Friday morning a small group of
amateurs. the leading golfers of the
Capital, for the entry list is limited
to men with IL handicap or less, will
move over to Indian Spring. there to
engage in the annual 72-hoIe medal
play competition for the District
amateur championship, now held by
Walter r. Tuck herman, tall Burning
Tree star. In this every man in
Washington who has done anything
notable in tournaments about the
city during the past decade will play,
for the District championship is the
T..
dom, transcending in interest even
the earlier tournaments which have
a larger entry list. Seventy-two
holes is a mans size test of golf,
for it demands unusual stamina and
unusual steadiness in any golfer to
play 72 holes in a reasonably good
score And Indian Spring especially
is a rugged test of the game, for par
has never been made over the course
at Four Corners, even though all the
stars of the game have tried 1T.
walter Tuckerman must defend
either one title or another, for he is
also the Chevy Chase Club champion
and the Chevy Chase Club title tilt
this year will be held Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, also
at ~ holes medal play. Later In the
month, with match play starting on
OCTOBER ~, SneNy SHdSc SoiiciS " 80
complete for the Liberty cup.
All the golfers of the Washington
Golf and Country Club who have
made holes in one stroke over either
the old or new courses are to be
given medallions and have their
names engraved on bronze plaque
to be placed in the clubhouse, under
plans announced yesterday by the
golf committee of the club. Four
players have made holes in 1 over
the Virginia course this year. two OF
them being scored on the difficult
18th, a 13O-yard pitch over ditch.
And w. E. Tisdale came within
fraction of an inch of scoring an
other ace on this hole last Sunday.
Congregational Country Club has
about decided to abandon it's plan
to hold a big invitation tournament
this Fall. The big club far out in
the hills of Maryland announced
earlier in the season 1T would stage
an invitation event for which the
entries of several prominent amateurs
would be received. But it tonf1icted
with the tourney dates of two other
events, and by the time Congress
sionals turn rolled around, it would
have been too late. So it appears
the big tourney idea has been aban-
doned definitely for this year, but
will come up again next Spring And
in the meantime Congress ional, plans
a tournament later in the month for
it's own members.
Two matches were played in the
first round of the championship of
the Washington Golf and Country
Club yesterday. In one of the title
contests, DIR. j. T. McClenahan, chair
man of the greens committee, beat
Henry A. Linn, chairman of the house
committee, 2 and l, while in the
other. P. w. Calfee took the meas
ure, Of X. S. McHugh, 1 up in 10
holes. McHugh was down and won
the last three holes, only to lose on
the extra hole.
The other matches in the first round
are being played today, with the
second round scheduled to be COM
pleted by next Sunday.
Radical changes are to be made in
the fifth hole at the Washington Golf
and Country Club. 3o0-yard affair,
with the second shot pitch to an
island green, with bunkers on three
sides. In the Summer, when the
ground is hard, it has been very diff

Most drives go to the right of the
hole, and even a. very long drive

der the present arrangement. But
