Bannockburn Enjoys Unique
Distinction Producing Two
Nidatlantic Golf Leaders
THAT rugged golf course Of

THAT rugged golf course Of Ban
nockburn Club. which today is
a semi-public layout which at
tracts a lot Of folks who want
to play on different courses, has seen
most of the star players Of the Middle
Atlantic sector knocking golf balls to-
ward distant pins and is unique in one
respect at least. over those rolling
fairways at Bannockburn two former
| champions of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association have tuned up the game
which won for them the premier title
in this neck of the golfing WoodS-a
| distinction no other club about wash
ington mas enjoyed in many, many
years.
George ]. Voigt and r. Cliff McKlm-
mie. both members Of BannocKburn, won
the Middle Atlantic championship three
wears apart, and both brought to the
club house overlooking the Potomac and
Glen Echo the historic cup Of the as
sociation, which has been in competl-
ton since away back in 1902.
That CUP has been around good
deal, but during the last two decades
it has not stayed in one spot for very
long prior to the advent of young BUY
Howell, who now holds it at the Her
mitage Club Of Richmond. No other
local club except BannocHburn mas
had it more than once in the past
decade.
Naturally golfers good enough to WIN
the Middle Atlantic can shoot quite "a
lot of golf and naturally both VOigt
and McKimmie have contributed tneir
bit toward course records over the
tough Bannockburn layout Voigt, the
impeccable, who is the best amateur
ever turned out by the public INKS
hereabouts, holds the unofficial record
at Bannockburn. In tournament ne
scored a 10, playing the ball Where IL
lay, and on another day when winter
rules were in force, he blasted his way
around that rugged course IN DO
whacks, picking up so many ordleS
that the scorer got dizzy counting
them.
But the real official record for the
course goes to thee redit of young John
Thatcker. college student whom most
golfers around Washington never nave
heard of. For Thacker, good as he IS,
has not played much tournament golf.
One dav two years ago he started with
a bird 3 on the first hole at BannocK-
burn. and, insired by this beginning, ne
proceeded to carve himself neat 6s
one under par for the course, AND
thereby set an official record. -,
For the score was made in one of the
rounds for the Tom Moore Trophy,
which is a 72-hole medal play event,
wherein all puts must be holea. That
record stands today as official for both
amateurs and pros.

professional in actual competition at

of Indian Spring did that two years
ago in a sweepstakes tourney for Middle
Atlantic professionals. Tony Sylvester,
the rotund Bannockburn pro, also has
had a II under regular rules playing
the ball where it lies, and on the round
might well have bettered that mark,
for he took three puts on both the
seventeenth and eighteenth greens,
when a and would have given
him par shattering SO.
Cliff McKimmie, the holder Of the
Middle Atlantic professional match
play title, and pro at White Flint
Country Club, shot himself a II one
day at Bannockburn shortly after he
won the Middle Atlantic amateur title
in 1924. That mark remained for
several years as the best score made at
Bannockburn until VOigt and Thackcr
came along. John c. Shorey. who used
to be a member Of Bannockburn, has
scored 10 several times, playing Winter
rules everywhere on the course.
7 Asst year for time there was grave
IL fear that Bannockburn might go
out Of existence as a golf club. While
that fear is not yet over, Bannockburn
is carrying on as semi-public course,
with about 40 members who have re-
manned loyal to the club. 1t has done
fairly well as a public fee course, with
a take of about $500 a month in green
fees during the Winter to date. Yes
terday, in spite Of the cold wind, there
we're 40 people cut there playing golf
at a dollar a head. The BannOcEburn
authorities hope to continue going along
as they are, paying the interest on the
mortgages and hope that BannOCkburn
as a golf club will continue for some
time to come.
THE Middle Atlantic pros chose one
l. Of the few cold days of the Winter
for their sweepstakes tourney and
annual meeting Those who played to-
day in the sweepstakes event at Manor
Club bundled themselves up in warm
clothing. A dinner tonight at the club
will be followed by the annual meeting
of the Middle Atlantic Professional
Golfers Association, at which Ralph
Beach of Baltimore will take the office
of president, to be vacated by j. Monro

Amateur and college box
ing, proving that the fans have
never lost interest in the perform

high wave OF interest.
Professional - big-tine - boxing, un-
able to mend its erring ways because
of the parasites which cling to its edges,
is having a difficult time getting back
into the graces of the customers.
Professional boxing moves Its head
above its surroundings at times,
only TO have affairs like the Bat
taIino- Miller contest hurtle it back.
1T is common gossip in pugilism that
4 the possessors of crowns in three
weights are managed by men who
also act in the capacity for contenderS.
This situation does not tend for hon.
est boxing Rather it only makes the
game a means of dishonest livelihood
for organized gambling And farce
from a sporting standpoint
Boxing leaders, no doubt, watching
the antics of the wreStlers and their
handlers, feel. maybe, that if the mat
game can attract thousands each night
through burlesque displays, why should
not the ring racket gather some OF the
long green by hocus-pOkus methods.

the system Of controlling the game,
in the hands of politicians is breed
ing the characters which now in
fest IL.
WHATEVER the cause, 1t cannot sur
w vive under the present regime
But that it is a good sport, and
an honest one at heart, is attested by
the crowds which are attending the
Alexandria and the amateur fights.
There is a simplicity to the Virginia
fight atmosphere which is thoroughly
refreshing to one who has watched from
close by the manipulations of the sup
posed big-timers of clouting. 1t Is this
rugged, simple honesty which Is the
real lure of the nearby battles.
II all boring were to be conducted
rOith the sincerity OF purpose, the
open arranging OF bouts and the
trankneSs Of speech Of that In Aler-
andrtu, it Mould be a fourtShing
sport
Boxing is mans sport. Nothing can
take its place in the estimation Of the
American fan who loves action and
courage.
But only immediate drastic action by
State athletic commissions Is going to
save pro boxing from complete oblivion
But I do believe the lessening Of in
terest in the shady big-time bouts is
giving amateurs and the college boys
a bigger play. The customers who insist
upon having their boxing, and who
once looked upon the amateur brand as
being too mild, are looking at it from
another angle now They see in 1t
honesty and determination to make the
game sporting event.
College men make a play for trade
this week, when Columbus University
meets Washington and Jefferson at
the Strand Theater, Catholic Uni
verSity meets College of the City of
New York, Maryland clashes with
Washington and Lee and, the Navy
boxes Louisiana State.
And the Alexandria Day Nursery
crowd starts the week tonight with a
card which, if not brilliant, should be
attractive in the point of action. Which
is what the customer wants for his
money.
Mavbe I'm provincial, but Ill take
the Alexandria bouts in preference to
some of the championship battles I've
witnessed in late years. At least I do
not read in the papers the next morning
what a big sap l was to think the
winner won.
