Two Of the escorting vessels

ported that in a separate Naval
clash near the channel island of
Guernsey q German R-boat was

(The German High Command
said lone of our own vessels was
lost" in the channel fight, but
claimed that a British artillery
motor torpedoboat was sunk and
five motor torpedoboats were
damaged.)
IAN important enemy supply
ship was intercepted and de-
stroyed by light Naval forces in
the English Channel early on
Wednesday morning." the Ad-
miralty communique said. THE
strength of the escort which
consisted of torpedo boats and
minesweepers was such that it
was obvious that the enemy at
tached great importance to the
safe passage of this vessel"
The engagement was said to
have taken place off Cape De La
Hague and the Admiralty declar-
ed that in this action and in the
subsequent clash near Guernsey
"eneEny coastal batteries opened
fire on our ships without effect"
The flames from the two dam
aged escort vessels were visible
from the English coast, the COM
munique said. The rest of the
escort was reported to have scat

The important supply ship
first was damaged by gunfire
and then hit with two torpedos
in a motor torpedoboat attack.
"A heavy explosion followed"
the Admiralty said. "The enemy
ship blew up"

Public Links Too Few
For Many Golfers
Crowding D. {.
No Money Is Available
To Provide Courses
SoreIy Needed

Washington Is running out OF
available public golf courses. Taking
Easter Sunday-the first good Sum
day OF the spring season-as an
indication, the need for more public
layouts around Washington is as
plain as the Washington Monument
on q clear day.
At least q thousand people packed
the municipal layouts at East Poto-
mac Park and nearly as many more
crowded the two mines at Rock
Greek Park. Bradley Hills and
Fairfax, the two pay-as-you-play
courses In nearby Maryland and
Virginia, had banner crowds and all
the private courses were crowded.
Too Few Courses for Players.
The answer Is that more people
want to play golf than the courses
can handle and the further answer
Is that a lot of people, unable to
find golf facilities, are going to
take up other sports.
s. G. Leofiler, who runs the public
courses in the city, has no more
room for expansion. The Fort Du-
pont course, to be integrated when
completed with parts of the present
Anacoscia course, hardly will re-
lieve the situation because there
won't be any more golf than the
present 18 holes.
On neat blueprints in the once of
National Capital Parks is the out
line of projected 18-hole course
at Fort Hunt, Va. The layout
looms-on paper-as q good one,
but it has not gone beyond the
paper stage and may not do so for
years to come. That one-the Fort
Hunt course-is the one badly
needed, on a good road and in
country that would lend itself to
the best in golf architecture. But
money for even the beginning Of
the course has not been forthcoming,
although the blueprints are avail
able.
Good Chance for Promoter.
The first few weeks of spring
bring out the golfers and golferettes
in droves, but If they cannot find a
spot to play. or take too long to
complete q round, they'll soon turn
to other recreation. When it takes
six hours or more to play, 18 holes
soon turn into drudgery,
Some firm-minded gent. armed
with a few thousand dollars. could
turn this dreary recreation picture
into roses and cream. The city,
cramped with growing pains, has

larly golf. far behind.

But If Witty gets back in the scor-

This follows earlier requests by
officers of one of the major sectional
associations in this territory to hold
tests, which were turned down. The
rub comes in the 54-hole tourney
scheduled to be held over a week
end. The two clubs which have re-

to close the course over week end
early in June would be an imposition

them the same problem Of incon-
venience to large memberships.
Tomorrow is the final day for
setting the place for the major
qualifying tests to be held in 13
sections throughout the country.
