HICH golf course about the Capital is generally regarded as the out standing layout, a test] of scoring ability and shot-mak- ing alike? | Washington is fortunate in hav-| ing at least four exceptionally| : fine golf courses, layouts which | have been built by master de-| signers with a view toward the| future and courses which un- doubtedly rank in difficulty with | similar Jayouts around any other city in the southeastern part of | the country. But which of these is the best? The professionals (and we use that term in the collective and not in the individual sense) aver that the golf course of the famed Burning Tree Club is the finest layout around Washington, even though a few of them do not care to play Burning Tree since the unfor- tunate incident a few years back, when | some visiting pros overdid a good thing and started playing five-ball and six- | ball matches, with the result tkat play was slowed down, the course sloggom | and the powers that be at Burning| Tree ordered the pros to pay green fees | like any other golfer. But, even at| that, they admit that Burning Tree is the finest test of the game around the Capital, demanding the finest of shots d the most accurate short game to score moderately well over those length- | ened fairways. Doesn't Want Tourney. | Which naturally brings up the ques- tion, Why does not Burning Tree go after one of the big national cham- | plonships? The answer, we are inform ed by a prominent club official, is tha the course would be far too easy for 8 fast fleld of amateurs or professionals Wouid it be too easy, we asked, if it | were trapped as most championship | courses are trapped? Dr. Walter S.| Harban, who has charge of the course | upkeep at Burning Tree, said it might | be too easy even then, but that in any | case the club is too far away from | transportation lines, the club house is not equipped to handle a large entry, and, to sum the matter up, Burning Tree at present does not care to stage a major championship.

If the de- fensive player goes in fast and then leaps without noting carefully the actions of the shooter, a smart of- fensive player will switch tactics and gain an casy basket. Many a time I have seen it done. As the defensive player leaped, the shooter, instead of trying for the basket, breaks around him by drib- bling the ball with Ilightninglike speed. Before the defensive man can alight and recover, the opponent at- tacking whl be under the basket making a one-hand push. shot, the easiest shot of all to score with. So, when playing such a position on defense be on guard either to block the direct chest shot or the rapid change to a dribble. In short, do not let the player feint you out of position.

This time, although many stars have taken their turns, onl, one set better than 600 has been rolled, -« Al Fischer's 614 putting him on top, with much to spare. 1 De Fino was unable to make a mark |in his first game. He struggled for a " 97 in the sccond, rolled hopefully in | the third and counted 118 and hit 'em {and split 'em the rest of the way for | scores of 101 and 90. TUDENTS of the game are unable ~ to account for the low pinfall. The Coliseum drives have been famous for high scores and at this time are in prime condition, having been slicked specially for the tournament. The Yuletide event should be a “set- up” for star bowlers, inasmuch as they compete on equal terms with the dufe fers, but most of the prizes in the last two years have been collected by men and vomen with mediocre averages. It was no surprise when a woman un- known to duckpin fame rolled into first place last night, Arlean Carmichael gather:d 322 sticks to take the lead by ' a_ healthy margin. Her games were 115, 103 and 104. Lucy Owen, the Eastern Star cham- |, pion, had a golden opportunity to set a tournament record when she ed with a game of 135, but was unable to keep the garage and totaled 310, a score which likely will gain her & minor | prize. ENNIE EGAN put on a powerful finish to land among the leaders ', with a set of 309. Her last game was 118. Betty Dugan rolled into fifth place with 307, C. V. Joyce of the Prince Georges County League got in two excellent * strings—142 and 131—and totaled 587, a score that ordinarily would be un- noticed, but which is conspicuous in - - this tournament. g C. L. Bernhardt flashed here and there to count 575. Frank Miller went him |10 pins better, though missing numer- |ous spares. George Cummings, with a | high game of 141, rolled 564. George . Bradt got 576 and Tody Saylor s?} 3 These were all the scores above mediocre rolled last night. B UTSTANDING on tonight's program is John Henry Hiser of Hyattsville; leader of the District League. Hiser is having the best season of & bright: career. 'His average in the Dis- trict League is better than 120, and if he holds it throughout the suburbanite will'establish a record. Hiser will shoot ** at 6:30 o'clock on alleys 24 and 25.
