BUT ONE OVER PAR
IN PRACTICE ROUND
Has 80 on Last Nine-ThinkS
1t Would Be Glorious
for Jones to Win.

~ the Associated Press.
~ PHILADELPHIA, September 19.-
- Harrison r. Johnston is ready to
battle to the last hole in defense
of his United States amateur
golf championship in the tournament at
the Merton Cricket Club next week
But he said he could not help but think
1t would be a glorious performance for
Jones If Bobby should put over the
grand slam In golf by winning the
amateur title.
The St Paul star showed in his first
practice round over the championship
course yesterday that he is prepared TO
give Jones and the other national and
international stars in the field plenty
of trouble. Playing in foursome with
Richard A. Jones of New York as his
partner, Johnston went out in 36 and
returned in SO for a card OF II, one over
par.
This was two strokes better than the
incompatible Bobby has done in either
of his two practice rounds The At
lanta barrister, who is seeking his fourth
major title this year, was not shooting
so well yesterday, taking 40-38-78.
on wednesday he negotiated the course
in 70,
Johnston believes that a score Of 142
will be a strong bid for medalist honors
in the tournament, and that 100 PROP
ably will be the highest score to make
the thirty second place in the qualify
Il am going to try my hardest to du-
plicate my victory for the national
amateur championship Johnston said

New construction work looking toward
Improvement in the courses for next
year already has started on three OF the
local golf courses.
Members of the washington Golf and
Country Club who played the Virginia
layout yesterday were surprised at the
speed with which Greenkeeper Wnaley
and his crew of workmen had skinned
the turf from the ninth green and were
well along with the job of returning the
green with sod from the turf garden on
the top of Old Mount Rtxey Hill. Over
at Columbia work is going on toward
construction of a new tenth green,
which will be approximately the same
distance from the tee as the old tenth
green, but will be more modern green,
constructed with a built-up front and
with more modern bunkering 1t is
planned later in the year to reconstruct
the ninth and seventeenth greens at
Columbia also.
out at Congressional workmen are
busy clearing and leyeling the hillside
over near the present eleventh green
where the new tenth green will be To-
Gated and where the new eleventh fair
way will cut its way down along the
ditch line toward the present tenth
green, which will become the eleventh
under the scheme for reconstruction,
already announced.
The ninth green at Washington, be-
cause of its poor drainage, is the only
one which has gone bad this year. Not
withstanding the intense heat Whaley
has been able to keep the green's in top
notch condition throughout the Summer
months by raising the blades on the
mowers and letting the grass grow long.
This has resulted in heavy greens, but
the grass has been retained. Believing
that immediate measures were neces-
ssry to bring back the ninth green, he
skinned the old turf from the green
Yesterday and today was reSodding with
turf from the hilltop garden.
The change in the tenth at Columbia
will be somewhat radical in character
The old green has not been changed
since the course was built two decades
ago and is laid on hard surface. The
new green will be considerably built up
at the front and will be bunkered at
the sides, making a pitch shot neces-
sary. AS the green now Is built run
ming ball Is as good as a pitched ball.
No change will be made in the sur
face of the ninth green at Washington
The new turf is simply being laid down
in place of the old turf, although better
drainage arrangements are being pro-
vided.
Mrs. Frank r. Keefer, president Of
the Women's District Golf Association
urges all women with handicaps of II
and more to be ready for play in the
Corby Cup tourney at Columbia mex
