Wonderful card brought out a big
crowd this afternon. The sun and
the weather did their best to make
everything harmonious and the la
dies came out attired in their very
daintiest.

occasion when he cantered home
to victory in the opening event.
Carpenter was a well known IA
vofite and had lived up to his rep.

1T is a fact generally acknowl-
edged In local golf circles that the
Columbia Country Club has the
sportiest course In or about the
city. But 1923 win see a new rival
in the field, for the Washington
Golf and Country Club has in pro-
cess of construction a course which
for hazards. natural and artificial.
will take considerable beating.
Plans for the new Washington
course show an abundance of real
golfing holes, such as will delight
the lover Of the game, and will
cause the trembling novice to cape
with astonishment The abundance
OF traps which await the hook. the
slice or the topped drive is enough
to cause even the most confident to
stop and ponder.
OF the present eighteen holes, not
one will escape modification, though
the first two will remain practically
intact and the eighteenth hole will
be only slightly altered.
Some years ago the club pur-
chased about Sc acres of land lying
to the northeast OF the present
course, extending from the present
fourth tee TO the old military road.
Under the eagle eye Of Green's
keeper c. A. Beach. this territory is
rapidly taking on the appearance Of
p golf pasture.
Altogether. five new holes. the
fourth. fifth, sixth. seventh and
eighth, are in process Of construc-
ton here. The ground has been
cleared. the new greens have been
laid out, and by next year the new
area should be ready for play.
New Course Longer.
The new course is some 1875
wards longer than the old one. Fig

Association rules, its par VIII be az.

Drives and Puts

NE" YORK, Aug. 13.-Tom Nc
Namara's ball with which he got a
one at the thirteenth hole of 1872
yards in the Metropolitan open at
Siwanoy never made another shot
for him. One of his intimate
friends who was in the gallery re-
duested possession OF 1t. and Tom
tossed IT to him. Me and Tom goes
to all the fights together" was the
way he explained his hold on Mack
to spectators near him.
Because ]. S. worthington han
pened to win the West Chester
County title at the Hudson River
Country Club in Y,Alkers. upstate
newspapers are announcing him as
the Hudson River district title
holder. The last named fixture is
the older by fully a dozen years.
William c. Fownes, tr., of Pitts
ourgh, who captained the American
amateur team abroad, is the new
Western Pennsylvania open cham
pion, succeeding Emil Loeffler, who
was in the van of home breds at
the national opening. Although a
star for twenty-five years this is
Fownes' first open title. He would
have played in the national open
but for pressure of business.
Events preliminary to the ma
tional amateur championship at st.
Louis are certain to cause trouble
some conflict with the dates of the
annual seniors four-day handicap
at Apawamis. The 1000 miles be-
tween to be travelled only adds to
the pinch.
In view of the present promin-
ence Of Bob Macdonald, Jock
Hutchison and Chick Evans it is
worth while recalling that Walter
Hagen. during the war, at a benefit
exhibition match, beat the best ball
Of all three over the Bob O. Link
Clubs course in Chicago, now Mac
Donald's home green. Hagen paired
with Evans, made a new record for
the stretch despite wind and won by
and s. Evans not getting in on a
single hole.
Joseph 1. Crawford. the new
amateur champion of Western
Pennsylvania, averaged eight
strokes under As throughout the re-
cent tournament of the Stanton
Heights Club. of Pittsburgh, and
broke all records with a 66 in the
qualifying round. He expects to en-
Ter the national amateur, but Is eo-
ing at such a pace he may pass the
top of his game before that fixture
starts.
Max H. Behr, former New JERSEY
title holder, has located in Cali
fornia and hung out his shingle as
golf course architect.
More holes have been made in one
stroke within a month the country
over than were ever reported be-
fore In corresponding period. The
world-w wide drought having baked
courses. balls got an unprecedented
run and roll. Consequently, even
the infants are dropping 'em in.
day or two ago Sid Gibbons. aged
l6. locker room attendant at Wheat
ley Hills. went over to the Nassau
Club and popped in a one at the
fourth hole of 146 yards. He used
a mashie niblick and pitched on the
green. The ball almost stopped a
foot from the. pin, but just man
aged to trickle in.

shorter than Columbia
A detailed description crow,
wearisome, but here are a few hirh
spots picked At random from IN,
plans Of the new course:
Take the new third, for in,t.,c.
nodincation OF the old third, with
the tee built slightly TO the north
west OF the old one. and the green
moved Few yards 70 the west This
hole VIII oner the most dangerous
kIind OF natural hazard in theshap,
OF creek which crosses the fair
way a short distance in front Of
the tee and bounds the fairway on
the right all the way up TO the
green.
Then there Is the new fourth

area, which IS Of the dog-Ier ysrf-
ETY. and is bounded by woods on
either side. Abou l50 yards Cr,.-r

or fully twV-thirds OF the fsirwsy.
There's trouble everywhere y,,t.
look.
The fifth Is one Of thoses hor,
dangerous affairs. 4 hooked shot
viii travel out of bounds on the
left. IL IL doesn't find a Io-yard sand
pit which extends for three-quar-
ters nj the ~, across the fairuav
about $50 yards from the tee, II
your pitch TO the terraced green
isn't accurate. the ball will either
land in the shallow sand trap which
guards il on three sides, or will TOP
pie over into the rough mounds and
pits which bring up the rear.
Sixth Green DIneuIt.
The sixth green offers another OBJ
stacle to a faulty approach. Built
on an eminence, IL looks down on
the folrth hole and If the min is
overshot. like as not the ball will
go bounding down the hill into the
fourth fairway. And then you're
in fine mess.
The eleventh is one Of the sporti-
est OF the lot. Down hill all the
way a brook crosses the fairway
just in front Of the green. The green
itself is built on the general lines
VI htileOldnu- Sano-plts on the
right. sand-pits in back. and rough
all around. To reach the green, you
must pitch almost dead TO the pin
Nearly every hole has some kind
Of obstacle crossing the fairway
On the thirteenth. three sand pits
and three mounds block the pas
sage about $50 yards from the tee
on the fourteenth. a brook does the
work just in front of the green
On the fifteenth. not satisfied with
the natural water hazards offered
they are going 20 build a sand pit
nearly all the way across the fair
way. not as yards from the green.
The seventeenth is another tough
one. OF the dog-lsg variety. Il is
/ down grade all the way. crossed
diagOnally by the ever present
creek 25o yards from the tee. The
green. as usual. is amply protected
| by pits to the left and in front
These are just a few Of the din
culties which must be met. In gen.
eral, the new course will be longer
the greens will be better protected
and the abundance of traps will
make IL a thorough test of golf.
