ANNOCKBURN GOLF CLUB, one of the first organizations in or B near Washington devoted to golf, has embarked upon an ambi- tious program of course and clubhouse construction which, accord- ing to members, will result, within a few 'months, in the transformation of its present rather short course into a splendid course of standard length | and will involve coustruction of a clubhouse to cost, at a conservative estimate, upward of $35,000. There also will be spent on the golf course $7,000, the work to include reconstruction of several new greens, reseeding and resodding and a gen- eral furnishing of the course to result in a layout approximating more than 6,000 yards in length, with a par of 69. | The initial step toward completion spacious club room for the memibers. | of this ambitious program, one on| Money raised for the course con of Oakmont s, | He played in real Babe style, hitting th which leaders in the club have had struction work will be devoted large- o place her at a disadvantage with he English star. ter of fact, Glenna Collett's due more to striking s than to her success in tou She won the ional title in but the following vear Mrs. C Vanderbeck eliminated her at West hester-Biltmore, while last vear Miss K.

C., April 156.—Two upsets, one of the man's singles and the other in the woman's singles, marked the second day’s play in the seventh annual North and South tennis champlonship here. Miss Molly Thayer of Philadeiphia, one of the first 10 ranking players, was eliminated in the singles by Miss Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Va. The other upset was the defeat, by 97, 6—4, of Fred Baggs of New York at the hands of Thomas J. Man- gan of Washington. The latter proved to be exception- ally strong in the pinches and came from behind to win both sets. All the favorites came through in the other singles matches. S. How- ard Voshell, the playing-through champion, ran off with Armand L. Bruneau of New York, 6—1, 6—4, and Takelchi Harada, the Japanese Davis cup star, sped through his match with Arthur Solomon, 6—0, §—2 Miss Martha Bayard, the defending champion, had a serious struggle on her hands before she was returned the victor over Mrs. J. Saunders Tay- lor of Wilmington, Del., by 6—3, 3—8, in a match which was fought out in the deep court.

As the right hand is brought in te the shaft let the right shoulder drop slightly, and the right knee bend inward with the shoulder.

HE ecighteenth green at St. Andrews was the scene in 1923 of one of the funniest golf incidents on record—its value gaining from the fact that, unlike many others of the kind, it actually took place. The green will be recalled to golf enthusiasts as the one on which Francis Ouimet sank his famous curving putt around a stymie laid by Roger Wethered to gain a birdie 3 and halve his match with the British amateur champion in the Walker cup battle that same year.

Gardner of the Hinsdale Country Club, Chicago, American amateur champion in 1905 and 1915 and runner-up in 1916 and 1921, who filled the role of captain of the United States Walker cup team, was the chief figure. Gardner was playing around in prac- tice with some Scotchmen. In due course they came to the eighteenth hole. The eighteenth at St. Andrew’s calls for a drive and a pitch. The English and Scottish golfers invariably use a run-up shot on their second, however, and they do not understand the tend ency of the Americans to pitch a ball in good position on the green. Gardner, of course, followed the American custom. The result was one of those beautiful shots which are the thrill of golf. His ball followed a direct line toward the pin, came down on the green near the cup and rolled in_for an eagle two. The Scotchmen were complimentary to the American captain, but not too much so. “'Tis a very fine shot,” they d, shaking their heads, “but it Isn't orthodox Other Sports Page 29. ‘The 'Inquiring Reporter Everywhere. .. from the Lips of the Wise, he learns the ~ZWHYS” of Murads Leadership The Loehl trophy, offered by Adolph | A ures for the open- Attaniance (Eures ey | Loehl, was won for the second time | ing zames in the two major leagues vou have, because that's simply a green-winged teal, which picks |rather on the side of the shaft, not on by Mrs. P. dale bitch Nance O'Nea best local dog or bitch by 12 1923 show.

But I think I get my greatest thrill out of a Murad at the theater between the acts of an exciting play. If the play is good, Murad makes it better and completes a perfect evening.” Leon S. Oppenheimer, Proprietor Sport Mart. Just before the deciding hole “When the game is tied on the seventeenth green and the next hole decides who's down, I light a steadying Murad. I have smoked all lead- ing brands of cigarettes, domestic and Turkish, but none other equals Murad for smoothness, fragrance and aroma. It's top-hole!” Norman C. Kal, Treas. Kal-Williams, 1311 G Street N.W. His pet Murad is the luncheon Murad LR s “The best Murad of the day to me is the Murad I smoke right after lunch. I seldom smoke in the morning so I am ‘smoke hungry’ when lunch time comes. Then Murad certainly - hits the spot. If there is a better cigarette than a Murad, it has never reached my lips.” Irving D. Sheldon, 919 F Street N.W. Sooner or later, after you have tried them all, you will settle down to MURADS .. . Careful com- parison always ends in preference for Turkish.
