War-Treasury Tied.
War and Treasury were deadlocked
today for the top position in the all
inclusive Government tourney, each
with 6 points won and none lost. The
tourney today was the sole topic of
conversation among the golfers in the
Federal departments, and on the basis
OF the matches played so far some
surprises are sure to come in the con-
tests to run through August and Sep
tember. Such surprises, for example
as the 5l2-to12 victory scored over
G. A. o. by John r. Miller and his
Treasury lads. On June IA last
G. A. o. won the team title by a sur
prisingly large margin. Yesterday
Jerry Hart. the individual Govern
ment champ; Jock Olmsted and Sam
Harvey, who were all on the winning
team, were missing. Hart no longer
is with the Government, Olmsted
couldn't play and Harvey was on sick
leave Nevertheless Jack Palmer. Ac.

match for his team. Had the hole
been halved the teams would each
have won three points.

before. you have to believe 'em. Such
are the circumstances surrounding the
latest snake-golf yarn. and Yelverton
E. Booker. the financier who tells It,
says the boys didn't have a nip until
after they had returned to the club
house.
1t happened on the 18th hole at Chevy
Chase. which happens to be q pretty
rugged sort Of golf test, with an ex-
pansive water ditch bisecting the fair
way about rs yards from the green.
Judge Fred Nelson. a gentleman OF
probity and truth. hit his second shot
into the deep confines of the ditch,
where the ball lay in thick, heavy
grass above the tiny stream.
Taking his niblick Judge Nell
son took . mighty swipe at the
ball and failed to get 1t out.
Flying out Of the ditch came a big
divot 'as big as your hat" said Booker
And out Of the divot Of grass and mud
as it flew IS feet in the air. wriggled a
16-inch garter snake. That snake
tipped over a couple Of times In the
air. hit and bounced and then hot
footed (if a snake can hot-fooD for
the ditch" said Booker. I'VE were SO
busy laughing we couldn't stop him. II
Others in the group were Frederick
McReynolds and Maj Erskine Gordon
Takes Snake-Diyot.
1t reminds us Of the time, not sc
long ago, that husky Tommy Webb
who used to play a lot OF football at
Maryland. and who won the Govern
ment golf championship couple OF
years back. took a neat 6-inch divot
out Of the back Of moccasin lying in
the ditch at the 18th hole at Washing
ton.
But the snake story to stop all snake
stories was the one that involved Rod
Thomas our esteemed Star contem-
porary. and that willing butt Of q
lot Of good golf yarns-Bill Ullman,
formerly Of Congressional and now OF
Columbia
Bill and Rod were playing the Sec
ond hole at Congressional for five
bucks. and when Rod smacked his
second shot onto the green. Bill. with
his fair for the unusual promptly
knocked his ball into the woods.
Bill always likes to do those
contrary things.
He found the pill in a perfect lie,
sitting up on pile Of leaves. But a
log lay q foot away Rod, with his
ball ON the green. got soft-hearted and
let Bill move the log. Coiled up under
the log was a big snake. Bill was a
little excited and he smacked at the
snake with his mashie and finally
killed it, but in the excitement he
knocked his ball from the good lie
down into q cuppy lie.
How he did 1t don't know" says
Rod. But up there in the trees was .
little opening about as big as Bill.
hat. First he asked me if he hac
been penali0ed for moving the bal
while he was killing the snake.
