was done for the hrSt time last year. :
All tournaments will be played on
1s-hole courses In 1912, and all will
be on layouts which are located
near or on bus or streetcar lines.
The complete schedule is now ready,
but the announcement by Mrs. Wal
ter L. Weible. president Of the Dis
trict Golf Association, that the
women will hold their events at
easily reached courses means out
lying clubs will not be favored with
as many events as in other years.
Outlying clubs are Manor and Con-
gressional.
Two Clubs Seek Championship.
Two clubs are in the running for
the District women's championship
for the title now held by Mrs. Walter
r. Stokes OF Manor. These are
Chevy Chase and Washington, with
the latter club making a determined
bid for the title tourney.
The Corby Cup affair, listed sew
eral months ago as one Of the tour
neys to be abandoned this year, is
back on the calendar and will be
played in September at Columbia.
At the same time, many of the
women, irked by the fact that the
buffers tourney has been aban-
doned, want it back. Mrs. Weible
made plain two months ago that
Journeys which are not sponsored
by individuals or organizations such
as the newspapers will not be held
this year.
But the buffers" cup event, while
not sponsored last year, has been a
very popular affair, and rumors
have 1t that the dear gals, irked by
the failure Of the women who run
golf affairs to reschedule it this
year, are planning a strenuous pro-
test to bring back the tourney in
which the better players may not
compete. 1t Is one of the events
which strictly is for buffers" with
handicaps over 18. Some Of them,
of course, don't fancy being called
buffers" but that is what they
are. in the golfing sense, with such
high handicaps.
Major item on the feminine sched-
ule will be the team matches, which
are to be played this year under a

revised schedule. Mrs. Weible con-
siders the team contests the most
important Of all the events spon-
sored by the w. D. G. A.
Mrs. Davy in California.
Meanwhile Mrs. Myron Davy, top
woman golfer of last year, is on the
Pacific Coast, where she has been
since Christmas. She has competed
in several of the events in the Los
Angeles area and writes that there
is no interruption to feminine golf
affairs in that area because OF the
war.
Plans for local conduct OF the
sectional qualifying rounds for the
Hale America" links tourney, the
final to be held in Chicago in July,
will be discussed soon by the local
fathers of golf, with all sectional
associations operating in this ter
ritory due to collaborate In boost
ing the local entry.
The tourney, of course, takes the
place of the National Open cham
pionship. but will not carry the
open championship label. Even
though it will have all the impor-
tance and prestige Of the Open, the
setup will be much the same and
nearly all the top linksmen OF the
land will participate. Only out
standing competitors missing will be
Vic Ghezzi, the P. G. A. champ; Ed
Oliver and Frankie Strafaci, all OF
whom are in the armed services
George T. Dunlap, who wins
everything in sight at Pinehurst,
has gone to New York to join the
Navy, and won't play in any Journeys
this year if he Is accepted by the
Navy.
Local Courses to Be Good.
A few days of warm sun and the
local courses will pop out with a
blanket of green grass, already show
ing in clumps and patches through
the brown fairways OF winter. Al
though there has been little snow
to replenish the subsurface water
levels, the courses are said by the
greenkeepers to be ready to spring
into full bloom early this year.

points to Caraway's ability to feint

in with q Furnishing one-two to the

have mastered. Such tactics, he be-
neves, will wear down Smithson,
whose long suit is an accurate left

Marvaso Probable Choice.
Marvaso upset the highly touted
George Atkisson to enter the finals
and probably will be the choice over
Keith Goolsby of the Merrick Club.
The swarthy Prince Georgian dem
onstrated a willingness to stand up
and punch with Atkisson, a good

Spring, Prince Georges, Woodmont,
Belle Haven, Kenwood and Army
Navy.
An added flip is due in both
match and medal play events this
year by the scheduled entry Of

For years a nationally ranked anna
teur golf star of the first magnitude,
George now is working in the Treas

Treasury team in the match-play
event and also will compete in the

Team Tournament Popular.
Jack Harris won the individual
title last year in a lengthy play
off against Jim Gipe at Bannock-
burn.
I'VE want to hold a shorter
match-play tournament this year
because some of the golfers will
have trouble getting away over a
long period Of time" said Carey.
But War Saving Time will help us
to run through our matches. In
the summer we will be able to play
until around pm. There will be
some trouble from transfers and
selective service. but all the cap
tains with whom I have talked say
they will enter teams in The Star

As First Tennis Pro
AT Edgemoor Club
Is to Improve Courts,
Run All Concessions
At Maryland PIont
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Snatching the only professional
public parks tennis players here ever
had, Edgemoor Club has come up
with its first pro in history in Harry
Brinkerhofi, counselor Of Washing
tons pay-as-you-play racketers since
1887.
Formal announcement Of Brinker-
hofI's new post will be made after q
meeting Of Edgemoor's board Of
governors tomorrow night. The club
also will reveal that Brinkerho1,
father TO the Districts 18th ranking
player, will be general manager Of
the nearby Maryland net center with
control of all concessions.
Coming here from the Long
Meadow Club Of Springfield, Mass,
Just five years ago next month.
Brinkerhoh since has been stationed
at the Rock Creek courts at Six
teenth and Kennedy streets. But
with the Army already having taken
over two Of Rock Creeks 10 courts
for anti-aircraft purposes and cast
ing covetous eyes at the rest, Brink
erhon openly wondered today II
there would be any tennis near the
site OF the old reservoir until after
the war.
Given full control Of the club and
its courts, Brinkerhon predicts that
he soon will have Edgemoor's three
lower courts on a par with its Nos. l
and surfaces, conceded to be
among the best in the city. He Is
taking Rock Creeks colored at
tendant along with him to Edge
moor with the assertion that 'ff any
body can bring out the best IN a
court, Brown can"
Brinkerhon indicated that he also
may improve restaurant facilities
within the clubhouse itself. installing
individual tables for eating and
hiring more help to serve in the
rush days Of the Coming tennis
season. Serving the many patrons
who crowd the club for tournament
matches long has been a problem for
Edgemoor officials.
All kinds Of tennis equipment will
be sold at Edgemoor by Brinkerhoff,
who alternately is optimistic and
skeptical about two items Of supply
for those who play the game daily
The ball situation is not 50 bad. it
seems. but the problem Of shoes is
something else.
Ball Situation Not Bad.
