PLAN CAMPAIGN
FOR RECORD
ENTRYL|ST )
President Brooke Issues Call
for Meeting Monday Night
of Golf Association.
BY LEONARD w. COLLINS.

President Edward Brooke. Of the
District Of Columbia Municipal Golf
Association, has called a meeting Of
the officers and board Of governors
to be held in the new Hearst build
Ing, 1917 H street northwest, next
Monday evening at 1880 o'clock.
The officers OF the association are
planning to enlarge it's scope and
activities and take more prom
lnent part in matters pertaining to
municipal golfers during the COM
Ing season. Other matters OF i'm
portance will be brought up for dis
cussion.
Speaking Of the association and
It's plans, President Brooke said:
Late last fall we held meeting at
the East Potomac Park course and
formed the association. Officers
were elected as was a board OF
governors in addition to the adop-
ton Of a constitution and bylaws.
Those elected were Col. c. O..
Sheriff., officer in charge Of public
buildings and grounds, honorary
president; myself, president; John
w. Eldrige. vice president; E.
Maury Posey, second vice president;
Norman B. Frost, secretary, and
s. G. Leoffler, jr., treasurer.
"The board Of governors consists
Of the officers together with James
D. Preston, DIR. Charles Cole,
Harold D. Miller and James NJ.
Hubbell. AS you will notice the
officers and board were so elected
as to give East Potomac and Rock
Creek parks an equal representa-
ton.
owing to the lateness in the
season when the association was
organized we were unable to accom-
plish very little. If any, Of the many
things which we had planned. This
year, however, we are going to get
a running start.
mo effort was made to enlist
members into the association, we
considering every municipal player
OF the District as being a member
in good standing. No dues or as
sessmentS were levied or collected
due to the fact that the association
had no expenses whatsoever.
II have talked the matter over
with several Of the officers and
members Of the board of governors
and they seem to be unanimous in
the opinion that a small assessment
or annual dues Of say. not more than
25 cents should be required Of every
golfer who wishes to remain a mem
ber Of the association.
1.-THE expenses in running the as.
sociation will be nominal. In fact,
know Of no expense the associa-
tion will be put to other than the
purchase Of stationery, stamps, etc.,
for the use of the secretary.
I'VE plan to affiliate ourselves
with the United States Golf Asso-
citation in the same manner as other
regularly organized associations
such as the Middle Atlantic and
others. Correspondence to this ef-
feet is now being carried on with
Secretary Cornelius 8. Lee, Of the
U. s. G. A.
Another matter to be brought
up at Monday nights meeting will
be that Of the second annual Dis
trict municipal championships which
will be held over the Rock Creek
Park course beginning May 10. We
want to see at least 1000 entrants
in the impending event"

Ruel Led EN- All.

ASuCA ACU ASAA 1AAAo
MKUDDY RUEL, the Griffmen's
W snappy little receiver, made
Ava quite a big splash in his
first season in a Washington uni
form. The ease with which he
took away Pat Gharrity's job as
first string catcher opened every
body's peppers at Tampa last
spring and then the little fel-
low stepped right out and became
the best backstop in the major
leagues, judged by his record at
bat and in the field.
Muddy was never considered a
slugger when with the Yankees
or the Red Sox, but he became
deadly in the pinches last season
at the Georgia avenue playstead.
His final batting average was .316.
Ruel's fielding average was $3.50,
better than any other backstop's.
His total of 146 assists in 1873
games led the majors. Henline
and O'Farell topped Ruel a bit
at bat, but their fielding did not
begin to equal his.
This season the Griffs are to
have three catchers capable of
holding their own in Ruel, Har-
grave and Tate. Hargrave is a
sturdy person with a strong throw
ing arm. Tate, the youngste1
from Memphis, is said to be a
wizard behind the bat but not
quite so powerful with it. How
ever, it will be a relief to see
every Washington catcher able to
peg.
