Want Work Done This Year
F. E. McCurdy, appearing in be-
half Of the committee, stated that
the people interested are anxious to
have all preliminary work done. as
early as possible so that, if the
project is put through, the work
can all be done this summer before
cold weather sets in in the fall.
Some opposition to including
such large area in tho proposed
paving district was voiced by two
| or three persons who attended the
meeting Of the commission, but il
| ss,~s ,>r,;n%nd >>,,& <ko% ~nA;o,> xo,., .,r
quested was only preliminary, iT
order that some idea Of the cost Of
such paving could be secured, and
that after bids were opened, the
area could be reduced as much as
was deemed advisable, or graveling
could be substituted for paving in
sections where the property owners
decided the paving cost would be
too high and perferred the cheaper
method Of street improvement.
Many Types Considered
Bids will be asked on the follow.
ing types of paving:
Seven inch reinforced concrete.
Two and one-half inch sheet
j. asphalt on five.inch concrete base
+ Two inch Warrenite bitulithic or

little tournament playing, except in
the Winter.
Burke uses but one grip for all
shots. the overlapping one I have
sketched. There is no change when
he lays aside a wood and picks up
his putter. Perhaps that is best for
the average player who has SO little
time to give heed to the usual golf
problems that even veX the pros.
1t does stand to reason that the more
such player can simplify his game
the better he should play.
Why then not do bit of expert
nnenting during the coming Winter
and a lot more thinking about your
own particular game? No one can
better solve your golf problems than
yourself. Try to reason them out.
II you can see any sound reason for
changing. your grip from wood to
short irons and putter, then do so.
But II you cannot, do not change
grips just because you have seen
some star do it, for there is just as
much evidence to prove to you, II
you take the trouble to investigate,
that other stars, just as bright, hold
to the same grip for all their shots.

Bruce L. Taylor, jr., son of DR.. B
l.. Taylor, chairman of the Congress
sional Country Club handicap commit
tee, today is the maker, and in a sense
not the maker, of a hole in one. He
actually holed his iron shot from the
tee at the ninth hole at Congressional,
but it is doubtful If he could be credited
with hole in one under the cir
cumstances.
1t came about in this fashion: Tay-
lor was playing at Congressional with
a friend in the teeth of a high wind,
which swept from the west across the
course. He hit a ball from the tee
which carried far over the trees at the
left and rolled down onto the first fair
way. Believing the ball to be lost, he
hit another. This ball carried on the
green and rolled up to the pin. coming
to rest half way across the edge of the
hole, but leaning against the Flagstaff.
which careened back and forth in the
wino. The caddie master. seeing the
shot. ran over and pulled the flag
out and the ball dropped in the cup.
Taylor never found the first ball, and
now he wonders if he can be credited
with an ace.
A real ace was secured at Congress
sional few days ago by w. S. Smith,
member of Congressional and Ban
nockburn. who holed his midiron tee
shot on the 197-yard third hole. This
shot left no doubt about its destina-
ton, for 1t struck in front of the green
and rolled directly into the cup.
Tony Sylvester. former clubmaker for
Tommy Armour at Congressional, used
to have quite reputation as a maker
OF wooden clubs for the topnotchers Of
the game. And now that Sylvester has
gone to Bannockburn and become a
full-f1edged professional, the mantle of
supremacy in clubmaking he enjoyed
has fallen on another Tony - Tony
Penna. the present clubmaker at Con-
greSSional. Only a short time ago Leo
Diegel came to Washington and de-
parted with half dozen wooden clubs
made by Penna. Now Penna Is max
ing a set of wooden clubs for Jim
Barnes. the latest plutocrat among the
pros. Jim is said to have made quite
