Washington's Last Big Week
Of Golf Sees Three Events

w YASHINGTONS last big week
M of golf begins today on a
wide front as the individuals
who hoped to say 1t with
brides began the attack for the junior
championship at Columbia; woman
golfers were playing in tourney at
Congressional, and scores of players were
practicing over the course of the Ban
nockburn Golf Club in preparation for
the Forthcoming invitation tournament
of the club, scheduled to start next
Wednesday.
Late this afternoon Chairman Fred
Byrne of the Bannockburn Golf Com
mittee will emerge from a huddle with
a group of his fellow club men, holding
in his hands list of the linksmen who
will attempt to qualify over the rugged
Bannockburn course for the match play
rounds in the tourney on Friday and
Saturday. Up to an early hour today
more than 200 names had been received
for the event, while the names that were
expected to be received probably will
push the list Of entries well over the
$50 mark.
Inasmuch as there will be only five
flights to qualify-which means 80 play
ers, and they must qualify under the
Pinehurst system Tin the fights to
which their handicapS rate them)-it
already Is certain that Bannockburn'S
hills and daleS will see some merry
struggling on Wednesday and Thursday
as the knights of the driver and mashie
attempt to adhere closely to par. The
course is not in the best of condition.
What course could be after the pro-
longed drought? But the committees
in charge of the event are cheerful and
are moving toward the coming tourna-
ment with that spirit and optimism
which always makes the Bannockburn
tourney one Of the outstanding events
OF the season about the Capital.
Over at Congressional Mrs. H. A.
Knox OF the host club was in charge of
q one-day match play against par tour
ney, staged by the Women's District
Golf Association as one Of the final
events on their schedule, while at Co
lumbia the junior golfers of the club
were to qualify today and conclude one
match play round for the junior title.
In this event Tommy Bones, already
holder OF the Congressional Junior title,
will attempt to make it a double. He Is
one of the favorites to win.

Last season Charles M. Colbert
made a rather suspicious debut in
the major leagues, playing practical
~ the full season G46 games with
out getting shipped back to Roches-

mediocre stick work and fielding.
This season Gabby Street, who
succeeded Bill McKechnie as man
ager of the Cardinals, found a much
improved player, for Colbert is hit
ting 60 or 10 points higher than
he did last year, and the experience
of one year alongside the flashy
Frank Frisch has evidently helped
his fielding materially. Last year
he made as errors, more than any
other inflelder in the National
