| By GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Practical prizes instead Of cups,
trophies, ETC.. will be awarded
winners in the Indian Spring
Country Club golf tournament
which will be held May 1922.
Those in charge of the Indian
Spring tourney believe this policy
will strike a responsive chord
among local golfers and prove the
incentive for a record field.
Need Rain, Sunshine
Dick Watson, greenskeeper at
Indian Spring, expects to have the
course in supreme shape for the
tourney. The green's need little
improvement, but the fairways re-
quire more rain and warm sum
shine.
Entries close at p. M, May
16, with qualifying rounds ON
May 10 and 20 and match play
rounds May FL and ~. The
privileges of the club are ex.
tended all entrants on Monday,

qualify for match play.
At the present time, j. Monro
Hunter, Of the Indian Spring
Club, is perhaps playing the best
of local pros. Of the three tour.
naments held by the Middle At
lantic professional golfers, Hunter
has taken two outright and tied
for the other.
Monday, while playing the
Washington Golf and Country
Club course with his son, he scored
fine 70, two over par. This was
the day when a high wind blew
golf balls away from their desired
landing places. Hunter will come
in for a lot of attention during
the senior-pro tournament of the
pros Monday at the Chevy Chase
Club.
Walter McCallum's 70, which
merited him the qualifying
medal in the Washington Golf
and Country Club tourney, was
fine piece of gOlfing work.
His score was three strokes over
par, but he was forced to battle
stiff wind and play under sum
mer rules" He would have scored
II except for SIS on the last two
holes. At the seventeenth his
drive struck a rock, while he g.
putted the eighteenth after 800
yard drive. His card:
