SPORTS HAS NOT DECIDED -ON-DEFINITE BID Might Take 1932 Amateur if Obtainable, but Must Have Time to Prepare. AWO delegates from the Con- gressional Country Club will attend the annual meeting of the United States Golf Association in New York on Jan- uary 10 to lay before the associa- tion the position of the Congres- sional Club on the prospect of getting one of the national cham- pionships at Congressional in 1932. The men who will represent the club at the New York meeting are Guy Mason, chairman of the Tournament Committee, and Henry J. Richardson, chairman of | the Grounds Committee. Last October the officers of the Con- gressional Country Club were asquainted with the fact that the United States Golf Association will be in a receptive and favorable mood toward the bid of a ‘Washington club for ene of the big na- tional events for 1932—the Washington | Bicentennial year. Inasmuch as the Congressional Country Club was the only local club lcnvdy in the field for tional , _and would “rd ol such an event, club out near Rockville were a Illin with the sition of the United States Golf sociation—stated unoffielally by one of | *'%* its executives, Chances Appear Bright. At the time it was stated that the national golf governing body will favor- ably receive a petition from one of the Washington clubs for a national cham- Rloluhl in 1932, and it was said on igh authority within the councils of the United States Golf Association that if the proper pressure were brought w bear on the national body the award of a championship to one of the local clubs would be a mere formality. This was said to be in line with the of Government authorities to make ‘Washington the national center of all activities in the year which commemo- of Gaorge Wastington, s the vish of n, and the o t that e m&’.‘! desire t'l:m‘lt.h': lloe governmen y award of ene of l.he b). titular events. ©On being aequat with this un- officially stated polmon of the national golf body offioers of the Cmb immediately started the I.nz and n‘mclmed a committee to in. details of the prospective IWBYd, such as getting the course in shape, cost of the project and like mat- ters. Mason and Richardson are mem- bers of this committee. ‘The committee has not yet submitted & report to the board of the sional Club, and it 1s not known now what the position of the club will be with regard to a bid for the national amateur championship in 1832. But in all probability the committee may xndeed. the two new holes which are to be put into play next year—the tenth and eleventh—will go far toward making Congressional a better it course than it ever has been. And at the same time the club has before it & plan carefully prepared by Donald Ross which it can put into effect at practi- cally a moment's notice to bring course up to plonship ‘within a year. The _situation, cancisely stated, 1 his: If the elub is promised the na- tlonal amateur championship for 1932, # can go ahead immediately with the Ross plans for golf course improve- ments at a considerable cost; but if two or three more years are allowed to get the course in shape the cost will be cut | something like 40 or 50 per cent and the course will be in better condition to hold a championship in 1935 or 1936 than it would be in 1932 at a much greater cost. Matters to Be Decided. That is understood to be the present situation at Congressional as re&:;fi the prospective bid !ot the national | amateur champlonship of 1.32 ‘The | fssue is only w‘n:nuur hed into champlonship & year and a half hence. The committee, which includes Ma- son and Richardson, is considering these details carefully and a decision will be made prior to the annual meet- ing of the national body on January 10.

A pro I once took lessons from told me that one should do a jig on the tee be- fore driving in order to get his muscles loose and free for the swing to follow. Much of our tense- ness is mental. A at deal re- sults from gripping incorrectly. ‘Tommy Armour has a fine idea in gripping the club. It's mostly & finger grip with him. But he makes a point of extending the first thumb and finger of the right hand well down the club in holding it. «Such a grip compels you to hold WRISTS FORM ANGLES the club at the most widely sepa- rated points possible, & necessity if you are to control it during the swing. ‘Vardon accented the fact that both V's, those formed by the crease between thumbs and forefingers, should point to the right shoulder. ‘That's a simple test to insure plac- ing the hands correctly. Another point not to overlook is to let the arms hang naturally and then ex- tend the hands to grip the club. That will form angles between the back of each hand and its forearm —a sure sign of lack of rigidity. (Copyright. 1930.)

S far as national bowling records are concerned, Baltimore's maple maulers hold the edge over Washington's. Two rec- ords have been made this year and both by Orioles. The latest national mark to fall was the doubles score of 1,272 hung up by Paul Harrison and Maxie Rosenberg last January on the Coliseum alleys. Eddie Rommell, one of Connie Mack’s , and Ray Von Dreele, United States ranking duckpinner, are the new holders of the doubles’ record. Rolled last Saturday night, their 1,274 total was officially okayed yesterday by George Isemann, who motored to Balti- more to inspect the record.
