Discussing the method of playing
the British amateur tourney, which Is
distinguished by an extraordinary
number of eighteen-hole match play
rounds, 1t developed that Fred Nc
Leod. professional at Columbia, does
not hold the popular view in this
country that the eighteen-hole meth
Cd is not a fair test for championship
golf.
Mcleod believes the thirty six hole
preliminary rounds to our national
amateur championship are too severe
on the players. Usually. he says, the
best player wins out over either the
eighteen-hole or the thirty six-hole
test. Chick Evans and other promi-
repeatedly they did not believe the
eighteen-hole match play round was
a fair test of golf. He claims that If
a really fine player starts off in an
unsteady manner, and allows an IN
ferior opponent to gain a lead, he has
practically lost the match. Chick
points to his experience in 1918
in England. where Bruce Pearce OF
Tasmania shot the first nine holes in
thirty-two against him, and even
Evans brilliance on the last nine
could not overtake the lead piled up
by his opponent, admittedly not as
fine a player as the Chicago marvel.
Mcleod does not lean to this view
teur championship the best players,
who realize their superiority over op-
ponents, are prone to ease up for the
first eighteen holes, believing they
and yet win. He believes that Al the
eighteen-hole test they would all
start out at top speed and that by
this means the championship could be
played in a shorter time. He points
out that the British amateur seldom
is won twice by the same player on
account of this fact and that British
1inksmen in the aggregate are better
than ours.
How about John Ball, who has won
the British amateur eight times? Does
Ball stand out among British golfers
10 such an extent, or is the eighteen
hole match a true test OF golf as op-
posed to our thirty-six-hole test?

ample. Last fall the club decided to
the state of Maryland a strip of land
along the entire Wisconsin avenue
frontage, thirty feet in width, to
allow for widening of the thorough
fare to Rockville. When the fence
is placed back and the land Is taken
over for road building purposes the
back end of the green will be only
about twelve feet from the fence.
Balls pitched for the green may carry
over IT out of bounds.
On this account the club may be
forced to construct an entirely new
green north of the present one and
about at the location of the present
sixth tee. This would neutralize the
erect of the traps laid out for the
NTH hole. and would make necessary
! construction of a new sixth tee.

TRENTON, Aug. 10 = Following
the advice of Governor Silzer to
Mayor Clarence f. Hetrick, of AS
bury Park, to watch the dumping of
New York garbage scows in an effort
to end the pollution of New Jersey
beaches, Secretary Sedley H, Phin-
ney, of the State League of Munich
palities has offered the help of the

One of the steps by the national

sanca will be a countrywide con-
ference by the organization to be
held at Atlantic City on October /,
2, and 3.
It was declared by Mr.. Phinney
that the solution of the garbage pol
luton is much easier than the COM
batting of the oil nuisance. The
adoption of an International agree
ment was advocated by Phinney.
against the dumping OF oil beyond
the three-mile limit, the perfection
of oil disposal apparatus and the CO.
operation of steamship concerns.
It was said that the whole SUBJ
ject was threshed out in 1921 at
the hearings at Washington on the
bill sponsored jointly by United
States Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuy-
sen of New Jersey and Congressman
Frank L. Appleby of the Third New
Jersey Congressional District. The
bill had for its object the elimination
OF oii-coyered beaches ard was de-
feated by a narrow margin.
At the legislative hearings at that
time, the points advocated by Mr..
Phinney to end the situation We're
also put forward as a solution of the
problem.
CONGRESSMAN Appleby also had de-
feated his joint resolution providing
for the secretary of state calling an
International conference on the oil
nuisance on coasts.
The Anti-Pollution League. in It's
letter offered Mayor HetrLek the full
est possible cooperation to end the
nuisance along the New Jersey shore.
