COURSE is CLOSED"
BUT 1T IS INDOORS
"The course Is closed"

1.-THE course is closed"
Clarence Jones, locker chief extraor-
binary, made the announcement in a
doleful tone yesterday at the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club. Outside
it looked fit for play. and down on the
seventeenth and eighteenth holes be-
sweatered figures struggled with par.
What do you mean. Clarence?"
ooh, I mean the indoor course"
Clarence replied. wide grin spreading
over his countenance. And it was true.
The little hole in the floor of the pas
sage way from locker room to grill
room, whichshaS been source of much
pleasure to the members of the club
during the Winter when snow and
winds forbade outside golf, was filled
with cement.
The indoor course Is closed and no
more will 10 or dozen men gather to
match their skill against the tricky rolls
of the floor and brave the hazards OF
rubber mat and the door steps In a
friendly game of syndicate putting.
Many will mourn the passing Of the
indoor course at Washington, but it be-
came too great nuisance. When the
games waxed large members not in the
contest were scarcely able to walk from
the grillroom to the locker room and
from the lower floor to the upper floor
without breaking up the careful putt Of
one of the participants.
Chairman Power of the Washington
house committee promises to secure a
putting board of type similar to that
used in the sun parlor at Columbia.

NORTON BEATS RICHARDS
IN SOUTHERN PRO EVENT

PALM BEACH, Fla. March Is Np.-
Brian I. C. Norton. former South Afri-
can amateur net star, sprang an upset
in the annual Southern professional
tennis tournament here today when he
defeated Vincent Richards, present ma
tional professional champion, In the
finals In straight sets, SIS, Is and
6-l.
Norton deserted the amateur ranks
last Monday to enter the tournament
for cash prizes. Not having played any
competitive tennis In two years. He
was not even seeded as q favorite. His
first round saw him eliminating Paul
Heston, runner-up to Richards last
year In the semi-finals Norton downed
Charles Wood. another seeded star and
climaxed his play with his victory over
Richards today.
Norton adopted Richards own style of
play to defeat the champion at his own
game. Neither rushed the net very
often and Norton's baseline game was
much stronger than Richards.

No. 3 Hole at Burning Tee
Is Potent Score Wrecker

stretches a deep ravine, which forms an
ample hazard with Its rough and rugged
ground.
The green itself Is so constructed that
the best kind of shot is played high in
the air to hit to the left of the pin and
run down the slope toward the hole
A ball hitting on the right edge OF the
green is not nearly so apt to stay on
the putting surface as one that strikes
on the left side of the pin. The green
usually Is quite fast In Summer and
for that reason most of those who are
familiar with the hole attempt to keep
their ball below the hole so they may
have an uphill putt.
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced by the green's force at Burn
ing Tree in keeping brown patch away
from the putting green surface. For a
time last Summer the green was not
in use and the pin was placed In the
shallow bunker at the left to constitute
a temporary green. But in the Spring
and Fall this third green. as most of
the others at Burning Tree, Is spongy
and true, one Of the best putting sur
faces to be found anywhere.
The hole is characteristic of the de-
signing work of Marshall Whitlatch
and Colt, Mackenzie and Allison, who
built the Burning Tree course.
We remember one day last year play
ing the course with group of profess
SIGNALS. from the back tees on every
hole. Only one man was able to reach
the third green with I1lashie.

and play long iron or spoon to

sometimes much closer. That made all
the difference in the world. I was the
one now under pressure. The psyche

to Dick. We were all even, so I felt
I couldn't afford to miss"
They were even in this match COM
ing to the thirteenth green. Here Bob
Jones holed 12-foot putt for q four,
while Dick Jones missed three-foot
putt for 4. Bobby took one putt
on this green, while Dick took 5. And
that meant the match, as they halved
the next five holes in par. And when
the match was over, the long.hitting
winner admitted the heaviness OF the
pressure he had to face The next year
at Minnekahda frequently he used q
spoon from the tee.

rather have the other player shoot first

you feel the edge is your way. But
when the other man slaps one on the
green from further back this edge dis
appears. The same thing holds good in
putting. You have a four-foot putt.
and your opponent has one of eight
feet. You think you have him. Then
he holes the eight-footer, and when he
does your shorter putt is now an en-
tirely different problem. In place of
having the hole almost won, you sud-
denly realize you must hole pretty
good one to scrape out a half.
Suppose he misses? Well, you ex-
pected him to miss any way, and you
still have to hole out to win. I'll ad-
nit I'd rather have a four-foot putt to
hole than an eight-foot putt But I've
seen many match turn upside down
just because the golfer with the longer
putt rammed the ball into the cup.
Psychology plays big part In golf
and the big psychological advantage

doing the first damage. Hand the shock

artificial left-hand spin to the ball as
its speed dies away at the hole.
Here is the difference: Instead of
placing the small finger of the right
hand over the first finger Of the left, as
in the old grip, the first finger of the
left hand is placed over the little finger
of the right. direct inversion Of the
ordinary overlapping grip. This pro-
cedure forces the right hand to domi-
nate the grip instead of the left, which
would ordinarily produce pull or hook
In long shot. But in putting, with
its comparatively short swing it pro-
duces the opposite effect. The right
hand is constantly working against a
stiff left elbow, and completely stiff
ened left side, and 1t forces the club
through the line in the direction of the
hole, making 1t almost impossible. unless
the body is rotated. to bring the club
around to the left of the line. It works
and works admirably, as 1t must do to
have been adopted for constant use by
such top-notchers of the game as Jones,
Farrell, Armour and Hunter.
Just at this time of year, when put
ting greens generally have not been
rolled, putting is more or less a mat
ter of chance. but on the smooth green's
of Summer. this grip will work wonders
in providing insurance against hooked
puts.

THEY say there's nothing new I'M

alleged new grips and stances

But lately new putting grip has

to obviate that old evil of missed puts

suIting hillside with grass. Tearing
down of the hill will remove the prob
ability of good tee shots being destroyed
by striking the hill, which protruded
slightly into the line of play. Compare
lively few other changes have taken
place at Washington during the Win
ter.
Arthur Mattingly of Columbia is one
Of the old guard of Washington golfers.
He has been a member Of Columbia for
more years than he cares to mention
and is one of the last remaining players
Of that group of illustrious golfers who
were headed in skill by DR.. Lee l.. Har-
ban two decades and more ago. Lately
Mattingly has been experimenting with
various lengths of shafts for his golf
clubs and has arrived at the conclusion
that for him long shaft and a slow
swing work out better than shorter
shaft of regulation length and a fast
swing. Just now Mattingly's wooden clubs
measure 48 inches in length, and 1t takes
a man of his size to swing them accu-
rately. His irons are of corresponding
length and, all In all, his clubs are I'M
doubtedly longer In the shaft than those
of any other golfer in Washington.
1t is true that Mattingly has length
| ened his tee shot by the use of these
long shafts, but ne also claims his ac-
curacy has not been disturbed by the
change His friends claim that Matt"
does his greatest damage on the golf
| course with an old, antedated putter.
which he uses In most unorthodox style,
but with the greatest efficiency. He is
one of the finest putters to be found
around Washington.
To secure these results his putter has
| only its heel resting on the ground, with
! the toe cooked up in the air, and he
strokes the ball with fine touch. The
| first finger of his right hand is down
the putter shaft. and with this unusual
! style he has acquired a reputation as a
putter second to none at Columbia.
Bannockburn is moving slowly ahead
with the construction program outlined
| early in the Winter by DR.. 7. J. w.
Brown, who Is in charge of the course.
The dam constructed just back of the
seventeenth green is nearly completed,
and DR.. Brown hopes for sufficient
/ flow of water in the creek In front of
| the green to make small lake on the
near side of the putting surface, and
convert the hole into a real water hole.

TT doesn't look so tough, but the
terrifying stretch Of rough and
bunkers. otherwise the third hole
L at Burning Tree, has come to be
known as a potent score wrecker
Good golf around Washington finds one
of It's peaks at Burning Tree and the
third hole is on the topmost rung of
the ladder Of difficulty, Notwithstanding
It's inoccuous appearance.
There's an old golf axiom that q
man who is playing well scores par on
all the short holes Of golf course.
Yet. many a man has had a fine round
of golf at Burning Tree and been I'M
able to pick up par on this difficult
l45-yard stretch.
Set down In a forest of pines, with
background of tall, thin conifers, the
third green at Burning Tree presents
one of the prettiest pictures to be found
at any local golf course. But its diff

Is there a mashie shot hole that bristles

In front of the terraced green is a
deep bunker, so deep that a man play

the green at all. At the left stretches

Tilden lost enough points In the
singles on close decisions to have made
M the difference between the winning

Big Bill smiled and seemed to be en-
Toying himself. >.
To those familiar with his play, 1t
was obvious that the lanky Ph1ladel-
phian was not up to the mark. He was
pale and a little thinner than usual

- ONE time ago in a tournament a
contestant was talking over the
next days match with a friend.
~ "You ought to have at least an
even chance" the friend re-
marked. "even If he can outdrive you
10 or Is yards. That won't give him
any big advantage"
"On the other hand" the contestant
said, II think it gives me the advan-
tage. I'd rather play first every time
and let my opponent play the odd,
provided, of course, I can get home
with practically the same club he has
to use. / don't know how others feel
about it, but I'd rather shoot first. 1t
makes It lot easier"
There Is something more than idle
chatter to this point of view. If the
player who plays first happens to drop
his approach on the green anywhere
near the cup he makes it much harder
for an opponent who has to follow this
effort. But suppose the one who plays
first misses the green? Even here there
is tendency on the part of the second
player, the longer hitter, to play things
safe, to steer the ball, to be sure Of
reaching the green.
The difference Is about this-tne one
WHO plays IISt Is nOIe likely 10 tly W
play just normal golf shot to the
green. He has nothing else on his
mind. The one who plays the odd car
ries the temptation to play against the
other fellows shot. If the other fellow
is close to the cup, or even comfortably
close, there is tendency to tighten up,
to over try. If the other party misses
the green there Is the feeling that one
now has to play it safe and be sure
to reach some part of the green, and
this feeling often leads to an attempt
to steer the ball.
Extra length. of course. is big fac
tor on longer holes. 1t is also a fac
tor where the shorter player has to use
an iron or spoon against mashie.
But even this doesn't always follow.
Few who saw 1t will forget the hard
match Bobby Jones had against Dick
Jones at Baltusrol In the first round of
the 1925 championship. Bobby con-
fesses that it. was one Of the hardest
matches he ever had to play And he
gives the reason-on hole after hole he
was frequently 40 or so yards past
Dick from the tee. II would come up
with a mashie shot to play while he
