Euents for Spring Decision

= TX golf events for men and women
are to be played at the Chevy
Chase Club during the period
from April 90 to June S, accord
ing to the Spring golf schedule an
nounced today by the club golf COM
mittee. The committee is composed Of
Robert Stead, jr., chairman; A. Nc
Cook Dunlop and G. Ashmead Fuller.
The first event on the Spring pro-
gram is the competition for the French
High Commission Cup, match play
rounds for which will be played from
April % to May 10, inclusive. Mem
bers of the club started today their
qualifying play for the match play
rounds and will conclude qualifying on
April g. On the latter date the pair
ings will be made for the first round
match, with 80 entrants to qualify and
play of at handicap match play on a
basis of seven-eighths of the difference
in the respective handicaps. The final
round will be played May 8 or 10.
Chairman Stead today was trying to
find some way to obviate the conflict
in the dates set for the Spring invita-
ton tournament of the Chevy Chase
Club with those set for the Spring in
vitation event of the Baltimore Coun-
try Club. The Baltimore event start"
on May IS and ends May II, while thu
Chevy Chase Club tourney starts %
May IA and ends on May Is. The cor
f1ict of dates undoubtedly will prevent
many golfers from playing in both
Journeys.
The week following is an open date
on the local schedule, since Indian
Spring has abandoned its Spring invi-
tation affair for which it had asked the
dates of May 1923, inclusive. The
Baltimore club already has sent out its
invitations for the tourney, to be played
over the Five Arms course, while the
invitations have not yet gone out for
the Chevy Chase event. In the interest
of all concerned, it is to be hoped some
way may be found to avoid the con-
f1ict Of dates, and Chairman Stead
and his committee are earnestly work.
ing toward that end.
The next event on the Chevy Chase
golf calendar is the competition for
the Victor Kaufman Memorial Day
Cup, to be played May 80. This is an

the four days.
During the week of May 19 woman

tourney for the French High Commits
sion Cup. A qualifying round at 18
holes on May 19 will inaugurate this
tourney, the Is low net scores to qualify
for the match play rounds on the sue
ceeding four days. Seven-eighthS of
the difference in handicaps will apply
in this tourney.
While the men are competing in
their championship tourney, the women
golfers of the club are scheduled to

Cup on June 2, and 4. This is 54-

Is holes to be played each day.
Miller B. STEVENSON, the District
amateur champion, looked at a bit Of
the kind of golf he usually shoots in a
game at Columbia yesterday when Les
ter C. Pate scored consecutive brides
on the twelfth and thirteenth holes.
Pate reached the twelfth green with
a drive and an iron shot and holed
his birdie 4. Then he parked his tee
