And at the same time im- provements are in_ progress at Ban- nockburn, ‘Manor. Town and Country, Argyle and Beaver Dam which will| bring them near the standard re quired of the rather indefinite “‘cham- plonship course.” Columbia’s so-called “long course” which means with the tee plates well back on the long tees, stretches out| to a distance of 6380 vards. The short course, with the plates well for- ward, measures 6,111 yards. Chevy Chase runs out to & distance of 6,356 yard, but can be made longer by a change in the tee plates. In the face of a westerly wind, the prevail ing wind around Washington, Chevy Chase will play around 6,600 vards in length, for many of the holes run east and west. Burning Tree is the only course which, according to its score card, does not measure up for length with the others. It rates under 6,000 vards, the exact figures running even | short of 5,900. Yet Burning Tree is| just as hard to score on as any of the others, besause the holes are all laid | out to demand the utmost from the | club called for, even though the actual range of distance not be much judged soleiy by the card Leo ” Diegel called it the finest course in America” during the play ing of the recent Middle Atlantic pro- | fessional championship, and all the | other professionals testified it was| plenty long enough | Congressional, with varders, stretches o and facing a wes! much longer, for he: are generally ce the four its two 600. t to 6.400 vards, rly wind, plays gain the holes laid out east and west Chances in the first hole to bring 1 down to less than 500 ds length are contemplated at sional.

Yet Washington from the long tees is one of the hardest courses in this section to score on The long tees have never been used in competition under normal condi- tlons.

Although Columbia and Burning Tree are pop ularly regarded as the “‘show courses of the city, the others will not take a back seat to them in dificulty or in vardage. Congressional especially has recently undergone, and still is in process of undergoing, an extensive bunkering program that will rate it even harder than the slugging course of other days. . Working on All Courses. Columbia is still being improved by reconstruction of its fourteenth and eighteenth greens; Washington has other construction projects under way o stiffen the course for the Middle Atlantic amateur championship next Spring, and Indian Spring has only re- cently been renovating its putting greens. Burning Tree is constantly exper menting in one form or another, while Chevy Chase has only recently settled down after an extensive bunkering program, which made it two or more shots harder than the course of three years ago. Bannockburn Is nearly ready to open §ts new standard length course; Town and Country Club looks forward to the day when it can begin construction of n second nine-hole layout: Argvle is undergoing a considerable construc. tion program, Involving building of many traps, and Manor is hard at work on improvement of its new nine holes.

The facts are these, and do not seem to warrant such criticism. Grange had acquired in university a foot ball education that was worth to | him more than $100,000 in the short | space of a month or two., There actu- ally 18 no more reason why Grange should not have set out to earn tha money than there is why any gradu- ate in 2° business administration cur- ricuium should not have talents to eirn a like amount could have done so. The only difference is that the ave. rage college graduate usually leaves it he his university to work for two or| three years for just about one fiftieth of what Grange will make in a month. Probably no college men, probably no other man, college or otherwise, would have turned down'an oppor- tunity to acquire such earnings in such a short time. Has Dificult Task. Another thing, all the talk about Grange being througfi and terribl overrated just shows a plain lack o knowledge of what the person is talk ing about. Grange was a great foot ball player while in college and still is & great player. Of him one college coach told the writer after the game with Pennsylvania: “‘He is the great- est runner in a broken fleld I have ever seen.” In college Grange was pointed to do his best at stated intervals. Natur- ally he would do better on such oc- casions than if he were in the game every other day or so. Walter John- son pitched two wonderful games in the last world series because he had been_ rested and pointed for three weeks to put forth his supreme ef- fort in those contests, but when after that he went in for a third game his efforts were anyhing but what they had been. Somehing else, in these professional games about all opposing teams are trying to do is stop Grange, and in any foot ball game {n which one team sets out to do nothing but stop one man, that one man is pretty likely to be stopped. Before the recent con- test in which Grange appeared here the best player on the local all-star eieven said to the writer: “All we want to do is stop Grange, and we're going to come close to doing just that.” Grange is o much advertised that about all opposing teams have as their supreme aim to prevent him gaining ground. Conditions Are Different. Considerable comment has been heard that Grange does not do tuuc on offense when he does not carr the ball and does not hurt himself any on defense. As a matter of fact, nine chances out of ten, Grange, who is the real drawing power of the pro- fessional eleven of which he is a mem- ber, has been warned not to take any chances of getting hurt, and probably Goals from floor—Frisby (3).

The people run- ning the eleven of which he is a mem- ber probably know full well that their team would not draw a corporal’s guard were Grange not In the line-up. Something else, Grange is mighty valuable to his team, even if he is not gaining ground. When an opposing eleven concentrates on stopping one man, usually it fails to stop other backs. In the recent professfonal game here it seemed very much as if the Bears could have beaten the local organization much worse if they really had tried. The Chicago eleven fiddled along during the first half, but when it really started out to gain ground and score in the second half there was ‘“nothing to it.” From a local BATTERIES - “Pay As You Ride” PROBEY TIRE STORES 2104 Pa.
