SOUTHEAST LAYOUT
TO MEET BIG NEED.
First Nine Nearly Ready and
Another May Be Added
Next Year.
RI WALTER r. McCALLuM.

Wv WASHINGTON Is soon to have
"A another public golf course
AN perhaps pair OF them--oi
nine holes each.
Along the low-lying
ground on the south bank Of the Ana
costa River on what was o bank OF
unattractive mud fats few years back.
s. q. Leofiier, the big public parks goli
man. is constructing nine-hole layout
with sand green's, which VIII oe IN
shape to play within q few weeks and
viii be the forerunner OF fuii-ne1 geo
and full-length nine-hole course, nth
grass green's. TO come possibly next year.
Work ON the first of the two mines Is
well under way, and It may be that the
layout viii be ready for play within the
suace of six weeks. It viii give the peo-
pie of Southeast washington the thing
for which they have been clamoring for
many years. golf course within easy
reach, which may be arrived at without
the lengthy trip around the north end
Of the Washington Channel to Potomac
Park. 1t also viii give Leofier his
fourth big golf plant within the Capt.
tai. for he already operates the five
nine-hoie courses at East Potomac
Park, the short course at West Potomac
Park. and the colored course near the
Lincoln Memorial. and the splendid lS-
hole layout over the hills and dales at
Rock Greek Park. Leofier is doing
quite well for q man who didn't know
much about golf 10 years ago, for IN
addition to his extensive enterprises In
Washington, he operates public courses
in Richmond and Philadelphia.
Need Is Evident.
The latest addition to the Leofier
string of public golf ventures-the new
course In AnacoStia Park-Should DO
well, for it has a vast and growing terri
tory from which to draw its clientele.
And for many years the need for o
public course of some description in
the southeast or southwest portion of
the city has been apparent
Two or three years back Herbert T.
Shannon sensed that need, declaring
that If he were In the public golf busi-
ness he would buy up much Of the
property in the southwest part OF the
city lying between the water front and
South Capitol street and immediately
north of washington Barracks and
build thereon an l6-hole course. He
said at the time he thought It would
take much of the play away from East
Potomac Park. and possibly get Q few
rom ROCK creek Safk, because OF It's
location in heavily settled part OF
the city now lacking In golf facilities
without considerable travel. That
seems 70 be approximately what Leof1ier
has done, but without the need OF buy
ing property.
For Leofier, than whom no more
eff7cient public course manager ever
lived, has gone ahead to develop the
course on Government-owned land, Civ
ing the golfing populace Of South WASH
ington what they need without great
outlay of money. Whether the Ana
costa Park course win reduce the play
at East Potomac Park remains to be
seen after Il Is opened And on It's
patronage, 1t Is understood, win de-
pend the decision MS to whether another
nine-hole course win ~ built IN the
southeast section.
