When it was made plain to the men who handle the affairs of the - club that it would cost many thousands of dollars to put the course in shape to entertain a national field, they passed up the national championship they might have had for the asking and de- cided to concentrate on course recon- struction work over a period of years that will bring the course into proper ghape to hoid a major championship five or six .years hence. Although club officials have not defi- nitely said they are after a national, it is known that many of them weuld like to see a major title tourney held on the classic course out in Montgomery County. But at present, considering the | outlay that would be necessary to put the course in shape for a national title within a year or two, they have decided | to take several years to rebufld their course and probably within a decade will €0 out strong fcr a national tourney. | Partial Steps in Plan. The new tenth and eleventh holes and the reconstruction of tne three greens scheduled for this Fall are partial steps in this plan. Ultimately many of the holes will be thoroughly gone over and probably many of them will be reconstructed, particularly such holes as the first and sixth on the first nine, which could be made into very strong holes with a little touching up. Club authorities are nct altogether satisfied with the eighth Thole, elther, belfeving that it is too easy @ par 5 and too hard a par 4. There may be a change in the distance of this hole. Do not be surprised & few years hence, after Congressional completes its constructicn program already under way, to see a national title tourney come to the big club out near Potomac, Md.

MERKLE, who has been playing golf only a little more | than a year, won the season trophy for Kiwanis Olub golf- ers in a tournament at the Washington Golf and Country Club. Merkle scored an 84 yesterday at Washington to add to his 88 of the previous tourney at Indian Spring for & gross.of 174 and a met of 158. He had a handicap of 12 strokes in both rounds. First low gross went to G. P. Mallonee with & card of 77—4—73. Low net in class A went to O, T. Wright with 86— 12—74. Jess Garwood won the first ize in class B with 96—20—76, and |E. lxgu prize in class C went to. Gearge C. Cole, with & card of 110—80—80. A dinner at the Washington club followed the tourney. VER hear of three birdies in one four-ball match on & hard par 4 hole? And there were no pro- fessional golfers in the match either. ‘The stunt was done yesterday on the thirteenth hole at the Washington Golf and Country Club, a hole which meas- ures about 385 ds from tee to green and takes quite a bit of golf to get & par 4.

Stan HIS sad tale is the outgrowth of a conversation started last| night in the office of Mr. Alonzo Herman Krauss, manager of the Columbia, who retired to his den with the intention of giving his ach- ing pins a much-earned rest. Len Col- lins, author of “The Duckpin Blue Book,” already was there and the pair started chewing the fat. = Fifteen minutes of aimless gossip al- ternately and simultaneously flowed from the lips of this duo, when Len picked up the National Duckpin Bowl- gan turning the pages. Suddenly Leng as though a bright thought had suddenly walked up and shook hands with him, spoke, “Say, Red Megaw’s name isn't in this book.” “That's funny, responded Loni “but anyway he didn’t have such good year last season. Did you look in the rankings?” “‘Yeah,” replied Len. do ,remember Red being ranked, you?” “Nope,” answered Lonnie, “do you?” “I said I didn’t,” popped back Len. “Anyway, I'm going to find out. Gimme that phone!” “Hello, Red? Len Collins. Were you ever ranked among the first 20 bowlers by the N. D. B. C?” ¢ Faintly over the wire came Red's answer: “Gee, I never thought of that, Len. Wait'll I get my scrap book.” A minute later Red's voice was heard again: “No, not among the first ?g“ But I got honorable mention in “Say, I never do Li 'S a sad and peculiar case,” Len Collins allowed as he hung “Y the receiver. ‘Here's one of the really great howlers of all time, yet he's been forced to give way to some- body in each of the three years the N.

It was a world’s record for five games. Then the King Pins won the Wi n_ City Duckpin Association ~cham) ip that year. And Red won the Oampbell Sweep- stakes, t00.” ‘Then Len piped up.

Coach Noble Kizer has his full strength and plans to shoot the works of a forward and lateral pass attack Saturday. There are a few injuries in the Illinf camp, but all hands are expected on deck cr the battle at Ross-Ade Stadium. Notre Dame's hopes of stopping Northwestern's wildcats bounded upward today following verified reports that “Reb” Russell, Northwestern’s star full- back, may be out of the battle because of back bruises suffered in the Nebraska me and the improved showing cf the g“oue Dame forwards. In last night's scrimmage, the Irish reserves stopped every Northwestern play and Coach “Hunk" Anderson became so enthu- slastic_that he intimated he may start them Saturday.

HERNDON, Va., October 7.—Though marked by dry trails and unusual heat making the scent difficult and the run- mn! uncomfortable, the seventh annual fleld dog trials of the Northern Virginia Amateur Field Trials Association just br;)ulhl to a close were highly success- ul.

Cur pitching for the rest of the way looks better than mack’s. That's what gives us confidence, that and our ability to come back quickly after a defeat. Street has Hallahan, with four full days of rest, all primed and will have Grimes, I guess, ready for the Friday game in St. Louls. Grimes hurt the little finger on his right hand in Monday's game, but he told me that it will not hurt his pitch- ing later. He had the finger X-Rayed | and was tickled when he was told there were no bones broken. | _ Then there is Derringer to be counted. Big Paul, who was in bed all Monday with a nose abscess, showed he was ready for another start, if needed, when Street used him in the eighth inning. Paul just breezed through the A's yes- terday, pitching to only three batters, and is eager to get another crack them. (Copyright, N 1931. by the North American ewspaper Alliance, Inc.)
