Golf enjoyed it's best year since
introduced here. The national open
tournament at Columbia in July
aroused much interest among Wash
ingtonians. who before had consider
ed the game but lightly, and the
opening of the new public links in
Potomac Park afforded an opportunity
for many to take up the sport. The
municipal course has accommodated
an average of 800 players daily. At
times more than 900 have gone over
the links in one day.
The national event, of course. was
the feature of the golfing year. About
as excellent a field as ever participat-
ed in this fixture entered for the
championship and generally good play
resulted. Jim Barnes. the lanky
Pelham professional, with score of
2S9 for the seventy-two holes, carried
off the honors. Freddie Mcleod,
Columbia pro. and Walter Hagen of
New York. tied at 29S, were second,
while Chick Evans of Chicago, next
in line with 502, was the leader of
the amateurs.
Several of the clubs conducted sue
cessful invitation tournaments and
the District championships were well
contested by sizeable fields. Guy M.
Standifer of Columbia Country Club
won the mems title over the Chevy
Chase course. Mrs. T. c. Knkaid of
Chevy Chase. playing over the Column
bia links, earned the women's cham
pionship for the second successive
time.

bridge was another brilliant achieve
ment for America. The Britons won
only two events out of ten against
Yale and Harvard at the Cambridge
stadium last July. The invaders were
highly touted, and justly so. for they
had performed wonderfully in the
Olympic games. but our collegians
rose to heights never before attained
and swamped their opponents.
An indication of these sudden
boys flashed is evidenced by the fact
that Ned" Gourdin, the Jacksonville.
Fla. negro, who represented Harvard,
clipped more than three inches from
the world record for the running
broad jump in competition against the
| our chances to beat the Britons. but
it brought another record to America,
