IA green. This feat, recorded only
once before around Washington,
was accomplished yesterday at
the washington Golf and Country Club
by j. M. Moser, one of the great class
Of golfng buffers. Playing with DR..
Hugh Davis, Moser hit his tee shot at
the 145-yard eleventh hole with a
mashie. The ball rose high In the an,
struck squarely between the edge OF the
cup and the pin, and stayed there.
Several years ago A. w. Gillian made
the old sixth hole at Rock Creek PARK
in one in similar manner his ball also
wedging itself between pin and cup. In
both cases. when the pin was removed,
the ball dropped into the hole.
MANY curious things have happened
at this interesting short hole, which
is really a tough proposition If the
tee shot is not hit correctly. -Four

holed out In II strokes. His ball was
above the hole. on fast putting green,
and heputted down the hill past the pin
into the water hazard. completely

after ball into the water and nnally
got down in II. He was playing III
score competition, too.

members played his tee shot short OF

South open, which will start over the
picturesque No. 2 course tomorrow "
morning. All the trouping professionals
who have starred in golf events in the
west. Southwest and South during the
Winter are gathered at Pinehurst; IN
Guiding all the members Of the Ryder

Local interest centers in the entry OF
