j Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs S!
The Columbia. Country Club has re
cently added to its roster a player
^ho. if he gets in his best form, will
probably prove to be one of the best
Washington has ever had. He is A.
K. Barry of the Englewood. N. J..
Golf Club. Barry has not been in
good health, and his game now is
nothing like it should be, but he is
out on the course every day, and ex
pects to be at the top of his game by
the time the Chevy Chase tournament
opens the middle of next month. Barry,
who vis the present champion of the
Siasconset Golf Club, has many vic
tories to his credit. The fact that he
is rated as fourth in the Metropolitan
Association rankings means that he is
a real golfer, and hi* work in coming
local events will be watched with in
terest. The addition of Barry comes
at a particularly good time, as it is
j expected he will fill the vacancy on the
club team created by the resignation
of "Eddie'* Brooke who. has decided
to quit the game for a while.
At a meeting to be held tomorrow
night at the Commercial Club the Dis
trict of Columbia Golf Association will
he formed, the Chevy Chase Club, the
Columbia Country Club, the Bannock
burn Golf Club and the Washington
Country Club having been admitted to
membership. The Star has for some
time been urging that a District cham
pionship tournament be held annually,
and the object of tomorrow night's
meeting is to determine the best plan
of competition, in order to have the
winner be the District champion. Al
though several plans will be consid
ered. it is more than likely that an
event at 7'J holes, medal play, will be
finally decided upon, as this is the
plan for the championship of many
other associations. Representatives
from all of the clubs mentioned above
will be present, and an interesting
meeting is anticipated.
The Chevy Chase course is rapidly
rounding into shape, and it is expected
that it will be in the best of condition
by the middle of next month, when the
annual tournament will be held.
Great things are expected of the Co
lumbia Country Club's golf team this sea
son. Capt. George F. James issued a
call for first practice last Wednesday
and twelve players were out. the men
pairing off and playing three foursomes.
From now on these practices will- be
' held every Wednesday and Saturday, and
i it is hoped that in this way Columbia ;
j will be able to develop a team strong
i enough to land th^ team trophy in the
j Middle Atlantic championship tourna
i ment, which will be held on the Country
I Club of Virginia course May 21. 22 and
! 23. The players will be made to play out
; every hole and their medal scores will
be kept and analyzed. It is expected
that the team will be selected from the
following players: George P. James
(captain). Alpheus Winter. W. C. Bal
lantyne. Daniel K. Jackson. John W.
Rrawner. Otis H. Wood, Montgomery E.
Danforth. A. E. Barry. Arthur B. Shelton,
Edward B. Eynon, jr.: John C. Davidson,
C. H. Pope. James Baird. A. S. Mat
tingly. Dr. Ijee L. Harban and J*. W.
Weaver.
Alpheus Winter, Daniel K. Jackson.
George P. James and C. H. Pope enter
tained three well known golfers at the
Columbia Country Club last week. Prob
ably the bent kno?f? to local playerp was
F. J. B. Mackav of the Country Club of
Virginia, the newly elected secretary of
the Middle Atlantic Golf Association.
With him were Gilbert Welden. a club
mate. and W. H. Halstead of the East
Lake Country Club.
Last year it was thought that this
year's Chevy Chase tournament would
be held on the new course, but it has
been decided not to rush matters, and
th* new course will probably not be used
until well toward the close of the season.
An interesting foursome was played at
Columbia Friday afternoon, when John
Davidson and D. K. Jackson defeated
Arthur Shelton and Alpheus Winter. 2 up.
Jackson proved to be the particular star
of the match, scoring .1 ??birdies." each
of the others petting 1. Jackson beat
Winter in a singles match at the same
time -by 2 up.
The changes ^ which have been made
(and are still being made) at the Colum
bia Country Club will lengthen that
course by probably 20f> yards. A person
playing on it now would hardly recognize
it as the same course which was used
last year. The first, third and fourth
holes have been lengthened, while the
fifth hole and fairgreen will be pushed
west and the green built on high ground
instead of in the hollow. The sixth has
been lengthened about twenty yards,
while at least fifteen yards has been add
ed to the tenth. The changes in the
fifth, sixth and tenth were made possible
by the recent purchase of another strip
of adjoining land.
The Middle Atlantic golf season will
start next week, and nearly all of May

Lands Eighth Straight Game,
Beating North Carolina, 6-1.
GAMMON STARS IN BOX
Pitches Beautiful Game and Tar
Heels Never Had a
Look-in.
Special T?i?pareh to The Star.
.CHARLOTTESVILLE April *5?Vir
ginia made it eight straight this after
noon when ?ho defeated Xorth Carolina
on the bom* grounds, G to 1.
Gammon, who was in the box for the
Orange and Fine, pitched a beautiful
came, and the Tar Heels never had *
lo??k-ir. They were credited with only
four hits, no two of which came in the
same innincr and very few balls went out
of the infield.
Virginia started the scoring in the
opener, when Paschall reached first on ^n
infield hit. took second on NVff's short
flv to left, and both runners counted
when Shields threw wild trying to force
Paschall at second. Several errors eou
pled with hits by Ncff and White brought
in three more in the fifth and one more
was mac|e after that.
Carolina's lone ta\Jy was the result of
one of Wood all's triples. Paschall fum
bling a ground ball and allowing him to
scorp on the next play. The Tar Heel
batters seemed unable to solve the slow
rurves that Gammon offered, which, in
deed. have fooled many others he has
faced this season. Tn the last three games
in which the southpaw has worked but
twelve hits have been made b> the op
posing batsmen.
The feature of the game, outside of
Gammon. was the manner in which the
visitors' backstop clouted the ball. Out
Of four trip.- to the pla*e he secured two
clean triples, and on the last one was
caught at the plate only by fast fielding
on the part of the Orange and Blue
This was Virginia s last game at home
this season, and so far she has been very
successful, having won ten and lost three

Largest of Local Bowling Tourneys
Is to Be Opened Tomorrow Night
Ukat Rlvm every Indication of bring thr Kreateat bowline tournament
ever held In Washington trill ben In tomorrow night at the Palace alley".
Nearly a thousand entries are listed, and It Is certain that the schedule
will last twn ueeka or more. President Halley off the City Duckpln Asso
ciation la discussing the eveat yesterday had the following to say:
"V have not the slightest hesitancy in saying that the tourney Is going
to he the higgest thing off the kind ever held In Washington. We have
?early a thousand entries, v hlch Is way above previous figures. These
eatrles represent between four and live hundred bowlers, an exceptional
number when compared to some off the national tournaments. When It is
considered that there were only 115 five-man teams In the N. H. A. tour
nament in Atlantic C'Wy, which drew ffr?>m all the United States, and we,
drawing only from the District, have eighty-five flvc-maa teams, the
comparlsoa la certainly remarkable.
"I am now making arrangments to have two special nights, and there
will probably be other features, to be arranged later. I am trying to
make Tueaday night an exceptlonnl affair, as It will he "(<adles* Night.*
Saturday, May P, will be base ball night, and I expect to have a team off
the Nationals rolling against oae off the Athletics. I heard from Harry
Davla this morning, and he says that he will try to have a quint stay
over here Sunday no as to be able to fake part.
??Off course, one can never tell what In going; fo happen, but If this
tourney doesn't exceed any of the previous onr* from almoxt every stand
point, then I will hnvc missed my predictions by a greal deal."
GRIFF CAN'T EXPLAIN
WHY TEAM DOES
POORLY AT HOME
(Continued from First Pag*-)
to help him ought to he ready to resume
his position Monday. Despite the fact
that Wally Smith gave a very good ac
count of himself at first base Friday, it
would be a handicap to have Gandil off
the team while the Nationals are playing:
the Athletics.
Wally Smith, by the way. looks to be
a natural hitter. There is a lot of power
behind his swings and he will surely be
a better man to fill the shoes of one of
the regulars than any one Griffith has
had since he took charge here. During
the past two seasons Frank Laporte fre
quently server] for one of the infielders,
and while his fielding was unexpectedly
good, his hitting was a disappointment.
Wally Smith, however. Is sure to fill the
bill much more eompetently than did I.a
porte. In faet. it might be a good move
to get hini into the game regularly in the
event that some of the regulars do not
pick up 111 their batting.
Doe Ayers has not been favored by
| luek so far this spring. IIis first game
! was a defeat, not because of any failing
; he displayed, but because his teammates
failed to give him the proper support. The
next time out he had his hand injured
when he had a game won and had to re
tire. He will probably get credit for this
victory, but it is doubtful nevertheless.
Friday he went into a. game under the
most unfavorable conditions. This defeat,
of course, will not be charged against
him. but it seems that he is not having
the breaks he is entitled to. There is.
however, no question about Avers* ability
as a pitcher. He. is sure to win a major
ity of the games lie pitches this season.
A clever poem, the author of which is
Gilbert Marquardt Ciseman. has been
dedicated to ("hick Gandil. the. Nationals'
first baseman, under the title of "<"*hick
Gandil's Great Hit." It cites an incident
in a game with Boston, played a year
ago. which Gandil won with a long drive.
With Henry ami Ainsmith. the Na
tionals" two catchers, both showing
marked improvement in their hitting, the
bottom of the Nationals' batting order is
much stronger now than it used to be. The
two backstops are hitting decidedly time
ly and hard, and they are just as apt to
help their team in an offensive way now
as any other player in Ihe line-up.
When Walter Johnson first broke into
the American League he was not given
credit for having much of a curve ball

and relied principally upon his speed to
fool the batsmen. But Walter has ac
quired a splendid curve and this spring
?has caused no end of comment among
! players because of the fast break he has
j on his curve ball.
Principally because the playing fiekis
have not been suitable for base running.
Clyde Milan'has started the season carry
ing: ? heavy handicap so far as coming i
anywhere near his stealing record this '
season. In eight games which the Na
tionals have played to date Milan has not
stolen a base or even attempted to do so.
Rut there is nothing wrong with his
underpinning or speed and it is only a
I question of having some tJry playing
fields when he is sure to 'start his
pilfering.
There is to be a decided shortening of
the exhibition season of the Nationals
next spring. Instaed of bringing the team
to its ow n grounds several weeks be
fore the season opens and playing all
sorts of amateurs, college and semi-pro
reams. Griffith will arrange a short
I schedule with two or three National
League teams for the week preceding the
[opening. It has been shown that, these
| games with weak amateur teams do
not furnish the practice which the play
ers need. Furthermore it is argued tlmt
the local fans see too much of the team
I in these games, and that if robs the
j opening of much interest. Just where
Griffith will take the Nationals to train
I next spring will not be deeided until
I later. The team may return to Char
I lottesville. but special inducements are
being made Griffith by Cuban promoters
j to bring the Nationals dov n there for
I three weeks in March.

Special I>lspal^h to The Star. ?
ANNA POMS. Md.. April 25.-The first,
eight-oared shell crew of Annapolis mid
shipmen demonstrated today how a
bunch of oarsmen ran "conn* back" with
in the short spare of one week.
Defeated last Saturday bv the varsity |
eight of the University of Pennsylvania, j
the Middy seniors covered themselves |
! with glory this afternoon by winning
from the strong Harvard varsity crew by
[ half a length in one of the prettiest races
j ever rowed on Severn river. The second
Navy crew could not repeat the dose,
losing to the Harvard seconds by three
lengths.
But the varsity race was the principal
attraction and the strategy used by the
Middies reflected much credit on Richard
Glendon of the Boston Athletic Associa
tion. who has coached the Naval Acad
emy crews with much success for the last
I several seasons. The form displayed by
| the sailor lads plainly showed that they
j were not in the proper condition when
they went up against the Quakers last
Saturday. They started at a lively stroke
today and maintained It all the way, and
| in spite of the heroic efforts of the Crim
i son oarsmen, they could not overcome
the lead which the Middies gained over
the early stages of the course. The race
against the Pennsylvanians last Satur
day, when the Midshipmen rowed a rath
er slow stroke, was in direct contrast to
today's brush.
May Feel Proud.
And the Middies may weli feel proud
| of today's victory through the fact that
I the Crimson varsity rowed a splendid
| race, displaying excellent form all the
| way, but the sailor lads proved them
| selves equal to the occasion at all times
and showed great endurance.
Singular though it might seem, both
of the winning crews covered the course
of a mile and five-sixteenths in precise
ly the same time?6 minutes and 43 sec
onds. The Harvard varsity finished two
seconds behind the Navy first crew, while
the Navy second crew was ten and two
fifths seconds behind the Harvard second
crew. The fact that the crews had both
the wind and tide in their favor was re
sponsible for the fast time made.
The conditions of weather were favor
able in one way and detrimental in an
other for the oarsmen. A chilly rain fell
throughout the afternoon and a light
wind from the south kicked up a slightly
choppy sea as the rival crews Paddled up
the river for the starting point, and be
sides toiere were several delays in getting
: the crews at the stakeboats. one of the
'setbacks coming from the torpedo boat
Manley. which bore the officials, news
| paper men and others, fouling the anchor
I line of one of the. stakeboats.
The race between the junior crews was
pulled off first. The Crimsons selected
the north side of the river, while the
Middies took the south. The sailor lads
got th* jump on their opponents, and,
rowing at a stroke of forty to the minute,
they went into the lead, but only for a
short time, as the Cambridge lads, row
ing at a forty-two clip, soon covered up
the gap. and. once ahead, they main
tained the lead all the way. It was early
apparent that this race would mean a
Harvard victory. The visiting oarsmen
rowed in fine form, while the work of
the Middies was somewhat rairged. At
the half-mile point the Harvard boat
was leading by a good length, and the
visitors slowly but steadily increased the
distance, in spite of the efforts of the
Middies to cut down the lead.
Middies Away First.
Not much delay was occasioned in get
ting the varsity crews off. In this event
j the Middles also got away to a better
start. In fact, the race was in contrast
j to the preceding brush, except that the
! crews were not separated by more than a
length over the whole course. The Mid
dies started off with a stroke of 42
against 40 by the Vardmen. The local
crew had a half-length lead in the first
200 yards and they kept to the fore all
the time. At the three-quarter-mile
mark the Middies had stretched their ad
vantage to a full length. Spurts by the
Crimson over the remainder of the course
cut this down foot by foot, but the Mid
dies apparently were determined not to be
headed and met every challenge. Here it
might be mentioned that the Harvard
coxswain steered a rather poor course
and that his shell was not fouled by a
ten-foot log floating down the river was
due more to good fortune than anything
else. It so happened that the prow of
the frail craft missed contact with the
object, nor did the oars strike it. The
missile slid between the outriggers and
the boat.
1-ieut. Commander Roger Williams of
the Navy refereed the races. The finish
ing time of the rival crews was:
