ington Golf and Country Club
who has not figured so extern
siyely In the tournaments about
washington becsuse heretofore his
available time for golf has been lin
tied. But II he plays in q few of the
tournaments near the Capital this year
those who observe his play are going
to see lot Of golf. His name is James
D. Herman and he halls from Dayton.
Ohio, where he used to play at the
Miami Valley Country Club.
Jimmie Herman is one of those men
who believe in the theory of the mighty
fail from the tee, which has the harm
less habit of so shortening the second
shot that scoring Is fairly easy. In
few words, he is a big hitter from the
tee, much after the manner of the men
who have been winning tournaments of
recent years. Just to prove that he can
do bit Of golf when he wants to step
out and show his stuff, Jimmie showed
D. c. Gruver and Dr.. T. D. Webb
piece OF high-clsss scoring yesterday
afternoon at Washington.
The big hitter from Ohio. who Is at
tached TO the Capitol stah, stepped out
ton and stood on the eighteenth tee
needing q 4 for q 80. II matters not
that he pulled his tee shot at the eight
zenith . wee bit and took a on the
hole. The other eight holes we're per-
feet and he might have had 81 had
one Of his puts dropped. Mixed in
the SO that he registered over the last
nine holes, where plenty of grief awaits
the player who strays from the narrow
line to the green, was an eagle on the
fifteenth, where Herman knocked a
brassie second 10 feet from the pin and
ran down the putt for 3 on this par
5 hole. He had previously sunk putt
for q deuce on the short eleventh and
his puts for brides on the tenth and
twelfth had missed the cup by inches.
His round Of golf yesterday netted him
q form-htting H. golf good encugn to
win in any company, and unaided he
beat Gruver and Webb, one OF the
toughest combinations at Washington,
by 2 and l. His II included at the
eighth hole, where his second shot went
over the green and his third shot hit
tree.
Herman won the qualifying round at
Woodmont last year and is playing to-
morrow in the tournament Now Wood
