~ RED BTRNE, CHAIRMAN or the
l. Bannockburn golf committee, is
full OF ideas. Bannockburn' S
4 first event of the year was q
"totalisstor" golf tournament

day OF play. Tomorrow Bannockburn' S
golfing legions will play in hard hat
tournament, and Byrne kept secret until
today just what hard hat tournament
Is. Play will not be confined TO the
male golfers of the club. for the women

Here Is the way the hard nat" tour

signed to the following holes: Nos. 2
5, 7, 8, IS. Is and IT. Any competitor
or competitors making par on any OF
these holes will be entitled to the let
ter assigned to such hole. For example
If he makes par or better OH No. 2 he
will be entitled to the letter III" and
so on. The competitor finishing with
the greatest number OF letters or pars
on the designated holes will win the
contest.
Each player will be allowed stroke
or strokes on each hole on which he is
entitled to strokes under his handicap,
as indicated on the score card. Con-
testantS. according to Byrne. should not
figure their net scores, leaving that task
to the golf committee.

Harry G. Pitt Of Manor is moving
along in the same groove that brought
him the mid-Atlantic championship cnd
top rating among golfers around Wash
ington. last year. II any proof was
needed that he likes the course of the
Chevy Chase Club and can produce his
best game over this layout, it came yes
terday over the classic course near
Chevy Chase Circle, when, for the sec
ond time in as many years, he pounded
out decisive victory over Miller B.
STEVENSON Of Columbia in the final of
the Chevy Chase tournament Only
