History of Course.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.


golfer. j. B. Riggs of Baltimore
playing in a four-ball match with
CORTLAND Parker, R..H. Sayre and
]. w. Hundley, finally has accom-
plisheo the feat Of making the
thirteenth in one stroke-a stunt
that never has been done before
within the recollection of the golf
shop staff or the club.
The hole measures 1875 yards from
the tee and is one of the hardest one
shot affairs anywhere around Washing
ton. 1t usually is played with a mid
iron by the better players, who have
been knocking golf balls toward the
same green for many years But until
Riggs came along TO hole q wooden club
shot for the ace, no man had made the
hole in one.
And to go further, Riggs played the
four short holes at Chevy Chase in
stroke better than par, which also is a
considerable achievement, fer any play
who makes the four short holes in a
total Of IL strokes is playing lot of
golf. Riggs scored them in IL strokes
c
played the para ninth in strokes Sc
cured par on the tenth and then
capped the climax by holing the thir-
tenth in ! stroke, even though the bal
ance of his card was dotted with 6's
and rs and his score itself was well up
toward the century mark.

trees, hit a tree with his second shot,
was trapped and finally lost the hole
to par 4. Barnett was up on Betsch-
Ter all the way, but the sturdy Balti-
