LTHOUGH little publicity has been given to it. Washington is to have one of the biggest ama- teur golf tournaments of the year next month, when the leading players of the Army gather at the Chevy Chase Club to compete for the Army champlonship, now held by Capt. Robert C. Scott of Colorado, Tex. The tourney will be held September 17-21, inclusive, and will draw from all sections of the country the leading golf- ers of the military service. The Army championship is by no means & smail tournament, nor is the class of golf dis- played in the event below that of other big affairs, Two years ago Maj. Earl Naiden, formerly a member of Colum- bla, won the tournament, while three years back Capt. Fraser Hale, then avia- tion aide to the President, annexed the event ‘Both were golfers of note long before they won the tourney. Hale, who was one of the top-nof s around Chicago for many years, was killed in an air- plane accident at White Sulphur Springs, W.

Mrs Smith has a card of 35—39—74. Mrs. Frank R. Keefer needs 4s on the six teenth and seventeenth holes for a score of 71. The other day a member of Chevy Chase came into the caddie Rouse and asked for a “left-handed tee.” Gene Larkin, assistant to Bob Barnett, sold him one of those reversible rubber tees which have a sliding weight in the middle so the ball may be teed on either end. But it didn't go, for the member brought the tee back with the story that it was not. strictly a left- handed tee and would not do for a portsider. So he had to be furnished with another tee to meet specifications, which Barnett, always on the job, filled. Elaborate invitations have been issued b} the first annual left-handed golfer tournament to be played over the Four Corners course September 13. ‘The tourn is to be called the “Namandji Nindj” event, the Indian name for left- handed, and is to be an annual affair for a cup presented by Dr. L.

If brown paich stays away for another two weeks, the greens about Washington will be back in first-class shape by September 15. One of the remarkable things about the brown patch is the way the six- teenth green at the Washington Club has withstood the ravages of the fungus Many of the other greens were at- tacked and in some < virtually de- stroyed, but the sixtcenth, which was one of the poorest of the greens in the Spring, today is the best on the course So bad has been the brown patch this year that the only cure for several of some of the clubs is held to be ploughing and resodding—in fact, a complete new green. Tommy Armour is 1 of 16 well known professional golfers who have been invited to compete in a 72-hole event at the National Golf Links, South- ampton, L. I, September 22 and 23.
