ordered to command the Marine Bar

The National Capital detachment of

Legislation providing equal ration
allowance for retired enlisted men of

into law, will increase the present al
lowance for rations being now paid to
retired men of the corps. 1t has fair
chance of passage either at this session
or the expected extra session OF Con-
gress. In addition there is probability
that the pay of enlisted men of the
services may be increased on par with
the increased high cost of living. The
present allowance for retired enlisted
man (for all branches of the Service) E,
Is 80 cents per day, not per meal, but
per day. This allowance for retired
men has remained stationary for APP
proximately 30-odd years. The present

A GOAL set by greenkeepers of

"A years ago with the backing of
the Department of Agriculture

Scott. greenkeeper of the Baltimore
Country Club.
Dissatisfied with the putting quail

bent is an easy victim to the brown
patch disease, officials of the depart

is a native grass. and which makes

For years Fits was with the Depart

the grass was looked upon as little more
than weed, but weed which made
good putting surface in the Spring.
Greenkeepers then hoped that ''poa

that the bent grass might spread before
the advent of hot weather in the late
Spring. But now they have devoted their

Evans companions in misfortune at

The honor of returning the lowest &C.

over the Omaha Field Club course. A
stroke back of him was Johnny Rogers
of Denver, while Jock Hendry shot a
neat 142 at Minneapolis.
1t remained for Lighthouse Harry

Finkenstadt entered and played in
the national open championship at
Columbia in 1921, qualifying with Wal
ter Hagen and scoring a rs for the
medal round, which was one stroke
better than Hagen and two strokes bet
ter than Bobby Jones. He later with
drew from the championship, and the
following year left Washington for the
Middle West.
For three years Bob Finkenstadt was
the links king of Washington, winning
many of the tournaments and perform
ing in the fashion which set up Roland
r. Mackenzie as the emperor of the
game locally three years after Finken-
stadt left. In those days Mackenzie
was a tow-headed lad in knee pants,
gradually absorbing the fundamentals
of the game from Fred Mcleod and
laying the foundation of the game that
was later to develop into one of ma
tional magnitude.
After Flnkenstadt left the Capital
Chris Dunphy came along, and for two
years his star was supreme. Then
came Mackenzie and later George j,
Voigt. But the old-timers always have
maintained that If Finkenstadt had re-
manned in Washington he would at
least have gained as much prominence
In golf as these players. He will play
in the Columbia event along with a
field Of brilliant golfers from every Sec
ton of the Eastern United States.
The rumor which has come to Wash
ington that the Maryland Country Club
will not hold an invitation tourney this
year has definitely been put at rest by
announcement by the club golf COM
nnittee that such an event will be held
at the club on July IS, Is and 81. In
past years from 40 to so Washington
players have competed in this tourna-
nent.
