and F. DeCourcy Faust, playing as part
ners in a foursome against Rudolph
Kaufman and C. l.. Marlatt. on the
Chevy Chase links Thursday afternoon.
resulted in a victory for the former side
by up. There are no players on the
local links that get more genuine pleasure
out of the royal and ancient game THAI
this quartet of ardent golfists. as is evil
denced BY the friendly banter INDUCED
in after they finish the eighteenth hole.

George Sargent of the Chevy Chase
Club has installed golf ball marker
in the caddy house that will prove OF
great use in the salvage OF balls mere
after The contrivance marks the
registered number of each player on
his golf balls If caddy loses a ball
in any reasonabl Bile place he is charged
5 cents for each ball. but receives a
like amount each time he finds and
returns a registered ball. These balls
are returned to the owners. who pay A
fee of 10 cents. half of which sum
goes to the caddy as reward for re-
turning the registered ball. This plan
not only discourages pilfering of balls,
but saves considerable annoyance and
expense to the members. Both the
members and caddies are well pleased
with the new arrangement.

At the Columbia Clubs links Dan
Bealle and George Thornton played
against Charles Allen and J. J. Elem
ing in series Of three foursomes last
week. We could not learn which side
won the event. but 1t was noted that
Allen and Fleming paid for an elab-
dining room of the Columbia Club. in
which the other two were co-feeders
so we draw likely conclusions that
Bealle and Thornton were not the
losers.

that when he is on the links he is no

drive is one of the worst things ever
