LIKELY TO BECOME POPULAR VARIETY | i ; { Scientists Enthused Over It. Will Be Displayed When Greenkeepers Meet. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HEN the greenkeepers from | the Eastern section of the country come to Washington on August 19 to attend a two-day meeting of the United States Golf Association at the Arlington turf farm, near the east gate of Arling- | ton National Cemetery, they will be shown something new in the way of putting green grass, and a grass which many of them probably would not have believed possible a year or so ago. As yet this new grass—which is one of the creeping bent grasses in popular use on putting greens all over the thing more than a letter, 1t has not yet been given |- a name, but judging by the enthusiasm with which Dr. John Monteith and his sclentific associates speak of it, and its resistance to brown patch, it will ul- | timately become one of the most popular putting green grasses ever discovered. About seven years ago the golf world was elated when .the late Dr. C. V. Piper discovered on the old fourth green | of the Washington Golf and Country Club a new grass which appeared to be particularly resistant to brown patch, and when planted in stolons, formed a thick_mat. over a patting green. The true Washington strain has become di- Juted In- the intervening years, and is not today truly resistant to brown patch. Ite strain has been intermingled with Virginia bent and other creeping grasses until it is difficult today to obtain the pure strain of Washington bent. Resistant to Brown Patch. ‘With the purpose of securing a strain of that most esteemed of putting green grasses—the velvet bents—which would be highly resistant to brown patch and the other grass destroying fungus | (Pythian), Dr. Monteith set to work | several months ago to develop the High- | land bent to a finer and stronger strain. | He has been successful, and today there | is on the variegated turf of the Arling- | ton turf garden a patch of the new un- named velvet bent which shows not the slightest trace of brown patch, and which makes the finest putting surface we ever have seen. Around this patch of bright green grass, which stands out in its purity by contrast with the browned grasses be- side it, grow Washington, Columbia and Virginia bents, all more or less eaten away by the fungus growths which are the bane of greenkeepers. The new bent remains green and pure today, even though the treatments it has re- ceived have been identically the same as those for the other grasses. The Columbia bent has held up well. So has some areas planted to the true Washington strain. But the Virginia bent and the German bents have withered and faded away under the | blasting blight of the fungus growths, ‘Truly, this new putting green grass, if it remains resistant throughout the bal-s/ ance of the Summer to the fungus, is the finest putting green grass ever found by scientists of the Department | of Agriculture, Ball Rolls Smoothly. Over its smooth, velvet surface, a putted ball rolled smoothly without the slightest tendency to leap and hop. ‘The ball, too. rolled truly to the cup. holding its line against the downward pull of gravity even though it was against a 2 per cent slope. The putt can be struck firmer—must be struck firmer—on this new grass. because it makes a slower putting surface than the other bents, no matter how close- ly it is clipped. From our experience of putting greens in all sections of the country, it makes the finest putting surface we ever have seen. The patch is so small that a pitched ball could hardly be played to it. but Dr. Mon- teith assured us that it would hold a pitch certainly as well and probably better than the best of the Washing- ton bents. y Golf professionals (some of them) have had a theory for years that greens sown to bent make a more uniform putting surface than greens planted to bent stolons. We asked Dr. Monteith about this, and to prove the fallacy of . such a conclusion he brought out his putting machine. This is a mechanical putter whose blade moves through the same arc and the same length of arc each time, striking the ball in exactly | ths same way with each forward stroke. First he put the machine on a plece of the new velvet bent, striking the | ball toward the upslope of a 2 per | cent grade. The average of four balls ‘went 11 feet 3 inches. Then he struck them down the same slope, and the average of the four went 11 feet 8 inches. He explained that no golfer, with his human weaknesses, can regu- late the distance a ball will roll with- in five inches, for the ball was barely ;:’lll;nl.n! over for the last foot of the Proves He Is Right. Then he took the machine over to A patch of sown Columbia bent, and the same thing was proved. In fés case the margin between the up-slope Toll and the down-slope roll was the s2me—five inches—and the ball stop- ped as truly at the end of its roll as 1t had on the other bent. The pros have claimed, Dr. Mon- teith explained, that a ball struck with the trend of the grass on Wash- n bent was hard to control, while A ball struck against the grain of the grass would not roll far enough. The + chief reason for the uncertainty of the professionals, Mr. Monteith claims, is the human factor, for the machine ¢ strikes the ball exactly the same way each time, while it is hardly physically possible for a putter blade to hit the ball the same way more than once. Out at the Arlington turf faym a plot about 100 yards long by 70 yards wide is planted at all the known va- wieties of bents, and even the lowly Poa Annua and the more lowly crab grass. In some of these patches the brown patch and other fungus have made astonishing inroads. Some of them are poek-marked like the face of a sufferer from smalipox, while others have but a slight peppering of the smali brown atch. And through it all the velvet nts and the pure Washington and metropolitan bents remain green and true, with the same fungus eradicating treatment the other grasses get.

EABRIGHT, N. J. August 3.— Playing on a rain-drenched court, Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Calif.. won the women's singles final in the annual Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club tournament today, completely outclassing her fellow Californian, Edith. Cross of San Fran- cisco, by scores of 6—1, 6—2. The match lasted but 33 minutes. A gallery of slightly more than 200, including Gov. Morgan F. Larson of New. Jersey, looked on as Miss Jacobs, the country’s second ranking player. successfully defended her Seabright laurels won last year. z From the outset it was seen that Miss Cross, No. 3 in the national ranking, had little chance against the well placed driving and fine volleying of iss Jacobs. Miss Cross was able to win only three scattered games, the same number collected by Marjorie Morrill of Dedham, Mass., in the semi-final and by Marjorie Gladman of Santa Monica, Calif., in the third round. Miss Jacobs suffered the loss of but. 11 games but not a single set in her four matches. Speeds Up Her Game. Instead of slowing up Miss Jacobs’ game the pelting rain appeared to make it more dangerous. Her crisp drives slithered over the turf with a low, de- ceptive bound that had Miss Cross banging the ball outside or into the net for a total of 83 errors in the two sets. Miss Jacobs, on the other hand, made 49 miscues and in the difference lay her superiority. iss Cross, taking the net whenever possible in spite of the bad fooling. scored 18 placements to Miss Jacobs’ 16, | but her numerous errors caused her to | beat herself. | Miss Jacobs started off with a rush, winning the first game on her service ing through Miss Cross in-a deuced second game. After dropping two more in rapid succession, Miss Cross finally checked - her opponent’s rush for a | moment. On a placement volley -and | three forced errors by Miss Jacobs, she ! performed the feat of piercing the | No. 2 ranking star's service at love, | but her success proved short-lived. Finding her racket thoroughly soaked, Miss Jacobs procured a new weapon and came back to reel off two more games for the set. Both players now ' had drawn on heavy woolen socks over , their rubber-soled shoes in the hope of | better traction on the rain-soaked | grass. It was raining harder as they | started the second set. Traveling at tdp speed, Miss Jacobs raced through the first game at love on | her opponent’s_service -and added the second before Miss Cross was able to pull out her own delivery in that went to deuce -twice. the sixth game Miss Cross pi long deuced decision, this time on a break through service. But Miss Cross was being forced to do all the running and speed of foot was proving - increasingly eult as the court became more and more like a section of a swamp. Once, in the sixth game, she fell sought to retrieve a tricky trop shot. ‘The rain, inere g to near cloud- burst proportions, completely drowned out the men's doubles final, which eventually was postponed until tomor- row, with the youthful team of Berkeley . Bell of Austin. Tex., and Gregory Mangin, Newark, N. J., leading the old Davis Cup combination of Richard H. Williams, 2d, Philadelphia, and Watson Washburn, New York, 7—S, 1—5, 4—6, 2—1. In the mixed doubles final, contested later in the day, when the weather had improved, Bell and Marjorie Morrill, Dedham, Mass., defeated Clara Zinke, Cincinnati, and J. Gilbert Hall, South with loss of but two points and break- STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE which was well on the road to completion on a Saturday (al- in steady play by the follow- ing Wednesday? That is what has Just been accomplished by Maj. R. D. New- man, Cavalry, U. S. A, down at Fort Meade, Md. ‘Mai. Newman, who is the course architect at_the Army, Navy and Ma- rine Corps Country Club, and is a sort of godfather to Army golf courses about tie Capital, received orders from Col. . K. Parsons, in command at Fort Meade, to build a nine-hole golf course through the scrub of that flat section ) augury. of nearby Maryland. He got together a group of the big | Army tanks which are in use at Fort Meade and, plowing their way through undergrowth and swamp land, the tanks carved out the courses of the fairways, while behind them followed squads of doughboys armed, not with guns and grenades. but with axeg and shovels. Gradually there came into being the outlines of a rudimentary sort of golf course. The greens were planted to stolons from the bent nursery at the service club over in Virginia, which came up quickly and formed a fairly good putt- ing surface. Things went along swim- mingly, with the course about half com- pleted when orders came through from Col. Parsons that the course must be ready for play within five days. There was_great activity, much rolling and, leveling and sodding, and the course was ready within the specified period. It now is in play—nine holes of it, and the other nine are ready for mapping out by airplane, which Maj. Newman declares is the easiest way to lay out a golf course. ‘Would you believe that a niblick is the best club to play an approach putt with? It turned out to be the best and probably the only practical club to use for Dr. L. J. Rosenthal of Baltimore on the fifth green of the Annapol's Roads course last Monday. This green, which has been termed the largest putt- ing green in America, is almost cut in two by a deep trap, on either side of which the pin may be placed. As it happened, the pin was on the right side of the green wien Dr. Rosen- thal played the hole, and his ball came to rest on the left side of the green. There was nothing left to do but loft the ball 35 yards over the trap toward the pin. Of course, Dr. Rosenthal was very careful not to cut the turf, but he played the short with a niblick, just the same. ‘The professionals, who played the course last Monday were very enthusi- astic about it. Most of them felt, how- ever, that the tee shots are not _tight enough, that too much room is left tc wander about in from the tee, and that a stiffening-up process might well be gone through with on both sides of the irways. & J.

Some day some long-hitting golfer is going to romp over the Bannock- burn course in 66 or 67, if the score made recently by Leo F. Pass is any al . Pass had a card of 33 on the last nine holes after getting out in 40 and might have scored a 31 if one or two holeable putts had gone down. Par for the first nine holes is 35, and has been done, but no player has been able to hook up the two nines with scores sufficiently low to break 70. The present course record, playing the ball where it lies, is 71 and is held by W. L. Pendergast. Pass took four strokes to get down from a spot 15 yards from the pin at the sixteenth hole, where he might as easily have scurded 2 4 as the 6 that adorned his card. 4 Little Point. on Grip Golfer Should Watch EAGIER 10 KEEP CLuB TURN TOE FACE ON LINE 'CAUSES HOOK Soms years ago a golf writer close to Bobby Jones wrote a maga- zine article on the importance of placing the little finger of the right hand correct position when | erzasoN F a heap as she | | plained that it | erty and, therefore, WILL BETTER FOR MANY is in thorough aj that the 5-cent ti dren under 12 years of age, Parks, the president of the co Mr. Hoover is not in such tions put forth b dictments that they were when share of his association’s expenses other than for actual expenditures A co! ndent has written to The Sggesting that “there are some going e courts are not “that the tennis courts are mot kept in the same condition that they were when operated as free courts.” Seores Condition of Courts. “Some of the courts are in-about. the same condition that you would -expect if they were used between times. for polo,” he’ wrote. “The courts are: very seldom “properly marked so -that even when an important tournament match is going .on, no_backline comes to.view; court to cou: to ‘the trouble of reses will wait around and. pounce upon any court .on which four persons are not playing—and then only be compelled to pay 5 cents per hour per person for the privilege of sharing the court which the other two players have paid 40 cents to Teserve. & “I believe that this is improper. writes the correspondent, “that the per- son who goes to the trouble of reserving his court a week in advance should pay the same price as those ‘who hang around, force themselves on and pay & nickel.” 1 believe, however, that the price of general permits should be raised and not the price of specials Jowered.

No Interest in Investment. “After all, we must consider thlt‘ these courts mre Government property | and that there is no investment to pay interest on and no taxes.

The Star asked M.\nml-lo\'m»l:1 u:| state of the question, an e ex- L 'ql! only the fact that rts were ey free from taxes or investment interest that made it possible to provide them for the play- ers at such a nominal rental fee.

Referring to the charge that the free courts were kept in better con- dition, Mr. Hoover asserted that he was having a comparative survey made now by those familiar with the conditions under the old regime, and felt that the report would not be un- favorable to the present system of operation. “If we do find that there is a tend- ency toward deterioration today,” he declared, “we are prepared to do what we can at once to see that the courts are properly maintained and expect to be in a position to make extensive | repairs before the start of another season.” “It ‘was because of a shortage of funds for the upkeep of the courts that they were turned over to the Welfare Association in the first place.” he added. continue operating | charge to players.

Wins Many Titles. BY R. L. CONDY. Editor Canadian Lawn Tennis and Badminton. ORONTO, August 3.—A few years ago, a tiny tot stood at one side of the net clasping a racket as big as herself in both hands and patted the ball back over father on the other side. As she became stronger her father ‘graduslly moved her farther back from the net. The next stage found her holding the racket with one hand and getting the ball back the whole length of the court. After a few months— before she tried to play a real game of tennis, her father took her to the practice board where every day for her little might under the watchful eye of her parent. Today, only four months after her seventeenth birthday that little girl, Olive Grace Wade, is lady singles champion of Canada, Incidentally, she has already won more titles than there are years in her .
