- COURSE WILL START SOON Will Be Built Just Across Road Bordering Present Grounds of Club—Richard Watson Retained as Greenkeeper—Will Rush Construction. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ORESEEING the possibility of congestion on its present golf fa- F cilities, Indian Spring Club has decided to begin construction of another 18-hole course within a stone’s throw of its present course near Four Corners, Md., and on the land just across the new Bladens- the club.

The new course will be rushed to completion, and it is hoped to ‘have nine holes completed and ready for play by late Spring of 1926. The remaining nine holes will be built when additions to the membership warrant the additional construction work.

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE by the Chevy Chase Club last Tuesday, published sively in Fhe Star of that day, of the club’s decision to limit entries for its Spring tournament to golfers having a handicap of 14 or less has created great interest in local golf circles and has natu- caused the question to be asked: “What are the other local clubs g to do about the situation? Conironted with an overcrowded goli course and a rush to get the »ig field through in ample time to permit a possible play-off for last places in the hrst flight, Chevy Chase took the bull by the horns and Jed the way for the other District clubs by setting an arbitrary limit of handicap allowance for men to compete in its tournament. That the move is a good one cannot be doubted and that it will have a salutary effect on the tournaments hereabouts also is a fact. 9 of No. 1 course other words, the first to = th Vary ¢ »nal the golfer tee, playing ugh to the s the road 18 complete u recross the venteenth and No. 1 course, A club) its er s tenth tec sixteenth | or by <o Of course, it will work its hard- Doubtless some players, who much desire to compéte in the y Chase event, will be left out the fixing of the handicap limit 14. Chevy Chase itsel? would like to have these men compete, but. n the interest of a better tourna- ment and a more enjovable tourna- memt, a step has been taken which will work ont to the best interests of the game hereabouts. Chairman Thompson ommittec and mémbers of his com- mittee considered the situation at great length before making a de ciston, There was some talk o setting the limit ak low as 12, whil other proposals would set the limit it 16 or 18. The 12-limit was thought too low, while the higher limits would let in many men who yrdinarily would not have a chance to qualify in the four flights listed for the tournament Many men who would not break 100 under the rigorous conditions of uedal play from the back tees would yme in under the higher limits, and . it has always been the fact that the highest score to gualify in a Chevy Chase event. has heen in thie neigh- *borhood of 04 Meny things making the de point of possible making the tournament matter. That could be dismissed without thought, for Chevy Chase has never intended its tournament to e one of that nature. The club has welcomed its guests and wanted them to enjoy themselves. Any talk of exclusiveness is far off the point But the limit of 14 does not apply , members of the club and here 2in might arise the point that Chevy Chase will furnish the bulk of the qualifiers and many of the prize winners. Chairman Thompson comes back with the statement, “Highteen Chevy Chase players qual- ifled last year in a field of 250 and out of 64 to qualify.” So that claim can be discounted. And Chevy Chase atisfied it has done the right thing That it has taken a long step for- ward is the view of many of the lead- s in golf circles in Washington—a step that has ample precedent, for jeading clubs in other cities have found it impossible to hold open golf tournaments without limiting the en- try lists in some way Washington, which an entry list of someth 200, against the list of arly to Chevy Chase ing at present to limit the entry list the tournament to be held May i, 7. 8 and 9, according to Chalrman Paxton of the golf committee.

Kirkside Golf Club, ‘which occupies the old layout of Ban- m kburn, over which may a cham- yionship was held before Bannock- yurn gave up the property in 1913, has been served with legal notice that Sthe property may be t n over at iy time by the real estate company owning it.

Washington Golf and Country Ciub's announced intention to procure.two of the leading woman golfers of the country the persons of Misses Edith Cummings and Glenna Collett to appear in an exhibition match dur- ing the Summer ures one most interesting exhibition matches ever held near this city and one which is quite unusual. Neither of the wom- n stars has ever appeared about Washington. Their best ball prob- ably will be conceded a .half stroke hole against the best ball' of Tom Armour and Walter Hagen, profes- sional golfers, who will oppose them. The old dixcussion as to which is the proper way for a long driver to play the seventeenth hole at Washing- ton Golf and Country, Club is on again in full blast. Last Sunday afternoon . when the exhibition match at the ctub was drawing to a close three of the players, Tom Armour, John Farrell and Roland R. MacKenzie, elected to take the long way over, the trees, while Dave Thomson satisfied himself with the short way, playing a niblick shot across the ditch Only one of the three driyers, all of which carried $he ditch, sta¥ed out off of the | | trouble, that of Roland MacKenzie, although Armour’s ball found a fairly good lie in the ditch. The contention of most of the members is that even if a well hit ball does carry the trees it still will not give the player any | better shot at the hole than if he | | played his second from back of the diteh. A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the District Golf Association is to be held soon to thresh out the question of limiting the entry list for the various club events. The District organization has no actual jurisdic- ion over any regulations the club may lay down, but discussion may result in clarifying the situation. A step entirely mew to golf clubs here, but one which is expected to facilitate play a great deal on crowd- ed days, has been taken by the board of governors of the Washington Golf and Country Club. It passed a rule that on Saturdays and Sundays mem- bers must play in foursomes. Washington is considering instal- ling a system of selected startmg times on Saturdays and Sundays, s ilar to that in use at Columbia. By this method, members may malke time reservations to play at a certain hour on Saturdays and Sundays. The Washington Golf and Country /Club is one where most of the members are golfers, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings there has been great con- gestion at the first tee. A selected field of amateur golfers, among them many of the best in the country, will start in the Spring. tournament of the Gibson Island Country Club at the end of April Entrants expected include Robert T. Jones, the amateur champion, and Jess Sweetser, title holder in 19 Roland R. MacKenzie of Columbia ha been invited. Washington's woman golfers will play in their first tournament of the year tomorrow at the Indian Spring. | The affair is the first of a series of monthly events to be held at the vari- ous clubs, under the auspices of the Women's District Golf Association. An entrance fee of $1 will be charged. THE SUNDAY MISS COLLETT SAILS TO SEEK GOLF TITLE NEW YORK, April 11.—Miss Glenna Collett of Providence, R. I, sailed for England today to take a shot at the British women’'s golf title, now held by Miss Joyce Wethered, and never won by an American. Miss Collett, former national wom- en’s ghampion in this country, will compete during the Summer in sev- eral invitation tournaments, ing the title play at Troon, Scotland. She said she might also take part in the ‘French ladies' championships, With the British tournament in view, Miss Collett spent much of last Winter playing golf in the South, where she received a few hints from Walter HHagen, who is familiar with conditions on English courses. She won the Florida women's champlon- ship at Palm Beach in February, and in March took the Flogida Fast Coast championship. U. S. G. A. WILL RUN OPEN TOURNAMENT NEW YORK, April 1T.—More com- plete supervision of the national open tournament will ‘be assumed here- after, it was made known today through a letter by William -C. Fownes, jr., chairman of the United States Gold Association championship committee, to the Professional Golters' Association. Full control of the preliminary rounds as well as the championship proper will be taken by the United States assoelation, which set forth the opinion that this method was “much preferable to a division of the responsibility,” in effect hereto- fore as a result of the professionals’ association handling the early play. The suggestion of the instructors that play be in threesomes instead of twosomes in the quallfying rounds does not meet with the approval of the championship committee, Fownes said. The United States Golf Association plans for the tournament, as an- nounced by the championship com- mittee, call for qualifying rounds at New York, Chicago and San Fran- cisco, with the championship proper at the Worcester Country Club, Wor- cester, Mass., on June 3 and 4. The preliminary rounds at New York and Chicago are scheduled for May 27 and 28, and in Sah Francisco on May 20 and 21. The clubs for the qualify- ing rounds will be selected later by ent body, Fo announced STAR, WASHINGTO D.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER & HOUGHTS of all anglers of Washington should be turned to the Tidal Basin fund at this time. to act, because the fund needs the money with which to start Perhaps they are, but it is better the work of making the Basin the best fishing body of water of its type in the United States. The project is unique. a public fishing pond containing thousands of big-mouth bass, crapple ar sunfish, & body of water ideally located and surrounded with shade trees and benches, where fishing de luxe may be enjoved. The fund is growing, -but there are thousands of ermen in this city who surely must have read about the undertaking, and of that numbor only a smail percentage have so far sent in their donations. Secretary Hoover strongly urges that the project be made for, the younger generation of Washington, & place for the boys and girls to go to learn the angler's art. & In a letter to Will H Dilg, presi- dent and founder of the Izaak Wal- ton League of America, last Decem- ber, Hoover said: “As you know, my boyhood days were spent in Towa. My most vivid and joyous recollee- tions of that period are of patient angling in Towa streams for the very occasional fish with a willow pole and a properly spat-upon worm., It was a long time between bites. Now, during my adult life I have been possessed with the notion that the joys of boyhood, the strengthen- ing of vision, curiosity and patience in his mind, can have né greater contribution than just free and suc- cessful fishing. These armies of boys march into national life year by vear, and these qualities are badly needed.” Secretary Hoover sees in this proj- ect just the thing that the youth of Washington should have, and the dif- ference between the streams that he used to fish in in his boyhood days in Jowa and the Tidal Basin is that there will be no long time between bites.

Manor eventually will have holes, but work on the third nine is at a standstill now while ucker is busily engaged in getting in needed licks on the others. Tucker is one of the most ex- perienced professienals in the coun- try, having been connected with the I game all his life. In fact, he might be said to have been born with a set of golf clubs in his hand. He first saw the light of day in Musselbargh, Scotland, and lost little time after he grew up in comiing to the United S%te!, landing on Ameri- can soil in 1 Tucker hos three brothers who are pros and nearly all his relatives are affiliated with the ilinks game.

He was assistant pro at Chevy Chase about 20 vedrs ago, dur- ing which time he met Miss Katherine Cropley of this city, who has been Mrs. Tucker for about 19 years. | Tucker has had some unusual hap- {penings connetced with his career as a professional. He established the | first indoor golf school in this coun- try in 1900 at Madison Square Garden in New York; had the distinction of giving John D.

Earle for the apprehension of viola- tors of fish laws in Maryland waters. Laws prohibiting taking of fish weighing in excess of 20 pounds dur- ing the months of April, May and June are being ignored, it was said. Reports received by Barle stated that 1,700 pounds of rockfish were taken in one haul in Chester River recently. One of the fish weighed 80 pounds, it was stated. Pish over the legalized weight have been confiscated recently at Balti- more fish markets by conservation officials. Two fish weighing 24 pounds each were confiscated in those mar- kets last week. A trip through wome of our own markets will reveal the fact that a great many fish, under size, not over size, are being offered the publia Re- ports have reached this column of hundreds of undersized basy being offered for sale. If this is so, there is a law to prohibif it, and it might be well for the District officials to look into the matter. Will Reynolds, well known to all local anglers, says the first run of perch have made their appearance and that some nice ones are being caught off the point of the island op- posite Thirty-second street. For these deep bloodworms may safely be term- ed the reliable bait, but the largest of the perch are caught with min- nows. This week will be one of great interest to anglers, because with light tackle these gamey little fish afford great sport. The condition of the water could not be better for the fishermen; there are plenty of bloodworms for sale at the local sporting goods stores, and minnows and boats are available at all the river-front places. The best places to angle for these fish perhaps {s from the island to Chain, Bridge, The perch, like all fish at this time of the year, make their way to the fast-running waters.

This is one of the most important segments of the entire golf swing, but many players never understand it because they have the impression that the action of the clubhead through the ball is combined with a turning of the body to the'left. touched by fhe swinging club, as I very well know, because this sketch was made from a photograph of my first assistant so standing while 1 swung my driver. This is because the clubhead, go- ing through the ball, sweeps low to the ground and goes straight out into the direction line. It then swings di- rectly upward with the arms. After it is about as high as the player's head, the shoulders turn so thdt, at the finish, we find the club in back of the shoulders and turned across them The stroke could very well be fin- ished without this final shoulder turning, and often is, with the irons. Get firmly fixed in your mind that the clubhead goes straight through as shown in figure 3. Reach out after it through the segment as far as you can, keeping the club as low to the ground as possible. “This understand- ing of the action may improve your shots cousiderably NEWS AND 'WASHINGTON LADIES' LEAGUE.

With their two leading bowlers, Gladys Lowd and Marie Frere, de- cidedly off their game, the Mount Pleasants dropped two to the Capitol Hillers Thursday night. Ann Whale with a count of 115, won the secon game. She also was in evidence in the third game, with a count of 106, finishing with a set of 294. One of the best single-game per- formances of the season was that of Elizabeth Ackman in her first effort when she spilled the maples for a count of 135. She missed a chance for a high set when she fell below the century mark in the next two games, getting 315. The good work of Billie Niner and Lorraine Gulli enabled the Commer- cials to cop two out of three from Billie's team. The former had high game and set, with 114 and 313, while ber teammate shot a 308 set. Pauline Thomas was high scorer for the | 1osers, having a game of 106 and set of 297.
