TINE invitation golf tournament
schedule this year around the
Capital will find at least one
loss in the chain of big affairs
which usually stretches from late
April until late June and may find two
big invitation events missing when
tournament time rolls around.
1t is certain that Manor Club Will
not hold an invitation tourney TINS
Spring. as the club three years ago
adopted a policy of holding the invita-
ton tourney for the J. Webster Man
ming Trophy once every two years. This
policy will be continued in 1882, ac-
cording to r. F. Clarity, the newly re-
elected president of the club.
woodmont Country Club, which
eight or nine years ago started a
schedule of annual Spring invitation
events, may abandon its annual tourney
this year. The matter already has been
discussed by the club board OF gov
ernors, and while no definite action
will be taken pending the return OF one
of the prominent members OF the Goll
Committee to Washington, 1t may be
that Woodmont will drop its invitation
event this year.
Many of WaShington's leading ANA
tour golfers have won the Woodmont
tourney, including Harry Pitt, Miller
STEVENSON and John Shorey.
AS the makeup of the tournament
schedule now stands, there will be only
four invitation Journeys about wash
ington this Spring, if Woodmont drops
out, for nothing has been heard from
Congressional, which did not hold
tournament last year.
THE Journeys definitely listed are
those at Washington, Chevy Chase, In
dian Spring and Columbia, while at the
latter club also is scheduled at some
time during the year the championship
event of the Middle Atlantic Coll AS
ISOLATION.
A IL the club officers who served last
II wear have been reelected at the
Manor Club for another term. Ray
F. Clarity has been chosen president
for another year, Frank Birgtelo, chlet
clerk Of the Treasury Department,
again has been chosen vice president;
George Wuirk has been chosen treas
urer. and Stanley D. Willis, former CLUB
president, again has been elected sec
rotary.
In order to concentrate the golf ad-
ministration at the club under one heao
David L. Thomson, president OF the
District Golf Association, has been
chosen to head the combined Coli and
Greens Committees. Thomson has been
chairman of the Manor Club Greens
Committee for several years E. M.
McClelland has been reappointed to
head the Entertainment Committee and
Birgfield again has been chosen to head
the Committee on New Members APP
pointment of a House Committee chair
man was deferred.
Garrity and Thomson were authorized
by the Board of Governors to draw up
a new contract for Al Treder, the club
professional whose present contract ex-
pires on January 81, thus placing def
mite QuietuS on rumors prevalent in
Washington golf circles to the effect
that Treder was due to be supplanted
at Manor by another pro. Treder was
recently married. He has been pop
ular professional at Manor.

w weather like this right at homer"
Hundreds Of Capital golfers
asked each other that question today
and yesterday as they played in shirt
sleeves in temperatures that are remi-
niscent of early Spring, over courses
that are in the pink of Winter condi-
! ton.
There isn't any doubt that the mild
Winter Of 1912 has seen more golf
| played around Washington than any
year in the past decade and also has
seen the golf courses in better condition.
One wonders If there is to be any Win
ter at all, for outside of few days Of
rain and three or four days when the
courses were covered with snow, there
has been no let-up in the favorable
weather for outdoor sports. All the golf
courses about Washington were thronged
yesterday with links devotees and the
same promised to be true today.
QUITE q number Of delegates from
~ the clubs about Washington are
planning to attend the annual
meeting tomorrow night of the Mary

at the Rolling Road Golf Club of
Gainesville, Md, at 8 o'clock. Edgar A.
