possession Of the trophy. The best golfers
of the Chevy Chase club have at last real
lied that there are frst-c,ass players out

two months have been doing telling mis-
sionary work among their own members
There Is no doubt that an extraordinary
team can be organized among the CHEVY
Chase players, II the best players therein
can be made to take a serious view Of the
present situation. but overcontidence has to
be overcome before a winning team can
be whipped into shape. Three or four of
the best golfers in the Chevy Chase club

ed into the sport with zeal that will
stand opposition and as a result every

tanned a good lead. and every man on the
team has been working like a beaver during
the summer months to improve his standard
of play so as to maintain this prestige.

the match who did not go to Hot Springs,
