agreeable. He drove to Fort Du-
pont. gave his trunk-like golf
bag to a caddie. and upon being
told there would be a delay of
an hour or more in teeing of,
he went Immediately to the
clubhouse for lunch.
AS his starting time neared
Buck went back to the car,
changed shoes and made for the
tee for his first look at the g.
hole public golf course. At the
time Buck was bothered by a
spell of wild hitting.
One Of Easiest Holes.
He looked at the first hole,
with the deep woods to the right
and yawning ditch to the left.
and to the green, surrounded by
more woods, bitches and a trap
or two. That's a pretty tough
hole to start off on, isn't it?"
Buck asked somebody. "Tough?"
the fellow said. This is one Of
the easiest holes on the course. "
That's all I wanted to know"
Buck replied. He tossed his cad
die a couple dollars for waiting,
told him to put the clubs back in
the car, and took off without
hitting a shot
That's a true story. and the
moral is that golfers who spray
their tee shots had better get
them under control before even
taking a look at Fort Dupont.
The hilly layout near Mime
sofa avenue and Randle Circle
Sc, has a par of IS for it's nine
holes. The scorecard technically
calls for a par of II for the 18,
adding Is yards and a stroke to
the ninth hole the second time
around, but the boys play it as
a 70. At that figure, the course
record stands at par.
FineSSe Pays Of.
Fort Dupont was opened July
10, 1948. It gets less play than
the other courses in the S. G.
Leoff1er chain because it is
tough, and not recommended for
older folks. But it has some
good holes, excellent greens and
is a course you have to think
your way around. The finesse
golfer will beat the slugger at
Dupont.
There is room for nine more
holes at Dupont, and they are
in the master plan. Improve
ments last year included a paved
parking lot. the addition of sew
eral terraced tees. and the con-
struction of a 10000 square foot
putting green, which. with a
break in the weather, will be
ready about April /.
Fort Dupont has been host to
two Middle Atlantic PGA pro-
amateurs, both on blisterine
midsummer days, and one med
al play leg of the District public
links championship in 1851, plus

members Of a Fort Dupont club
Driver Rarely Used.
Ward Burgess, Chevy Chase
pro. and Keith Kallio, the burly
muscle-man, hold the compete
tive record with 70s shot in the
pro-am last summer. Kallio used
driver only four times, twice
off the first tee and twice OF
the last, and on the other par

Burgess recalled that he was

a trick shot out of the woods

Stock Prices Persist
In Higher Trend in
Face Of Profit Taking
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 80. - A
higher trend in the stock mar
ket persisted today despite some
mild profit-taking in scattered
sections of the list.
Gains ran to around a point
at the outset. Losses were small,
but most stocks with minus signs
were relatively inactive.
A rush of trading at the open
ing soon died down and there
after the tape chartered along at
moderate speed.
Proflt-taking today was a nat
ural sequence to yesterdays
strength. In addition the mar
ket was faced with the customary
week end selling.
Railroads were higher along
with most steels, utilities, oils,
rubbers and distillers. Quite a
few minus signs appeared in
chemicals, motors and copperS.
The American Stock Exchange
was mostly higher.
Corporate bonds moved mar
roWly. United States Govern
ment securities in the overtime
counter market held steady.
Members of the New York
Stock Exchange have voted 639
to $50 for higher commission
rates they charge for buying
or selling securities. 1t is the
first increase in commissions in
six years, and will go into effect
November 9. The new schedule is
calculated to bring in 18 per
cent more in commissions.
