Extenswe Golf Card Occupies Chevy Chase Club Seniors Use Same Grip for All Shots, START THOMPSON CUP PLAY MAY 1 Perkins Plate Event Now on and Senior-Pro Tourney Next Monday. ITH one tournament in the second round of match play, | and due to be finished within a fortnight, that live golf organization within the Chevy Chase Club—the Senior Golf Association of | the club—today announces competition for still another trophy to be played off at match play beginning May 7. The event to start next week will be the | annual tourney for the Morven Thomp- son Memorial Cup, presented to the association in memory of that fine| gentleman and golfer, Morven Thomp- son, chairman of the Greens Com- mittee at Chevy Chase for many years, who died a little more than two years ago. The tournament is a match play affair, with full handicaps to count, with one round scheduled each week until the event is completed. The winner will have his name engraved on the brass plate in the club house and will receive a smaller cup for his per- sonal possession. In addition to the event for the Thompson trophy, the senjors are competing at present in the tourney for the Perkins Plate. Here are the pairings for the Thomp- son trophy: Gen. E.D. Bricker (® & Victor Kaufl- mann- (is). Admiral H. drive from the back tees, while the seniors will use the usual tees and re- ceive their full senior association handi- cap. Seniors are requested to be at the first tce ready to play, at 1:30 p.m. 'HOSE perennial rivals of a score of grim battles of the links—Harry G, Pitt and Miller B. Stevinson—of Manor and Columbia, respectively, were in opposite halves of the draw as the initial match play rounds in the Spring invitation tournament of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club got under way today over the testing course of the club out in Virginia. ‘Whenever Stevinson and Pitt play in a golf tournament, it is always inter- esting to_see whether they are in op- posite halves of the draw, for while it is by no means certain that they will both go through to the final round, the prospect of another final between this pair always holds out alluring possi- Dbilitles for some real golf. Harry Pitt, who gct into the first | flight on a play-off for the last two places last night. met Dr. Thomas D. Webb of Washington in the first round |of the tourney today, while Stevinson played against Mel Shipley of Argyle, |leader of the qualifying round for a time. Inasmuch as Webb finished sec- ond in the qualifying round with a fine | score of 75, it may be seen that Harry Pitt has no easy job on his hands. Walter R. McCallum, who won the qualifying round with a card of 73, was opposed to Thomas S. Pitt, the fine swinging player from Argyle, in the opening round of the tourney. McCallum picked up four birdies in ‘winning the medal round yesterday, and as & matter of fact might have scored several strokes lower than his winning 73. His main mistake came at the short | elevepth, hole, which was layed into the teeth of a high wind yesferday. His mashie tee shot carried into the trap | behind_the pin and attempting to putt | the ball out, it struck the overhanging bank and remained in the trap. He got |a 5 on this par 3 hole, followed with | three puuts on the twelfth green for a fifteenth and sixteenth holes stood on par 4s for a Tl His tee shot 2t the seventeenth came R.|to rest on a stone and he pulled the ra Clagence Hall (6) s L.

Just in front of Mc- Callum was Dr. Webb, out in 38 and ‘¥ | coming strong over the last nine until Col. | he hit the fifteenth hole, where his 35 | second shot hit a tree and he took 8 6, one over par. He had a 4 on the eighteenth for 8 74, but took a 5. IGHT players tied at 81 for two places in the first flight, but only four were present when the time came for the play-off. Those who started were W. J. Cox of Beaver Dam, Harry G. Pitt of Manor, W. C. Evans O | of Columbia, and Dr. J.'B. Builard of Rickmond. Cox knocked his first tee H. | shot out of bounds and holed a lengthy ts (1) vs. h Birauss” (19). In addition to the°two competitions named, the zeniors are to play in a tourney for a trophy presented by H. A. Gillis, to go to the member making the best net card during the month of May. Full handicaps will count, and Gen. [ has presented a cup to go to! the member making the best putting score for 27 consecutive holes. ‘The seniors are looking forward to the senior-pro tournament, to be played at Chevy Chase next Monday. This | will be a tourney staged by the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Associa- tion, with all the senior partners of the professionals to be drawn from the ranks of the Chevy Chase Club seniors. ‘The pros will play Summer rules and fle Safé A ‘» putt for a 4, while Pitt took an iron and poled a long one down the middle.

Those who Were not present at play-off time were J. Monro Hunter, jr.; Norman J. Hall, D. E. Atherton and Maj. E. A.

This star uses the overlapping. that one the interlocking, another just the old-fashioned grip. These varieties really make no difference at all in the results; that is, none of them involves any secret ‘The whole thing is to keep the hands close together, first, so that the grip is comfortable; second, so that the hands work in unison.
