D. ' TOO MANY SPRING EVENTS HAMPER LOCAL LINKSMEN s Months—Suggestion 'fiight Major Competitions Scheduled for Next Two That More Fall Affairs Be Arranged Is Due Consideration. BY W. R. O McCALLUM. PENING of the golf tournament season about Washington this week with its assurance that the formal eveants Wwill push their way well into June, and that those who follow the tournament swing around Washington and Baltimore will be occupied with tournaments for practically two complete month suggestion made at the meeting s, brings again to the forefront the of the District Golf Association in March—that it might be well for some of the District clubs to push their tournaments back from Spring to Fall and provide a more evenly balanced tourney schedule. A recapitulation of the towrnament line-up around Washington and Baltimore shows there are to be 1 and one for the junior players, in women. The latter have no congestion prob- lem. Their tournaments are scat- tered pretty well through the vear, while the juniors have but one event ~the junior championship scheduled for September 8 at Columbia. Therefore it is with the man tourna- ment players—the regulars whose names are noted in every tournament —that the leaders of the game here are most concerned. Kight Big Spring Events. The full schedule shows there are elght big events to be held this 8pring, heginning with the Indian Spring tohrnament next Wednesday and continuing through the Middle Atlantic championship at Baltimore during the third week in June. The tournaments beginning this week continue right through to June 13, the closing day of the Columbia event, skip a week and then resume with the Middle Atlantic titular tilt. Now, with eight prominent events in the Spring, there are but three formal affairs scheduled for Fall, a time of year when the golf courses about Washington are in their prime and when' every condition should be and is fully as good for golf as in the Spring. So why is ‘it not possible for the District Golf Association to get its newly appointed tournament com- mittee in touch with the chairmen' of | golf committees at the several clubs| early next year and arrange a sched ule “which “will place half the big events over which it has control in the Spring and half in the Fall? Of course, the two tournaments to be held about Baltimore this Spring are outside the province of the Dis- trict Golf Assoeiation. But many | Washington men will play in them, particularly in the Spring event of the Baltimore Country Club. Fewer than a half dozen Washington men, | and these the golf leaders about the | city, have leen invited to compete in | the Gibson Island tournament to be | held the last week in May. Also the | District association has no jurisdiction | over the date for the plaving of the | Middle ~Atlantic champfonship, held | under the direction of the Middle At lantic Golf Assocfation, but there is every evidence that the officers of the 1 big events here for men this year addition to three tournaments for in any effort to balance the tourna- ment schedule. A _committee was appointed at the annual meeting of the District golf or- ganization in March. to confer with golf committee chairmen and help in drawing up a schedule. A proper bal- ancing of the tournament season be- tween Spring and Fall would appear to be one of the major reasons for the existence of this committee. Such a proposal should merit the serlous con- sideration of the schedule makers. The Tournament Scheduled. Here is the line-up for the tourna- ments about Washington and Balti- more this year: Spring—Indian Spring Golf Club, April 29 and 30 and May 1 and 2; Washington Golf and Country Club, May 6, 7, 8 and 9; Chevy Chase Club, May 12, 13, 14 and 15; Baltimore Country Club, May 21, and Town and Country Club, May 26, 27, 28 and 29; Gibson Island (postponed from May 1), May 29 and 30 and June 1; Columbia Country Club, June 10. 11, 12 and 13; Middle Atlantic championship, Maryland Country Club, June 18, 19 and 20. It should be noted that the national open championship.| will be held at Worcester on June 3 and 4. Fall—District junior championship, Columbia Country Club, September 3: Bannockburn Golf Club, September |9, 10, 11 and 12; Congressional Country |Club, on dates in September to be selected; District amateur champion ship, Washington Gelf and Country Club, ORtober 1 and 2. | “One of the arguments put up by those ugainst Fall dates is that the base ball world series is likely to be in Washington again. So it Is, and every golfer hopes it will be for a long time to comg. Yet it should be possible to avoid the dates of the playing of the world series without o | jumbling up the tournament schedule. As the golf schedule stands now, it is very top heavy in favor of Spring events, with few in the Fall. It is time a balance should be struck. Per- haps a way out of the dilemma might be found keeping the dates for tournaments at the older clubs—those that have always had a Spring date— latter association would be glad - to meet the District association half way as they gre, and placing the other events in the Fall. 3 STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE of the golfing world embraced by the clubs immediately surrounding Washington, R.

The Kiwanis Club team, captained by John 1. Power, ap- pears to be one of the strong contend- ers for the championship of the club league. The executive committee of Wash- Ington Newspaper Golf Club will get together within a few days to decide on a date for the annual Spring tour- nament, which will be held early in May at Town and Country Club for the McLean trophy. A report on the possibility of an inter-city match in which teams of newspaper golfers from New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore will be invited to Wash- ington, will be made by James 13. Pres- ton, secretary-treasurer of the club. An 18-hole handicap medal play teurnament is to be staged today by Manor Club, using the 9-hole course. The Princes Anne Country Club at Virginia Beach, Va., well known to Washingtonians and a club with many members from this city, will hold a tournament on May 16. Entries for the Spring tournament : of the Indian Spring Golf Club, which starts’ on Wednesday, close tonight with the golf committee. Entries may be sent direct to the club, or to Dr. J. R. De Farges, chairman, 1840 Bilt- more street. Two days will be given over to the qualifying round, beginning. Wednes- day, with match play rounds scheduled for Friday and Saturday, the finals to he played Saturday. Roland R. Mac- Kenzie won the Spring tournament last vear, overcoming C. J.

The Indian Spring course has come along admirably during the last three weeks after a period when it was Here's a chance for Roland 3 | engaged. teenth holes have been well drzined and even though three .temporary greens are in use, there probably will be but one permanent green—the venth—out of commission when the tournament opens. The sixth, seventh and eighth greens have been given a rest to permit the grass to grow. On the whole the course is in first- class shape, and the greens commit- tee is making heroic efforts to check up on the detalls of the layout in ad- vance of the tournament. The new clubhouse, a commodious and _well planned structure, is in use, with the old house given over to men’s locker AMATEUR GOLF TITLE FIELD LIMITED TO 16 NEW YORK, April 26.—The num- ber to qualify by medal play in the tournament for the natignal amateur golf championship is ‘cut n half under the new conditions of competition an- nounced today by the United States Golf Assoclation. ‘The tournament will begin August 31 at Oakmont Country Club, Oakmont, Pa. Steps also have been taken to re- duce the number of competitors, which in recent years has been unweildy. Players eligible to compete for the championship are limited to those with handicaps of three or less, but a handi- cap alone will not entitle a golfer to seek the tile. Each entrant must sub- mit before- August 1 a statement of his performances in competition dur- ing the last two years. Since the tournament began in 1894, the 32 lowest scores in medal play be- ginning the tournament have survived for match play. This year there will be only 16 qualifiers. x The change was necessitated by re- duction of the time of the tournament from seven days to six, a step decided upon last January in order not to keep star amateurs away from private duties more than a week. Time was when the whole tourna- ment lasted a week even with 32 qualifiers, but because of large fields in recent years it was' impossible for the whole field to play 36 holes in one day. Therefore, in recent years the field has played 18 holes on Saturday beginning the tournament and 18 more on_the next Monday. This year's qualifying round will continue at 36 holes, 18 being played Monday, August 31, and 18 on the next day. Match play at 36 holes will begin Wednesday with eight matches. The tournament will conclude with the final match on Saturday. The new plan for limitation of en- trants, abolishes an eligibility list which the United States Golf Associa- tion has had in recent years. This list contained many low handicap men and others regarded as able to play good golf. HORTON AND LIVESEY ANNEX TRAP EVENTS Capt. H. M. Horton and R. P. Live- sey led the Washington Gun Club marksmen ~ yesterday afternoon at Bennings range in an added target handicap race. Horton, high man, led his nearest rival, Blundon, by one bird, and smashed 48 clays in 50. Livesey copped the handicap spoon with a 46, nosing out Hunter, Bur- rows and Wynkoop. Williams led in the doubles with a 20 and a 19. Monroe, his second, scored 19 and 17.

BOW TO GILMAN SQUAD St. Alban's netmen were outclassed yesterday by the tennis squad of Gil- man Country School of Baitimore, the visitors taking all but 6ne of the sin- gles matches and wining in the one doubles that was played. Schofield scored the only victory for the locals when he defeated Swan, 6—1, 6—2. Summaries: ngles—Stinson - (G.) defeated Chatfield, 6—0, 6—3; Swohn _(G.) defeated Prain. rooms. Roland R. MacKenzie and Fred | McLeod, the latter the Columbia pro, will oppose Leo Diegel, professional at Glen Oaks, Iong Island, and Peter Jacksen, the Indian Spring pro, in an xhibition match at Indian Spring to- day. The morning round will start at 10.30 o'clock, while the afternoon tilt will-get under way at 2 o'clock. Par for the course—7l1-—has never been equalled, and the club has put up a purse to the player who equals t, while a special purse has also been ung up for the player who turns in the lowest 36-hole score. The match should be immensely in- teresting to local golfers because of the well known skill of the four men Diegel, although located this ‘year on Long Island, has made his home in the Capital for four vears. - . The amateur record for Indian Spring is 75, and this is also the low- est official score made by any player over the course. From the back tees Indian Spring is one of the hardest tests of the game anywhere around Washington, “demanding length and accuracy to the ultimate degree. Diegel's phenomenal length should enable him to score well. “Baseball” King, Columbia’s well known caddie and a golfer, has ac- cepted a challenge by Herbert T. Shannon, a member of the club, and will pair with one of Fred McLeod's assistants in a match next Tuesday against Shannon and D’'Arcy Ban- nagan, assistant pro at Columbia.

The action of ‘the clubhead at the ball might be compared with the act of sticking your finger through a over a hoop. You could project your finger to a point close to the stretched paper, then jab it into the paper, which would be one way. Or you_could start your finger toward the paper, knowing what you intended to do, then gradually in- crease the speed of its motion and let your finger continue right through the paper in a smooth, continuous action. The latter is the true comparison with the clubhead’s action. . In Figure 1 you sec a golfer in the address position with this exception: The ball has been moved forward in the direction line until instead of being at a point off the plaver's left instep it is 18 inches ahead of that point. What difference dosyou think this will make with a correctly made swing? The answer is: Absolutely none. You can aim yotr clubhead to take the ball, in this test, at its accustomed place and, perhaps 1o your surprise it will_hit the ball squarely and very hard, even though the ball is 18 inches ahead of its usual resting spot. This demonstration, which ou can very qasily make-for yourself, is a surpris- ing thing about the real action of the clubhead. It is highly desirable for GOSSIP ABOUT BOWLERS HE Washington Ladies’ Duckpin Association will hold its annual championship tournament on the Coliseum drives, beginning Mon- T little c day; May 18. Arrangements for the big event have been completed, and with a o-operation on the part of the bowlers there is no doubt that it will be the most successful affair. of its kind ever staged by the fair duck- pinners here. Officers. were elected as follows: President, Bronson Quaites; vice presi. dent, May O'Brien; secretary. Gladys Lowd; treasurer, Jennie Maicolm. Entries will be divided into two classes—A, being all with an average of 88 and over, and B, all under 83— the same classification applying to teams and doubles. 440 and over for ‘A quints and 176 and over for A pairs. Entries will close Thursday, May 15, and the bowlers are urged to send in their entry as soon as possible. The prizes are expected to be more attractive than ever, and in addition to cash there will be handsome cups and pins which bowlers in both classes will have plenty of opportunity to win. Each class will have its own prizes. It should be understood by the woman bowlers in the city that this Is an open tournament, and the large number who are not affiliated with any team or league can take advan- tage of the opportunity afforded for competition. The Agriculture Interbureau League has closed one of its most successful seasons with the Bureau of Soils out- fit, winning by the comfértable mar- gth of six games. Economics finished second and Accounts and Plant Bu- reau deadlocked for third place.

There are | also teams representing 30 olheri leagues. | The Agricultural League has been One of the most pleasing things from the bowlers' standpoint will be the prize lists of all three classes. There is an established rule in the assoclation that every dollar paid in for entries is returned to the bowlers in the particular event in the class for which it is paid. The class A teams last year shot at a first prize of $50; this year the first prize is $75 and the second is $60. The class B teams also shot at a first prize of $50, but this year on account of the large entry in_this class the association has seen fit to make the first prize an even $100, with & second of $75, a third of $60 and a fourth prize of $50. The teams in class C have been given a fair share of this surplus'and a first prize has been allotted to them of $75, with a second prize of $50. There are additional prizes ,below these amounts given to the teams in all three classes. The entry list in class B has been 80 large that the association has seen fit to add -sufficlent money in - this class to make the total amount of prizes $503 for it alone.

APRIL 26, 1925— SPORTS SECTION. & ANNIEN R sheet of paper stretched, let us say, the average player to practice hitting balls this way, too, because it gets him into the habit of throwing the-club- head through. In Figure 2 you see in the tracing the segment of the forward swing where the clubhead follows practical- Iy a straight line. Notice what a very considerable portion of the down swing this is. It extends from some 15 to 18 inches back of the ball to a point some 20 inches in front of it. In_this part of the swing, too, the clubhead attains its greatest velocity. Now refer to Figure 3. Here we’see a golfer “throwing his hips into it.” At the moment of impact the player should so time his hips that they will be literally chopped into the swing. This throws against the ball not only the speeding clubhead, but, added to it, the weight of the middle part of the body. This is how the punch is put in, and it is this addition—this hip punch—that stings the ball. Ob-| verve- that the hips shoot forward straight into the direction line—while the clubhead also is shooting for- ward straight into the direction line. This is the correct parallel action— hips, clubhead and ball. ning on practically even footing. The final standings were: Murphy licitors); 104,35; Seaton (Solicitors), 104.20; Stork (Accounts), 104.6; Evans (Accounts), 103.68, and De Glantz (Property), 10' Seaton, with a final set of 336, climbed from fourth to sec- ond place and gave his teammate Murpby quite a scare before the eve- ning ended. The annual league tournament will be held on the third floor of the Rec-! reation alleys Thursday, April 30, from 7 to 11 p.m. Prize money for the Interbureau will be distributed then. All bowlers affiliated with Agriculture Department leagues are invited to enter this tournament, and tentative plans are being considered to have the winners of the Interbureau, Fco nomics and Independent League ban- ners roll a five-game series at § p.m., to determine the Agricluture Depanrt- ment championship. The year has been conspicuous for the number of young bowlers devel- oped. McCarthy of the Interbureaus appears to be ‘the best of the new- comers, compiling an average of 102 for his first season in competition and winning high individual set honors with 387. He also has a 147 game to his credit. Ready, Holmes and Roney of the same team have come fast, too, and promise to be over the 100 mark next season. AGRICULTURE INTERBUREAU LEAGUE.

Patterson Errati | The Australian critic deplores the erratic tendency of Patterson, declar- | ing that he would be one of the great plavers in the world if only he were more accurate. At times in the match with Anderson, Patterson would make | brilliant service aces, and then would spoil his good work by a series of dou- ble faults. Several times he served two or three double faults in succes- sion, a failing with which American { tennis followers who have seen Pat- terson fh action are familiar Patterson also developed great weak ness in making his volley shots. When he is going right, the Victorian com- pares with Johnston and Richards as a net player, angling the ball sharply across court with the smoothest strokes. . But he was not going right against Anderson, and the ball found the net dozens of times, costing him points when he had his opponent out of position and the way paved for a winning . shot. _Overhead, however, Patterson was effective in the extreme. Again and again he took the ball out | of the air, from all depths, and brought it down with a slégehammer blow for | the point. Many of these overhead shots were kills of lobs that Anderson failed to get sufficient depth on. The Australian critic takes Patter- son to task for his ition at the service line to receive sérvice, taking the ball on a half volley. He met with no success against Anderson, but ten- nis fans in this country took this posi- tion. on a number of occasions in | matches and brought off several win- ning shots on half volleys of service.
