Work on the course Is now confined
to the tenth, eleventh and twelfth
holes. where green's have already been
constructed. All that now remains to
be done is clearing and sowing of the
fairways to bring the course up to one
of standard length. affording a variety
of shots to any player, and especially
calling for accurate iron shots all
through the layout.
Chairman Noise and his greens
committee have put in months and
years of hard work on the Bannock-
burn course and deserve great credit
for the work they have completed,
with the supervision of the club pro-
fessional, Lionel G.. Walker.
Proceeding with the extensive bunk
ering program laid down in August
and only partly finished before its
tournament in October, the Congress
sional Country Club is holding plans
for it's second 1S-hole course in abey-
ance for the time being. The plan for
a 36-hole golf layout has not been
abandoned, but the club, according to
one of the members of the golf COM
mittee, has decided to concentrate on
the present layout, improve it and
trap 1t thoroughly and let the second
1S-hole project rest for n while.
The club owns scores Of acres of
land east of the clubhouse, on which
it Is proposed to construct the new
l8-hole layout. running toward the
Burning Tree Club whose clubhouse
can be seen from the twelfth hole at
Congressional.
First and second match play rounds
in the Manor Club championship, post
poned from last Sunday because of
bad weather, are to be played today.
A. L. Houghton, former star public
links amateur, now a member of the
Manor Club, is the outstanding player
in the tournament. Earl McAleer,
also former public links player, won
the club title last year. He is not de-
Tending his championship this year.
That the Chevy Chase Club will re-
main in it's present location for some
wears to come seems assured by an
nouncement by President Britton that
the club contemplates spending up
ward of S150,000 on improvements In
the buildings and grounds Immediately
around the clubhouse. A swimming
pooI and bath house, a new tennis
house, an addition to the bungalow
and improved locker and bath facili-
ties for both men and women men,
bers are proposed in letter to mem
hers. on which the club membership
will vote December 1, when the annual
meeting is held.

repeated this opinion. among them
Cyril Walker, 1924 open champion.
Cyril was a lad at Manchester, in
England, when Sayers was in his
prime, and one day caddied for the
we'll known T. G.. Renouf In a match
against the diminutive Sayers. 1t
was a bitterly contested battle. Renouf
giving Ben such a tussle that he had
to call upon headwork to reinforce
physical skill in the climb toward vic
tory.
On one hole psychological maneu-
Yer by Little Ben gave him what
proved to be the winning edge, and,
incidentally, registered in Cyril Walk
er's mind one of the cleverest STRAIT
egies he ever saw on the links.
Were I'm Match Play.
"Renouf and Sayers were playing a
round in a match-play open tourna-
ment." saws Cyril, the scene of the
tournament being the Trafford Park
course. near Manchester.
"Renouf had the advantage in that
he was professional at Trafford Park
and knew the course from A to II.
This knowledge was of particular
value on this day, because wind
that was almost small gale was
blowing, interfering with almost every
play.

crafty Sayers who used this wind TO
his advantage.
playing the ninth hole. which has
a length of about 400 yards. Renouf
and Sayers got off good drives, but
Bens had little more length than
Renouf's, so that the latter had to
make the first play to the green.
Now bear this in mind: In the
wind. the second shot called for a
mid.iron play-no more, no less.

Up until last year. it is true. this
section of the country did not count
very heavily insofar as competitors
III the amateur championship We're
concerned. Yet even then, and for
many years previously. the United
Nates Golf Association drew heavily
for its membership on golf clubs To-
Gated 'in the District of Columbia,
Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia
and Delaware, not TO mention the
vast Pennsylvania territory outside
of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which
mas usually had representation.
Section Now Prominent
Only within the past two yeays
the situation in regard to compeii-
tlon in the hic amateur event of the
year has changed. While at the same
time new clubs have been established
in the States named, until now the
L. s. G.. 4. has more than $50 clubs
on its rolls in the territory under
onsideration. Yet that territory IS
without representation.

attention 10 the Middle Atlantic sec

amateur championships of the last
two years and the level of golf with
IN the Middle Atlantic Golf Associa-
tfon has been growing steadily until
today Its champion stands on a plane
as high as that of any other sectional
association. And yet il does not have
representation on the governing body
These facts would appear to indicate
the deSlrability Of Middle Atlantic
representation at least on the execu-
tive committee of the United States
Golf Association. There are scores of
men in the Middle Atlantic Associa-
ton who have the interest of better
golf and the game at heart. who would
be glad to serve and honored to be
included on the executive committee
of the United States Golf Association
A few of them are active in the af-
fairs of the parent body. even though,
they are not on any of its working
committees.

May Become World Marks.
While the marks approved will go
down now only as American records,
they represent world records in near
ly every instance, needing only the
approval of international authorities
later to become officially such.
Notable among the track marks up
for approval is d performance Of 100
yards in 8 $40 seconds, credited TO
Jackson Scholz of the New York 4.
c. at Greensboro, n. G., last May.
This mark, if accepted, would dis
place the standard of 8 3-5 seconds
which has stood since 1906, when it
was set by D. j. Kelly and since has
been equaled only by Howard Drew,
Charles Paddock and Cyril Coaffee.
Indoors, the outstanding running
feat slated to grace the record books
is Nurmi's miles in S:3S 10,
achieved last February at Madison
Square Garden. BY bettering by
minutes for the distance for the first
time in history, Nurmi was hailed as
performing the impossible with "a
mark that is more than 111seconds
faster than the world outdoor record
held by Alfred Shrubb.

and it is hoped that many of the local
anglers will help. swell it's membership.
The cost of membership for the year
is only 81.
The Star fishing fund still is in
existence and still is about S4G0 short
of the desired amount. | was asked
the other day. What's the matter
with the Washington anglers that
they have not contributed the de-
sired amount?" and / was compelled
to answer, II do not know"
l have tired TO analyze the situa-
ton and find some reason for the
failure on the part of the anglers to
contribute this $1,000. At first l
blamed myself, thinking perhaps l
had not presented it in the proper
way, but with stories on the first
page of the paper, on the editorial
and sports pages, l cannot see how
the matter could have been presented
in any other way, figuring that the
readers of The Star would surely
learn about it on one page or the
other.
This project has passed the dream
stage; 1t now is a reality. Relying
on my promise that the anglers of
Washington would contribute $1,000
of the $1,000 needed to build the fish
racks and place the same in position
at the inlet and outlet gates of the
Basin, Col. Sheriff. went ahead with
the work and the racks now are COM
pleted. Commissioner O'Malley of
the Bureau of Fisheries intends to
have them installed when the ice
melts in the early Spring. After
these racks are in place, under the
supervision of the Bureau of Fish
cries, the basin will be seined and all
fish classed as undesirables by the
bureau will be removed, and then the
planting of both large and small
bass, crappies, sunfish and rock bass
will be commenced.
Both Commissioner O'MaIley and
Mr.. Leach of the Bureau of Fisheries
are most enthusiastic over the project
and already are looking to the time
when they can commence planting
the fish. AS a matter of fact, they
have started the ball rolling to col
lect the fish, which they intend to
plant next Spring. Both of these
men say there is no better place in
the whole United States for the breed
Ing of fish than the Tidal Basin. 1t
will not only supply a long-felt want
of anglers of Washington-an ideal
fishing pond-but will be the means
of restocking the Potomac River in
the vicinity of the city, as it is the
intention of the bureau to allow a
certain number of these fish to escape
into the Potomac each year.
When this is done the Georgetown
Channel, the Little River and the
Eastern Branch of the Potomac will
become well stocked with fish and
the angler will reap his reward.
Surely this is alluring enough to
cause a sufficient number of anglers
to dig down in their pockets and con-
tribute so cents or 81 to close this
account.
Remember, all that is now needed
Is $3.50. Col. Sheriff. has done his
part by allowing the use of the basin
for this purpose He has more than
done his part, because he secured
from the Joint Welfare Service a
contribution of $1,000 toward this
project.
