The Manor Club will remodel
the fifth tee and fairway on the
second nine and the changes win
be welcomed by the members.
The erection of a new tee viii
lengthen the hole and the fairway
will be widened so drives won't
carr into the woods on the right.
Work on blasting the stunaps to
clear the woods on the second
nine has also begun. Bent tees
are also to be placed on the inside
a1ine.
No alterations, other than the
fifth, are planned by Manor's
greens committee, headed by
Dave Thomson. The fairways on
the second nine are pinched for
space but accurate hitters are
seldom endangered by the trees
or llnderbrusi1.
Jim North can prOpel q
deadly putter under stress.
g. w. Manning, Wilson Bar
rett and G. I'll. Corner, his fell
low club members at Manor,
have profound respect for
North's skill on the velvcty
surface.
The group were playing Manor
and had finished the first nine.
Somehow, the discussion arose
about bets on one-putt green's on
the second nine. North talked
with his putter and his con1pan-
ions regretted they ever limited
about wagers.
For North ran away from his
opposition by scoring five straight
one-putt greens and finishing
with 81 for the second nine.
Sydney C. Moore, assistant pro
at Congressional, who scored 154
in the pro medal play tourney at
Pinehurst, ran aground of mis-
haps after scoring a 36 for the
first nine. He started off with
a 6 on the par 4 first hole, but
\ recovered TO gam his 90. 5s
Then he couldn't overcome
his troubles, finishing with q
as, although he marked mp
five brides. Two additional
skies nlarred his card.
Gene Larkin, assistant pro at
Chevy Chase, who scored ISL,
fell down in his putting on the
Pin9hurst sand greens. Larkin
leaves soon for Florida where he
will fill a winter appointment as
pro at the Highland Park course.
Larkin is the rising young pro
who is on the verge of splashing
into major ranks. He has all the
shots. the technique and tenn
permanent. ALI he needs is ex-
perience. He will take Elwood
Poore, another assistant pro at
Chevy Chase. with him to Flor
ida.
Walter Reds" Cunningham,
pro at Burning Tree, scored 159
in the pro tourney at PinehurSt.
He had a bad round Of 80 for the
first 10, but pulled himself to-
gether to chisel a neat 76 on
the final IS.
Walter Johnson, manager
of the Washington baseball
team, may object to golf dur
ing the regular season but he
doesn't mind playing an Oc-
Casional game in the Off-sea-
son. Yesterday, he paired
with Peter Jackson, Of Con-
gressional, and they defeated
Emmett Flaherty and Repre-
sentative Thomas S. McMiI-
Ian of South Carolina, 4 and
8, in a match at Congress
sional.
1t was the second time John.
son had played golf this year
and he wouldn't mention his
score, only to say that he played
poorly. He did, however, crack
some long drives that went for
800 yards. He missed his drive
on the fifth, but hit his second
for 800 yards to the green. He
walloped a 3OO-yard tee shot on
the long twelfth hole. johnson
wore regular street garb. Jack.
son had the best medal round
with 70.
Charlie Penna, assistant pro at
Congressional, and Comptroller
General McCarl teamed to defeat
Archie Clark, another assistant
pro at Congressional, and C.
Cooper Lightbown, 2 UP. Penna
had the best round with rs and
Clark followed with a n. Nc

Jack Cummings, popular Catho-
lie University alumuS, and DR..
Charles L. Dugan played Con-
