~ branches of Uncle Sans civilian
~ services know today how to
make hole in l. To one of
them the hole in that came on the
fourteenth at Burning Tree yesterday
from the club of Joseph E. Davies, for
mer Federal Trade commissioner,
seemed as so much mama from heaven,
while to the other it simply prolonged
golf match that was ultimately won
on the sixteenth hole.
Dawes has been playing golf long
time. He used to play at Chevy Chase,
but in late years he has confined his
links activities almost exclusively to
Burning Tree. Yesterday he and the
genial mick" Longworth, presiding
elder of the House of Representatives,
thought they might have chance TO
beat Walter r. Tuckerman and Robert
P. Lamont, Secretary of Commerce, who
halls from Chicago, where golf is just
a routine of the day around Lake Forest
and Winnetka.
Tuckerman and Lamont were leading
as Davies and Longworth prepared TO
play the fourteenth They thought they
might have chance to win the four
tenth, but they hardly expected an
an iron club and before the aStoniShed
eyes of the car of the House and the
man who holds the strings of Uncle
Sans foreign commerce in his hands
the ball popped into the hole for an ace.
But Tuckerman is an old campaigner
of many years of golf. That ace didn't
disturb him at all. He breezed back
over the last nine in "a strokes-two
under par-and he and Lamont won
the match by and 2. Tuckerman
shot score of IA for the round, after
getting out in an Indifferent 40. Davies
scored an 88, and Longworth and La
mont were SO and 100, respectively.
The fourteenth hole at Burning Tree is
148 yards in length.
T OTIS of things happened on golf
IL courses about Washington yeSter-
day. There were all sorts of tour
namentS from tombstone contests-ap-
propriate for the dayS-to blindfold
driving competitions.
Over at Washington two golfing gents
who seldom have figured in the list of
winners in competitions were happy as
they went home from the club, for both
had their names in the prize list. Two
weeks ago Charles T. Claggett, execu-
tive of the local telephone company,
broke 80 for the first time, and yester-
day he continued the improved brand
of golf he has been shooting this year
by winning the eighth flight in the
miniature tourney staged by the club.
1t was the second victory Claggett has
scored in a month, for he won medal
play event three weeks ago. For Frank
G. Addison, however, his win of the
consolation of the eighth flight was his
first victory in tournament. Here are
