glory that came to the circuit in the

Five Capital Pros Miami Meet Inaugural Of Rich Winter Golf Campaign
Service Golf Course
Fast Becoming One
OF Capitals S Best
Army Navy Boasts Two
Of Trickiest Holes
In This Section

Four years ago Herbert Strong.
one of Americas prominent golf
architects, rebuilt the Army Navy
Country Club course in nearby Vir-
ginia. 1t had been a pretty good
course from the day back In 1925
when 1t was laid out by Maj. Dick
Newman from a low-fying airplane
and a typographical map. But the
members Of the big club wanted
something better. They spent
around $4,000 on a rebuilding pro-
new course.
Dire predictions were made a year
later that the new course wouldnE
be as good as the old one. 1t was
hitler, some claimed, and because
of the slopes and hills. they sai1,
was abandoned.
Appeared Ugly for While.
Today it is far better, and year
or so hence that Army Navy Coun-
try Club course is going to take its
place as one of the better links lay
outs around Washington or any
other town. Naturally when steam
shovels 60 into a hillside and strip
1t bare of topsoil rain will wash
gullies in the bare soil. 1t did just
that at Army Navy, and for a while
some of the hillsides were ugly.
But they are not that way now.
Such holes as the fifth have been
completely resodded. The 18th,
which had a sudden slope to the
right, has been sodded and golf
ball no longer bounces into the
woods at the right. Cleverly the
architect made use of some of the
old holes, using some of the old
Civil War breastworks which were
features of the old layout. But the
course is new, from every angle.
Cleverly also the architect used
hillsides and wooded corners to
make unusual holes. The 10th and
18th are examples of this. Trickier
holes won't be found anywhere.
Ready for Big Journeys.
But the condition of the course
Is the main thing nowadays. Some
thoughtless observers, viewing the
washed hillsides. predicted the
layout wouldn't round into condi-
ton for many years. No statement
could be more untrue The course
is good now, and will be better next
year.
Soon Army Navy will be bidding
for one of the major sectional
| championships, the District or Mid
die Atlantic title tourney. The
course is ready right now for such
an affair-a good test of golf that
will be better as the fairways are
covered with the heavy stand CT
grass sure to come.

CHAPTER THIRTY-oNE

CHAPTER JHIhI -ORE
The conversation with John Reid
left CAL feeling better. On his
advice she accompanied him to the
police station where the theft of
the ring was reported. His pres
ence gave her the poise she felt she
needed.
So that when a couple of officers
appeared at the apartment to ques-
ton Anna there was little diff
Guilty. The mother of the fianee of
Christopher Reid was not recog-
nized as Robert Trenton's wife.
And the following day Gail return
ed to the store to her former posi-
ton as stenographer.
The other employees showed some
curiosity as to her absence but she
explained it by saying that she had
been i'll.
They had heard about the acct
dent to Chris, had seen them leav-
ing the store together and prob
ably knew they had been together
just before he was shot but Gail
had not been intimate enough with
them for anyone to dare to pry into
her affairs. Hazel was the only one
who attempted it.
Everyone is saying that you
and Chris Reid are in love-" Hazel
volunteered that first day at lunch.
Gail managed to laugh. She had
agreed with Mr.. Reid that the loss
of the ring should not be discussed.
People certainly get some
funny ideas, don't they?" she re-
torted, and changed the subject.
Not SO easy was her explanation
to Chris when at his fathers invi-
tation she dined with them. 1t was
his first night at home and Chris
was dressed but his wound was
still bandaged and the doctor had
prescribed another week of rest.
He greeted Gail with delight. 1t
was her first visit to his home and
she looked about her with interest
at the extensively furnished rather
gloomy old house.
Beautiful paintings and exquisite
objects of art filled the rooms but
there was no warmth or color.
The arrangement of the furniture
which had been selected years ago
was stiff. The place lacked wom-
ans touch and looked, Gail thought,
as if no one really lived there.
She could not imagine Chris with
his gay loving personality growing
up in such an environment.
No wonder he had not liked to
stay at home and had sought
amusement with his friends. No
crowd of merry young people had
ever rolled back the rugs from
these polished floors to dance.
Or raided the icebox. There was
