Golf Association, it be-
gins to appear Washington is to
be given the "go-by" in the mat
ter of sectional qualification
rounds for the amateur and open
golf championships this year.
Only one local club-the Indian
Spring Country Club-has bid for
either tourney, and Indian Spring has
strong competition in its application for
the amateur championship sectional
rounds from the Baltimore Country
Club over whose Five Farms course the
championship of 1882 was played and
which again is in strong position for
the sectional rounds of 1884
1t virtually is settled that the open
championship sectional qualification
play will go TO Richmond. to be COM
peted over the Hermitage Country Club
layout. one of the best courses in the
immediate South. In the absence of
other bids for the open. and particu-
1arly in the absence of bids from the
Washington-Balt area. the U. S.
G. A. can hardly do otherwise.

Outstanding Courses.

10th Indian Spring and Five Farms
rs are among the outstanding golf
courses in this section. with the
Baltimore layout more generally known
because of the 1882 championship.
Five Farms, from a technical stand
point and from the viewpoint of shot
making, probably is better course in
the Summer than Indian Spring. for
the fairWays at Five Farms are watered,
while the Indian Spring fairways get
pretty hard and fast when the hot
weather rolls around. All of which
makes for lower scoring, as evidenced
in the many subpar scores made dur
ing the playing of the Maryland State
amateur tourney there last July.

His team won the title last Fall and
Thomas is anxious to repeat.
The Alabama workouts were origi-

sophomores of 1888. alternately bril-
liant and erratic, will be ready to fight
on level terms with any of the con-
