By WALTER McCALLUM,

Another golf tournament for Gov
ernment employees looms as a late
July or early August probability.
From the Bradley Hills Country
Club, newest of the family of links
organizations around Washington
have gone tothe golfing employees
of Uncle Sam letters of inquiry
as to a major event for Govern
ment workers. to be staged some
time during midsummer. The form
the tourney will take, and whether
1t will be at match or medal play
has not yet been determined, but
there is every indication it will
find a favorable response from the
men who work for your Uncle Sam
uel and play golf for fun.
The annual tourney of the Fed
eral Golf Association was played
at BannoCkburn two weeks ago.
The match play championship for
The Star trophies was to come
nearly to its close today Only a
round robin playoff will remain after
today, and that is not scheduled
until September. So the way is
clear, provided the golfers have not
used all their time off. for another
Government tourney.
Bradley Hills officials point to
what they claim is a strong wish
on the part of feminine golfers in
the Government service for tour
nament for women. Such a tourney
was proposed at the annual meet
ing of the Federal Golf ASsocia-
ton but nothing was done about
it. If Bradley Hills holds an affair
for women it will really start some
thing.
Details of the new tourney will
be forthcoming within a couple of
weeks. when replies from Govern
ment agencies give the Bradley Hills
club an idea Of how strong the
sentiment is for such an event.
