JOHN DAVIDSON BEST GOLFER
IN WASHINGTON CLUB TOURNEY
Defeats Mattingly in Finals 49, Home Club Wins
Majority Of Przes-Johnston Outplays Eynon
for Qualification, First Trophy

Top honOrs in the annual spring tour
nament of the Washington Country Club
went to John c. Davidson this year when
he won in the final round of the first six
teen yesterday afternoon, at which time
the event was brought to close. David
son was not the only home player to win.
as the club captured more prizes than
any other club, W. NJ Gilbert winning the
third sixteen. J. Holt Wright taking
first place in the fourth and George E.
Truett and w. E. Seyboth coming out
ahead in the first and fourth sixteens re-
spectively. of the consultations. Columbia,
in addition to furnishing the runner-up
in the first fight in A. S. Mattingly, also
scored heavily in the handicap event,
Daniel X. Jackson winning low gross
score prize and H. H. Allen turning in
the best net score. John H. Clapp and
E. H. Lotus. both of Chevy Chase. won
the second and third siXteens, respec-
lively, while Gus Worthington, winner of
the consultations In the second flight, rep
resented Bannockburn From the above
it can be seen that honors were very web
divided up.
A brisk wind swept over the course
yesterday and it was largely responsible
for many Of the comparatively high
scores MADE One Oh the most popular
events on yesterdays program was the
eighteen-hole handicap match, medal
play, open to those not competing at
match play. For q long time it looked
as if Daniel X. jackson of Columbia
would win both the low net and low
gross score prizes. as his score of IS 500
was best until almost the last minute.
when several better net scores were
turned in. His gross score was not bet
tered. however. and he duplicated his
performance of last year and carried
home the gross score prize. H. II. Allen.
also of Columbia. had the low net score.

pn" Of the most important things in
tennis is to Keep the eye on the bali.
Nine players out of ten lose sight of a
ball shortly after it crosses the net Ii
IS essential 10 watch the bail until il
comes in contact with the racquet. Most
players. when they should he watching
the ball. are either looking at their OPP
ponent or al the spot on their opponent $
court where they wish to place the ball.
The player who takes his eye off the ball
If only for the fraction of a second. may
in that short time miss the opportunity
for hitting the ball clean. i.e in the cen
Ter of the racquet This applies to every
shot in tennis
II is an excellent thing while playing
to repeat to ones self over and over
again: Eye on the ball Fly on the
ball
MANY voiley and smash goes out of
court because the racquet has turned in
the hand. The racquet turns because
the ball has not met the center of the
racquet. Even a tighter grip will not
prevent this. This difficulty is obviated
by keeping the eye on the ball Watch
YOUR ball and you are bound TO judge il
right. BY hurrying and losing sight of
the ball you are bound to misiudge il.
Keeping the eye on the ball does not
mean merely TO watch the ball. but to
reckon its flight. also TO judge the speed
and depth of the ball. BY doing this
the player can tell beforehand where the
ball is going to drop in court
