Tommy Defend Canadian Open Golf ono Toronto Ne Month

forward to the annual Summer tour
ney Of the Maryland Country Club, TO
be played over the Park Heights ave-
nue. course on July IS. 20, q and %.
This tourney is the only big affair held
in this section during the Summer.
An elimination tourney to decide the
four men who will represent Washing
ton in the national public links cham
pionship at Philadelphia the latter part
of July and early in August, is planned
by the management of the Park Amuse-
ment Co. which operates the two big
public courses here. A 36-hole qualify
ing round, with Is holes each at East
Potomac Park and Rock Greek Park,
probably will be staged during mid-July
to decide the personnel OF the four-man
team to represent Washington in the
public links classic. The championship
is to be played over the picturesque
Cobb Greek course in Philadelphia.
Washington golfers are trying to find
precedent for the ruling of the ex-
ecutive committee of the United States
Golf Association in permitting John
Farrell to lift from plowed ground
around q tree on the second hole of
the playoff for the open champion
ship last Sunday with Bob Jones. Far
rellS bail--and we stood within 10 feet OF
him as he looked it over-lay in worked
ground two feet from a small tree, in
playable lie, from which he could have
hit it out on the fairway, with the prob
ability that he would not have taken
more than S, which he eventually scored
on the hole. But here is where the
rub comes. The executive committee
had previously announced that the
tournament was being conducted under
United States Golf Association rules.
That meant that the local ground rules
were suspended except in so far as
course boundaries were concerned. Yet
the ruling of the committee i'll the case
of Farrell's ball was based on a local
rule that worked ground around tree
was to be considered ground under re-
pair The ruling was certainly break
for Farrell, although as it turned out,
he did not save a stroke by it.
But Bobby got break on the thirty
sixth hole Of the playoff, where he was
permitted to drop his ball near the
eighteenth green after it had been
kicked by policeman while in motion,
thereby securing fairly good lie.

Hackney's Method
to Line Up Shots

1t is not an easy matter for the
average golfer to line up his shots.
Invariably the pupils of Clarence
Hackney do so. All sorts of tips
and tricks are passed on to aid one
in this simple matter, but the fact
remains many golfers face about
every direction except the correct
one.
Hackney has q simple stunt. AS
one usually plays the long shots on
the left foot, his pupils are taught
to stand with feet together until
they get the correct line. Then the
player merely moves the right foot
into position without changing the
left at all. The result is the face
of his driver faces the hole and he
should hit the ball toward 1t II his
wooden shot is played right.
One of the oddities of golf Is to
stand at a tee with its front edge
not at right angles to the hole, or at
one where the line between the
markers is not at right angles to the
line of direction. Nine out Of every
10 golfers who drive from such a tee
will line up incorrectly. Invariably
they will take their stances accord
ing to the front line Of the tee or
the markers. rather than the correct
imaginary line which is at right
angles to the line to the flag.

~ HORN Of one of his two major
golf titles. Tommy Armour OF
CONGRESSIONAL. plans to make a
hrr, stand in defense of his last
remaining title Of note late next
month Holder of two nationai meoal
play titles in 1927. Tommy saw the
United States national open champlon-
shin pass to John Farrell last week AZ
OLYMPIC Fields, leaving the CongreSSion-
al star with only one important Title
the Canadian open championship.
The Canadian open this year will be
r,laved at the Rosedale Golf Club of
Toronto. and Tommy has already
Sjrnified his intention to enter the
event and defend the title he won last
wear. The tourney viii be played July
Is, % and Is for the Rivermead Cup,
which now occupies q place of honor on
a table in the big main rooms at the
Congressional Club.
ATmour's tournament campaign this
year. according to him, is not going
TO be the extensive affair II was last
year. when he held the national open
snd was expected TO play in almost all
the big events. Just now he is plan
ming a rest of several days in company
with his friend Frank J. Hughes, for
such a stiff competition as the national
open draws on any mans physical
reserves. And Tommy was in fine con-
citicn when he went to Chicago.
Tomorrow night or early Sunday,
Tommy and his brother. Alex of Con-
gressional. and Fred Mcleod Of Column
bia will leave Washington for the Oak
mont Country Club at Pittsburgh. where
they are to play in the Pennsylvania
open championship over the course on
which Tommy won the national open
last year and on which Alex Armour
finished second in the open qualifying
round three weeks back. The Armours
seem to like Oakmont and If this is
any augury, one of them may come
back with the Pennsylvania open crown.

But to get back to civil service
this commission, when it finds that
politics is entering the business of
selection of federal workers. is en-
powered to investigate and act as
lit deems iustifiable.
In those jobs where the appointing
officer and the politicians can pick
one man out Of list Of three
Ieligibles certified, politics very often
wins. But if the commission finds
that prior to an examination for a
postmastership or some such job
under its control. the word has gone
around that so-and-so has been
picked by the politicians and that he
| is bound to be selected, no matter
who gets higher rating, it often
sends out a representative to drum
up trade, stirring up real competition
which frequently becomes so hot that
| the policisians man can't land among
the first three.
The annual report shows there were
559.13 employees in the entire execu-
tive civil service at the close of the
last fiscal year, which was a decrease
of 1867 from 1926. Some 423O0O jobs
are subject to competitive examina-
ton
A majority of civil service workers
are postal employees, more than
100000, which added 2,755 employees
during the year. while other services
we're showing a decrease of 1922.
There were 10000 civil service
employees right here in Washington
and the rest outside, but of course
there are goodness knows how many
thousands who are connected with
the government here who aren't
under civil service.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-29

WASHINGTON-Assuming that the
recent shouts of high prohibition
enforcement officers against the
methods of the civil service commits
sion in qualifying candidates for en-
forcement jobs have aroused certain
interest in civil service, this is
good time to write something about
the commission.
Your correspondent has the 44th
annual report Of the civil service
commission at his elbow and all
that's necessary is to plow through
lis pages and unearth the mcst
interesting portions for public In
spection.
Going outside the report for a
moment, it ought to be said that
the commission, which has the job
of examining and certifying Lne vast
majority of government employees, has
done as good a job as anyone ever
had a right to expect. 1t functions
without regard to political considera-
ton and has been able to Withstand
political pressure, perhaps no; en-
tirely as it claims although that
is matter or argument GER
tainly to an astonishing degree.
Civil service was instituted by
congress in self defense not so
very many years ago, the average
member of congress spent an enor-
nous amount of his time filling the
scores of jobs at his disposal from
among hundreds of applicants for it..
He still has patronage, but no more
than he can handle, and he doesn't
have to make so many enemies by
refusing applicants for whom there
aren't enough jobs to go around.

When Homer sang of heroes bold
His obvious desire

In sending warriors bold and rough
Through many stirring scene,
He merely was creating stuff
For Hollywood to screen.
When Virgil's stylus DER the scroll
With easy practice slid,
