year than ever before Each day
seems to bring to the game more
IL enthusiasts. Without disparage-
ment to the other organizations, it
say be said that Chevy Chase and
the Columbia Golf Clubs possess nearly all
of the crack golfers OF the city. In the
Bannoekburn and Washington Golf Clubs
the members are noted for their devotion
to the game as recreation, but they have
not achieved that skiu attained In the other
clubs But in all of the organizations can
be found the sound business men of the
city-the brain of the private walks of
life in the capital.
The Chevy Chase Club will soon hold its
annual spring tournament on the course
at Chevy Chase, Nd. 1t will begin next
Thursday and close Saturday. AS usual 1t
viii he oien to the members of clubs affil-
lated with the United States Golf Associa-
ticn and such other players may be

be the most successful ever held by the
club. The recent contest for the Presidents
cup at the Chevy Chase Club was excellent

cap cup competition will be played on May
-, and may begin any hour after 10 cock,
but must be finished by ESQ O'Clock.
The Columbia Golf Club will not hold It's
spring tournament until the first of June,
owing to the fact that the players Of the
club will be engaged in the tournaments
of the Chevy Chase and Baltimore Coun-
Columbia Club to- hold it's tournament
earlier. On Memorial day the usual hardf-
cap play will doubtless take place.
The work of arranging fer tournament
by the Banncckburn Golf Club, to begin
May 30, has been about completed, and 1t
is expected TO be a most success u one.
The club course is located south of Chevy
Chase Circle. The members of the Wash
ington Golf Club viii hardly be allie to
hold tournament this spring. Their course
near Rossyn. Va, has been cut up into
subdivision. and is being rapidly sold as
lots. Thus 1t became necessary for the
club to look about for a plot of land suit
able for laying out a course. 1t is consid-
cred hardly probable that land for course
will be found in time to enable the members
to have a course laid cut in time for a
tournament this spring.
