By George A. Simpson

Il F..
Members of the Congress
sional Country Club will well
come the announcement that
the lengthy 623-yard No. 10
hole has been raised to a par
6. Heretofore, it has been
listed as a par 5 hole.
However. many members COM
plained that the distance was too
long to set down as a par AFFAIR
and few were those who holed out
IN five strokes. 1t is the longest
hole around Washington and now
the only par hole of this vicinity
The adding of one stroke to par
for the long tenth at Congressional
has also lifted par for the course
from 70 to 73.
The Congressional layout has
been given q complete renovation
AZ some holes have been length
ened and others shortened, al
though the present yardage Is
only IA in excess Of the old
distance, 1886 yards. New sand
pite have been installed and tees
and greens moved.
The most noticeable change is
on the number one hole which Is
now a dog leg hole. The green has
been shifted to the northeast of
the barn on the right while the left
is now rough. There are some
trees and yawning sand trap on
the left to catch hooked drive.
Martin F. Mccarthy, of Beaver
Dam, doesn't tell any bear" golf
stories, but he steps forward with
the statement that wild deer
abound on the Buena Vista pa
course.
Mccarthy, who won the tourney
by defeating Lindsey Scott, also of
Beaver Dam, in the finals, remarks
that one morning three deer ambled
onto the course while he was play
ing. Upon sighting humans, how
ever. the deer retreated to the
woods.
The Beaver Dam player praised
the Buena Vista course where
George Diffenbaugh. now assistant
pro at Indian Spring, was once the
club pro. Mccarthy also was shoot
ing at the course record in semi.
final match when he collected 81
one above the record. He holed
out all puts.
Mccarthy will be one Of Beaver

TAFT COMES HOME
IN GLOWING HEALTH
Chief Justice Refreshed by
His Summer in Canada.
Ready for Work.

By the Associated Press.
With an even, easy stride, Chief
Justice Taft yesterday afternoon walked
through the Union Station, where last
June, when he was starting on his va
cation, he used wheel chair to reach
his train.
He was returninT from Summer at
Murray Bay, Canada.
The chief justice, who was 70, Sep
TENDER is, was in cheerful mood as
he stepped from the train and walked
through the long shed and station,
explaining between characteristic
chuckles that Mrs. Taft could not re-
sist the feminine temptation to shop
In New York City and had stopped
over there to replenish her wardrobe.
Inquiries About Docket.
He made minute inquiry concerning
the condition of the docket in the SUI
preme Court, stating that he wanted to
report himself ready for work"
Mr.. Taft has not been idle during
the Summer. He has already examined
many of the 262 petitions for review
filed during the recess. In these the
court, during the two weeks of its new
term beginning Monday must Winnow
the wheat from the chaff. and select
those which present controversies it
must consider on their merits.
The chief justice stopped on the way
70 the taXlcab stand to check nine
trunks and chatted with the baggage
agent. AS he looked through his purse
and pockets for American money, he
remarked that the traveller always got
the worst of 1t in exchanging money Of
one nation for that of another.
Plenty Of Tips.
The red caps who carried several
large handbags from the train en-
gagged In the money exchanging bust
ness, converting into American currency
Canadian money, which the chief JUS
tice generously added to his tip.
While Mr.. Taft shows loss of girth
and some weight, his complexion was
excellent and he seemed to have found
new physical strength during his
absence.
With the cooperation of the eight
associate justices, he has succeeded in
removing congestion from the docket
OF the Supreme Court and in bringing
its business SO nearly to date that the
court early next year will have diff
Guilty in finding cases to consider. To-
morrow he will hold his annual con-
ference with Federal Circuit Court
judges to consider the condition of
business in the Federal courts through
out the country.
These conferences already have
brought about marked improvement,
and the forthcoming one will devote
three days to an effort, with the as
sistance Of Attorney General Mitchell,
to devise means for further improve
ment.
