~ r. JAMES r. McCLENAHAN,
chairman OF the greens COM
mittee of Washington Golf
- and Country Club, has been
given a list of the work pro-
posed on the golf course for the coming
year had Stewart Whaley, the green
keeper, who resigned recently, remained
on the job throughout 1928. Many of
the Improvements in the course planned
by Whaely will be carried out under
DR.. McClenahan'S direction, with the
work done by the present green's force,
and one major improvement, not listed
in the projects suggested by Whaley,
viii be added to the group.
Improvements planned by Whaley in
clude the following:
Sodding and seeding of the new
twelfth tee.
Filling in the hole on the fifteenth
fairway. about $50 yards from the tee,
and construction of a new tee for the
fifteenth hole. half way between the
upper tee and the lower tee.
Rebuilding the old second tee to
lengthen the hole to a shot of about
IT'S yards, converting the hole from a
mashie or niblick pitch to a full iron
shot affair.
SOA1oeA 0SIAOil Va new Tee LOT the
third hole Immediately north of the
present tee by bridging the ditch and
forcing the tee shot more on a
straight line toward the green.
Construction OF a new green for the
sixteenth hole in the orchard IS or 40
yards west OF the present green.
Building Of a new tee for the
eleventh hole where the old tee on the
old course was located, lengthening the
hole some so yards and making the
shot much more difficult.
Whaley left one of the most i'm
portant changes for the last, recon-
mending that the east or back end of
the seventh green be raised 4 or S feet
above the general green level so that a
long shot played from far back will
have an even chance of remaining on
the green. As 1t stands now the green
Is somewhat hog-backed In contour,
and from the center toward the east II
falls away from the balls Whaley be-
lieved this TO be a most important step.
In addition to these improvements,
DR.. McClenahan plans to tile the ditch
at the seventeenth hole, pull down the
hill at the right side OF the fairway and
convert what has been a somewhat un-
satisfactory and unfair hazard into q
grass covered strip Of rough, where a
good shot will not be unduly penalized

The old idea that big muscles natu-

long life has long since gone into the
discard. but 1t is comparatively recent
times that emphasis has been placed on
the exercises that really count-those
bending and twisting movements that
liven the great muscles of digestion.
And the duckpin sport reaches these
important internal organs in all almost
ideal manner.
1t might be suggested that in view
OF its apparent value the duckpin sport
is pretty well ignored by health and
physical culture experts, but this argu-
ment Is explained by the simple fact
that duckpinS are new and more than

been running too far off land for

first glimpse of the shore line.
Mr.. Hoover used the opportunity
to stop in Antofagasta to confer
with a delegation of officials Of the
Bolivian government, who came
from La Paz, capital Of Bolivia, for
the conference. David Kaufman,
American minister to La Paz, ac-
companied the officials from La
