The Federal Golf Association
medal play tournament. for all golf
ers employed by the United States
and District governments, will be
played at the Beaver Dam Country
Club June 10 and II.
The match play competition for
teams from all departments and
agencies, for prizes donated by The
Evening Star, In the annual tourna-
ment sponsored by The Star for the
third consecutive year, will be played
over seven different courses between
May l and June 30.
Government golfers, looking over
their 1910 schedule, today are head
ed by D. Paul Swope of the Interior
Department. one Of the founders of
the old Interdepartmental Golf
League, which now is the Federal
Golf Association. Swope was chosen
president at the 18th annual meet
ing last night at Alban Towers,
along with the following: Vice
president, Charles P. Redick, 8. e.
c., 1889 president; secretary-treas-
urer, Paul Carey, Procurement; Joe
Balestri of Government Printing
Office, T. Welby Kines of Commerce
and F. ]. Nivert of National
Archives are on the committee to
handle the medal play tourney.
Redick to Handle Tourney.
Redick, who has done the Job
so capably for the last two years,
will handle the details of The Star
sponsored match play affair. The
Government linksmen gave The Star
a vote Of thanks last night and voted
unanimously to continue the tourney.
Redick will be aided by Walter
Thompson of Treasury and Frank
G. Butler of War.
This years match play affair will
differ from that of last year in
the fact that entries will be limited
to 20 teams in four sections, chosen
according to their known capabil-
tiles. Last year, Redick explained,
several teams in the 30-team league
were weak and dropped out before
completion of the schedule. Be-
cause of the large entry the season
ran for five months.
But with only 20 teams in four
sections the entire schedule-minus
the playoff-can be run of in two
months, with each team playing
four matches on the Nassau system
of scoring, all at best ball. In ad-
dition to the championship con-
tenders other departments or
agencies may enter teams in a class
B loop. All entries. together with
individual nominations. must be in
the hands Of Director Redick by
April II. They should be sent
to him at the Securities and Ex-
change Commission or at 37O1 Mas

medal play tourney will close on

Maryland's tennis team, which in

than last year, when the Terps won

Allie RitZenberg and Nate Askin,
who hold the Southern Conference

bles crowns, and who play Nos. I

Of the Terp combination. They are
seniors.
Jack Phillips, Phil Burkom, Jim
Burnside, Charlsen Mehl and Jim

and Doyle Royal, sophs, complete
the squad and Coach Les Bopst
hasn't been able to determine just
how he will use them after Ritzen-

Is true Of the doubles.
Burkom, who has shown excep.

Golf Tourney in June
Being Considered
By Capital Club
Committee Will Decide
Shortly; Course Is
In Good Condition

Another golf tournament to add
to Washington's lean invitation
schedule this year may come out Of
meeting of Capital Golf and
Country Club golfers within a few
days. Only one invitation affair
definitely is scheduled on the local
slate this year. That is the Chevy
Chase Club event, set for May IS,
16 and II.
Roy K. Aten, president of the
Capital club, will call a meeting
Of the club Golf Committee shortly
to talk over the possibility of an in
vitation meet at Capital, probably
In June. It isn't definite yet, but
Aten and many other members of
the club want to have Capital back
IN the invitation tournament fold,
as Bannockburn, its predecessor, was
in 1928 and 1929. I'VE want to 20
over the entire situation and see
what can be done" says Aten.
There is considerable sentiment
among our members for holding an
invitation tournament this year"
Although only the Chevy Chase
Club invitation event now is listed,
another tourney that will draw all
the better linksmen of Washington
will be played at Congressional in
June. That is the Maryland State
amateur championship, scheduled
for June 81, % and %.
The golf course of the Capital
club, far better than the course of
the old Bannockburn club, will be in
good shape in June. On the hilly
side it takes a lot of good shotmak-
ing to score around the par of 10.
Capital also has flock of good golf
ers in its membership. Such play
ers as Frank X White, George Mol
10y. Billy Houghton, Bill Pendergast
Buster Mrstek and others recall the
days of old Bannockburn when
George j. Voigt and Cliff McKim-
mle were campaigning for the Glen
Echo club and winning tournaments
right and left. Voigt represented
Bannockburn in the days when he
won something like IA consecutive
tournaments and went through
more than 70 rounds of tournament
golf undefeated.

club for its proposed tourney would

Honestly, Gail, I've never seen

running 1t without me. But you've

It would have been cruel to tell
him that she didn't. That she
considered this miracle merely q
temporary one.

she said slowly.
But you don't think I can do it,"
he persisted.
Gail smiled.

proudly. II never make a promise
I can't keep. I'm going to the

"And what about the hunting and
fishing and polo?"
"Only over the weekends," he
asserted.

He was making her the reason
