The return of cool weather brings to
mind the splendid days of early spring.
when all the local golfers are prepar-
ing for the tournament season and all
are vying with each other for the low
est score. This fall the tournament
season takes on a saddened air. The
shadow of war hangs over golf as over
all other branches of sports. Not only
have many of the golfers of the Dis
trict volunteered their services to the
country. but the cancellation OF all the
major tournaments Of the year, with the
consequent cessation of the minor events
has had its effect. Golfers this fall do
not appear to be as keen as they were a
year ago. yet fall is the most beautiful
season of the year for the game.
All the players who have been away will
return this month. but missing from the

INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

the Department of Agriculture to de-
wise a portable ice box for use during
the growing period of the weed. Which
when mounted wheels and filled
with ice was wheeled over the young
crab grass roots theoretically killing
them. 1t was found that the expense
and labor of using such device was
too great TO justify the end reached.
There never has been an efficient
method of dealing with crab grass
found other than the usual one of re-
moving it by the roots. In that case IT
comes up again the next year. The re-
moval of the roots is apt to strip the
sod of grass entirely and in the cases
of many of the local greens this has
been the case, bare patches appearing
on a great number of the putting sur
faces. These are now sprouting new
grass and will be as good as ever
within short time
The addition of Cameron B. Buxton,
champion of the city of Philadelphia.
to the ranks of local golfers fills the
gap left by the detection of Walter X.
Tuckerman. who has not played COM
petitive golf for over a year. OF course.
Buxton will not play in any tourna-
ments here. as therS~will not be any,

somewhat in doubt, just as in other
