INTERESTING GOLF NOTES FROM THE
LOCAL CLUBS.

The matter brought up a great deal of
discuss on and was even considered by
the District Of Columbia Association
soon after it was organized. It had
been taken up informally with the as
sociation and the local golf clubs have
reason TO believe that they will be
treated differently on the 1915 list. The
fact that DR.. Walter Harlan has been
nominated and undoubtedly will be
elected to the executive committee will
give Washington a representa- tive
something it has never had before
and this, of course, means that Wash
ington's interests will be looked out
for much better than in the past.
In addition to the names of those
sent in to the y. S. G. A. by the loca
clubs last year. both Chevy Chase and
Columbia expect to submit an extra
name this year. The former will name
]. T. Bishop. one OF its new members
Bishop, who is rated at four strokes,
was for two years a member of the
Yale intercollegiate team Columbia
will send in Capt. George P. James
name. He has improved a great deal in
the past year, and now stands mighty
close to the top in the Columbia ranks.
Because many of its players were un-
able to compete in the qualiflcat ton
round of the "harvest-home" event, the

The United States Golf Association
has started to work on Its hanoieap
list for 1915 and following its usual
custom has sent out blanks TO De hiieo
in by the officials of all of the CLUBS
under its control. On these blanks are
to be given the records OF every play
er whose game in the opinion OF the
green committee of his club Is good
enough to entitle him to rating Oh
five strokes and under. These blanks
were received by both Chevy Chase
and Columbia a day or so ago and the
committees at these clubs are now get
ting up the necessary data. which must
be in the hands of the executive COM
mittee of the association by December
Is. The manner in which Washington
golfers were treated on the 1914 list
Is a thorn in the side of the Whoie
local contingent. Although dozen OF
their players were considered OF ma,
tionaI handicap caliber by the local
clubs and their records were OF the
best. but two were given ratings oy
the national body-Walter Tuckerman
of Chevy Chase and John Z. DaVldSon
of Columbia. When the list was given
out, however. provision was maze tnat
a player who thought he was entitled
to a rating could send in three prop
erly attested rounds over his nome
course and if the average compared
favorably with par for that course ne
would be given handicap. and by
complying with this rule Allan Lard
and w. S. Reyburn. both of Chevy
Chase, had their names added to the
list later. In 1913 six strokes was the
maximum handicap and the following
local names appeared on the list: wal
ter r. Tuckerman, Chevy Chase. four
strokes, and Samuel Dalzell. Chevy
Chase; John c. Davidson, Columbia: f.
H. Ellis. Chevy Chase: George G. Laf-
ferty. Chevy Chase; Walter 5. Haroan
Columbia: Lee L. Harlan. Columbia; j;
Allan Lard. Chevy Chase; Ormsby Nc
Cannon, Chevy Chase; A. S. Mattingly,
Columbia: Reeve Lewis, Chevy Chase:
Morven Thompson. Chevy Chase, and
Wolcott Tuckerman. Chevy Cnase. ait
rated at six strokes. When the data on
which to base the 1914 ratings was
called for practically all of the names
given above were sent in and the Sc
lection of but two and the rejection of
all of the others was something no one
could understand. 1t was generally
conceded that Walter Tuckerman's
name should head the local contingent
and 1t also was agreed that Davidson
should be on the list, but it was con-
tended that several others also should
have been named and that the execu-
tive committee was not justified In re-
jecting the others without explanation.

Speaking of the fall crew work at

The Cleveland club of the American

being several batting slumps. One of
the severest slumps that the club
bumped into happened during the first
week in June. 1t is the exception for a
team to be let down without a hit in
nine innings during the entire season,
but the Cleveland club narrowly es-
| capped that fate three times inside of
five days. May 81 Joe Benz of the Chi

GOOD JOCKEYS LACKING.
Few Real Capable Riders in This

NEW YORK, November 21.-That this
country is sadly in need Of good jock
eys is made apparent by glance over
the records for the year up to and in
Guiding October %. During that time
there have been 301 jockeys who have
ridden at least one winner. which in
cludes their mounts in Canada and
Mexico. Out of this number there are
but few who can come under the head
Of even good riders, not more than four
or, at most. five.
From a percentage standpoint Borel
heads the list by a goodly margin, hav-
ing ridden twenty-five winners out of
ffty-five mounts. This gives. him a
percentage of 40. His nearest op-
ponent Is Motter, with a percentage
Of .27. He rode fifteen winners out of
fifty-five attempts. These two are fol-
lowed by Butwell, O'Brien and Nc

GOLFING HINTS.
BY ASTRAIGHT DRIVE,

SPEED AND SNAP.-without
any question the average player
could add many yards to all his
shots if he could acquire an
ability of getting greater speed
and snap into the stroke just as
the ball is reached. If you will
watch an expert you will notice
how nicely he times the hit.
Many players take the, club
back SO quickly that they fairly
Jerk it back from the ball, throw
ing the whole stroke out of the
true arc and in many cases get
ting more speed into the back
stroke than the forward one,
which is the part of the stroke
that counts for distance.
The best attempted description
l have ever seen of the golfing
stroke pictures the back swing
as the slow winding of a spring,
and the down stroke as starting
like pulling down on a bell rope
with greatest speed just as the
ball is reached.
