ONLY ONE PROJECT NOW ON FOOT HERE Last Decade Brought Grea!" Development in Private Links Enterprises. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HE era of private golf clul | development, around Washington apparently has ended. Only one privat club development project pears on the horizon as the wan- ing days of 1930 slide past and another decade makes its debut. | The frenzied early days of the dec- | ade, between 1920 and 1930, when no | fewer than six private clubs had their beginning have gone, and Washington, | now with an ample’ number of private country clubs to handle the large num- ber of golfers who play the game, hzsl lapsed into a period of inactivity in so| far as the development of new clubs is | concerned. Probably the next decade | will_see not more than one private country club project launched about | the Capital, in addition to the one al- 20 Years Ago In The Star, Statistics show that Charles (Gabby) Street, stellar catcher of the Washington base ball team, has set a record by backstopping in a total of 860 games, more than 100 a season, since breaking into pro base ball in 1903. ‘Washington Colored Y.

In this period the following clubs were organized and developed: Burning Tree, Congressional, Indian Spring, Manor and Argyle. A | year or so later came Beaver Dam, & | net addition to the list of country clubs about Washington 6f six clubs, and all of them were clubs which nurtured a group of new golfers, many of them from that great breeding ground for prospective country club members—the municipal courses, If these six clubs have an average membership of 250 (and the figures probably are higher| than that), or a net gain of 1,500 play- ers, the growth of the gam: hetween 1920 and 1930 will be seen to have beem very large. This has been reflected in the tremendous increase in the number | of entries in the invitation tournaments about the Capital and the generally en- hanced interest in the game as a whole. No Golf Depression. Conceding 1930 to have been a year of general depression (which it has not been in a golf way around Washington), it may be readily seen that the begin- ning of th: new decade would not be likely to see the launching of new coun- try club projects. But if we view the years from 1921 to 1929 as boom years, and note the extensive new country club developments in that period, may not the return of general prosperity bring about a number of such new de- velopments? The Kenwood Country Club was an- other country club project launched about four years ago, but Kenwood is not classed by the District Golf Asso- ciation as a private golf club. The Dis- trict association has refused Kenwood application for membership in the or- ganization on the ground that it does not conform to the paragraph in the constitution of the association which says that the property and club house of all member clubs must be owned or controlled by the club, Kenwood, the District association officials say, is owned and controlled by the real estate de- velopment owning the property. ‘The last decade has most certainly be'n a period of great development of golf clubs about the Capital, and it is not reasonable to hold that the coming decade will show the same accretion. One or two clubs now have barely enough members to mezt, current obliga- tions, and while it would not be fair to say that Washington is oversaturated with country clubs, the saturation point has been very nearly reached. Saturation Point Here. Naturally mounting costs of upkeep of | golf courses and generally enhanced | costs of everything that goes into the tenance of a successful country club have had something to do with the matter, but the tip-off on the satura- tion point is that within the last year no fewer than four clubs have increased their dues or levied an assessment on their memb:rships. Under a situation such as this a new private country club development, unless it is extremely well | financed, would have hard sledding for the first few years. ‘Washington today has 10 large pri- vate country clubs operating within a radius of 15 miles of the Capital. All are successful and all maintain fine lf courses in first-class condition. e National Capital has more I clubs located in its environs than ?ls Baltimore, which has a population of more than a third more persons than Washington, but no country club here maintains two golf courses, as does the Baltimore Country Club. However, there are more golfers in Washington than there are in Baltimore, and we believe the standard of golf here is a bit higher than in Baltimore, as was | shown by the resnlts of the Maryland | State Golf Association team matches last Fall. So, in view of the economic condi- | tions touched upon, i is not likely that | | their wares on the New Year day cards. At Boston Thursday afternoon Ro- berto Reberti, Italian heavyweight, goes against Jose Santo, 269-pound Portu- guese battler, in the scrap which is the biggest in bulk and probably in impor- tance on the week’s program. Like the last oversize boxer to show his wares in Boston, Primo Carnera, who took his first defeat there, Santo prob- ably will get a thorough trial. “Double Robert” is by no means a midget and has a considerable amount of experience and ability, Another steady performer, Bruce Flowers of New Rochelle, N. Y., and Harry Dublinsky are the performers in a lightweight scrap at Milwaukee the same afternoon. The Madison Square Garden program Friday brings together Mateo Osa, Spanish heavyweight. and Pierre Charles of Belgium in the 10-round main bcut. It is proposed to match the winner against Max Baer, young Californian, who made an impressive Eastern debut recently. Other bouts on the week's national program include: Monday, at New York, Jamaica Arena—Al Rowe, Philadelphia, vs. Mel Arago, Peru, lightweights (10). ‘Tuesday, at Ind‘anapolis—Tracy Cox, Indianapolis, vs. Babe Ruth, Louis- ville, featherweights (10).

B1I PERFORMS TONIGH Low Scores Mark Big Even},‘ at Coliseum—Fischer’s 614 Looms Large. BY R. D. THOMAS. OMPETITION in The Eve- ning Star’s Yuletide sin- gles tournament will be P resumed tonight at the Coliseum, with bowlers from Pet- worth predominating. 3 In the Petworth delegation will be the defending ehampion, Tony De Fino, who won last year with a set of 632. Tony isn't even hopeful of equaling that perform= ance, for the little fellow has had little practice this season. Scores in the tournament have been much lower gencrally than expected. Many experts have taken tneir turns and only one has landed in the 600 class of (he aen’s division ard one m the 300 circle of the women’s section. Al Fischer's 614, slot op openihg ight, begins to look like cash, though y to win first prize. It is probable that Helena Kohler's 309, which tops the gir's, will be beaten to- night, when a number of formidable contenders will roll. Among these ure Lucy Owen, the Eastern Star champion; Helen Whitbock, Bess Hoftman, Betty Dugan and Ellen Viehmyes, AM BENSON, former National Duck- pin Bowling Congress all-events champion, will shcot with the 9:30 squad.
