OLD LINE JUNIORS
TO TEAM 0NL|NKS
Matches Among Squads Of
-Four Start This Month.
D. c. Plans Play.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

A schedule Of junior team matches
for the youngsters from member clubs
Of the Maryland State Golf Associa-
tion was announced today by Edgar
M. Lucas, tournament chairman of
the organization. While the District
Golf Association has before it a
schedule submitted by its Junior Com
mittee, the State organization intends
to start its matches within q fort.
night.
The Journeys proposed by the Dis
trict Junior Committee would be held
at 10 private clubs, but the District
association will recommend that all be
held this year at the Garrett Park
course of Georgetown Prep School.
If successful at that course, the Dis
trict association will attempt next
year to stage them at other private
courses.
Matches Slated Twice Weekly.
Lucas said the Maryland State As
sociation intends to gather as many
junior four-man teams As possible
from its % member clubs 0ncludins
nine around Washington and toss
them into q round-robin tourney dur
ing late July and August. Matches
would be played on Tuesday and
Thursday mornings of each week, on
. home-and-home basis, and the
team with the highest standing at
the end Of the schedule will win the
junior team championship Of Mary
land.
Selection of the junior teams will
be placed entirely in the hands OF
the club professionals. "Of course,
there would be no entry fee in this
event." says Lucas, because we feel
that it would be a tremendous stimu-
liant to junior golf in this State. It
not only would improve the caliber OF
golf, but also would teach these
youngster the rules and etiquette OF
the game"
One Large League Wanted.
Details haven't yet been completely
worked out. but Lucas believes one
large league could be arranged in.
volving clubs in Washington and Bal
timore. playing in one loop. or two
loops could be arranged, with the
two winners to meet for the cham
pionship in final match. The sched-
ule would be substantially the same
as the interclub team matches held
in the fall, but the teams would be
Of four players instead of ~.
Meanwhile the District association
has carefully considered the plan of
its Junior Committee, and has de-
cided not to contact the private clubs
in an effort to obtain their courses
this year.

CLUBS So STRONG
GOLF SALES FALL
Steel Shafts Last So Long
That Manufacturers Now
Are Shy Customers.

It had to come, the near-saturation
point on sales Of steel-shafted golf
clubs, sooner or later, because the
manufacturers build product so good
1t will last for 10 years or more
and longer in the hands of careful
golfers.
That squawk you hear nowadays
among the manufacturers of links
equipment about dropping OF Of sales
and diminishing orders for new sets
Of golf clubs, was due. The manufac-
turers themselves heard it coming
years ago and set out to "sell" young
America on the idea of playing golf,
but all their sales talk didn't stop the
inevitable day when golf club sales
began to drop OF.
1t was about six years ago that
steel-shafted golf clubs began to sell
in great quantities in sets of eight
or nine clubs. New models came out
from year to year and lots of players
bought them, but in the main the
golfers have considered when they
bought a new set Of golf clubs that
their club purchases ended for several
years.
Rolls Royces Of Game.
The steel-shafted golf club of today
Is so good product that 1t practically
Is 10-year buy. and it isn't outmoded,
or at least it hasn't yet been outmoded.
Today's golf clubs are the Rolls
Royces of the game. You can't wear
'em out.
Today in this territory sales are OF
from last year by considerable per-
centage, and they aren't getting any
better. The same situation exists all
over the land.
The manufacturers aren't talking
about it, but any one with half an eye
can see that the saturation point has
pretty nearly been reached. Not enough
new golfers are coming into the game
and buying sets Of golf clubs.
And the clubs the lads have bought
over the last three, four and five years
still are good golf clubs and will last
for quite a number Of years.
Far Beyond Wooden Shafts.
It wasn't so in the days Of wooden
shafts. Those wood shafts warped and
split and broke and every year or 80
two or three shafts in every set had
to be replaced. Hosels wore out in the
replacement process and when you
split wooden head it couldn't be re-
paired. So there was a constant turn
over Of wooden-shafted golf clubs.
But the manufacturers have outdone
themselves in the durability Of their
steel-shafted equipment. AS golf clubs
are made nowadays they last forever,
with . little care. and unless q guy
tries to cut rock in half or wraps
q club around a three, that club will
last 10 years or more.
