excitement from the player
who made the fortunate stroke and
the members of his group, you
wouldn't think any one would pass of
actually witnessing hole in one with
a casual remark. It's one of the fun
nier golf yarns Of the year as told by
Bob Stead, chairman of the Chevy
Chase Golf Committee, about the
retired admiral who didn't think an
ace on even such tough hole as the
ninth at Chevy Chase rated getting
excited about.
Ashmead Fuller knew he had hit a
good shot to that ninth green, and
that the ball ought to be somewhere
around the green, but when he came
up to the green the ball couldn't be
located. did you see my ball come
by here?" he asked the admiral, who
had been sitting in q chair on the
lawn for hours, watching the golfers
pass by.
why, saw a ball go into the cup
over there" the admiral said. "I've
been here some time and that was the
best one yet" Stead claims the ad-
mirals remark breaks all records for
nonchalance. 1t does, by several
miles.
But the prize hole-in-one story. still
classic after passage Of several years,
came from Sherwood Forest about
five years back. Harvey Cobb and
Rod Thomas were playing; that Is,
Harvey was playing and Rod was
topping and slicing and whacking the
ball all around everywhere but in the
right spots.
BY the time they finished the first
nine Rod was something like down.
They stepped up to the tenth tee and
Rod said: Harvey, you hit my ball.
I'll play it from anywhere you hit it. :"
Harvey hit the shot up the hill and
it went into the hole for an ace
Roddy's ball. Cobb then hit his own
ball and made deuce. The fact that
he hasn't been able to do that well
since has nothing to do with the yarn,

4 i teur golf experiment of 1895
the charging of an entry fee for the
Chevy Chase Club invitation tourna-
ment.
Not entirely without advance warn
ing (Indian Spring charged an entry
fee for similar affair two years ago)
the decision of Chevy Chase to levy
an entry fee for the affair for the
Taft and Sherman trophies came as
q great surprise to lot Of people.
But even though some of the other
clubs are sitting on the fence just
now awaiting the result of the Chevy
Chase experiment, it wouldn't be a
little bit of a surprise were many of
them to fall in line next year and in
succeeding years and to see the entry
fee system become an established and
understood fact in major golf tourna-
ments about the Capital.
Even Fees Won't Pay Costs.
WHETHER Washington is backward
w regarding this entry fee business
in private club tournaments is beside
the point. But the plain fact is that
invitation tournaments held around
large centers of population are more
or less self-supporting.
Around Boston. New York and Chi
cago charging of an entry fee for golf
tournaments is taken for granted. But
here in Washington it is something
new and the experiment is being care
fully watched to see how it reacts.
Obviously, club like the wealthy
Chevy Chase Club is not in the tourna-
ment business to make money or even
to make tournament self-supporting
We happen to know that the entry
fees at SIS will not cover the cost OF
the prizes in the coming tourney

very best.

No Doubt Of His Class.

JUST what was the class of the field
at Palestine we do not know, but
this We do-that Steiner will go to
post here as one of the most feared
contenders in a classic field. He is
the present national champion at 25,-
900 meters, which corresponds to the
15-mile test; the former national 20
mile champion, and has held the Met
ropolitan New York marathon crown,
which is no mean distinction.
In submitting his entry for the Me-
mortal day contest, he declared that
all his training for months had been
directed toward winning here, that he
made no serious effort in the famous
Boston Patriots day race held on
April 20.
1t may be significant that Steiner
is running now for the Millrose Ath-
letic Association instead Of the New
York American Athletic Club
which he represented in several mara
thons here. According to indirect ad-
vices, another well-known Jew, Max
Silver, who had much to do with the
development Of the German-Ameri-
cans strong marathon squad, has left
the club.

self, against the odds of sitting
and settling in this sedentary age,
not only takes on weight but takes
1t on in the most Objectionable
places.
Your plans for figure improve
ment will concentrate more or less
on the three salient curves: bust,
waistline and hips.
Every figure needs salient exer-
else to strengthen the pectoral
muscles which hold the bust to
lovely line. These exercises will
at the same time benefit the upper
arms and shoulders and improve
the carriage.
Given time, a systematic exer-
else routine can make an amazing
difference in this portion OF the
figure.
The waistline is easy. Fat torma-
tons in this area are almost en-
tirely due to laZineSS and, when
these strong bands are put into
constant use, the slim curve at
the waist is REDEEMED. Anyone
can lose three inches in a month
by practicing the movements that
twist, bend, and stretch the waist
line muscles.
Don't just exercise your waist
for a few minutes every day and
lei it go at that. Make every
bending movement WaiStline
exercise.
Even if you are merely picking
up a pin, first flatten the abdomi-
mai wall by drawing it UP and in,
keep the knees straight and bend
only at the waist. That's for sup
pleness, and takes much less eff.
fort than half bending into an
awkward crouch.
The hips are not easy! So few
everyday movements affect the
gluteal muscles of the buttocks
that hip reduction is almost a
figure program in itself.
However, the old reliable leg
swinging exercise is just as good
as it ever was. and equal to the
task of reducing the bulkiest hip
