PaddocEs absence from the 100
meter event did not Withdraw all of
the interest from the event because
the eyes of track followers we're on the
performance of Jose Barrientos, Cuba's
lone Olympic candidate, who will travel
with the United States team.
The Cuban acquitted himself we'll.
He finished only a few feet behind
McAllister. whose time was IL seconds

For McAllister it might be said here
that he likewise acquitted himself well
in finishing second to Paddock in the
200 because he had never run that dis
lance before In competition.
George Lermond tired badly In the
10000 meters and finished almost 200

noted that several times during the
race he put his hand to his heart. in
dicating that all was not well with him.

OLYMPIA FIELDS. MATTESOE. ILL.,,
June 25.--Washington golfers who are
unaccuStomed to the vast reaches Of
the Western prairies and the big way
In which Chicago does things would be
a bit awed and certainly greatly inn
pressed by the magnitude and vast
scale of the golf layout at Olympia
Fields.
In the first place It takes a first-cIass
golf course to so impress the moguls of
the United States Golf Association that
they award such an important event as
the national open championship to any
club. This club has not only one
championship course. it has three of
them. The other one OF the 72-i1ole
layout of four fine courses is not to be
despised It ranks with many OF the
Washington courses. and is fully as
good as those not strictly OF champion
ship caliber
Membership Of 1000,
The regular membership of the club
Is fixed by the constitution at 1000,
considerably less than the total MEM
bership Of Chevy Chase and the Balti-
more Country Club. but larger than the
playing membership of either. Seven
hundred acres comprise the broken and
heavily wooded tract through which the
four courses wind their way. Special
trains. called golfers specials, are run
by the Illinois Central Railroad to
within five minutes walk Of the club
house
The house itself Is great rambling
structure, operated more like great
hotel than like golf club. In two Of
its rooms. the main lobby and lounge,
the entire Columbia Clubhouse could
be put and In addition to these 1t has
numerous other rooms OF large size.
The house is surrounded on the East
and South by wide porches, while in
the center Is formal garden where
tea Is served overlooking an outdoor
dance pavilion.
Three dining rooms, all Of commodi-
GUS size. are included In the clubhouse,
the main dining room will seat 300 per-
sons at one time, while somewhat
smaller cafe caters TO the needs OF
those In hurry and downstairs large
cafeteria serves the golfers in shirt
sleeves.
Two OF the courses~~even three~~can
be turned over for big tournaments
without depriving the members OF the
club Of a golf course. What a spectacle
for the members of Chevy Chase. Co
iumbia. Congressional Washington and
other courses around the Capital who
are deprived OF the use OF their golf

progress,
