SHORTY, GOLF DO, HAS NEW GOLLAR Santa Finds a Place in Bag for Neckwear for Mutt at Indian Spring. S has not won an abiding place in the affections of members of the Indian Spring Golf Club. On Christmas day Shorty appeared at the golf shop of the club his lengthy tail and grinning all over his face. If ever a dog was happy and showed it, Shorty did. The cause was a doggy collar, all loaded down with brass and doo-dads hung around Shorty’s neck. Emmett Jasper was the good samaritan who turned Santa Claus in Shorty's favor and presented the mutt with the dog collar, which he nlo‘l') wears in canine pride around the club. But the collar is not the first to which Shorty has fallen heir. Last September Perry Hoover gave Shorty a real doggy collar—a collar of parts, about 3 inches wide, loaded down with brass and knick-knacks. Hoover tried it on Shorty and it fitted, and then George Diffenbaugh took it down- {own to have the name plate engraved. Somewhere in the engraving process the collar was lost, and Shorty went for months without & collar. Now he has his neckband, and there still is a hope the other collar may be found. If it is found Shorty will have a collar for week days and one for Sunday: 4 Even though Shorty is just a plain mutt, there never has been a dog around any golf club which has won such an abiding place of affection in the hearts of golfers. Every member of the club knows Shorty and watches for that canine grin and that friendly waggle of the tail with which Shorty greets him. ~ And Shorty never forgets a friend, for they are all friends to him. He can't go wrong with that philosophy. However, when the hunting season rolls around Shorty, despite his friendliness, becomes a pain in the neck to Perry Hoover. Being just plain dog, ‘Shorty knows nothing of the technique of bird hunting and less about rabbit hunting. So when Hoover goes out in the flelds near the Indian Spring Club he care- fully shuts Shorty up in the clubhouse. Notwithstanding his care, he often sees Shorty loping across the fields in front of him, frightening up the birds and ;aner:nn the rabbits back into their HORTY is just a dog—a plain ‘mongrel mutt. But being a plain mutt does not imply that Shorty CENTRAL DEFEATED IN OVERTIME GAME — .

The team events were quite popular and each year there were from six to a dozen clubs represented in the team matches. But along about 1919 interest in the team matches began to wane and they were definitely aban+ doned by the association—as a perma= nent policy—in 1922, when the returns from the previous year showed that only two clubs evidenced enough interest in the team matches to send teams to compete. Along about that time the District Golf lation sponsored an interclub team championship, which went along merrily for three or four years and then also was abandoned, From these two experiments it would appear that the formal team match be- tween clubs with a championship at stake does not go over so big in this neck of the woods. Intercity Competition, But an intercity team competition, with four or flve cities represented in the event, would be quite another mate ter.

It has bes come almost axiomatic in the individual championships held by the Middle At~ lantic Golf Association in recent years that 90 per cent or more of the entries in the event are from the city in which the tournament is held. In past years this was not the case, for we recall Mi atlantic tourneys in Norfolk and Rich- mond to which 35 and 40 golfers from Washington traveled, with the as: ance that they would not only have & lot of good golf, but that they also would have a good time, Why golfers do not travel nowadays to attend the big tournaments, chiefly the mid-Atlantic championship, something they alone can answes that they do not attend is a certa; At the last Middle Atlantic Golf Asse ciation champlonship, held st the Bal- timore Country Club, not a single golfer from a Virginia club entered his name, Perhaps the Volstead act has had some- thing to do with it. - Perhaps not.
