Capital are going to suffer if we don't

Looking out over an emerald stretch

guess that the grass is growing too fast
and that unless the growth is checked
by a lengthy freezing spell it will ma
ture too fast and die quickly under the
hot June sun.
II don't like it." says Dave. "It isn't
natural, and the grass roots are
stirring around too quickly and too
vigorously for this time of year. Mark
my words, if we don't have stretch
of freezing weather We will find our
putting greens will 60 out fast when

The Storm Breaks.

NEVER were hopes for close game
and, possibly, victory smashed
more quickly-or more decisively.
The Argentines roared out for the
second half and, in one breathless
moment. Greentree was reeling toward
defeat. BoStwick was outridden. Hitch
cock was bottled up SO that he
had difficulty getting to the ball
and, when he did couldn't do any
thing with it. Balding was powerless.
Whitney more than once seemed in
danger of being escorted right up into
the stands by the Galloping Gauchos.
The score mounted.
Seemingly, all the Argentines
needed to score . goal was to
get the ball at the end Of .
malIet.
Their horses were 50 far superior
to 0reentree's that there were times
when the unhappy young men in pink
shirts seemed to be standing still-or
going backwards. Then rain began
to fall out of the gray sky. and the
spectators began to walk out. It was
thoroughly dismal finish. No such
score as 21 to 9 had even been run up
before in international polo.
The following week the Argentines
won again-8 to 4. There had been
some talk of making changes in the
Greentree team for this second game
of putting Stewart Iglehart and Win
ston C,,est m the team With charac.
teristic sportsmanship, Jock Whitney
declined to do this. He said the agree
ment was that the Argentines would
be opposed by the team that won the
open championship, and that team was
Greentree. The Argentines said noth-
ing. 1t really didn't make any dif-
ference to them whom they played.

NEW YORK, January IS CP.-The

Greentree Scores First.

CREENTREE carried the fight to
~ the invaders. The initial charge
of the Long Island riders hurled the
Argentines back and Balding got the
ball. He and Bostwick raced down
the field with it and, as the Argentines
began to close in around Balding, he
slipped it to Pete and Pete back
handed it through the posts.
The Argentines struck back quickly.
A goal by Cavanagh tied the score.
Now the teams fought furiously. Stride
for stride and shot for shot, Green
tree held its own.
On both sides the action was
lightning fast and the horse
manship was almost unbeliev-
able.
First one side would score and then
the other. Hitchcock made some mag
nifcent hits from seemingly impos-
sible angles. Bostwick, probably the
best horseman in North American
polo, never was better. Balding was
at the top of his form-one of the
best polo players in the country. Whit
ney played stoutly on the defense and
made some timely shots.
At the end of the first half the
score was tied at S-8. 1t was great

ProSperS in Golf Shop.

NOT that Davie is worrying right
now. For while his greenkeeping
activities may be slowed up and ham,
pered by the weather he's getting along
fairly well in the golf shop. Wash
ington has quite few regulars who
play every day and who buy golf balls
and clubs. The same situation holds
true at all the clubs about Washing
ton. where there's plenty of golf being
played this Winter. Last year the pros
might as well have gone away for a
stretch of six weeks while snow and
ice blanketed the land, but this year
Its quite different.
Our Spring green's around Wash
1ngton have lot of poa annua in

grass and it makes good putting
green in the Spring. But it's coming
along too fast now, it will mature too
early and before the other grasses
have a chance to catch up we'll have
bare spots on our greens. That is,
unless some freezing weather moves
in to check the growth of the poa
annua Why, our greens here are
nearly ready for cutting I haven't
seen anything like that in all my 16
years of experience in this climate in
January. I'm scared we'll have quite
a job keeping those greens when warm
weather hits 'em. But what can We
do about it? After all. we have to
take what comes and make the best
of it."
