The Washington Suburban Club now

connection with the vacancy now ex-
listing at that club. and it is proba BILE
that a selection will be made within
the next ten days. The green commit
tee held a special meeting Friday to
take up this matter, but nothing def
mite was done.
An interesting foursome was played
over the Bannockburn course last Sal
urday, when Richard Beattfe and Ben
Hunt attempted to beat the Dempsey
brothers. The match ended all even,
Hunt and Tom Dempsey doing the best
work for their respective sides, each
having a medal count of 50. which was
exceptionally good considering condi-

throughout the match. all four playing
close to midseason form.

the Columbia Country Club course were
not closed for day or two at inter-
walls throughout the winter: The green
committee has authority to close the
course at any time when. in its opin-
ion. it might be damaged If played on.
and on this authority the course was
closed for the first time this winter
and Sunday a week ago. 1t
has been suggested that in case of
doubt it would pay members to phone
the club and make sure that the course
was open before taking the rather long
trip out there.

Plank was not keen to return to st.

and had insisted that it be recognized

In connection with Plank's application
it developed that the Boston and Gin
