TWO SEASON MARKS
PUT ON PIN BOOKS
Samuels of Procurement Loop Has
Game of Zelda Weinberg
Spills 153 Naples.

TWO new season records are on the
l. books of Washington's bowling
leagues today, one of them the result
of that rarity-the quadruple- e-header
strike.
Four times in a row did E. w.
SamuelS knock 'em all down with one
ball in the Procurement League last
night, and when he finished the game
he found he was holding a new season
record of 176. He almost finished with
the high set of the Monday night
activity, but a recapitulation of all
league activities showed that his 404
was topped by pins by Astor Clarkes
set in the Federal League.
The other mark to fall occurred
when Ida Weinberg cracked out a
153 game in the What's in a Name
League, the maker also scoring the
nights high set of 336.

THE old agitation for neutralizing
the value of putting has popped
up again-this time at Pinehurst.
Phillip Ross, a Canadian, proposed at
Pinehurst last week that each putt hit
on the green should be counted as q
half-stroke. He would chalk-line the
groomed area Of the putting greens
and count any stroke within that area,
whether putt or chip-shot, half
stroke. Any stroke outside the chalk
mark would count full stroke.
It works out this way. On par 4
hole a golfer who got home in two
shots and went down in two puts
would score q on the hole. counting
each putt q half-troke. His opponent
who failed to get on in two. but chip
ped up and holed the putt, would
score 3h. It has the advantage Of
giving the golfer who gets home in two
shots all he should get, for no matter
what the other fellow could do who
failed to get home, could win the hole,
even If he canned q pitch shot for a 3.
But the scheme would cause lots of
scoring troubles, with half-strokes and
so on. One of the good features Of
the scheme would be almost complete
elimination of the stymie laid against
the man who has reached the green
in the right number. of shots. Many
a time good golfer has reached the
green in two and been cut OF from a
bid for the hole by the fellow who
didn't get home and Clipped up close
to lay a stymie. Under the half
point-a-putt scheme. the fellow who
reached the green in the right num-
ber Of strokes could use q safety putt
around the other bail and still win the
hole with q 3. But such scheme
would considerably reduce the par fig
uyes en many OF CUR better courses.

FIRST of the many changes at
Manor is the change in play of
the opening hole For years the first
hole has been a natural" to carry
play to the second green. This now is
being done, but other Improvements
include lengthening of the fifth, sixth
and seventh, abolition of the present
first green and Of the present second
hole, and construction Of a new short
hole, to become the fifth under the
new set-up.
Elsewhere along the bunkered front
there isn't much activity in q con-
struction way, but these changes at
Kenwood and Manor are big jobs
Washington, Columbia, Chevy Chase.
Congressional and all the other clubs
are standing pat on their present lay
out for 1896, even though there has
been talk of a new fifteenth green at
Congressional or reconstruction Of the
old green by cutting down the front
so the pin can be seen from the valley,
where the second shot is played. This
change will not be made. according to
Greens Chairman F. NJ. Dawson.
Columbia is to have its own group OF
southpaw golfers who will play tour
naments among themselves, exclusive
ly for port-siders, if the plans Of A.
Hamilton Wilson, a member Of the
club Golf Committee, go through.
Wilson plans a southpaw club for 1886
at Columbia. II Roger Whiteford
Joins it we'd like to hazard nickel
on him.

$1O5. 500 From W.P.A.Funds
To Pr0uide Links for COIOred
: Players at Anac0stia Park

~ IDS are to be called for within
* a few days for operation Of
three of washington's public
- golf courses, the layouts in
The chain operated by the Loefier
Operating Co.. namely, East Potomac
Park, Rock Greek Park and West Po-
--tonac Park, with 50 holes of golf.
Loefier has had the contract for
operation of East Potomac and West
Potomac Parks for IA years and for
Rock Creek Park since that course
was opened, about eight years ago.
He will submit bids again for the
continued operation Of the three
courses.
- Anacostia Parks Fairlawn Course,
now being operated by the Welfare
Board. will not come under the bids
to be submitted to the National Park
Board.
-.-- Obviously the awards will be made
mn a business basis. But Washington
today has the cheapest and best pub
.lic links golf facilities in the country
How much of this Is due to Loefiler
operation only those who handle the
finances can know. But the fact Is
that Loeffier has done a good job
with his virtual monopoly of the pub
lie courses in the Capital.
- One of the interesting phases OF
public links golf is the award OF
@=ao5, 500 of w. P. A. funds made the
other day by President Roosevelt to
Administrator George E. Allen for
construction of a golf course for col
-ored, in Anacostia Park. They should
build a pretty good golf course for
that amount of money, although the
award also will include funds for con-
=Stxiction Of q field house.
