good golf courses on the attenuated

ness, staging national champion-
ship on course that was only three
years old. He had had the public
links contract for only two years at
that time. public links golf was q
new venture in Washington. and for
Leofler the whole deal was entirely
new and thrilling. He put across a
good championship, and since that
time he has reached down deep into
capacious jeans to send teams Of
Washington boys to the scene OF the
national championship. Many Of
those teams have been hopeless, in so
far as the winning Of the title was
concerned, but you can't keep a guy
like Leofler down.
Two years ago he turned up with
a nugget in the person of lanky Claude
Rippy, the best public links golfer
developed in Washington since the
days Of George Voigt and AL Houghton.
He'd like to have Rippy back for the
1889 show. if he gets it for East
Potomac Park, but the chances of
that are remote. Claude is firmly
ensconsed as one of the stars of the
