NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS

Actual plans for the playing of the
annual team matches between teams
representing the Washington Golf and
Country Club and the Bannockburn
Golf Club have been ratified by the
chairmen of the golf committees of
both clubs. Basil M. Manly, captain
OF the Bannockburn team, who has
recently joined the Columbia Country
Club, but will play in the team match
es as a member of the Bannockburn
COLI Club, has arranged a series of
five matches to be played, one each
month at alternating clubs. The first
match will be played May rs. the

on June 20. July 81 August 81 and
September 2S. These dates will be
fixed and the matches will be played
regardless of weather conditions. The
date may, however, be changed by
mutual agreement.
Mr.. Manly suggests that a perma-
nent trophy to be bought by the mem
bers of the two teams be arranged
for, to go to the club winning it at
the end of each years competition.
Plans for elimination contests to de-
termine the team members from each
club have been arranged. These plans
contemplate the turning in of three
medal cards by each prospective team
member. making available probably
about sixteen team members from
which the team of twelve will be
picked.
Some fine golf has been played over
the course of the Chevy Chase Club
during the past week. Jack Burgess,

Miss Margaret Noes. late last Tues

Australasia already is preparing for

challenging nations, France, Britain
and Belgium, to play the preliminaries
in Sydney in December. While dis
appointment was expressed that the
United States is not among the chal
lengers, the attitude of the Americans
in remaining out because they be-
lieved they would have an advantage
in not having suffered so materially
in the war as the other countries was
commended
Maj Norman Brookes international
singles champion and surviving hold
er of the Davis trophy. was selected
to pick the Australasian team.
Brookes. it is understood. will try for
a place on the Australasian team. but
experts doubt whether. after four
years of strenuous Red Cross work in
England and Mesopotamia. he can re-
turn to his one-time form. He is well
past forty, and age. likewise, is con-
sidered to be against him. He is now
at Melbourne, his home. A. b. Jones
and Stanley Doust. both of whom are
in the Australian army. and Horace
Rice are thought to be the next best
defenders. Others mentioned are j.
Anderson and Gerald Patterson.
1t is to be hoped that the plan to
develop the National Umpires' Associ-
alton will meet with success. Too
many matches are played in Journeys

youngsters, goes uncorrected and un-

When it is considered that every
match, even in the preliminary
rounds. is the final for one of the
players, it must be seen how i'm
portant is the question of adequate
umpiring. Then. again, frequently
umpires are prevailed upon to act
when they admit that they have
practically no knowledge of the rules.
All this will be done away with if
the umpires' association succeeds in
it's work. To the end Of the educa-
ton of umpires a pamphlet is in pre-
paration which will embody the

dues of any kind. as the entire
expenses will be borne by the
national. association. A meeting will
be held at the time of the national
championship for the election of
officers and the transaction of any
business which may arise.
Generally speaking. the plan is for
a small committee to start with.

John H. Clapp, chairman of the golf

agrees that he never saw the course
of the Chevy Chase Club in better
shape than. it was yesterday after
noon. The greens, although they have
q good deal of clover, as the greens
at all the courses have in the early
spring, are in the best possible shape
and the fairways have never been
better Mr.. Clapp announces that the
program for the annual spring tour
nament of the Chevy Chase Club. to be
held May Is. 16 and II. will be out
within a week. The tournament will
be the usual spring event without
any special features, he said yester-
day.
Entries for the annual spring tour
nament of the Washington Golf and
Country Club are being received in
such volume that the golf committee
believes that tourney will be the
biggest and best ever staged at the
Virginia club. Among the entrants
whose names were turned in yester-
day were John H. Clapp of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club and
the Chevy Chase Club. Isaac T. Mann,
champion of the Chevy Chase Club;
Commander Osborne. John S. Lar
combe. jr., and Harry A. Gillis, all of
the Chevy Chase Club. More than
thirty members of the home club
have signed up for the event, and an
entry list of more than seventy-fiv
is expected from the host organiza-
ton.
1t is possible that within the next
two or three years the course OF the
Washington Golf and Country Club
will have been heightened out to
between 5000 and $500 yards. There
is a lot of land north of the present
fourth tee. which, it is understood,
might be made into at least two fine
long holes. lengthening the course
to a considerable extent. With such
a length, the course of the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club could.
and probably would. be made one of
the most interesting golf coursc7
about the National Capital, as it now
possesses several fine holes, and, with
the addition of two long holes and
the elimination of some now in use.
would prove interesting to any OF
the best players.

I know Of half dozen speed mer-
chants in the American League who
pay practically no attention to bunt-
ing. despite the fact that none of
would be possible for them to help
their team and improve their batting
average at least twenty-five points.
Batters of the Willie Keeler. Jesse
Burkett style are few these days. 1t
was marvellous the way Willie Keeler
any direction he desired. Despite the
fact that all teams knew Keeler was
not hard hitter and were constantly
trying to play for him, he outguessed
them and crossed them for years
enough to enable him usually to be in
side the charmed circle of 800 batters
have often heard Keeler say he spent
more time in batting practice merely
trying to drop the ball within a few
feet Of the plate than meeting it on
the nose.
Cause Of Less Bunting.
Undoubtedly, many will argue that
the scarcity of good bunters is due to
a change in the style of play that has
crept into the game. They will insist
the sacrifice game, or, in other words,
the get run at time" system, is
largely being abandoned in favor of
the hit and run style. They will ar
que that, under such a system of play,
the highly skilled sacrifice hitter is
not nearly SO essential to the success
of club. There may be something
back of such an argument. but know
!, saw game after game lost last sea-
son simply for the lack of we'll
placed bunt.
Jack Barry. former star of the Ath-
letics, and more recently manager of
the Red Sox, is a skilled bunter. Like
wise is Everett Scott of the same
team. In that respect the Boston club
is perhaps better supplied than many
major league teams. Barry and Scott
are so skillful in bunting that pulling
a squeeze play with either of them up
almost certain they will connect with
| the ball if it is within reaching
distance of the plate. and the ball is
almost as certain to be on the
ground, which is most essential, when
the squeeze is to be pulled. The
trouble is. men like Scott and Barry
| are not always up when a bunt is
desired, and often, in a close game, a
| well placed bunt Is the most desirable
/ thing in the world.
Barry Lays EN- Down.
A few years ago, in a game at Bos-
ton. / saw Barry give a remarkable
exhibition Of bunting. He was up
York, and he laid down four beautiful
! bunts. Twice he advanced a runner
| from first to second, enabling him
later to score on q base hit, while on
two other occasions he squeezed the
runner home from third. That per-
formance caused much discussion. 1t
was regarded in some quarters as

/ believe ] am conservative when i
say l saw at least thirty ball games
the lack of a well placed bunt. l have
seen players fail time after time, often
on balls made to order for bunting pur-
poses. Often after making two attempts
and fouling the ball off or missing it en-
tirely the batsman is forced to hit, fore
ing the runner at second and every now
and then hitting into a double play.
Much of the technique of the game is
being lost through the inability OF many
players to bunt with success. Many
reasons could be advanced for the fall
ing off in bunting. but ! think the most
important reason is the love Of the base
hit that is so dear to the heart OF every
athlete. 1t may be possible part of the
trouble is due to the commercialism
that has crept into the pastime. In
measure a players salary Is based on
his ability to hit, and in way on the
batting average that he is able to COM
pile. Many a player has made his en-
ployer raise the ante by pointing to his
swat average for the previous season.
| saw at least n dozen Instances last
summer Of where some star tried the
hit-and-run when the sacrifice was the
only play to have made under the con-
ditions. One might say spirit of in
dividualism has been the reason for the
falling off in bunting. Some players
forget the goal of the team in an effort
to benefit themselves. OF course, all
may be considerable logic in the rea-
SONS advanced and there may not. How
ever, there is no getting away from the
fact that skill in bunting is each year
becoming more of a lost art. / doubt If
the two major leagues can boast of over
twenty men who could be termed past
masters in bunting. l do know that ten
will about cover the skillful bunters in
the American League.
Fast Men Are Better.
When I broke into the American
League practically every fast man in
the organization was far better than
the ordinary bunter. George Stone
led the American League in hitting
one season, largely through his ability
to bunt, and chop the ball. so that it
usually carried to the infielder on a
| high bound. giving Stone a chance to
make use of his great speed in getting
to first. Stone as hitter in no way
or any of the other stars who have
taken a whirl at leading the majors
| in hitting. Stone hit few balls hard.
/ When it wasn't bunt or a Baltimore
/ chop that he was beating out, it was
a Texas Lacquer. just out of the reach
of inflelder or outfelder. At the plate
Stone had a peculiar style. contrary
to the poise maintained by most of
! the great hitters. Stone, however,
speed in getting to first. He was al
ways bunting in batting practice.
| When up in batting practice he did as
much chopping at the ball as bunt-
! ing, so that he was always trying to
! improve his batting in the direction to
which it would most benefit himself
and his team.
