Allan Lard, the Chevy Chase veteran,
has been going at top form and many
look for him to win the District cham
plonShip event next week. His work in
recent tournaments has been very SEN
Sational and he has never shown to
better effect than of late. In the only
three events in which he entered this
year he has won the qualification round
once, tied for il once and reached the
semi-finals. where he was eliminated
by no less parsonage than b. Warren
Corkran.
Bannockburn is now planning its
June tournament, which will be quite
novel one The representatives from
each state who are members of the
club will play among themselves ana
decide who is the best man, and then
the various state champions will fight
it out for the national championship"
of the club. The District is in quite
majority and stands an excellent
chance of furnishing the winner.
The bonds of friendship between the
Chevy Chase and Columbia clubs were
drawn closer together the past week,
when the green committee of the lat
ter organization thoughtfully extended
the courtesies of the club to Chevy
Chase members while their tournament
was in progress, and many accepted.
During tournament days private
matches. of course, could not be play
ed and had it not been for Columbia,
the Chevy Chase players who were not
in the tournament would have been
forced to remain idle Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. AS it was, most of
them took advantage of Columbia's
kind offer and were not affected by

The Washington Suburban Club is
planning to hold series of monthly
events for its members beginning next
month and continuing throughout the
year. Details have not yet been work
ed out, but the green committee Is now
figuring on the best plan and expects to
make an announcement within the next
week or so.
A great deal is being made by the
New York. golf experts over the work
of National Open Champion Walter C.
Hagen in the recent Greenwich. Conn,
tournament, when he made the twelfth
hole GAO yards) in two strokes and
world record is claimed for him.
While this score is exceptional and
Hagen deserves a great deal of credit,
it is not equal to the work of Fred Nc
Leod, the Columbia professional. who
made the twelfth hole on the local
course in two last year. This hole is
447 yards, par five. Mac" made this re-
markable score in a match with Repre-
sentative J. J. Fitzgerald and in the
presence of Alpheus Winter and several
others. who were on the course at the
time. George Sargent of Chevy Chase
has done almost as well. as he has
Chevy Chase course in the same. num-
ber of strokes.

all of the local clubs for the holiday
events on Decoration day. Chevy Chase
expects to hold matches in both morning
and afternoon-probabl an eighteen
hole match against par in the morning
and metal play event in the after
noon. Columbia is planning eighteen
hole matches against par in both morn
ing and afternoon. Washington Coun-
try Club expects to hold a miniature
turnament at nine holes, with the
course split in half SO that two nine
hole sets can be made from it. Ban
