CHANGES
IN SHERWOOD
GOLF LINKS
Some Of Dog Leg Holes Of
Beautiful Course Will
Be Strengthened

Extensive improvements, with the
view Of converting the Sherwood
Forest golf links into layout which
will conform to the most exacting
championship conditions are now
under way at the picturesque course
bordering the Severn River.
Work Of reconstructing the final
Dine holes, where the majority OF
changes will be made, IL progressing
rapidly. Other than removing trees
in the line Of play on the first
nine holes, this section Of the course
will remain untouched, for the time
being at least. The present program
calls for the completion Of the work
in the early spring.
All of this work il being done IL
give Maryland's amateur golfers a
real championship course for their
annual tournament next season.
Sherwood Forest was awarded tee
titular play this spring, and VIM.

course bordering the Severn. put

However, rains in the early pat
Of the season rendered the last nine
holes Of the course, opened for the
first time this spring, unfit for cham
pionship play. and the Sherwood
Forest folk relinquished their claim,
to the tournament, with the unde.
standing that the 1925 classic would
be staged at the Severn links.
Dog-leg holes are being eliminated
and some four score or more q;
trees are to be removed. New fair.
ways are now under seed. The new
layout measures slightly over thS
6,200.yard mark, and when completed
will be one Of the most attractive IN
the country.
The present eleventh hole, a dog.
leg affair, has been dispensed witt.
and combined with the twelfth. This
change makes the hole q straight

which barred many District women
was inserted in their laws when the
association was organized carly this
spring.
This body was advised by the
mems association to follow their
lead in making all unaffiliated men
ineligible for membership in the as

club tournaments unless especially
invited. And 80, any District

association, and could not enter the

On the other hand, although the
club tournaments for men were not
open, their championship play which
comes off this month at Indian
Springs Is open for the entry OF
any male golfer in the District.

This erroneous condition should.
and probably will. be righted before

has been suggested that there Is no

We all know that In trying to

different teams Is no small Job, but
when Uncle Sam has q hard Job to
handle he picks the marines to do
It right, so Marine We. McGraw and
Ruth.
For left field. Ruth is right; my
choice, Jameson. For center field,
both are right; Roush. For right
field, Ruth is right; my choice,
Cuyler. For first base, Ruth Is
right, my choice, Judge. For sec
ond base, both are right; my choice,
Hornsby. For third base. McGraW
is right; my choice, Frisch. For
shortst0p,S neither are right: nv
choice, Gewell For catcher. neither
are right; my choice, Bassler. For
pitchers, McGraW is right; my
choice. Vance and johnson,
So the score Is 5 to against
McGraw and 10 to against Ruth.
would never pick Ruth instead
OF Jameson or Cuyler because any
old pitcher would sooner see Ruth

either Jameson or Cuyler, because
Ruth Is easier struck out. SewelI
