Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

Yesterday saw the last OF the spring
golf tournaments when the first an
nual event of the Washington Country
Club was brought to an end. From
now on until fall the home and home
be all that will break the monotony
OF the long stretch through the sum-
mer months. Last month Chevy Chase
began holding closed events every Sat
urday afternoon and it will probably
continue this plan throughout the
year. Last year Columbia and the
Washington Country Club. had regular
weekly or monthly tournaments, while
Bannockburn usually had an event OF
some kind at short intervals. 1t is
understood that plans are now being
made by the golf committees of each of
these clubs and that as many events
will be held as the players want pro-
vided enough of them enter.
Washington is one of the few cities
In the United States which can boast
of two professionals who have held
the national open championship title,
and 1t is also one of the few cities
In the country which does not en-
courage professional matches. E. Ray,
the present open champion Of Great
Britain. and Harry Vardon. who has
held the title five times. are coming to
this country in August to participate
in the American open championships
and are now making up schedule for
matches with professionals in various
sections, match already having been
arranged with the Nichols brothers in
Philadelphia. From several sources
has come the suggestion that local
golfers are overlooking a "bet' in not
bringing this pair to Washington and
matching them up with George Sar-
gent and Fred Mcleod. A match of
this kind would not only be interest
ing. but instructive, and as the Brit
ish pair will be as near here as
Philadelphia it would probably not cost
much.
The results of the Washington Coun-
try Club tournament, which closed yes
terday, proved to be no exception to
the rule followed by the two previous
local events in that in nearly every
case the player who did not look to
have chance turned out to be the
winner. From the very first, when
DIR. George T.. Freeman of Chevy Chase
won the qualification round. until the
end, upsets occurred with clocklike
regularity. DIR. Freeman is Q good
player, but there were many In the

PHILADELPHIA, June 14-More de-

his introduction into base ball were
brought out when he took a run down to
Woonsocket with Charley Marsden. the
man who found him driving a hack in a
livery stable back in 1894 at Woonsocket.
Marsden gave the full story of that dis
covery before he and Larry left.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June 14.-Real-

chances that are against the Athletics

race when the midsummer point is reach

Plank, are reinforced, Connie Mack is
now putting all his time and entire

Ira Thomas will hardly catch another

the young pitchers in the preparatory
stunts, particularly Bush and Wyckoff.
Connie has now at least five young pitch

better ones, but he seemed to be right
on top of his game and continued his
good work In match play, too. Among
those who were eliminated in the first
or second round and who were picked
to do much better may be mentioned
Alpheus Winter. John C. Davidson, c..
c. Van Leer, DR.. Lee Harlan, A. S.
Mattingly and E. Lodge Hill. The fact
that the Washington club course is
now In its infancy and that the putting
greens are not yet perfect may account
for some Of the upsets noted. The
tournament was very successful one
and the management ran it off with
out single hitch.
That plan of the Chevy Chase Club
in requiring all entrants in the closed
handicap events held so frequently to
put in their cards or have their handi-
cap cut two strokes is proving to be
a wonderful help to the greens COM
mittee and already several changes
have been made in the handicaps. In
this way the committee gets a good
line on the kind of golf the player is
putting up and it is expected that by
the end OF the summer the handicaps
at Chevy Chase will be as near per-
feet as it is possible to make them.
Plans are being made for a round
robin tournament at the Bannockburn
Golf Club, open to members. 1t will
probably be started this week.
The "home-and- home" matches open
to clubs in the Middle Atlantic Asso-
citation will start next Saturday, the
first local match being between Ban
nockburn and the Country Club of Vir-
ginia. This will be played at Column

famous Rice gambit the interest OF

a party Of chess players including a
number from Princeton University.

Connie has a number of school and col
lege pitchers working every morning,
but he-will not divulse the names of these
men, and nobody has been found who
will tell who they are. If they prove
good enough they will turn professional
and be taken with the team for a further
try-out.
The entire morning practice in the
present home stand with the western
clubs is being devoted to batting against
the young pitchers. They are being given
as much work as though they were TAX
ing their regular turns in the box at this
stage. This means that the brunt Of the
actual work is falling on Plank and
Bender. but it Is expected that one or
more young pitchers will be ripe by the
time the team departs on the next trip.
Connie feels sure that the team will win
the American League pennant, but he
does not want to be caught short of
pitchers for a worlds series. Hence the
school for pitchers every morning.

ball critics. Toward the end of the
year 1t did not go as well as it might be-

work of the last few games did not
detract, to any extent from the really
brilliant record.
M. A. c. Had Good Year.
Out at the Maryland Agricultural
college, considered from all angles,
what is probably the best Year in
athletics the college has ever had is
ending. The base ball. track and foot
ball teams were much above the av-
erage standard. and basket ball re-
ceived a fair share Of success While
the lacrosse team did not have a num-
Der Of victories to its credit consider
ing the caliber of the teams played, it
did about as we'll as could be expected.
The Aggies had a foot ball team that
have represented the school. The per-
centage of wins was much higher than
in any previous year, eight games
being played with only one loss. The
base ball team had higher percentage
than any other in the section. playing
sixteen games and winning twelve.
The relay team won two dual races
during the indoor season that practi-
cally gave 1t the Maryland state cham
and the basket ball five split
even on the number of games won and
lost.
Gallaudet's Capable Eleven.
Gallaudet had one of the most cap
able foot ball teams 1t has ever turned
out. There has hardly been a time in
the history of the Buff and Blue school
when a pluckier and more capable lot
of boys made up an eleven which rep
resented the institution. The team did
not win any great percentage of Its
games, but it did make a showing
against some of the higher class aE-
gregations that was remarkable. A
versatile style of play was shown.
and 1t was really a successful season.
at times, but in the majority OF it's
contests former standards were up
held. The relay four won the race at
the Maryland Agricultural College meet
for the championship OF MARYLAND and
the District of Columbia. The basket
ball five also did some creditable play
ing.
Among the most capable athletes
who performed on the several teams

athletics. and some of them did excel

around whom the athletic teams were
built. and to whom the greater part
of the credit for the successful efforts
should be given.
