- EVERAL years of rearranging the
course on paper seeking a way
to so change the layout of the
~ holes that the ninth hole and the
tenth tee will be brought near the
clubhouse have resulted in discovery
by the green's committee of the Wash
ington Golf and Country Club that a
way can be devised to bring about this
much-Sought end. A plan to make the
two mines begin and end near the club
house has been devised by Charles A.
Beach, the club greenkeeper, and has
been laid before Chairman McClenahan
of the greens committee. McClenahan
declares the scheme Is good and prob
ably is the best of several ideas that
have been presented to him over the
last five years, but that it will necessi-
tate such a complete change Of the
holes 1t may not come as development
of the early future.
Washington long has realized the
need for a ninth hole at some point
near the clubhouse With heavy week
end play, particularly on Saturday aft
ernoons, the course now is damned to
the limit on busy days. Many golfers
leave the first tee and go to the thir-
tenth tee to play six holes before fac
ing the crowd at the first hole. But this
is not satisfactory. and the green's COM
mittee has been searching for a scheme
which will not involve too much rear
rangement and will put the ninth green
back at the clubhouse. The plan evolved
by Beach uses the present sixteenth hole
as the ninth and completely changes

ball. Note how far after it 1t has
travelled. Yet Willie's hips at this
point parallel the direction line.
Note, too, that his head Is still down
and his left leg braced.
The smaller sketch shows Macfar-
lane at the finish Of his drive. It
finds him facing the hole. This I'm
ish is caused entirely by the ire
mendous pull of the elubhead after
contact. It swings up and around
over his left shoulder and pulls him
into the position shown. This pull
alone causes the hips to turn. They
do it automatically because there is
nothing else for them to do when
the stroke is perfectly played. Don't
try to make them pivot. They'll do
1t without any effort.
Enjoy the thrill Of long, straight
drives. Write Sol Metzger, care of
this paper, for free leafiet on driving.

ness of its grip on first place, as the
King Pin five was idle due to a post
ponement with Mount Rainier.
Lucky Strike moved into a percentage
tie for second place by thrice trouncing
Meyer Davis. Arthur Logan led the vic
tors with a 376 total. Parkway Filling
Station made it a three-way deadlock
for the runner-up berth by taking two
from GEORGETOWN Recreation with a 612
game in the middle Carroll DAILY rolled
1856 game and 3s6 set for Parkway,
losing a big chance to go over the 400
mark. After 129 and 155 efforts, he
dropped to 102 in his last session. G.
w. Smith bagged three by the forfeit
route over Service Cafeteria, with Brad
Mandley contributing a 352 set.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-22
Hagen Still Great.

Third place is given Walter Hagen.
Some might rank the old duke higher
because of his victory in the British
open. But Hagen did little to add to
his laurels after winning at Muirfield
He was outside the first 10 in the
United States open and conquered only
a few fields during the Winter. The
Haig still is a great golfer, but on the
seasons play undeserving to be placed
ahead of Smith or Armour
Leo Diegel is ranked next to Hagen
He was fifth in the national open; won
in the Canadian and played some
splendid golf in Britain, being one of
the stars in the Ryder Cup matches.
He Is one of the five to maintain a
scoring average of less than Is strokes
per round throughout the season.
Gene SaraZen was consistently bril-
liant throughout the year. Gene won
several important events In Florida and
again played sensationally in Britain.
He tied for third place in the national
open and with any fortune might have
won that title. Densmore Shute, who
tied with Sarazen at Winged Foot, is
ranked Immediately after Gene. Shute
has an average of 70 1927 strokes for
81 rounds of tournament play and
played we'll in the Western as well as
winning the Ohio open.
AL Espinosa, who tied in the ma
tional with Bob Jones, is rated seventh.
Ordinarily tieing for first place in the
national entities a player to a better
ranking. But the fact that Espinosa
broke so badly in the play-of with
Jones and did nothing else of i'm
portance In sectional events drops him
far down the list. Wild Bill Mehl-
horn, through his victory in the
metropolitan open, some ord-break-
ing scores during the Winter and a low
average for 90 rounds of play, is en-
titled to a place among the first 10.
Cooper Placed Ninth.
Harry Cooper, who started poorly but
finished with a rush to win several
minor titles, is given ninth place in
the field. Toward the finish of the
Northern season, Cooper was shooting
as steady golf as any performer in the
game. Bob Cruickshank is awarded
tenth place The wee Scot. like Cooper,
did not find himself until the Summer
was we'll along, but finished high up in
numerous events, and still is one Of our
best shot makers and tournament per-
formers.
Professional ranking might be made
more thoroughly and satisfactorily had
the 1929 P. G. A. championships been
held at the customary time Of the year.

BUILDING CONTRACTORS BOWLING
LEAGUE.


Although idle the past week, G. A.
Fuller Stone Plant team, defending
champion, held the lead, as the G. H..
Thompkins Co. five could CLEAN but one
victory over the Rudolph e. West team,
which got back on even terms by TAX
ing two victories with totals of 500 or
better. John P. Evans bowlers moved
into a tie with the 1ompkins pinmen
for second place by bagging the last two
from d. c. Butcher Co.
The e. A. Rule club ducked the cellar
in favor of the George A. Fuller Co.
team by taking three close verdicts over
the latter. Homan led the victors. Lake
Stone assumed a 500 percentage mark
by sweeping the set over James Baird
Co. All three games were decided by
narrow margins Goodrick's 124 game
and 329 set helped Southern Asbestos
to take a pair from A. w. Lee. After a
bad start the Asbestos crew hung up
538 and 533 games.

BY FRANCES J. POWERS.

THE fiscal year in professional golf
Is coming to a close, and the
sharpshooters of the clan are
polishing their irons for the
start of another and more lucra-
tive season out on the Pacific Coast,
where parS and brides easily may be
converted into hard money.
The past IL months have seen many
sensational scores turned by the pro-
fsssional stars. many famous figures
slip from the top ranks OF the game
and others come along to replace them.
1t was great year fol, American pro-
feSsionals They won the open cham
pionshipS Of Great Britain, France and
Canada but saw the most coveted of
all honors-the United States open
fall once more to the genius OF the
great amateur, Bobby Jones.
Chief among the surprises OF the year
was the failure of Johnny Farrell to
play up to expected form. Open cham
plon in 1928 and the posSeSsor OF a
great competitive record in 1927, Far
rell was unable TO win single event OF
Importance. His usual fine style and
impeccable putting touch were unable
10 produce a victory and for the first
time in a half dozen years he is not
ranked among the 10 leading pro-
fessionals Of the country.
Smith Much Talked OF.
While Farrell was slipping, young
Horton Smith came along to become
the most talked-of professional in the
game. Not only did Smith win seven
championships during the year but he
also was the low scorer among all the
professionals of the country. This OBJ
server is inclined to rank Horton Smith
IS No. for the professional season
of l928-2o, although there are many
who will disagree with that selection.
Smith not only played well enough TO
win six Winter championships for all
star fields and the French professional
title, but he maintained an average OF
70 Altos strokes per round for 105
competitive marches across some of the
seVerest courses in the world. The
youngSter finished we'll up in almost
every field he entered and taking his
play, day by day, there is little doubt
as to his worthiness of being ranked
FIST.
Tommy Armour of the Tam O'Shanter
Club. Detroit, is given second place in
the rankings. The black Scot won the
Western open with a record score of
273; was right on Leo Diegel'S heels
when the Aqua Caliente pro captured
the Canadian open with 274, and fin-
ished fourth in the national open. Ar
mour also starred along the Winter
trail and was one of the most consistent
workinen in the game. Armour really
played the best golf of his life, even bet
ter than in 1927, when he held the ma
tional open title.

No Conscious Turn
Or Pivot of Hips
BY SOL NIETZGER.

There is no conscious turn or pivot
of the hips at any point in the golf
stroke. The main idea with them is
to slide them along line paralleling
the direction line all through the
downswing. Then the clubhead can
be compelled to hit straight through
the bali and along this direction line.
This applies in all strokes, even the
shorter ones.

lane, former open champion. swing

The two mid-Atlantic tournaments in
progress at the two nearby clubs in
Chevy Chase. Md, were run of today
through weather better suited for a
duck-hunting expedition than a major
golf event. Out at Columbia Mrs. J. NJ.
Haynes, medaliSt in the womanS cham
pionship tourney of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association yesterday, faced Dor
othy Hunter Of Indian Spring in the
first round today, while Virginia Holz-
derber her most persistent rival, met
| Mrs. II. A. Knox in another crucial first
round match. The medal round OF the
| tourney yesterday found the scores
mounting high as the woman players
struggled in a high wind and against
the handicap of keen putting green's.
Mrs Haynes. who Is the Columbia Club
champion, registered sterling IS
through the bad weather to win the
qualifying round by three strokes from
Miss Holzderber, who shot an 88. Scores
of 100 tied for last place in the first
flight, and in the play-off Mrs. Lloyd
Harrison of Baltimore. Mrs. Frank Tom
linson of Columbia and Mrs. L. L. Steele
of Indian Spring won the three places,
with Mrs. H. K. Cornwell and Mrs. w.

tourney Is by far the best group of
players who ever have competed in a
championship division In the classic.
Only one favored entrant. Mrs. w. B.
Jones Of Norfolk, failed TO make the
Richmond, Va, State champion, tele-
graphed early in the day she would
not be able to play because Of illness.
Fifty-five woman players started and
all turned in cards and were paired
today for the match play rounds.
Professional golfers Of the Middle
Atlantic section were playing the first
and second round Of their match play
| championship today over the course of
| the Chevy Chase Club, with Ralph
Beach favored to go far in the title
chase because of his familiarity with
| the course and his sterling score of 70
| yesterday, which won the qualifying
round. They were to play two rounds
of match play today. and will play the
Semi-final rounds of the tourney next
week over a Baltimore course.
Beach formerly was assistant profess
sional at Chevy Chase, and showed his
knowledge of the course yesterday by
scoring a scintillating 80 on the first
nine holes, and got back in 38 for
the card that led the pros IN the medal
round. Glenn s. Spencer Of Baltimore
had u, and there was tie for last

APACHES NEED HOME
AS UNION PARK LOST

Apache foot ballers are casting about
for a new home field following an
nouncement that Union Park Is to be
taken over by a building wrecking COM
pany. The park had been the Apaches'
field for the past three seasons and
had been used by Washington sand
lot athletics since 1928. 1t was the
outgrowth of the old park on Florida
avenue, near Fifteenth street, which
was the first home of the Washing
ton American League base ball team.
Efforts are being made by the Apache
management to secure the new Con.
zaga Field, on Thirty-fourth street near
Benning road. for home games. If this
field Is not obtained, the Apaches may
play the remainder Of their games out
of town until the annual battle with
the champion Mohawks.
It is expected that the Apaches' last
home game in the Union Park will be
November 2. No opponent has been
booked for next Sunday, but negotia-
tons are on with the Hampden team
Of Baltimore.
Northern gridders will. journey to
Baltimore again Sunday, this time to
meet the LanSdowne eleven. Last Sum-
day Northerns suffered ia defeat at
the hands of the Irvington team in the
