CHIP SHOTS
BY JIGGER

Frank Shield. one of the most prominent golfers of the Shuttle Meadow club. failed to participate in the tournament Saturday for the first time since Fish, Flood and Old Man Par combined forces to make their domains as popular as any country club in this neck of the woods.

New Britain herald., 1929-05-28

Frank sat in a wicker chair over looking the ninth hole most of the afternoon. one down to a blistered foot. During the early part of the week he shot nifty so but the pace he set for himself raised big blis- ter. He didn't get much real sym pathy. for most of the players would accept two blisters if they could; make as good Q score as he did a. this time of the year. Now he is a
 favorite to win the presidents cup. Val Flood is known as quite ver- eatile gentleman of golf. He can tell you why grass is green, what goes to make club "feer' right and why duffers always slice. He used to drive q gutta -percha ball a mile when cleeks and lofters were used by the Hagens and Joneses of his day. Suggest stakes high enough to make it worth his while to shoot a round with you, and you'll take trim
 ming at the hands of the Old Master, if you don't sink your butts.
 Before he began his mission of
 converting links of the COW and sheep pasture variety into courses with beautiful fairways and perfect
 greens, Flood was something of a fighting man in the squared arena.
 All of Val's past has been drawn
 from him by artful ouestioners and
 long ago became part of the tradi- tons of Shuttle Meadow.
 But lately a new side of him has
 come to the surface. Mingling with
 the ministers as they play golf Mon- day mornings, he conceived the idea of aiding them by writing sermons.
 He claims that his first offering was
 accepted and preached by promi
 nent local pastor. It is Floods boast
 that he is as familiar with the Scrip lures as he is with the contents of
 the golf rule book.
 It might be we'll for the ministers association to consider ordaining the pro and set him to work on the Sun day morning golfers. He could ac- company the especially sinful four somes and preach to them as they
 walked from tee to green. He could intersperse his remarks with little hints about playing the shots. This arrangement might help solve the problem of the church reaching the men golfers.

BEST SURFAC|NG
FOR STREETS
SOUGHT

Thorough investigation Of
the street paving situation in
the District has been launched
by the Bureau of Efficiency,
it was learned today. =
Every phase Of paving conditions
viii be gone into by the agents of
the bureau. and 1t IS expected that
their report, when submitted to the
District Commissioners, will effect
radical changes.
The bureau Is investigating the
problem of street paving from the
time decision il reached to have a
street hard surfaced, to the time
the first vehicle traverses the new
roadbed and even beyond that, for
the agents will also study the en-
dupance and service afforded by the
paved streets.
Price Also Studied
The price OF paving, including a
comparison Of the prices Of the
various types Of materials in use.
and a comparison Of paving costs
here with those In other cities, Ii
one Of the many important features
OF the problem which the agents are
studying.
Suitability Of different pavings
which have been used in the Capital
in the past with those which hight
be used win be studied. All types
of paving material win be gone into
and tested with a view Of selecting
uniform paving most desirable for
use in the National Capital,
Specifications upon which bids for
paving jobs are asked will also come
in for attention OF those making the
investigation, and wherever posi-
bic the specifications now in use
viii be improved.
The efficiency bureau is also ex-
pected to go into the matter of Sc
lection of streets to be paved. and
It is probable that suggestions will
be made to the commissioners for a
standard progressive paving pro.

Cooperation Sought
Agents Of the bureau are also

with the streets.
This office was established after

then existant system, notably the
ripping up of street a few DAYS
after it had been paced in order

placed, or for some other reason
which could easily. have been fore
seen prior to the paving Of the
street.
The bureau is DESTROYS of seeing
how the office of co-ordinator is

the operation OF automobiles bear

ends. Cars bearing L and H tags
It is cofltended do not fall under
the authority of the commission but
can be regulated by the District
Commissioners.
The plan Fisher has in mind is
to determine where the commission
authority stands and he contem-
plates seeking necessary legislation
which will settle the matter.
Wants Qualification
The corporation counsel has ex-
pressed the opinion that the Utili-
ties Commission may require all
automobiles operated for hire to
follow regulations it may put into
effect.
1t is conceded that the District
Commissioners may rule that cab
or other conveyance may not he

step that will be taken in the
