Request.

As this will be a very busy week
and the streets viii be crowded want
to make the following request:
That all automobile owners IN
town keep their cars off OF Main
street as nearly as possible. This
will give more room for our friends
from the country whom we are al
ways glad to have and at the same
time decrease the danger Of accidents.
Would also like to call attention OF
our people to the danger OF Fire
Works. Don't use them and don't al
low any one else to use them around
your premises.
Respectfully,
q. F. WRIGHT,
Mayor.

Good Christmas Motto.

peace on earth, and good
will to men," is the Christmas
motto, and the Christmas spirit
should ring in our hearts and
find a kindly expression in acts
and words. What a joyful thing
for the world it would be if the
Christmas spirit of peace and
good will could abide with US
all every day Of the year. And
what a beautiful place this
world would be to live in. And
it might be so if each one of US
would resolve in our hearts that
peace and good will should be
our motto every day, and that
we, individually, would do our
best to make the Christmas
spirit last all the year round.

Hard Hole to Play.

The seventh is one of the hardest, al
though not the best Two hundred
yards from the tee is a hill on which
the player must place his ball II he
would get a glimpse of thegreen, mes
Ting like an emerald in its circle of
amber hued traps. The pitch must be
played high and with a lot of drag to
hold the green. A run-up may be
utilized but even though the ground
slopes toward the hole 1t is dangerous
to attempt 1t, as the green is only open
from the right and if the opening is
missed the bunker club probably will
have to be brought forth.
No is the longest hole. measuring
4e7 yards from the tee near the club
house to the green. Fifty yards from
the tee a bunker must be carried and
the field of play narrows as the green
is neared, which is in a nook of the
woods. The par of is not an easy
matter to obtain. The finishing hole is
the good length of $40 yards, with
bunker to be carried on the second shot
to sloping green guarded by deep
sand traps on the sides.

deep bunker which extends across
the width of the fairway. The green is
not trapped, but back of it are trees,
and the pitch must be just right to
register the coveted par 4 on this
hole of 3o7 yards.
The fourth is the best on the course.
1t is distanced at 391 yards, and from
tee to green the fairway is lined with
trees. Two hundred and seventy yards
from the tee there is a dip in the
fairway, at the bottom of which there
are oleverly placed bunkeEs. The play
er must use his discretion on his Sec
ond shot or he will find himself in
trouble here The green. which slopes
away from the player, has woods on
three sides.

1855 yards from tee to green and is
blind. though if the ball carries the hill
it can scarcely be anywhere but on the
green. Stretching almost from the tee
to the top of the hill is deep formid-
able sand bunker, one of the most
feared about Washington. On either
side are deep sand pits.

Fox-Whitaker Contest Has
Caused Much Comment
in Local Circles.
BIG MATCHES LACKING
IN FINANCIAL BACKING
Kupchick- Bernstein and MARSHALL
Janowski Contests Seem to Be
Things of Future.

Not for many a long day have local
chess fans been so wrought up over
game as they are over the Fox-Whit-
aker contest published in this column
last Sunday. The following letter
brings up a point which should have
been covered by a note in the original
annexation Of tho game. Mr.. Ormerods
inquiry serves to illustrate still more
clearly the beautiful and accurate play
of both masters in this truly remark
able contest:
Chess Editor. Washington Star:
Dear Sir: After a close study Of the
very interesting x-Whitaker game
appearing in todays Sunday Star II
looks to me as though Mr. Fox over
looked an opportunity to win compare
lively early in the contest
If on his twenty-fourth move instead
of exchanging rocks he had played
"a Q-Q6, threatening QxKR mate. he
would have had black in well-ntgh
helpless position. At best white would
think you will agree would have meant
a defeat for Mr.. Whitaker 1t Is my
opinion and that of several others that
blacks best reply is a.. QR-KB..
White would then play 25 B-K6. and
even though black brought his queen
into play I do not see how he could
avoid immediate disaster.
In view Of the prominence you have
given this game and the discussion
this move has ccasioned ] would APP
preciate a personal reply as to the
merits of "a Q-Q6, in case you cannot
find room to discuss 1t in next Sundays
Star.
Thanking you for any attention you
can give this 1 am, most sincerely,
LEONARD ORMEROD,
National Press Club.
There has been little of Importance
In chess during the past week, either
locally or in New York. Kupchick and
Bernstein seem to have forgotten all
about their match for the state title,
and the proposed match between Mar
shall and Janowski still lacks the finan-
cial assistance deemed necessary by
the masters.
Position after Whites Gath move IS
suggested by Mr.. Ormerod:

InquisitiOe Fans.

Sporting Editor Star:
Kindly answer in the Inquisitive Fans
section of the Sunday sporting pages
how to work out the heavy sluggers'
averages.
For example, If man had the follow
ing record: At bat. 8; hits. 3; two-base
hits, 1; three-base hits, /: total bases,
6, what would his average be. six
eighths or $50, or do you figure six
bases out of a possible twelve on the
hits, equaling 500? S. c. c.
An extra base hit does not affect a
players batting average. For instance.
Ave home runs would not be worth any
more in the official averages than five
singles.

total number of games played in the

ans District championship. as she is a
fine player and was once runner-up in
the woman's national championship.
Miss Barney Of Chevy Chase is one
of the most nonchalant of players. The
way in which she steps up to the ball
and sweeps 1t away is a delight after
watching the tedious addresses of
some players. She scores quite low,
too. 1t is reported that she has had a
81 on the Chevy Chase course. some
thing many a man would give two
years of his life to accomplish.
The woman's championship of the

been made.

mittee last year. There are several
others, however. who can afford the
champion good battle.
The course, having been in existence
for more than fifteen years, possesses
fine turf, and the greens are excellent.
There are no weak holes in the whole
nine, but 1t is possible that the old
style of bunkering might be altered a
little to advantage
The sixth hole is good one from
point of distance. but the old cross
bunker is perhaps slightly archaic.
1t is evident that the constant con-
,flict between the poorer players of a
club and the low handicap men enters
here. The scratch men always desire
to play over a course of championship
caliber, while if the links were trapped
to their wishes the poorer players
would be constantly sounding the dread
slogan. 'Caddie, bring me a niblick."
Recently some new hazards have been
constructed, and except for these late

Columbia Golf Club.

The Washington Suburban Club. sit

golf clubs within the limits of the Dis

clubhouse formerly were used by the
members of tho Columbia Golf Club.
which, changed to the Columbia Coun-

Chase The members Of the Columbia
Golf Club. not finding the limited avail
able space on Georgia avenue suited to
their needs, left the old location and
the grounds were leased by a number
of Washington business men. who real
lied the advantages and benefits of
golf.
The clubhouse has a large tower on
the northwest corner. giving II some
what the appearance Of a castle. On
the north side wide porch offers q
pleasant view over the golf course,
with the first and ninth greens in sight
of well kept tennis courts invite the
devotees of that game and as the men,
bers of the club are tennis enthusiasts
the courts are very busy. The tennis
champion is Aubrey Fisher. who de-
feated Milton King in close match.
The club is in its fourth year and has
a steadily growing. enthusiastic mem
bership. Social activities are a promi-
nent feature of this organization and
many club dinners and dances. in addi-
ton to private parties, are given.
But golf is the engrossing subject.
and among the members of this club
will be found great enthusiasm for
the game and a constant desire to i'm
prove the play. Considering the fact
that most of the golf enthusiasts had
not played the game five years ago. this
seems quite remarkable.
