in their scholastic Journeys, should

ANY players interested in entering
the event should send in their names

Dorothy Cook of Western, who held
the title In 1926 and 1927. will be grad

SO the title Is open to all comers.
An individual championship cup is
offered the winner Of the singles, and
appropriate trophies for runner-up and
doubles prizes.
WaShington's brand of tennis. among
fair racketers, is noticeably below the
average in neighboring cities-Balti-

notably. for the simple reason that in
these other centers the juniors take
much more enthusiastic interest in COM

give serious attention to the develop

of experience rather than genius-you
may have the spark, but unless 1t is

centration. the greatest genius will
dwindle to flicker of potential light.

to any club Constant play In tourna-
ments has aided the scoring in the big
events
J. M. Willis and DIR. j. r. McClenahan
have slight reputation around the
Washington Golf and Country Club for
deliberate play on the gold course. Not
that they are slow, nor that they hold
up matches behind them. They are
Just deliberate The other day-the day
of the big rain (Which hadn't then
started) they we're in foursome having
luncheon before the start. One Of the
other members mentioned that he had
to get back in town by 6 o'clock. and
Willis said: well If Mac (Dr. Nc
Clenahan) will just hurry along we can
make it," And then the argument
started.
Bunkers do not make a golf course
nor do trees or ravines or the man
made hazards that cause trial and
tribulation. Most golfers are agreed
that, no matter how many bunkers
there may be on golf course. however
difficult the holes may be and no mat
ter how thick the rough grows, at least
part of the pleasure Of playing Is lost
Ii the driving and putting conditions
are not as good as possible.
The little things which make course
pleasant to play count far more to
the average golfer than multiplicity
of hazards or preponderance OF diff
culties. Such things as carefully moWn
fairways, we'll grassed and level tees,
smooth approaches to green's, well mown
grass on the sides of bunkers and care
fully raked traps mean far more than
anything else can possibly mean In the
life of the fellow who hopes to break
100.
And these things are just the factors
that greenkeeperS around Washington
are working toward these days of
Spring. as the grass is getting good
start.
Tee sodding, green repairing. bunker
cutting and such things are going on
at every course around the Capital. the
purpose being not to make the layouts
harder, but to make them easier and
better for the average player. Moth
ing can be more discouraging than TO
see a well hit chip shot strike a tuft
of grass and go shooting off at some
weird tangent, or to watch well hit
pitch strike some uncared-for piece of
grass and hop on at bad angle.
Likewise nothing is harder TO play
an iron shot from than clay tee. and
wooden club shot from a tee whose
grass grows in clumps and Jumps is
not the easiest shot in the world.
These are the things that are being
taken care of at the Washington
courses these days
Out at Washington all the green's
have been top dressed and the, edges
of many of them have been patched
with sod. Similar work is under way
at Indian Spring, where John McCor-
mick planted bed of bent last year
that gives him plenty of sod Con-
gressional has just completed the work

~ OBJ BARNETT of Chevy Chase, a
- serious-minded business man.
professional golfer, firmly be-
H. lieves that purses put up for pro
golf tournaments are to become
larger. and that o,ft of the tournaments
and their large purses will come two
distinct classes of professionals. The
line of damarkation between the play
ing pro and the teaching pro is not
now as clearly drawn as 1t will be at
some future day. Barnett holds, declar-
ing that bulkier purses will draw the
fine playing pros of future years to the
big tournaments in greater numbers.
The trend now is toward separation
of the playing pro and the teaching
pro, Barnett declares, pointing to the
playing golfers, who have travelled to
California in December and back
through the South in the late Winter
months, as an evidence of this trend.
There Is now in the eastern part OF the
country definite tournament round
which attracts most of the star profess
sionals to compete Only in the early
Spring and the late Fall is the tourna-
ment round incomplete, for April and
December usually have fewer than the
other months.
Professionals even now fall into two
classes-the playing group and the
teaching group, Barnett says, but future
wears will see in his Judgment, the play
ing group entirely disassociated from
club connections, seldom giving lessons
and devoting their entire time to travel
ing over the bunkered land picking up
bulky purses. Municipalities and real
estate DEVELOPMENTS have found that
hardly any other class of advertising Is
more worthwhile than a major golf
tournament.
Barnett himself gets far more kick
out of teaching player at his club the
proper way to execute difficult golf
shot and out of seeing him play well
than winning tournament. "As soon
as the tournament Is over the pleasure
Is all gone" he saws. II spend the
money and that is all there is to it.
But when see a pupil of mine play
ing shot have been fortunate enough
to teach him. / am far more pleased
than when manage to nose out the
rest of the boys in tournament.
like to play In tournaments but don't
think ! should enjoy playing in them all
the time"
What Barnett means with regard to
bulky purses Is more of the big money
such as the professionals played for in
the purse totaled $4,000, and the win
ner got one third. Whether this sort
of thing is doing golf any good Is a
question open to argument, for 1t makes
the $4,000 the United States Golf As
sociation puts UP for the open cham
pionship seem piker purse In compari-
son. The winner of the national open
gets nothing more than $500 In cash
and medal. and 1t usually costs him
all the cash he gets to win the tourna-
ment
We know that Tommy Armour gave
his caddie more than half the $500 at
Oakmont last June. OF course he
didn't have to. but he knew that the
open Is worth $4,000 or 100000 to any
man and that couple of hundred
didn't mean anything in view Of the
