That Oh debbil brown patch, bane
Of the men who keep your golf
course green and pretty through
the summer months, hasn't really
gotten going this year. Cool weather
and cool nights have ickedOld Devil
Brown Patch SO far. In isolated
cases the old boy has struck a few
Of the expensive putting green's on
the local courses. those located back
In corners Of wooded stretches where
the wind doesn't have a chance to
clear away the fungus. But IN the
main the summer so far has been
easy on the greenkeepers and they
are hoping it stays that way.
For o. B. Fits, greenkeeper at
Columbia, however, the thing OF
brown patch control is more or less
laugh. Fits wouldn't mind seeing
some real brown patch weather at
Columbia. The reason? He has
some new and as yet unclasslfied
grass on one Of his green's that may
be the answer to greenkeeper's
prayer. The picture is this: Wash
ington bent, Metropolitan, Columbia,
and the other popular strains of bent
in use as putting green grass around
town are all right in normal weather.
But when brown patch really starts
going to town your putting green's
will be covered with big brown
patches of wrecked grass.
The patches may be the common
dollar spot" around the size of a
silver dollar, or they may be the big
ones, feet and more across. For
years now the greenkeepers have
been using commercial solutions
which have the effect of neutralizing
brown patch. The trouble is to keep
it neutralized. They may spread this
neutralizer one day, and that after
noon a rain may come along and
wash it all of. So the expensive
process has to 60 on all over again.
Perfect Grass Sought.
The answer, of course, is a grass
that in itself will be so highly re-
sistant to brown patch that it won't
need expensive spraying to keep the
stuff away.
Now Fits used to be a scientist
at the Department of Agriculture.
For years he worked with DR.. John
Monteith, than whom thsre is no
finer grass culture expert in the
world. Fits, like Monteith, has all
the caution of the true scientist
until a product has been proven in
the ultimate test.
Somewhere on the tenth green at.
Columbia Fits picked up a strain
Of bent which he finds is in itself
highly resistant to brown patch. 1t
doesn't need the constant coddling
of brown patch neutraliZers, as do
the other grasses. Last year he
planted it on the 18th green. Now
it has spread over half the surface
Of that green. And the best part
of it is that where the other grasses
have been hit little by brown patch
this new grass, which hasn't been
classified or named, hasn't been
touched. That's the reason Fits
would like to see some real brown
patch weather; to find out whether
the grass is any good, or whether
it is another dud along the progress
ing path of finding a grass that can

They are Frederick r. Schroeder,

of the three; Earl H. Cochell, jr., of
Los Angeles and Louise Brough of
Beverly Hills. Schroeder and Co.

ises to be the days most interesting
match.
Miss Brough, who achieved sud-
den fame by defeating Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Cooke in last weeks East

another young Californian, Patri-
cia Canning, in women's singles
match of equal Importance.
Schroeder Is Seeded Sixth.
Schroeder, national doubles cham
pion with Jack Kramer, Is seeded
sixth in the tournament behind
Bobby Riggs, Don Mcneil, Frank
Kovacs, Frank Parker and Wayne
Sabin. They make up the first di-

years away from their class. The
leaders, except the clowning Kovacs,
are bit shy on gallery appeal, how
ever.

see and the 19-year- old Cochell has
the same quality in even greater

take it in Washington's hot sum-
mers.
Baltimore Has Five Farms Bent.
Over at the Baltimore Country
Club Bob Scott claims the same
thing for strain he calls Five
Farms bent. So far it has done all
right, resisting brown patch while
the other strains get into real
trouble.
Perhaps Fits has something. If
he has it will be the answer to a
lot of headaches around this town.
When you consider that the average
putting green is worth several hun
dred dollars and that it can be
ruined in single night by brown
patch, a grass that will stave of
the inroads of this dread disease is
worth considerable money. And can
stop a lot of headaches for the
greenkeepers.
Pros Face Plenty of Action.
Plenty of action looms ahead for
the pro golfers, but in at least two
cases the Journeys will be invita-
ton affairs, open only to those
asked to play. Witty Cox, Congress
sional pro, has been invited TO play
in both these invitation events. They
are the Henry Hurst invitation at
Philadelphia September 19, 20 and
21, with prize dough to total $4,000.
This one will draw the cream of the
crop, according TO the list of those
invited to play.
The other invitation event Is the
Hot Springs (Va0 pro-amateur, sec
ond of the series, listed this year for
October IL and II. Cox will go TO
this one, to which only Is pros and
double that number of amateurs will
be invited. Two amateurs will play
with each pro, with the amateurs
to get three -fourths of their handi-
cap. Prize money will total $500,
with the top pro getting $3.50 for the
36-hole medal play test.
Hershey Open This Month.
Other Journeys listed are the
Hershey pa open, August %, %.
80 and 81, with total money Of
$1,000. Several of the local pros,
including Al Houghton, Lew Wor-
sham and Cliff Spencer, will play
in this one. Worsham also plans to
play in the luscious $1,000 Tam
O'Shanter open at Chicago Septem-
ber to T.
But on the comparatively minor
money front the pros are looking
ahead to the Lancaster pa pro-
amateur tourney, where Abe Thorn,
/ former Woodmont pro, annually puts
| on a good show and invites all his
friends from Washington for an l8-
hole romp over the good Lancaster
course. This one conflicts with the
woman-pro affair at Congressional,
but probably change will be made
in the latter tourney to permit the
Lancaster affair to get along with
out competition.
Meanwhile the women are point
ing toward the British War Relief
tourney at Army Navy August IS.
Entries will be taken by Mrs. z.
/ Widmayer, and a fee of 81 will be
charged, most of which will go to
British war relief.
