Marshall Whitlatch. former District
CHI mpion and a member Of Chevy
Chase, heads group OF Washington
men who are having constructed
game about the capital. The avowed
intention Of the founders OF the
course. which will be located about
two miles west of Chevy Chase. is to
build one OF the best in the country,
An innovation planned for tn
1t being the intention to build up the
ta!rways in the same manner that
putting greens on other golf courses
arc built and to so provide perfect
lies through the fairways at all times.
! Other innovations planned for the
lie. The new club. it Is said. will
have golf as its main feature.
Public Links Popular.
Last. but far from least among the
golf courses about Washington. come
the two public courses in Potomac
Park. which are daily teaching hun
dreds Of Washingtonians the fasci-
nation of the old Caledonian game,
and the new course now under con-
from the public courses that many OF
the future greats in golf about the
capital will come. and already there
are signs that the public course play
ers will be force to reckon with
/ in the very near future.
Several public links players entered
the local tournaments this spring and
did very well. at least two of them
qualifying IN the hrst flight in two
of the major golf events about Wash
ington. Tho Rock Creek Park course
is not yet completed. but will be
hrst-class nine-hole layout.
Three private courses-the F. B.
Mclean course at Friendship, the
Corby course on Wisconsin avenue
and the Wimsatt course-compiete
the golf courses about Washington.
OF the private courses the public
course at Friendship is of the highest
character.
Chevy Chase. with total member
ship OF more than 1000. proha bly,
numbers more golfers than any other
club. but Columbia runs it close
second witt. approximately 500, Of
whom probably a larger proportion
are golfers than at Chevy Chase.
Washington has membership OF
about $50, most OF them golfers, while
membership Of about $50, while the
Country Club still is growing and
probably will number as many. II not
more, than Columbia: The Indian
WeElDeISHlp has Hol Ucch
thrown open. Kirkside probably has
about $50 golfers. while the Whit
latch course will have a membership
of about $50.
Average IL 800 Daily.
AT Vie public courses it is not an
infrequent occasion for 100 players
to use the East Potomac Park links
on A Sunday. with perhaps two
thirds as many using the short course
In Woet Potomac Park. The daily
average at each course probably runs
close to 900.
So =. will be seen that golf In the
capital has made gigantic strides
since the organization Of the first
club nearly thirty years ago. This
city never has sent a representative
to a national championship who made
an impressive showing. with one ex-
ception. and probably will not for
some years, but there is every hope
that with some Of the younger play
ers who are developing this city will
come into its own.
Good golf breeds better golf. and
there have been more fine players de-
veloped in Washington within the
past decade than ever before.

The Treasury Department refused TO
divulge names or other details relating
to the frauds unearthed by revenue In

would violate Tho revenue laws. which
clothes such information with secrecy.
But generally 1t was said that the
Government Is turning up large sums In

making to fix responsibility for low tax
payments in the cases OF many large

Cases were brought TO light of COM

practically bankrupt. Several such cases
were brought to Secretary MELONS at

hands of a receiver. The company's
property may be sold for what it will
