Bunkers Won't Bother Duffers On Many Golf Links in Future Clubs Are Urged to Make Grassy Hollows Of Sand Traps; Columbia Adopts Plan Bobby Jones didn’t miss when he suggested months ago that many of the bunkers on golf courses could be filled up with ad- vantage to duffer and low-handicap golfer alike. The Columbia Country Club, without ostentation, has started filling up useless bunkers on the golf course both to save money and the time of men required to cut the grass (by hand) and to save duffers many Merkle Bowlers Set League Marks as Brown Shines Hang Up New Standards For Game and Set in R. I. Avenue Loop Sharing the bowling spotlight today with Lee Brown and his headaches. So far the little bunker stuck in the face of a hill on the third hole, and another at the left side of the eleventh fairway have been filled up. Others are in line for liquidation. It all comes out of a proposal made months ago by Bob Jones (with the enthusiastic backing of Dr. John Monteith of the United States Golf Association green sec- tionl). Bobby and Monteith collabo- rated in a series of experiments with crack professionals and duffers in bunker play. They found the pros have no trouble in the bunkers, while the duffers have plenty. They figured that the duffers are the men who pay the bills for golf courses and should get a break by eliminat- ing the cause of their headaches— the bunkers. Grassy Hollows Favored. So Bobby and Monteith proposed the revolutionary scheme of filling up many bunkers and replacing them with grassy hollows, out of which the expert could extricate his ball without embarrassment while the duffer also would have more chance than from the sand. Bunker play, despite the sand wedge, still remains a mysterious art to a lot of golfers, while many experts would Boxing’s Fingers Must Be Printed Promoters, boxers, managers and seconds must be finger- printed by the Metropolitan Police Department before they can promote, appear or work on future boxing cards in the Dis- trict, according to the latest rul- ing by the District Boxing Com- mission. A recent regulation by the Dis- trict Commissioners makes it necessary for every person hold- ing a license in Washington to submit their fingerprints and the Boxing Commission comes under this regulation.

Fitts, Columbia greenkeeper. “So far we have cut out the unnecessary ones which catch some of the best shots of the high handicap players and don’t affect the shots of the experts. The course will be as tough | as ever for the crack player, but | we think the duffer should get a | break.” | Meanwhile C. V. Anderson, prexy | of the Iowa P. G. A, has gone even farther than Wiffy Cox in urging elimination of rough spots to save golf balls. Several days ago Wiffy began a cleaning-up process at Con- gressional seeking to get rid of the spots where a golf ball may be lost, | the idea being to save golf balls.

That means elimination of water hazards | insofar as possible, Monteith told | the greenkeepers at the final ses- | sion of their short course yesterday at the University of Maryland Monteith also advocated cutting of the rough and cleaning up of all| spots where golf balls may be lost. | The clubs also face a possibility that where they buy water from commer- | cial companies or municipalities, | their supply may be reduced. This, of course, does not apply to clubs which have their own water supply, | such as Congressional. | Monteith told the greenkeepers that more than ever in wartime MEET THE CHAMP—Homer Pettigrew, 26-year-old world cham- pion cowboy for 1941, shown here with his favorite mount, says it takes “a real he-man” to win the title. Pettigrew earned his title by piling up more points through prize money than any of E. A. Merkle Co. teammates as all-time record-smashers in the Rhode Island Avenue Businessmen's League were Joe Donahue, & rising star, and Lou Jenkins, the Capital's No. 1 duckpinner. Flashing games of 162, 156 and 134 last night at King Pin to crack his own all-time mark of 442, Jen- kins hardly had time to glory in his new feat when Brown, veteran Government Printing Office roller, posted 457 to top Jenkins’ brilliant effort of 452 by five pins. Pir- ing strings of 165 154 and 129, Brown paved the way for the Merkle quint to mark up all-time team highs of 668 and 1838 in a 2-1 win from Baumgarten pinmen. Jenkins watched another of his all-time league marks tossed into the discard when Donahue fired 185 to salvage the only game Brook- :hnd Post Office won from E. A.
