honorable idea of naming "the

Why not? Ed should be so

I am afraid that some believed
me to be evasive concerning this

Never permit the owner to tell

that no one can forecast with

Which puts me on something
Of a spot. There are several
ways in which I could carry out
my assignment to cover the
Trade Association Executives
tournament on Friday without
disturbing the mores and Gus
toms of Burning Tree. I have
been puzzling over the problem.
If the Army Signal Corps would
lend me about two dozen homing
pigeons, could have some kind
fellow-g olfing writer like
MAURY FITZGERALD of the
Herald, release a pigeon, with a
brief resume hitched to its leg,
at each green. I'd be sitting
comfortably at Signal Corps
headquarters, ready to write a
hole-by-hole account.
Or again I could enlist the
aid of q helpful local Boy Scout
company, anxious to do their
daily good deed in one fell swoop.
I would set up my outpost on the
old Walker farm across from the

with the desire Of Burning Tree
members to keep women out. A
golf club for men only is def

Another thing, a mans club

In the clubhouse, women in the
grill room and on the links
in fact, all over the place.
But of course, I'm different.
Perhaps if I promise to confine
my reporting activities to the
links and to keep out of the club
house altogether, the golfing
committee Of the Burning Tree
Club may relax their rules just
this once so that ! will not have
to ask the Boy Scouts and the
Army to help me out Friday.

Ever since the establishment
of sports at the Cardinal school,
KilliOn Field was revered by C.
U. students. The first football
team Of the university was born
there in 1909. There it was that
a team of youngsters banded
together, 10 strong, to challenge
Mt. st. Mary'S College, at EN-
mittsburg, Md, for the inaugural
intercollegiate sports contest in
the history of the school.

Club on River Road, where on
Friday will be held the annua
tournament of the Washington
Trade Association executives.
There is, to be fair, a small cot
tage on the premises, quite apart
from the main clubhouse. where
patient wives may sit and wait
for their husbands to finish
their golf, while they chat over
q cup of tea. But gatherings
there are not too popular or too
heavily attended.
The clubhouse proper, with its
deep, upholstered chairs and at
mosphere of ledge-like maScu-
line luxury, the rolling, velVety
links, are for men only. On
the chaste walls are found val
liable old Collin prints. Che
particularly attractive print is
labeled Eye Game of Goulff,"
and pictures a dour Scotsman
swinging Justify with an an
tique club, the head of which is
the size of a shovel.
Hasty Exit
Another delightful touch is
the presence on the walls, along
with the prints, of clubs used
by famous members, including
Warren Gamaliel Harding and
that great and good duffer, Mr..
Taft. Burning Tree was started
in the Wilson era and all
through the boom years mem
bershipS were at a premium.
Down in the locker room,
there was a millionaire's row.
And on one locker door were
letters which formed a metallic
sounding name to conjure with

Until 1880, no female had
ever poked an inquiring nose
into these sacred premises, until
CORINNE FRAZIER, the Phila.

correspondent, decided to write
an article on Burning Tree for
The Field, Illustrated. That
affable gentleman, JUDGE

was a potent member OF Burn

entire layout, including the
locker rooms, much to the dis
