warm toward the holding CT the tOurra-

donated by President Hoover. first

THERE is new kind of caddie at
i Manor, but Charles Schaefer, one

doesn't mend his ways he is going to
find it hard to eat these days. And

Schaefer started of the first tee at
Manor the other day with big colored

tee shot down the middle and got par.
He also played the second hole III par.

find that his caddie had gone into the
woods to locate the pill. But the boy
stood out there in the fairway, having
made no effort to find the sphere.

show starting June at Chicago Will
be something new. Bob Barnett OF

sistent strokers of the ball around The

mental perturbation when he found
himself tied for the lead at the end Of
the first round Monday? He did not.
And he came through with fine round
of 73 in the afternoon to again tie for
top position. The blond from Burning
Tree may go somewhere.
Mel Shorey has been playing better
golf this year than he ever has played.
He has made his swing with the big
clubs more upright and is hitting the
ball farther than ever. ShoreyS putting
has long been a bv-word among pro-
fessional golfers around Washington.
Bob Barnett, the likeable Chevy Chase
pro, determined scrapper in any COM
petition, also has changed his swing.
Few people know it. but Bob played the
qualifying rounds on Monday with
boil on his neck which forbade but
toning his shirt collar and a splitting
headache. Jokingly he remarked to
some friends: If you want to play we'll
start out with headache some day"
The change in Barnett's swing, accord
ing to him. has made him more accu-
rate through the green. Instead of hit
ting the ball down he is hitting it witt;
more of a sweep than formerly, con-
sidering the hit merely an incident Of
the swing and not the main objective.
