Club officials, basing their estimate | on the number of entries already re- ceived, confidently predict a otai en list of between 300 and 430 golfers by the time entries close Saturdav night. Invitaticns have been sent to all the | clubs about Washington which are members of the District of Columbia Golf Association and in addition many personal invitations have been mailed out. The renewal of the Indian Spring | tourney—long cne of the most popular | events about the National Capital—is | sure to bring out a large and fin> fleld, | for many golfers regard the Indian | Spring layout as second to none about | ‘Washington Officials of the club ere leaving noth ing undone to make the tourney an out- | standing success and the course is being | carcfully groomad to be in its best co! dition by next Tuesday, when the quali- roynd is billed to start. The last Indian Speing tourney, plaged in May, 1929, was won by Page Hufty of Con- nal, who beat F. J. Beger of Shackamaxon, N. J., in the final round. Hufty will not play in this year's tour- ney, as he has announced his decision not to play in any of the local tourna- ments. If the course is slow, scores of 81| probably will qualify in the first flight, | ‘while it is fast scores of 78 may be ! needed to make the grade.

Men like Ashmead Fuller and George Lyon failing to make the grade. Look at that first flight. It does look queer without Stevinson and Corkran in it. And most of the names are new to first-flight golf in this tournament.” Just what it was that shot the scores up s0 high in the two-day qualifying round of the Chevy Chase event no one can definitely say. Probably it was the combination of long tees and a very 4 STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE As the tournament stanas today it is a local affair, for none of the first flight golfers except Jimmy Herrman are from out of the city. GRID RECLAIMS CLARK All-America of 28 Granted Leave | by College to Play as Pro. COLORADO SPRINGS, May 14 (®).| —Esrl (Dutch) Clark, all-America | quarterback in 1928, has been granted | a leave of absence to play professional | foot ball next Fall, but will return to Colorado College as head basket ball coach in 1832, A leave of absence was ! approved by college trustees.

And Tommy Bones, the southpaw star of Columbia, who won the medal with a 76, will always remember the brassie shot on the third hole that really start- ed him on the spurt of golf that en- abled him to lead the fleld. Tommy | had made a poor tee shot barely out of | |the rough. "He stepped up with a | brassie and socked that ball dead on a |line for the distant pin—275 yards |away. ‘So truly hit was the shot and so well judged as to distance that the | ball came to rest only 10 inches from | the pin, and instead of going over par | on_the hole he bagged a birdie 3. The elements conspired to shoot the | scores away up, The tee plates were | well back and the soggy course made more than a few feet of roll an im- possibllity. And perhaps the new ball | had something to do with it. No one reached the ninth green from the tee— | 245 yards away. And no man reached | the sixth green in two shots.

Clifford B. Harmon, president of the International League of Aviators, will present four trophies to the St. Cloud Country Club, at Paris. at a luncheon Saturday. Rules of the competition will be announced at the mesting. Three of the cups will subsequently be awarded to the national cham- plons—French, British and Ameri- can. The fourth will go to the king putt of all naticns. and holes like the fourteenth and fifteenth were transformed from fairly | easy fours to hard fours. Bones' win- | ning total was just one stroke in front of the 77s registered by Maj. Earl L.| Naiden and Everett Eynon, both of Columbia. | For many years it has taken scores of 80 and better to qualify for the first | flight at Chevy Chase, but yesterday | scores of 82 played off for the last two places. and scores of 94 were drawn into the fifth flight. Bones met Harry G. Pitt of Manor in the first round, with one of the best matches of the tournament promised between this pair. In the top half of the draw the outstanding golfers are | Bones, Pitt and Jimmy Herrman of Washington, while in the bottom half such players as Maj. Earl L. Naiden and J. Monro Hunter stand out. The first two match play rounds today will bring the tourney to its semi-final phase tomorrow morning, with Pitt again an outstanding favorite to win the event for the fourth time in a row. Max R. Marston, Philadelphia star | amateur, who held the national cham- plonship in 1923, notified the committee early in the day that he could not play. TRUNKS L.S.JULLIEN,Inc 1443 P St. N.W.
