in any effort to balance the tourna-
ment schedule.
A committee was appointed at the
annual meeting of the District golf or
ganization in March to confer with
golf committee chairmen and help in
drawing up a schedule. A proper bal
ancing of the tournament season be-
tween Spring and Fall would appear
to be one of the ajor reasons for the
existence of this committee. Such a
proposal should merit the serious con-
sideration of the schedule makers.
The Tournament Scheduled.
Here is the lineup for the tourna
ments about Washington and Balti-
more this year:

Bannockburn Golf Club, September

Club, october l and =.
One of the arguments put up by
those against Fall dates is that the
base ball world series is likely to be
in Washington again. So it Is, and
every golfer hopes it will be for
long time to come, Yet it should be
possible to avoid the dates of the
playing of the world series without
jumbling up the tournament schedule.
AS the golf schedule stands now, it
is very top heavy in favor of Spring
events, with few in the Fall. 1t is
time a balance should be struck. Per-
haps a way out of the dilemma might
be found by keeping the dates for
at the older clubs-those
that have always had Spring date
as they are. and placing the other
events in the Fall.

The latter have no congestion prob
lem. Their tournaments are scat
tered pretty well through the year,
while the juniors have but one event
the junior championship scheduled
for September at Columbia.
Therefore it is with the man tourna-
ment players-the regulars whose
names are noted in every tournament
that the leaders of the game here
are most concerned.
Eight Big Spring Events.
The full schedule shows there are
eight big events to be held this
Spring, beginning with the Indian
Spring tournament next Wednesday
Atlantic championship at Baltimore
during the third week in June. The
tournaments beginning this week
continue right through to June 13,
the closing day of the Columbia
event, skip a week and then resume
with the Middle Atlantic tituiar tilt.
Now, with eight prominent events
in the Spring, there are but three
formal affairs scheduled for Fail, a
time of year when the golf courses
about Washington are in their prime
and when every condition should be
and is fully as good for golf as in the
Spring. So why is ii not possible
for the District Golf Association to get
its newly appointed tournament COM
mittee in touch with the chairmen of
golf committees at the several clubs
early next year and arrange a sched-
ule which will place half the big
events over which it has control in
the Spring and half in the Fall?
OF course, the two tournaments to
be held about Baltimore this Spring
are outside the province of the Dis
trict Golf Association. But many
Washington men will play in them,
particularly in the Spring event of the
Baltimore Country Club. Fewer
than half dozen Washington men,
and these the golf leaders about the
city, have keen invited to compete in
the Gibson Island tournament to be
held the last week in May. Also the
District association has no jurisdiction
over the date for the playing of the
Middle Atlantic championship, held
under the direction of the Middle At
lantic Golf Association, but there is
every evidence that the officers of the
latter association would be glad to
meet the District association half way

AMATEUR GOLF TITLE
FIELD LIMITED TO t6

NEW YORK, April 25.-The num-
Der to qualify by medal play in the
tournament for the national amateur
golf championship is cut In half under
the new conditions of competition an
nounced today by the United States
Golf Association. The tournament will
begin August 81 at Oakmont Country
Club, Oakmont Pa.
Steps also have been taken to re-
duce the number of competitors, which
in recent years has been unweildy.
Players eligible to compete for the
championship are limited to those with
handicapS of three or less, but handi-
cap alone will not entitle a golfer to
seek the tile. Each entrant must sub
NIT before August l a statement of
his performances in competition dur
ing the last two years.
Since the tournament began in 1894,
the 80 lowest scores in medal play be-
ginning the tournament have survived
for match play. This year there will
be only 16 qualifiers.
The change was necessitated by re-
duction of the time of the tournament
from seven days to six, step decided
upon last January in order not to keep
star amateurs away from private
duties more than a week.
Time was when the whole tourna-
ment lasted a week even with 80
qualifiers, but because of large fields
in recent years it was impossible for
the whole field to play 36 holes in one
day. Therefore, in recent years the
field has played Is holes on Saturday
beginning the tournament and Is more
on the next Monday.
This years qualifying round will
continue at SO holes, 1S being played
Monday. August 81, and Is on the
next day. Match play at 36 holes will
begin Wednesday with eight matches.
The tournament will conclude with
the final match on Saturday.
The new plan for limitation of en-
trants, abolishes an eligibility list
which the United States Golf Associa-
ton has had in recent years. This
list contained many low handicap
men and others regarded as able to
play good golf

and even though three temporary
green's are in use, there probably will
be but one permanent green-the
seventh-out of commission when the
tournament opens. The sixth, seventh
and eighth greens have been given
rest to permit the grass to grow.
On the whole the course is in first
class shape, and the green's commit
tee is making heroic efforts to check
up on the details of the layout in ad-
vance of the tournament. The new
clubhouse, commodious and we'll
planned structure, is in use. with the

exhibition match at Indian Spring to-
day The morning round will start at
1890 o'clock, while the afternoon tilt
will get under way at o'clock.
Par for the course-71-has never
been equalled, and the club has put
up a purse to the player who equals
it, while a special purse has also been
hung up for the player who turns in
the lowest 36-hole score.
The match should be immensely in
teresting to local golfers because of
the we'll known skill of the four men
engaged. Diegel, although located
this year on Long Island, has made
his home in the Capital for four
years. -
The amateur record for Indian
Spring is rs, and this is also the low
est official score made by any player
over the course. From the back tees
Indian Spring is one of the hardest
tests of the game anywhere around
Washington, demanding length and
accuracy to the ultimate degree.
Diegers phenomenal length should
enable him to score well.

Nearly l,UUU spectators Witnessed
the match between the two Davis cup
stars at White City. According to
the critic of the, Sydney Evening
News, Patterson would have won the
first set had he made the most of his
opportunities. He lost the first set
at 11-9 after he had been within a
single stroke Of victory three or four
times. Double faults and errors on
volley shots cost the powerful antip-
odean dearly, preventing him from
coming through at critical moments.
Patterson Nervous at Start.
Patterson seemed to have case of
nerves at these instances. There was
never> more than games difference
between the two after the score was
tied at 2-all until 9-alI was reached.
Anderson then took the next two
games for the match. In the second
set Patterson completely dominated
the play and allowed Anderson only
two games. The Victorian brought
off a constant succession of dazzling
shots, bringing his crushing overhead
smash into play and voileying off his
feet and from the right and left with
finality.
The tide turned again in the third
pset, when Patterson lapsed badly in
control and made error after error.
Patterson got only two games in this
chapter He improved d bit in the
final set, but he was still too far off
in his control and practically defeated
himself on his own errors, losing the
set at 6-3. Patterson held a lead of
30 in the last set, only to have An
derson take four games in row.
The Victorian brought the contest to
an end by double-faulting for the last
point.
Patterson Erratic.
The Australian critic deplores the
erratic tendency of Patterson, declar-
ing that he would be one of the great
players in the world II only he were
more accurate At times in the match
with Anderson, Patterson would make
brilliant service aces. and then would
spoil his good work by series of dou-
BILE faults. Several times he served
two or three double faults in success
sion, a failing with which American
tennis followers who have seen Pat
terson In action are familiar.
Patterson also developed great weak
ness in making his volley shots. When
he is going right, the Victorian COM
pares with Johnston and Richards as
a net player, angling the ball sharply
across court with the smoothest
strokes. But he was not going right
against Anderson. and the ball found
the net dozens of times, costing him
points when he had his opponent out
of position and the way paved for a
winning shot. Overhead, however,
Patterson was. effective in the extreme.
Again and again he took the ball out
of the air, from all depths, and brought
it down with a sleAgehammer blow for
the point. Many of these overhead
shots were kills of lobs that Anderson
failed to get sufficient depth on.
The Australian critic takes Patter-
son to task for his position at the
service line to receive service, taking
the ball ON half volley. He met with
no success against Anderson, but ten
mis- fans in this country took this posi-
ton. on a number of occasions in
matches and brought off several win.
ming shots on half volleys of service.
