INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

The last competitive golf event Of the
local spring season ended yesterday on
the Chevy Chase course. The patriotic
tournament was without doubt an un-
qualified success. judged by the manner
IN whic'. golfers of the middle Atlantic
section entered, but the actual playing
list was small. not being a great deal
larger than that of an invitation event
The number of defaults registered on
Friday. the first day OF the affair. was
not an indication of the manner in
which players who enter a tournament
Of this kind should support the asso-
citation. although the ready response to
the call for donations TO the Red Cross
was particularly gratifying to the men
IN charge. Undoubtedly the great ma
1ority Of the defaults were caused by
unsettled conditions incident to the
war. The Corkran brothers OF Balti-
more had intended to compete. but
short time before the tourney their
company of the Maryland field artillery
Nas called TO active service and thus
the event was deprived of two of it's
chief attractions. Golf is game in
which the dope is so frequently upset
chat the elimination of a favorite is
AothinR to cause great surprise, but
With the two Corkrans in opposite
halves of the draw many local follow
HrD of the game looked forward to q

Pitchers Better Than Expected.

The pitching stan, in spite Of the loss
Of Scott and Faber a. regular perform

instead of being. handicapped by the
crook in his arm last spring, has been
pitching better than ever. and Cicotte
has been SO effective that enemy man

Is something uncanny in his delivery.
Unless all previous experience counts
for nothing, the batsmen on the White
Sox roster will begin hitting UP to form
some day, and 1t is not possible that
Faber and Scott will be out of commits

tack ought not to get any weaker and
the defense ought to improve.
Yet 1t 10 doubtful II the White Sox
at their best can be sufficiently superior
to their opponents to win the pennant

running bases. Most of the defeats they
have suffered this season can be traced
directly to that fault, instead of to do
fects in defense or to superior strength
in the enemy.

game himself for years and knows 1t
