from the housing of the players; their
transportation, the publicity, the gal
lery and even down to the details Of
fore-caddies, must be planned and
arranged weeks in advance. Nothing
can be left to snap judgment or to
the last minute. All details must
be carefully worked out long in ad-
vance so that all the major and minor
parts of the picture will fit together
as one piece when the first ball Is
struck from the first tee at Chevy
Chase on September 81.
Elaborate colored posters are being
printed to advertise the catches and
arrangements are being made to han
die some 40 newspaper men, with the
bowling alley at the Chevy Chase Club
to be the scene of the newsmen's Ia
bors where thousands of words will go
out to the world describing the prog
ress of the affair. Special score cards
are being printed, containing on their
face the legend: Curtis Cup Interna-
tional Matches, Chevy Chase Club,
September 27 and g." and the crossed
flags of the United Stayes and Great
Britain. The price of admission
tickets will be S1.10 per day with a
combination ticket for both days to
sell for $1.65. The competitors will
play in singles the first day and dou-
bles on the second and final day.
Special arrangements have been made
with the Shoreham Hotel for the &C
commodation of the members of the
two teams and their transportation
from the hotel to the club will be pro-
Yided by woman golfers of the Capital.
Parking Space Is Problem.
NNE matter that is worrying Stead
Is the little task of parking the
hundreds of cars that will
transport the spectators to the scene Of
the matches. There is no room on the
club property for these cars, apd the
country surrounding the club has been
80 built up that no vacant lots are
available for parking within easy
walking distance. This problem will
be worked out in conjunction with the
county police.
Stead has gathered some 40 men,
bers of the club and golfers OF the
nearby clubs to serve on the important
Gallery Committee and is also consid-
ering a request for uniformed men
from one of the military services to aid
in policing the galleries.
President Herbert Jacques Of the
United States Golf Association and
probably several members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee will be here during
the matches, with Jacques to present
the cup to the captain OF the VIC
toriouS team.
Meanwhile, Dick Watson, Chevy
Chase greenskeeper, is working hard
to get the course into apple-pie con-
dition for the matches. The course
is not now in the pink OF shape, but
1t will be by late September, when
cool weather will come to the aid OF
the worried greenskeeper.
Mrs. Ware, the most colorful figure
In American women's golf in many
years, probably will not swing a club
during the fray. but she will be here
acting as captain of the United States
team. Miss Van VIE probably will
play at the No. position for the
defending champions, with other
members of the team to be chosen
from the following candidates: Maui
reen Orcutt, Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Miss
Leona D. Cheney, Charlotte Glutting,
Lucille Robinson and Mrs. Frank
Goldthwaite, the former Amelia
GorcZyca.
Shortly after the close of the ma
tional amateur championship you can
expect burst of publicity on the
Curtis Cup matches. Meanwhile the
handling of all the tremendous de-
tail work of a great international
sporting event is going forward
smoothly and evenly, and the women
golfers of the Capital are all a-fiutter
in anticipation of the biggest thing
in golf that has come this way in
manV wears,
