Freddie PLAYS II Safe.

FREDDIE plays the hole like no one
else. From any of the upper tess
good hitter can reach the green.
Freddie could If he laid his back be-
hind one. But he prefers to play it
the safe way. A long ball of the line
is likely TO wind up anywhere on
either side Of that elevated green, in
the tiger country where he won't have
clean shot at it, or a view of the
pin. So he prefers TO take a No. ,
iron and knock the ball dead on the
line to the hole, just over the ditch
on the fiat, where he can see the pin.
Then he takes that little mashie-nib-
lick, a weapon so fine you could al
most shave with it. and wallops the
ball smack up against the stick. He
seldom has more than a 6-foot putt
for the bird. Last Spring he had a
streak OF seven birds in a row. On
the eighth try he missed q 5-foot putt.
Then he ran of II more In q row, all
birds. Such accuracy is almost un-
canny. But so is his knack OF barely
knocking the tee shot Just over the
ditch. He aims to carry it BY only a
few yards, and he never misses. If
all two-shot holes were built like the
seventeenth at Columbia Fred Nc
Leod would get around in nothing
fat.

he doing here as a singles player this

And then, down in No. 6 is good old

not position giving the true slant
on the worth of Lynch's status in the
local tennis world. On paper Lynch
has the seasons best all-around record
of any player in the city, excepting
the two champions. Who of any sig
niflcance has he beaten, you ask?
Only Latona and Deck of the first 10.
But l ask you, whom have Latona
and McElvenny defeated? Tony trim
med no one Of any importance in his
only previous tournament and lost to
Bud Msrkey, the player ranked Just
above Lynch. McElvenny's most i'm
pressive victim was Ted Pierce. G. W. s
net captain, and he's lost to Frank
Shore and Lieut.. McCue, and yet
he's ranked two ahead of Lynch.
No, the "who-has-he-beaten" ques-
ton won't answer our question in
regard to Lynch until they show us
who his apparent "superiors" have
beaten.
II they seeded the public parks tour

good: only in that case they'll have
to explain the presence of Bill Breese
among the favorites. But If they con-

and he is knocking In the 4-footers
that he used to miss with such con-
siStent regularity.
Take a combination of lengthy hit
ting and good putting and any man
who has it is hard to lick. Bob didn't
hit 'em all yesterday in a round at
Washington, but he hit enough of
them to romp around in 73 strokes,
which included a couple of IS. He
started by parking tee shot smack
in the middle Of the first green, some
800 yards. and after that he hit most
Of 'em down the alley, barring one on
the fifteenth. which caught the trees
and cost him a 6.
He hits the ball so far when he hits
it straight that he converts ordinary
par holes of around 40 yards into
drive and pitch affairs, like the eight
zenith, which is tough enough for any
man. He played it with a drive and
No. s iron.
Albertus is going to enter the sec
tional qualification rounds for the
amateur championship at Indian
Spring next month and if he can keep
those tee shots in the alley he may
qualify. His style is something like
that of Ed Dudley in the address, but
he doesn't get his hands high enough
ON the backswing to keep the ball
consistently on the line.

EST you think the seedlings Of

the way the city's first eight STARS
are rated in the public parks tourna-
ment now in progress at Rock Greek

l. Barney Welsh.
2. Dooly Mitchell.
3. Tony Latons.
4. Bill Breese.
S. Ralph McElvenny.
6. Tom Markey.
7. Hugh Lynch.
8. Frank Shore.
Either the seedlings are wrong or
they are. like figures. able TO mean
anything that you want them to mean.
Who would dispute Welsh as No. i?
All right, skip it. Dooly Mitchell as
No. 2 also is o. K.
But No. 3, ah, there's name TO
conjure with. Latona. Now, year
ago we'd have been the last to deny
Tony this spot. But this is 1885 and
Tony's been-well. he's a darn good
playground instructor.
He brushed his way through three
'steenth-ranking locals in the City of
Washington tournament and then he
lost to Markey, who is rated No. 6
in this weeks play. Latona didn't
even enter the District tournament.
So, to these eyes, there's something
just little odd there.
Breese is ranked next. On the
basis of his showing in the District
of Columbia tournament he deserves
an even higher position, but mas
much as that was his first local tour

enough for this neophyte TO the Capt.

MFSuRAIGHT OEE TME TEE
BY w. r. ms CALLuM

50 ONE day when he gets his
tee shots Strengthened out
he is going to be tough to
~ stop" They were saying
that about Bob Albertus over at Wash
ington a few months ago when the
big boy from Philadelphia was occa-
sionally catching one on the nose from
the tee and knocking it a mile. But
only occasionally, for most of his tee
shots were wandering off into the
tiger country and he wasn't scoring
so well.
Bob is about ready now to do his
stuff, for the booming tee shots that
were finding the high grass and the
woods few months back now are
splitting the middle. And to top it
all of, he has taken a putting lesson.

- OLF being the somewhat

with all outdoors to hit the
ball into with the club, it's little
surprising that one man should have
the accuracy TO grab of something
more than thousand brides on
single hole during the space of little
more than 30 years. And not so sur
prising either when you consider that
the same man has reduced the game
to its least common denominator-the
eagle-nearly a dozen times. The
man is Fred Mcleod, the place is the
seventeenth hole at the Columbia
Country Club, and the mediums are
one No. 2 iron. wooden shaft or steel
makes little difference; one frayed and
battered little mashie- -niblick and one
