern standards, both with regard to the tee shot and the sec- ond shot. The green at the short thriteenth has been raised at the rear to permit a freer shot at the hole, and new traps have been sprinkled down the sides of the fourteenth fairway to keep the player on the line on this difficult hole. New Traps on Fifteenth. Two new traps have been placed on the fifteenth, one to ‘catch a tee shot to the right and another to catch a sliced second shot, while small trees e the fifteenth and sixteenth Traps have been placed at the left of the approach to the six- teenth green and the back of the green Itself raised The seventeenth, the finest hole on the course, and a real architectural gem, has not been changed in two years. A real golf hole, it demands two finely placed shots. The big bunkers guarding the green severely penalize a second shot off the lime. New traps have been placed at the right and left of the eighteenth fair- way to catch a tee shot off the line and the approach has been narrowed down to necessitate an accurate sec- ond shot. 3 In every respect the golf course of the Chevy Chase @lub now stands as a great test of the game, where two years ago its length alone made it a hard courss JOCK HUTCH COMING HERE FOR MATCH NEXT SUNDAY OLAND R. MacK ZIE and Dave Thomson have a rough road in front of them next Sunday in an exhibition match at the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club, opening the exhibition season around Washington. Jock Hutchison of Chicago, well known and popular in Washington, will be the partner of Johnn pion and Thomson, firmation of Hutchison the Washington Golf and Country Club pro. acceptance of the engagement came from Farrell v Farrell against the District amateur cham- Con- last night to F. D. Paxton, chairman of the goli committee of the Vir- ia organization. B e Ciice of & partner for Farrell y between Hutchison and Tommy rmour, who has made a notable Te ord in the South this Winter, and Far- rell, after negotiations, obtained Hutchi son for the Match. It will be a 36-hole affair, with the first round starting at 9:30 o'clock and the second round at 1:30. Last November Farrell and Gene Sarazen played against MacKenzie and Thomson at Washington, defeating the ocal amateur-pro duo on the seven- teenth hole after one of the finest matches ever seen about Washington. MacKenzie and Thomson led over the first 18 holes by 3 up, but accurate chip shots on the part of Farrell, two of which he holed, together with the splen- did putting of Sarazen, brought victory to the New York pros. A prize was put up by the golf committee of the club on the occaslon of the previous match for the player who broke 70 over the course, but the lowest score was a 72 by Far- rell, tieing the amateur record. Roland MacKenzie will play the course in practice today with Thomson, Albert R. MacKenzie and W. R. McCal- lum. Fred MclLeod, Columbia’'s popular professional, will arrive in Washing- ton Thursday night or Friday from Pinehurst, where he will play in the North and South open championship 1o be held there mext Tuesday and Wednesday. Leo' Diegel of New York, formerly pro at the Friendship Club here and one of the most pop- ular professionals ever to play about Washington, will be with McLeod. Diegel wiil be in Washington nearly the entire month of May before going to his new post near New York. \ Col. L. C. Garnett, one of the lead- ing players of the Washington Club, did ome of the extraordinary things that make golf interesting y at Washington Garpett's ball off the tee at tue seventeenth hole dropped into the ditch, bounced agalnst the stairs in the 30-foot deep ditoh and rolled up_the bank out on the opposite fairway. The fact that the bajl ran through a 30-foot ditch s regarded at Washington as one of the most unusual shots ever seen on the hole. * Max Beck, assistant to E, W. Tur- ville, manager of the Columbia Coun- try Club, has been engauged by the Washington Golf and Country Club as its manager and will take charge in a few days Henry D. Miler, pro at Rock Creek last year, will take over entire charge of the professional's work at the Bea- ver Dam Club on April 1. Miller has been spending the week ends at the club for the last three weeks. A program of montbly and weekly events for membérs of the Indian Spring Golf Club was announced last night by Chairman De Farges of the Zolf committee. The events scheduled will be in addition to the club’s third annual invitation tourney to be held April 29, 30, May 1 and 2, and the women's invitation event in June, dates for which will be announced later. The committee has arranged for »weopatakes {n.April to be held each Satbrday aflernoon and Sunday. Dur ing the month all members will be required to turn in at least three cards of 18 holes for guidance of the handicap committee. Beginning in May monthly ringer tournaments will be held, played in two classes, the first class having handicaps of under 18, while the sec- ond class will include players with handicaps over that figure. The Sat- urday affernoon and Sunday sweep- stakes tourneys wlill be played throughout the season from the handicaps arranged in April. Indian Spring will hold a minlature tournament on May 80, while the event on July 4 'Will be a tombstcne tournament. Another minfagure tour- nament will be held on Labor day, and mixed Scotch foursome events have been arranged for June and August. The club championship will be played in September, with quaii- fying rounds to be played Saturday, September 12, and the following day. There will be four flights of eight players each. The women's cham- plonship will be played about the same time, but the dates have not yet been set. $ Indian Spring has just taken in 89 new members as a result of a mem- bership campaign instituted seven weeks ago with C. Chester Caywood as chairman of the committee in charge. Preparations have been made to install additional accommodations to take care of the new members. Transfer last week of the women's locker room from the old clubhouse to the new house leaves the entire old club house as men's quarters, and work now is under way to provide a grill, card and rest rooms, iddlllunl]_ locker accommodations and shower baths. The club has engaged a greenkeeper of national prominence, whose name has not been made public, but who will take charge of the course next week, and has inaugurated & unique system In connection with the care of the putting greens. A greens com- mittee of 13 men has been formed, with each member assigned tq over- see the care of one green. A big {m- provement in \thec onhdition of the putting greens at Indian Spring is ex- pected to result from this system. The club has embarked upon a seed- ing and sewing campaign designed to cover the bare spots n the fairway, to be aided by the placing of sod in tae particularly bad places, and in every way is speeding up work on the course so as to have it in first-class shape for the opening of the Spring tournament season, beginning on April 29, R. Cliff MeKimmie, star amateur golfer of Bannockburn until he turned professional a few weeks ago, will remain at the golf school of H. D. Miller until he obtains a post with one of the Washingtom clubs. ‘Work in building the green fee course of the Seven Oaks Golf and Country. Club, to be located just north of Silver Spring, will get un- der way within a few days. .Jt is hoped to complete the course and have it ready for play by next B?rln‘. vl SRS ‘WEST POINT, N.

R FRENCH TENNIS STAR WINS TWO MATCHES By the Assoclated Pres NEW YORK, March 28.—A foreigh American tennis champlonship in the person of Jean Borotra, member of the 1924 French Davis cup team. Borotra 1is favored, togtther with Fred C. Anderson of New York, to reach the final round in the national men’s indoor championships being played here. Today the Frenchman waded through two American op- ponents in decisive fashion, losing only four games in two matches. Borotra disposed of his first-round opponent, J. A, McHolland of Leonia, N. J., in easy fashion, 6—1, 6—0, His second-round rival, F. J. Fitz- john of New York, playing his first indoor tournament tennis, made a de- termined stand, but Borotra won in straight sets, 6—1, 6—2. Fred C. Anderson won both of his matches, defeating A. B. Sheridan of New York in the first round, 6—3, 6—3, and then vanquishing William Einsman of New York is a second round match, 6—2, 6—3. One upset crept into today's play when Irving Weinstein, former Uni- versity of Southern California star, but now a resident of New York, lost his match with A, W. Asthalter of New York, 8—6, 6—1. Weinstein, one of the eight seeded players, was wild and efratic and brought "bout his own defeat largely through his errors. D. C.

Funk, back in the Economics line-up after a long lay-off, con- tributed the winning punchy Barber set a mark of consistency, counting 97 for each of the three games. Cooper was the outstanding star for the Public Roads combination, get- ting games of 113, 130 and 100, Property just missed taking Soils for all three games when the latter won the roll-off of a tie in the first. The Purchasing ,outfit had little trouble in taking the second and third contests, Larry Eidsness occu- pying the spotlight. Larry also put over the high game for the evening, 135. An astonishing form reversal was shown by the strong Accounts five, which took the first two games from the Solfcitors with counts of 539 and 554, and totaled but 468 for its third game, losing it by a 30-pin margin. Evans, Donaldson and Terwisse roll- ed well for Accounts, while Murphy was best man for the Lawyers. The widely discussed match be- tween Interbureaus and Plant Indus- try developed into a debacle for the Ints, Plant winning the first two games and ‘the set without difficulty. Ferrall, lead-off mam for Plant, started with spares in the first and sec- ond boxes; after that it was a walk- in. With Plant's second-string out- fit on the runways, the Interbureaus won the third game by a margin of two pins, Both teams had strength- ened for the match, Interbureaus showing Lindstrom of the Trenton Tigers and Roney from the Cumber- land five, while plant countered with “Jack” Ferrall, captain and star “pinch” shooter for the Messen- gers In the Independent League, and “Flash” Newton, the young cannon- ball roller of the same outfit. Fer- redl and Newton had a wide margin over their rivals. Capt. Holmes of the Interbureaus entered his team's line-up for the third game and help- ed a lot with some fine sharpshoot- ing. McCarthy kept up his good work for the Ints, totaling 317 for his set. 2 The Interbureaus still figure as the hard-luck outfit of the league, rank- ing fourth in total pin fall and oighth in team standing. They have lost more 500 counts than any other team in the circuit. Even at that it would not take much of a sport to land them fn the first division. ODD FELLOWS' LEAGUE: Staading of Teams. Wor.

(The prin- ciple here involved applies to ail the clubs.) This club was not swung back at all—t was lifted up. The idea in making a swing is not to 1ift the club up, but to swing it back. The pivoting of your body, the turn- ing of vour shouders and the reach- ing outward with the left arm com- bine to force thk club into correct top posifion.

From this point this player merely reaches outward with his left arm—not up. The outward reaching naturally makes his arm pull against his left shoulder. The natural movement then is for his shoulder to yield, so he rotates his shoulders, which is commonly called the pivot. As his shoulders turn and his left arm still reaches outward, the ciyb, when the limit of left arm reaching Is attained, naturally slides over the top, and there it is. The player thus, as seen in Fig. 3, is wound up, his welght back, ready to hit. Try.levering the club back this way.

Donaldson, anchor. man for Amity, totaled 357, but his team was able to take only one game from Golden Rule, this dual loss dropping the latter to third place. Cordell and Nichols rolled well for Golden Rule. Rolling a double-header, Fred D. Stuart copped four victories to Wash- ington's two. Cullen of the winners secured a 339 set in the first match. Past Grand Master, Lawson, presi- dent of the league, made his debut and rolled well for two games, but tired after the second game and was succeeded by Grand Master Chamber- lin, who finished the contest in good style. Eastern moved into second position by virtue of their winning the odd game from Salem. Brightwood dropped the odd game to Friendship, both teams being off their regular stride, Federal City and Columbia engaged in a battle. Columbia took the first game by 5 pins, including a handicap of 12 pins. The second game was a tie and went to Federal City in the roll-off. The latter came back strong and easily copped the third game. Santord, lead-off man for the winners, got a total of 337. The annual “blind pig and dot” tourney rolled Tuesday was a success, the scores resulting from individual efforts being unsually good. ‘“John- nie” Holbrook topped the Individuals by a large margin with his set of 355, his games of 104, 122 and 129, amassing & generous portion of the “dots” and helping his partner into second position in the “blind pig.” Bureau of Fisheries, regarding the cost. approval. Leach expects to have his model ready by tomorrow and says it will cost very little monmey and will answer all purposes. It will be con- structed to rise and fall with the tide. Leach is particularly anxions advantage of the Spring spawning season of the bass which will take place during the month of April If the Army engineers decide that this project will cost too much money, and Col. Sherrill says that the nece sary money is not available at this time, it might be raised by public subscription, or a small fee for the privilege of fishing in the Basin could be charged for the season, say 50 cents or $i. As a matter of fact, the opinlon of a great many is that a smajl fee should be charged for the privilege of fishing in the Basin. It is pointed out by some anglers that a fee is charged at the Municipal lihks for playing golf and that they ses mo reason y a fee should not be charged for fishing. With !hcnpllntln' of 500 adult fish in the Basiff this Spring, Leach says next Fall there will be at least 500,- 000 bass. In addition to the bass he proposes ‘to place 200 red-breasted bream, or sunfish, and about the same number of crappie, and the combined result of the spawning of these dif- Terent fish should place in the basin next Fall more than 1,000,000 fish, Reports have reached ‘this column that the anglers of Washington a most enthusiastic over the proj Since last Friday, when the project was announced, it has been the main toplo of conversation among fisher- men. ™ Nature always is writing her own history—in one way or another—arnd now it fs merely repeating what it often haa written in muddying the waters of the Potomac River, e river has been badly discelored ; the last week, but was n tohe s m‘t.fi to get things started at ofice, to take | clearer untfl tl_h.m of Baur proved second best with 326, followed by Dodd, 321, and Quinm Whitford and Isemann, each with 314, Dodd and Iseman whMth 631 double score, nosed obut J.

The run of March herring has commenced, but these fish usually stay in the deeper ‘water and can not be snaggled like their smaller brothers, who will make their appenrance during the first part of April. One fishing story- usually calls for another. When this column referred to the pound sunfiish that.are to.be placed In the Tidal Basin, a local angler told about a friend of his, W. A.

Both counted over 200 in each of their three games. Three pins sepa- rated the pair at the end of the string, Cohn having 638 and Levi 635 totals, while team singles varied little, the counts being 436, 426 and 414. There was another change among the 10 leaders when Frank Farnan of Fort Franclsco placed fourth with a total of 1,871 pins for nine games in all_events. Farnan had 623 for his end of the five-man last night. After a 584 set in the doubles today he toppled 664 in the singles to reach the 1,871 total. Farnan's 664 was second high count in the individual event, E. E. Ehle, another Fort Wayne bowler, carrying off the honors of the-day with a total of €69 pins, the result of 224, 235 and 210.

AUGUSTINE, Fla, March 28—Under the new arrangement of qualifying for the national open golf championship,-it is likely that the field competing at Worcester in June not only will be a reall representative group of the best players in the United States, but will include practically all of the stars. Until last year the qualifying rounds of the open had been ti bugaboo of the star players because of the tustom of holding the qualif ing rounds in connection with the course and during the same week. ever, and so great was the time consumed, that the i championship—that is, on the same The field became so unwieldy, how novation of sec tional qualifying rounds was introduced last year. KENNEL AND FIELD Camille val Jeanne, owned by W. Russell James, has just returned from the Giralda Farms; owned by Mrs. Grace Dodge, where she was bred to the famous shepherd international champlon, Giralda’s Schatz von Ho- hentann. James Is looking forward with much interest to the result of this mating and hopes it will be an- other step toward the betterment of ghepherds in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Tetreault, Lyon Park, Va., owners of the well known shepherd dog, Fritz von Holz Eck, are much pleased with a recent arrival of eight beautiful puppies out of Zeta von Thie rand sired by Fritz. Zeta {s a daughter of Fels von Oeringen, & full brother of the famous Strong- heart, end has a pleasing conforma- tion and an unusual head. Zeta was leased from G. B. Diers of this clty especially for this mating. In ac- cordance with standing recommenda~ tions of the Shepherd Dog Club of America, the litter was reduced to six immediately after birth, so the sur- vivors, considering the splendid blood lines behind them, should/ develop into typical specimens of the saga- cious breed. Mrs. B. B. Thompson believes she has acquired two beautiful show dogs. The dogs were brought to her home unexpectedly and were not for sale, but after a little persuasion and an offer in three figures the dogs were left with Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Thompson, who recently showed that she is a capable judge of the Peking- ese by passing her opinion upon this breed at the Baltimore show as judge. has possibly picked at least one sham- plon in the above-mentioned Pekes. She says she intends to give the Peke fanciers in Washington the privi- lege of breeding to these dogs. The black has shown some wonderful progeny, one of which will be shown in the show given by the Washington Kennel Club April 13 and 14. Mrs. 0. C. Pope and Mrs. B. B. Thompson have made entries for the show to be given by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, April 10 and 11. Mrs. R. H. Johnston will attend to watch the judging, but will not show her dogs until the following week, In Raleigh. . The Ruffcote Kenmmels reports the mating of Barbara of Ruffcots to Pottery Bash#m, son of the noted in- ternational champion, last of Game; ter. All the lovers of wire-haired ter- riers are looking forward with in- terest to the result of this splendid mating. HEdl o The members of the Washington Kennel Club have been busy assist- ing the management of the coming show, which is to be held in the Riding and Hunt Club, in taking in entries. Persons who have never entered their dogs in a large show may obtain the assistance of capable help at the temporary office of the club, 2130 P street. A number of small boys have entered their dogs and intend showing them in the ring. The Arlington Kenmnels, owned by Mrs. Marion Durphy, has sold all of its wonderful St. Bernard pupples but two, which Mrs. Durphy intends to keep. “Lovers of large dogs should make a visit to the Arlipgton Ken- nels if they want to see a beautiful picture of real live St. Bernard pups, with gorgeous red and white coats and splendid large heads, typical of their sire, the well known Duke of Arlington. These nine puppies which Mrs. Durphy raised on a bottle, pre- sent an {nteresting scene fol dog lovers. MEN’S SOUTH ATLANTICS AT C. U.

Nelther is it fair, it is argued, for the golfers on the Pacific coast to have to. make the trip to Chicago merely to qualify. The number of stars who have falled to make the grade when the qualifying rounds have been held in connection with the tournament is legion. As one noted professional re. marked two years ago on lookin over the list, a darn sig harder to qualify than it is to win the championship.” The United States Golf Assoclation executive committes has chosen wisely in selecting the San Francisco and the Lido courses. The writer {s intimately acquainted with conditfons on both layouts. No player who not hitting the ball will score well over either course. Either he will play real golf or he won't qualify— which fs as it should be. Pinehurst Event Now Looms. The last big competition in which most of the stars will appear prior to the qualifying rounds will take place next week when the annual North and South championship will be held at Pinehurst. Walter Hagen has had the edge on the field In late vears at this resort principally because, with his remarkable putting touch;, he has been betier able to negotiate the sand greens. However, Sir Walter {s not putting with his usual dexterity at present. At least he wasn't in the Fiorida tournaments, and unless he regains his touch he is not likely to figure among the leaders. I will be well to keep an eye on Leo Diegel, who has been playing the best golf of any of the professionals this Winter; Johnny Farrell, Freddie McLeod, Bobby Cruickshank, Jim Barnes or Jock Hutchison, all of whom are thor- oughly acquainted with conditions at Pinehurst and all of whom are fine putters.
