Compston poled several particularly
long tee shots, his shot on the long
fourth hole leaving him little more
than a pitch to the green. With the
wind behind him the tall Englishman
hit a ball into the trap guarding the
seventeenth green, a distance of about
300 yards. His tee shot at the first
hole nearly reached the green, 305
yards from the tee.

No more waits on the tee hunting
| for wooden tees at the Washington
Golf and Country Club. DR.. James
T. McClenahan, chairman of the
green's committee. this week will
| inaugurate an innovation, which he
hopes will eliminate much of the de-
lay occasioned by building sand tees,
and hunting for wooden tees after the
drive has been made. DR.. McClena-
| han has ordered several thousand pa
per tees, which will be furnished free
| 10 the members of the club with in
structions that they leave them where
they hit after the bill is struck and
forego the use of sand for teeing the
| ball. Employees on the course will be
| instructed to pick up the tees. but
members will be urged not to attempt
| to find them.
DIR. McClenahan believes this will
not only save time in playing the
course, but also will save money,
which would otherwise be spent on
sand to fill tee boxes. He has Inquired
out how much sand costs per season
and how much paper tees cost and
the paper tees.
