Most Brilliant Season, Last
Ing from April to December.
hENE SARAZEN, worlds cham
M pion golfer, at the instance Of
" The Sporting Herald, brought
The year to a close in a most i'm
ofessive and brilliant manner on
the East Potomac Park golf course
In mid-December exhibition. The
champion produced q great climax
ia Washington's most productive
season. It Is a strange coincidence
that Sarazen should end the season
and that Jock Hutchison, who is
paired with Sarazen on a tour west,
should have opened it.
Jock Hutchison early in April
w6n the Columbia pro tournament
apd started off Washington's
greatest and biggest golfing year.
Johnny Farrell. the young Quaker
Ridge star, was second. Hutchison
scored 295 for 70 holes, which
was better than he did in the
national open here in 1921 and but
phenomenal score.
In the first tournament at the
six strokes worse than Barnes
Washington Golf and Country
Club Donald Woodward, of Co
lumbia. defeated Gerald Russell,
Of England, in the final 2 up. The
Chevy Chase affair was annexed by
the Canadian veteran, George s.
Lyon. while second honors went to
Marshall Whitlatch, Of the home
club.
MADE HISTORY.
Miller B. Stevison made golfing
history at Columbia by annexing
the Wardman trophy. He defeated
Chris J. Dunphy, Of Columbia, quite
hapdily in the final in the rain.
Later Dunphy came into his own
by annexing the District champion
ship at Columbia.
Donald Woodward was runner
up to Tom Scasser, of Maryland,
at Wilmington. in the Middle At.
iahtic championship tournament.
The women's championship was
taken by Mrs. l.. o. Cameron, at
Chevy Chase. The Columbia
Cmntry Club won the Middle At.
lantic team title match played at
Columbia in hollow fashion. !,
Charles N. Agnew, Jr., took the
District public park champions
able after going ~ holes.
The year was marked by some
exceptionally brilliant golf on the
part Of the professionals VINO
played here. Among the visitors
were Hagen. Kirkwood. Sarazen,
Mitchell, Duncan and Farrell
OF chief interest among local
golfers is the fact that several OF
the older clubs were completely
reSrganized during the year and
that several new clubs opened.

Country Club, the Town and Coun.
try Club, a revived Washington
Country Club course. an improved
