SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1980. SPORTS. Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club Has Made Remarkable Advante ‘MAN BEHIND GUNS 1S GEN. SUMMERALL Boasts 2,300 Members With 800 Residents—Others All Over Globe. l united service country club near the Capital of the United States is fast becoming a cogent fact. Organized only three or four years ago, with its aim a great| country club to which officers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps would belong, the new country club, fashioned of dreams and woven of that sterner stuff which makes the services the fine organ- | izations they are, is fast becoming | one of the biggest factors in coun- | try club life around Washington. | Any organization that has increased | its membership from a mere handful in| less than three years to something more | than 2,300 members scattered all over | the globe wherever the American flag files has done something few clubs ever have done before. | And a resident membership of nearly | 800 officers points the way to the dream of Gen. Charles P. Summerall, U. S. A. | Tetired, that some day nearly every|. officer of every service detailed in Wash- ington will belong to this newest giant among_country clubs around the Cap-| ital. Civilians are allowed to join the club only in one way—through the HE far flung dream of a| four-star general for a medium of a life membership. Officers | (¥ of the services constitute practically the entire membership. Maj. Newman on Job. Three years ago Maj. Richard D. Newman, Cavalry officer, was brought to Washington by the then chief of staff, Gen. Summerr'l, whose life dream it was to see a united service country club located near Washington and ordered to go to work and look over property in nearby Virginia with a view to the establishment of such a club. Flying over the terrain in an airplane, he looked down on rugged country over near the wreless towers at Arl and found thereon a commodious club| house used for years as a Knights of | Columbus country club. The organ izers purchased this property, and New. man, l(lln with the aid of the airplane, built thereon a unique golf course. Stretching out to a distance of more than 6,600 yards, this golf course has not a trap on it, and yet the best pro- fessionals have barely been able to beat ar on the layout. Newman builded ter than he knew, for now the course is in first-class shape and the natural difficulties are such that no traps are needed. - Only one drawback remains on the club course. This is a piece of property located between the ninth tee and the new ninth green which is owned by a private individual and which the club cannot purchase because of the prohibitive price. Failure of the |- organization to secure this property has resulted in short ninth and tenth holes, whereas under the original scheme for layout the ninth and tenth holes both. would be two shotters. Occupies Historic Ground. The course is laid out over historic ground for it was up the valley in which the major portion of the golf course is laid that an advance squad- ron of a Confederate raiding force came in the middle days of the Civil ce ‘War to stand upon the hills on which | S8Rt some of Lhe tees are located and look across the into the Federal Capital. Hld they known that the|}" outposts along that' portion of Vir- ia were few and the Federal de- lenders of the Capital concentrated mostly on the northwest side of the city, they might have made an entrance mm the Capital. But a sentry fired on from an eminence located within them the club boundaries of today and afraid | o of ambush and disaster they wflhdrew toward Culpep Over the = where their hor:es trod men of the united services today | strive to drive golf balls toward an elu- sive hole. Thus have the pleasures and sports of peace taken the place of the | clash of arms and the roar of battle. Only two major changes have been made in the golf course since Maj. Newman, equipped with a topographic map, laid out the holes from the eleva- tion of his airplane cockpit. These are the seventh, a short hole of about | wetcham's) WINS TWELVE STRAIGHT Hontgomery County Refuse Team Bowls Into First Place.

Capt. Menzies Now Here. | Up in the club house, and indeed on the golf course, too, Maj. Newman's| successor presides with the same knowledge and ability that the con- structor of the course had. Newman now is attending classes at the Army War College, preparing to go on to higher things in the Cavalry, while Capt. J. T. Menzies, his successor, car- ries on as manager of the Army-Navy Country Club. Newman and Menzies have been together in many spots of the globe, and think and act alike. Both are thoroughly imbued with the spirit that | here is one of the coming country clubs of America and Menzies is carry- ing on where Newman left off. Within the past two months two massive wings have been completed on the original club house, commodious and ample to take care of the large membership. A unique touch to the new construction is the fact that the masts of ships which | once plowed the seven seas now up- hold the porches of the new wings. A | swimming pool is under construction to be ready for use next year and far down in a corner of the property a polo fleld where Army polo matches will be played one day, is taking form.

And to vision it correctly let us look at it as we see it in actual play. Here we are with our feet firmly on the ground, our hands, the club and the ball alone visible. The line to the hole, the line we wish to drive the ball, is an imaginary one. But we must sense it, otherwise we’ll send the_ ball any old place. Ted Ray once told me that when he addressed a ball and prepared to play it, his rm;lld ‘l“h ;ox:ze?mt‘kd upon swinging his club head low in- to the ball and the line of flight from inside that line, The sketch shows just what Ray means by swinging “into the ball from inside.” —_— ~ come 1NTC N BALL ON THIS ARC = AHAT'S WHAP "INTO BALL. ME. FOLLOW ‘That's the big idea. And as the golf swing isn't a hit but lawtn must sense s ch ead not only “into inside,” but also through, just as if the cluh head was to go along with the ball. Those two principles are uppermost in con- troling the swing. Concentrate upon mem and your muscles will respond to your mind. Golf is a form game. Correct your pivot and you will add yardage to your shots.

NEW YORK, December 17 (#).—Three of base ball's greatest sluggzrs may give major league club owners in the metro- | politan district a few days of annoyance before they sign contracts for 1931. They are Bill Terry of the Giants, Lou Gehrig of th: Yankees and Babe Herman of the Robins. Tefry hit over 400 and Herman crowded .390 all sea- son. Both are certain to ask for big increases in salary. Gehrig also might be justified in asking for a substantial raise for he was barely b-aten out for the American League batting title and led the league in runs batted in. TO SHOOT FOR TUBKEYS.

Kummer had ‘been 11l for several days with pneu- monia. In 1920 Man O’ War won 11 races and Kummer was in the saddle in nine of them. Starting his career 15 ago as a lad of 16, .he rode some of the best horses in the country, winning almost all of the important prizes except the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Futurity. He rode Man O’ War to a noteworthy victory in the international race with Epinard in 1924. In 1925, with Kummer up, Man O’ ‘War defeated Sir Barton at Kenilworth. That avas the last race in which the famous horse and the noted jockey were assoclated. Surviving Kummer are his widow and two children.
