Y Y1TH the Chevy Chase Club


n ! tourney ending today over
NV the great golf course OF the
club near Chevy Chase Cir
Gle, golf about Washington
does not enter into a weekend period
of inactivity. Not by any means. For
no fewer than five clubs have scheduled
events for Saturday and Sunday, "nlle
tomorrow an event Of more than pass
ing interest to hundreds OF schoolooys
will take place at Columbia ana on nf
Sunday the new nine-hole course OF
the Manor Club will be opened with APP
propriate ceremonies.
This latter event is one the members
of the Norbeck organization have been
looking forward to for several months
with no small degree Of pleasure. They
have viewed the good looking layout
built through the pines west OF the
clubhouse, have enviSioned It's dltIlcul-
ties from the clubhouse porch and nave
noted the various construction actlVl-
ties that go into the involved business mess
of building q golf course. few nave
wandered down the cloister-like Ialr-
ways, where tall pines and vicious I'M
dergrowth await a shot off the line.
Next Sunday the course will be thrown
| open for the first time, when Two OF
| Washington's outstanding amateur goIt-
| erS will contest with pair OF pro1eS-
SIGNALS in an 18-hole exhibition match.
Chairman Ray F. Garrity OF the manor
Club golf committee promises big 90
ings on this occasion and cordially m
vites the golfing public to come out 10
Manor Sunday afternoon ana WaIcn
Miller B. STEVENSON and Harry G. Pitt
try to put the well known bee on FREQ
Mcleod and AL Treder.
Just because the latter pair are pro-
feSsionals doesn't mean the match Will
be one-sided, or even that the pros will
win. for it is doubtful If there is better
best-ball combination in washington
than this self-same duet of STEVENSON
and Pitt. Perhaps the fact that these
two hold the most important sectional
golf titles which usually are invesed in
some District of Columbia players Will
lend added prestige to their appearance
against the mentors from Columbia ana
Manor. The match is scheduled to
start at 2 o'clock and should be f1rst-
grade exhibition. 1t will be as fair to
one side as to the other, for no man
will have played the course before Miller
STEVENSON bangs long, low hook down
the new fairway.
with this match Manor will formally
take over the new layout which has
been in the making for more than
year. And with it the old inside nine
will become the playground OF the
women of the club and the beginners.
The first nine then will serve as the
regular first nine, while the new nine
will be the last nine of the 18-hole
course of the club. 1t will give Manor
three complete nine-hole courses, some
thing no other club around Washing
ton, except Beaver Dam, now has. And
the new nine at Beaver Dam will not
be opened until May 80.
AS to tomorrow in a golf way, there
will be a lot of youngsters of school
age listening for the returns of the
interscholastic engagement at Column
bia, when Capt. Tommy Webb of West
ern leads his cohorts against the strong
" entrenched club swingers from Cen
trail In what may be the decisive tilt
for the Dawes Cup. 1t won't If Master
Webb and his merry lads have their
way, for they hope for nothing less than
a victory over the strong six-nan team
from the Mount Pleasant school, which
will place them in a tie with Central
in the current team series. If Western
wins each team will have two victories
and one defeat. But II Central wins
