famous as ball players, thanks to. the
old sandlot leagues Of Washington.
Boys who amused crowds on the anna

how playing before enormous soldier

holding that position in the best of
form for A Battery. Jones. another
Marquette Lacquer, is playing in the

much to do with Schupp's weakening.
In the final game of the world series
play came up which was never given
much consideration, yet such play had
as much to do as anything with de-

NOTES OF GOLF
AND GOLFERS

Confirming the unofficial decision of
Club. telegram was received last
might by The Star from DR.. Walter S.
Harlan, chairman of the green's COM
mittee of the Columbia club. from
Belleair Fla, stating that no profess
sional tournament will be given by the
Columbia Country Club this spring.
Last years event. which was won by
Gilbert Nichols. after close fight with
Tom Kerrigan of the siwanoy Club of
Mount Vernon, New York. the match
being decided only by the final putt,
was to have been made an annual event.
but in line with the general policy of
the United States Golf Association, of
which Dr. Harlan is vice president no
inclination has been shown by club Of
fcials to hold g. similar event this year.
The tourney last year was entirely
ranged by the Columbia greens COM
mittec, which invited the pros to play
in the event. Tommy Kerrigan now is
in the United States Naval Reserve
Force ana Gil Nichols is travelling for
a clothing firm. while Jock Hutchinson.
runner-up in the last tournament. prob
ably will go straight to his summer
club near Chicago.
The annual meeting of the District
of Columbia Golf Association will be
held at the Commercial Club tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock. Notwithstanding
the failure of the U. S. G. A. to- 'sug-
gest'' that no titular sectional tourna-
ment be held this year. it is very prob
able that the officials of the District
association will follow last years prec-
edent and vote to postpone the Dis
trict championship. Sentiment among
ohicials of the District association Is
strongly against resumption Of the title
event and although determined bid
may be made to resume the champion
ship. it is not likely the event will be
held this year. AS matter of fact,
only three or four of the first-fiight
golfers in the District have entered the
active war service of the nation to the |
extent that they would be unable to |
play in the tournament, but this fact |
in itself probably will not be enough to |
bring about a resumption of the event.

Suburban Club, will accompany Jack |
