ton team TO play in the national
public links tournament will do
50 only after a thorough and
equitable trial.
James ~, Preston, generalisSimo
Of the tourney, has decided that
NO partiality will be shown golfers
from either Rock Creek or East
pPotomac, This problem, If it might
be called that, has been taken
care Of IN = simple and fair man
ner.
Following the preliminary SO
holes at. each Of the two links,
the 10 qualifiers from each will
then play their final, SO holes over
the other course; thus the 10
players who qualify at Rock Greek
viii play their final SO over East
Potomac, and the latter will re-
verse 8his procedure.
! Here's what Preston says Of this
ARRANGEMENT:
It's the only fair and impair
tial ray to play this thing. 1T
matters not whether we have
two gOlfefs from each course or
whether they're all from the
same course what we want is
the four hes kefs patrOnizing
the publlCs courses ON our wash
1ngtOn teanf. And the fairest
/ way to do this is to have the
quaiifiers play the same dis
tance over each course.
In this way the Rock Creek
players who are used to shooting
over q 68 course will have to
play the longer East Potomac
layout with its par ~ twice, the
same as the Potomac players
viii have to do. Under the old
plan the Rock Greek players had
an advantage by playing only Is
holes over the long course and
5A over their own favOrite short
Nlayout. while the East Potomac
players thus were under SINH.
4 lar disadvantage.
Players at both Rock Creek and
East Potomac are busy this week
familiarizing themselves with the
two courses. preferably getting in
their most advantageous lickS
over the course other than the
one they usually play. It is the
consensus of opinion among fol-
lowers Of municipal golf that it
will take about 308 to make the
Washington team.
Another miniature golf
course comes into existence
tonight when the Chevy
D Chase Lake course. Just north
of Chevy Chase Lake will be
opened to the public. This
newest Ofdhe popular putting
layOuts is said to be one Of

and his brother, whitney.
