Chevy Chase is planning to build i'm :
proved and enlarged facilities for golf
practice. A space north of the first
tee has been cleared and will be made
into tee, 50 that players may drive
toward the eighth green when prac-
tlclng. In order that those playing off
the ninth tee will be safe from stray
wild shots. a huge mound will be
thrown up to protect the tee.
All the regular greens now are in
use at Chevy Chase and the course is
in excellent condition. The new fifth.
season might have to be abandoned,
is in splendid shape. The sixth. from
the present tee is a fine two-sho OF
hole, requiring long and straight
second shot.
the Elkridge Hunt Club of Baltimore
will play a team of woman PLAYERS
representing the Chevy Chase Club
tomorrow, at Chevy Chase. The Balti-
more women will be the guests of
the Chevy Chase players at luncheon
preceding the match. Mrs. L. o. Came
ron, the District women's champion,
probably will captain the Chevy Chase
team.

PrOfessiOnal golfers at clubs about
Washington have taken long step
forward In organization Of a profess
sional golfers association to furnish
events for the paid players here
abouts. The advantages OF compett-
tion to professionals cannot be over
estimated, for the man who must
stand out on a tee on a hot day and
attempt to instill in the mind OF a
beginner the thousand and one things
he must learn-or unlearn-about
golf has no soft snap. The restful-
ness of competition among them
selves will do a great deal toward
better relations and high class of
work among pros about Washington.
