WEST VIRGINIA GRDMEN

have character and individuality of
its own, and as whole the course
will be particularly adapted to the
average player. The cost of complet-
ing the course and building a water
reservoir and buildings will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. the letter
states.
Work on the new holes is progress
ing steadily. and the grading ought
to, be completed within a few weeks.
The architects have said the holes
should be ready for use by midsum-
mer. giving the members of the club
practically complete new eighteen
hole course, as compared with that
in use two years ago.
Remarkably fast progress has been
made at the Congressional Country
Club. II was disclosed at the annual
meeting Thursday night. One of the
two proposed eighteen-hole courses
has been completed and will be ready
for play yearly in the coming season.
Most encouraging is the financial con-
dition of the club. which shows
marked stability, according to the re-
port OF George u. watson. secretary
treasurer. The club has now 397
acres, and the clubhouse is expected
to be completed by August 81 Of
next year. The Congressional Coun-
try Club should be a pleasant addi-
ton to the golf facilities about Wash
ington.
While golf in the north is practi.
cally at Standstill owing to the cold
weather, golf in and around Wash
inston during the past week has
shown the advantages of the capital
as a winter resort. More golf was
played around the capital last week
than in several weeks previous. and

holds for the major portion of the
winter local players will find no need

The Canton team is expected to be
the most impressive of those brought
here this season to wage war with the
local pros. 1t has not felt the sting OF

Against this formidable array of
talent the Washington MANAGEMENT
will send practically the same team
that has represented this city through
the greater part of the season. Bleier
is expected to start at left end. Crouch
at left tackle. Mcdonald at left guard.
Hathaway at center. Van Meter at

Various authorities on the game
agree that the first and most impor-
,tant point in the game is to look at
the ball-in other words. after sight
ing the ball the head must be kept
still. Joe Kirkwood. the Australian
trick shot expert, in his exhibitions,
displays aptitude in hitting the ball
without looking at il, but previous L"
swinging Joe takes comfortable
stand, and when he turns his head
away he keeps it still. 1t doesn't t
move with the turn of his shoulders.
Stiff Left Arm Helps.
Champions agree, and the average
golfer would do well to follow the
rule of the stiff left arm. If there is
one factor in the swing which is more
apt than any other to prevent BODY
swaying and make for u full swing
around the body, it is the stiff left
arm, with the right elbow huesins
