The eighth hole at Bannockburn-dis-
lance 100 yards-was made in one last
week by DR.. William I. Ogus, member
of the Bannockburn Club. He played
a mashie from the tee.
Work is to start shortly on rebuilding
the seventh green at the Washington
Golf and Country Club and possibly on
the proposed reconstruction of the sew
enteenth hole. The green at the seventh
is to be raised at the back, so pitch
shots will hold, and possibly the back
of the sixth green will also be raised
for the same reason. In the middle or
the sixth green is hump which is al
ways fast and makes slope from the
middle of the green back to the bunker
behind the green. r. j. Norman, one
of the members of the golf committee.
has suggested that the tee for the four
teenth hole be placed, as an experiment,
on the top of Mount Rixey, the hill
which dominates the last nine holes Of
the Virginia course. If the tee is placec
on top of the hill the shot required will
be of the same length, but the carry will
be across the corner Of ditch.
Greenkeeper Fits already has started
construction work on the new first
green at Columbia, which will change
considerably the character Of the hole
and make it an exaggerated dog-leg az
fair. BY air line the hole will be shor.-
ened, but it is planned to place hazarcs
in such way that the hole will be
played as dog-leg.

None of English Courses So
Near Sea as Pebble
Beach Layout.

BY the Associated Press.
r ONDON, August 31-Cyril Tolley
and his little band of British in
vaders at Pebble Beach have
- played seaside" golf all their
lives, but this isn't likely to give
them any particular advantage on the
Seagirt, Calf, links that rise right out
of the Pacific.
For, oddly enough, the much-talked-
of seaside game of the British Isles
isn't played anything like so close to the
pounding surf and the rock-ribbed shore
as at Pebble Beach. British sea-
side golf has to do with the glorious
turf, the gusty weather and the links
land terrain which reaches perfection at
st. Andrews rather than proximity to
salt water itself.
Of the British championship layouts
at st. Andrews, Hoylake, PrestWick,
Troon, st. Georges and ST. Anne's
there are few holes that actually skirt
the sea. Balls often get wet in the
Swilcan Burn at st. Andrews. but the
only other water is the Eden River, be-
hind the famous eleventh green.
Hoylake has a classic short hole near
the estuary of the Dee. Most of Muir
field is nearly mile from the Firth of
Forth. Sandwich fairways f1irt with
the channel at few points, but always
fall back before getting too familiar,
while no green rises from the waves at
Pebble Beach.
In fact, full-blooded Tolley drive
would hardly reach salt water from the
nearest seaside tee on any of the cham
pionShip courses.
At st. Anne'S-on-Sea. where Bobby
Jones won his first British open in 1927.
there isn't a fairway within gunshot of
the Atlantic. A railway and the town
intervene between the course and the
beach.
The dangers of the Pacific will be as
real to Tolley, Storey, Bourn and Lord
Charles Hope as to Bobby Jones and
others seeking golf glory in the Golden
West.

race might be the tenth dash.
There are two 18-hole rounds, or
sprints, in the Pebble Beach affair;
and Jones in the last two years has
been within the thickness of a
blade of grass Of being retired IN
one of these sudden-death affairs, at
Minikahda, and at Brae Burn.
Pebble Beach may easily be the
time. In the British amateur cham
pionship at Muirfield in 1926, Jones
certainly was the best player in the
field, later winning the British and
American open titles in the space of
II days with an ocean voyage be-
tween.
Yet Andrew Jameson, an I'M
heralded young Scot who never has
been heard Of again, beat him In
the sixth round, 4-3. Jones had a
sour round, for him; Jameson had
a hot one.
There will be 81 qualifers at Del

The other day I read q funny
piece in a New York paper to the
effect that the national amateur golf
championship at Del Monte was by
way of being no more than COM
petition to decide which amateur
should be runner-up to Bobby Jones.
This, of course, Is very absurd
sort Of conclusion; yet it Is surpris-
ing how many golf fans and sport
critics seem to adhere to the theory
that because Jones unquestionably
is the best golfer in the world to-
day, he consequently is certain to
win match-play championship.
Golf is the most uncertain of
games. The simple sport of running
ought to be the least liable to up

LOCAL SOCCER TEAMS
ORGANIZING FOR SEASON

With the arrival of September, local
soccer enthusiasts are preparing to set
their house in order, looking toward a

The Capital City League is the first
to take steps in organizing its members,
and a meeting of the clubs has been
called for Tuesday night, at o'clock,
in room 2, District Building.
Possibly the most important business
will be the election of officers, and it
is likely that complete new set of
officials will be chosen, none of last

amateur golf championship today by
shooting a rs, four over par.
The title holders putting touch

one hole, the eighth, after firing
an iron shot over the sandy brink.
Jones, playing in a foursome with
the Englishman, T. A. Bourn, as
his partner, against Eugene Romans
of Englewood, N. j., and Phillips
Finlay of Redlands, Calf, was out
in SO and back in the same figure.
It was the worst practice round by
far that the Georgian has played
since coming to California, but the
gallery of more than 1000 that fol-
lowed him got the impression he
was not exerting himself: The
match was played in a brisk wind,
conditions not so favorable as
yesterday. This, along with a slight

MRS. HILL TAKES
WEST GOLF TITLE
Eagle on 37th Hole Defeats
Mrs. Lifur'S Birdie in
GrueIing Match.
BY PAUL Il. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

- LEVELAND, Ohio, August 81
An eagle beats a birdie every
time in golf; and because 1t
~ does, Mrs. o. S. Hill, fighting
veteran from Kansas City,
turned back the dramatic bid OF Mrs.
Gregg IIifur of Los Angeles for the
Western womans championship at Old
Mayfeld today.
All square at the end of the regula-
ton SO holes, which witnessed the game
little Californian come back from 4
down to fight her rivals to a Standstill,
Mrs. Hill smacked one good drive. a
pretty 150-yard spoon shot and then a
15-foot putt to give herself an eagle
on the extra hole and the champion
ship. And the eagle was required. too,
as Ms. Lifur went down fighting with
a birdie 4.
Hardest Fought Final.
1t was the longest, hardest fought
and most gruelling championship final

Victor and loser alike gained a ire

Mrs. Lifur, little woman who does
not know the meaning of quit" showed
the fighting caliber of a champion in
the struggle which lasted Z hours and
81 minutes. Granted only a fighting
to the Kansas City woman at the end
of the twenty-Second hole, she Shelled
her opponent mercileSsly and almost
won.
She fought for half on the twenty

of three straight brides to take the
lead for the first time since the fifth
hole.
But Mrs. Hill had some fight left,
too and turned back the challenge with
brides. She forced the little Los An
geles fighter to a half on the thirty
second green with a birdie 4 and
then halted the rush on the 370-yard
thirty-f1fth with her second birdie, a

through breaks and good golf on the
succeeding three holes. Then came
the extra hole and Mrs. Hills eagle
and victory.
Thrilling Final Hole.
Their drives were virtually even,
splitting the undulating fairway for 2l5
yards. Mrs. Lifur then smacked
spoon shot, which sliced slightly but
pin, and every galleryite was certain
she was the champion. But the
Kansas City woman, one Of the sturdi-
est match players of golf. was not to be
denied. She laced a spoon shot and
the ball rolled to within is feet Of the
pin.
Mrs. Lifur studied the putting lie for
three minutes and then hit it. The
ball grazed the cup, hesitated on
slight mound and then rolled two
inches away to the far side. With
Mrs. Hills putter failing miserably all
the way around the course, it looked
like half at the best.
But she aimed for the back Of the
cup and it went down. It was the only
eagle Of the tournament, and 1t had
son the championship.

Here the ground slopes away from out

carry from the tee, which has been
built out on the rocks in the Pacific

ends up in rather a narrow neck be-

he will get better as the play continues.
Jones is at home on any golf course

him. Bobby invariably hooks and If

Holes II and Is were made for
Jones. The seventeenth is stiff one
