Scarcity Due to Clubs
Giving Members Their
Just 6 Consideration

Ralph Bogart, the 20-year-old
District amateur champion, was be-
wailing the lack Of invitation tour
naments around town. Guess we
can lay up our clubs for while now
except for friendly matches" said
the youngster who was runner-up
last week in the Chevy Chase tour
ney.
Nov I hear the Baltimore Coun-
try Club tournament is of. Looks
as II we'll have to 60 to Richmond
for our next affair"
OF course there's something to be
said on both sides of this tourna-
ment situation. We have a pretty
good bunch of amateur clubswingers
around town now-possibly the best
in quite stretch Of years. And we
have few big tournaments in which
they can play. On the other side Of
the picture there's an apparent dis
position on the part of many Of our
leading clubs to pass up invitation
Journeys.
The next one around Washington
is the Capital Golf and Country Club
best-bal affair, for which invita-
tions have been sent out. That comes
at the end of June.
Next Affair At Capital.
In between there are q couple Of
important gatherings of the links
clans with championship aspirations.
But these are affairs staged by golf
associations. The clubs themselves
don't hold invitation events in pro-
fusion any more.
The Middle Atlantic Golf Associa-
tion will hold its 36th champion
ship at Hillendale June 13, IA and
IS, and the Maryland State Golf
Association is to stage its amateur
championship at Congressional June
81, % and %. But these are not
invitation affairs.
Members Pay the Bills.
On the club side of the picture
there's lot to be said. A three-dav
affair means giving up the use cf
the course for about five days by
the membership. Most of the clubs
are fairly prosperous. and to ask the
members to give up their courses for
five days means considerable depri-
vation. After all, the members are
the fellows who pay the bills.
Possibly the clubs could work out q
system of holding two invitation
events year-one in the spring and
one in the fall. Competition hap
pens to be the one item that makes
golfers.

Low Scoring Advance

To Metal Stick
Implement Isn't Likely
To Be Improved Soon;
Still Likes Wood
Nv WALTER McCALLUM.

The man who more than any
other individual in the world start
ed the big move toward mass pop
ularity Of golf doesn't see any great
or immediate improvements IN the
implements used in the game.
Allan Lard, inventor Of the steel
shaft, one of the best amateur golf
ers in the East more than three
decades ago, thinks the golf clubs
of today have reached the peak Of
development. He admits he is
working on what may turn out to
be an improvement, but he isn't
prepared to talk about it, nor even
to predict it may work.
Sitting in the golf shop at Chevy
Chase white haired Allan, musing
on the development of the game
from the days of red coats, spats
and wooden shafts up to golf1ng
America of today, when around
100000 people play, talked about
his experiments in the early days
Of the steel shaft.
Steel Shaft Fine Implement.
1--WE had some fun with those
things" said Allan. "The first one,
you'll remember, was a lattice-work
affair which swished as 1t was
swung. Later we came to a simple
tube of steel, with thin walls. Later,
seeking torsion qualities that would
approximate the feel of a good
wooden shaft, we curled the edges
OF a piece of steel and got some
torsion. But that didn't prove
popular. Today we have what seems
to me the ultimate development in
steel shafts, a finely machined,
cold-rolled shaft that is a perfect
example of machine work. We have
step-down shafts. shafts with the
whip IN the middle of the tube, tear
drop shapes Of shaft, and all kinds
Of variation. But all of them are
good shafts, and they all hit that
ball farther and straighter than
the old wooden shafts hit it,
do you think any good steel
shaft gives you the sweet feel Of q
well-hit shot from a wooden shaft?"
I asked Allan. That question hap
pens to be one that puzzles lots Of
the older golfers. The youngsters
who have grown up since wooden
shafts went out never have known
the fine feel of well-made golf club
composed of wood.
mo, don't believe we have
turned out steel shaft that gives
you the fine feel of a good wooden
shaft" said Allan. And miss it.
My golf days, in competition, are
over, but I really miss that fine
feel Of a well-made wooden shaft.
Hits Longer Shots.
But there's one thing certain.
The steel shaft is a longer hitting
shaft than the wooden shaft. It's
reasonable, mechanically, that it
should be so. And the steel shaft
never changes its characteristics.
It won't lose its kick, it won't crys-
tallize and it never changes. 1t is
better all around for any golfer
expert or duffer.
Il guess" Allan added, that the
boys who played wooden shafts had
just about reached their peak Of
development in scoring when the
steel shaft began to go big-around
1880 or 1881. But since that time
the game has stepped up tremen-
dously in average scoring. l don't
know just how much. but certainly
the scores Of the leading profess
SiOnalS of tOdav are much loWer
than they were 80 years ago."

Dorsey Griffith doesn't know much
about the La Sale College track team
his Catholic University legmen will
run against Saturday at Brookland,
excepting that it'll be tough and
the final score will be close.
Il haven't heard much about
them," he said this morning. "But
our meets always are close and I
understand they're pretty strong in
field events. I'm trying to get some
information on them and the only
thing I do know is that La Sale
beat the dickens out of Delaware
and st. Josephs and they're sup
posed to have fair teams"
Griffith had a smattering of in
side info on the Philadelphians, Of
course, but he's thorough gentle
man and isn't satisfied until he's
got the size of their shoes. neck
bands, color of their eyes and time
for every meet they've ever been in.
Discus in the Bag.
He did know that Phil LOBBY was
third in the discus at the Penn
relays and will be cinch to win
Saturday with a heave of at least
145 feet.
He knows Tom Farley will make
Johnny Corbett step on the gas in
the Emile run, and he understands
Berry and ONeil are couple Of
6-foot high jumpers. Catholics best
effort in the jump hasn't been much
better than good, healthy hop. so
Dorsey is conceding all the points
in this event. And La Sale has a.
pole-vaulter in Paul Malseed who
figures to beat any of the Cardi-
mails.
Catholic, which scored a 10-point
victory in the dual meet last year,
is undefeated thus far and also
boasts the Mason-Dixon Conference
championship, but so is La Sale
unbeaten, although it has no con-
ference crown. And the Cards
aren't in the best physical condi.
