n Senior Golf Association Of the
Chevy Chase Club, already has
started looping of handicaps Of the
senior golfers on the basis Of the scores
turned in this season. But. Gen.
Shanks does not believe In arbitrary
reducing of handicaps without reason
Where he has knocked stroke or two
from the handicaps Of some players,
he has increased the handicap of
others. Here are the reductions: George
H. Myers, from IA to IL: John j.
Hamilton, from IA to 8; Gen. Shanks,
from Is to 10; Gen. H. p. Mccain, from
to 6; Dr. G. Brown Miller, from 10
to 9; Col. c. B. Drake, from IL to 10.
Increases In handicaps have been
made as follows: Col. Edward Clifford,
from Z to 8; DR.. r. w. Baker, from 8
to 8; Maj H A. Gillis, 10 to IL; Gen.
B. F. Cheathan, from 13 to Is; James
A. Emery, from IS to 18; Graham H.
Powell. from 20 to "a; G. L. Frailey,
from to 10.
That Washington course must be a
tough layout for the woman golfers
about the Capital. Fifty-eight of the
ington played in the Phyllis Keeler Miller
Memorial Trophy tourney yesterday and
not one of them broke 90. In fact, none
of them reached this mark. The best
gross scores registered were the els
made by Mrs. Betty P. Meckley Of In
dian Spring, holder of the District wom-
ems title, won on the Washington course
last year, and Miss Winnifred Faunce.'
These two tied for the gross prize and
will play off the tie at later date.
The Memorial Trophy was won by
Mrs. James L. FieSer, member OF the
Washington Club, who registered SO,
aided by a handicap of 21 to score a
net II. Players from the Washington
Club finished first and second in the net
competition, for Mrs. Richard N. Sutton
was second, with card of 103-21-S2.
In third place was Mrs. Frank r. Keefer
president of the District Women's Golf
Association. with a card Of 95-12-S3.
Mrs. j. F. Gross of Indian Spring
scored birdie on the first hole by the
simple expedient of knocking her sec
ond shot close enough to hole the putt.
Mrs. H. B. Hird of Manor, vice presi-
dent of the women's golf organization,
scored birdie on the eleventh hole.
Beaver Dam has definitely decided
not to hold an invitation tourney this
year. NJ. H. Maier, chairman of the
Golf Committee, explains that the con-
dition of the course will not permit
holding of a. big tourney. The second
nine at Beaver Dam Is only two years
old, but is in fairly good condition.
a n EMBERS Of the Executive Com
M mittee Of the District Golf AS
sociation will gather today at
the Manor Club to demon
strate their ability to play the game
they administer around the National
Capital to break bread with the presi-
dent Of the association and discuss sew
eral matters pending before the associa-
ton after dinner tonight.
Originally scheduled two weeks ago,
the meeting Of the association was post
poned until today, when the Executive
Committee members will be the guests
Of D. L. Thomson, president of the asso-
citation. Those who have been asked to
attend the meeting are Clyde B. Asher,
first vice president; Robert Stead, jr.,
second vice president; DR.. William C.
Barr, secretary-treasurer; Albert e.
Steinem, DR.. Bruce L. Taylor and DR..
James T. McClenahan.
Matters to come before the associa-
ton for settlement include the project
to stage under District Golf Association
auspices an interscholastic tournament
next year, in addition TO the team
championship for the Dawes Trophy,
and the application Of the Kenwood
Country Club for membership.
Thomson believes the District aSso-
citation should sponsor and stage
an interscholastic championship of
Washington and surrounding terri
tory, open to students at all pre-
paratory schools, as well as stu
dents at the public high schools in the
Capital. This would include such
schools as Dewitt Prep, Episcopal High
ard all preparatory schools within 10
miles of the District Of Columbia. An
interschoiastic championship has been
held for several years, but the young
sterS have complained of inadequate
course facilities and an unregulated
tournament. The tourney last year was
held at East Potomac Park.
