And when the time came to rerod the green It was found thcro was not enough to cover the new green, which had to bo tnnda larger because of the hard second shot. Hut where on earth do you supposo Kljnn got tho extra turf? Ug,t out of the rough near tho green A rather dangerous ex periment this would seem to tho uninitiated, but t so happens that the grass composing the fairway is as good. If not better, than a lot of the putting gieens of the smaller clubs And In less than three.weeks the grcon was ready to bo plnycd on; but be cause It was needed for the amateur rhain plonh!p It was decided not to open It for play until tho latest possible moment. Work Is Finished The B.imo thing was done In tho caso -of the scwutceuth green on the cast course. which was enlarged shortly before tho tour nament began, and when the amateur cracks came here from all over the country nn one could hae possibly known that tha greens had been replanted. This spring the woik of transplanting tho sixth green wan llnlshe'!. The work of building the green was done last fall, but the winter stopped It, t-o the turfing of It had to go over until this spring Yet two weeks after the turf was In place the green was being used the pl.ij.ers. And riynu got this turf out i,f tho rough. And It cer t.ilnlv was ci line stun Several of tbc gieens at Huntingdon Val ley hae been built of turf taken from tha fairway, and two of these were built shortly beforo tho l.ynnewood Hall Cup tourna ment thcro last year. Huntingdon Valley was ono of the verv first golf courses In this section of tho country to returf tho greens. Tako the seventh green at Phllmont. Tho turf was put on tho latter part of tho fall, and bcfoio tho work was done tho turf had frozen. Yet. despite, this unusual and unfavorable condition, tho green, while It Is not yet tho best on tho course, promises to bo ns good as any In nil, three of theso greens wcro transplanted Inst fall, and they nro all in i' o and h.ne ben hi use for some tlmo. ilav with a solitary, early-morning round of golf He advances his gnmo and Im proves his health at the camo time. Questions and Answers A great many players Insist that prac ticing alono Is not nearly as helpful as playing against somebody In competition. Is this right? Competitive play, of course. Is a stim ulus, and naturallv one enjoys tho con test, but In tho effort to mako a low score a player doesn't like to sacrifice shots In nn effort to correct faults. For this rea son. I believe that solitary practice, pains takingly and systematically done, ls prob nbly tho best and quickest way for most plavers to develop their game. If vou read my earlier articles vou doubtless know my own system of practice I bellevo It a good one for most plavors MRS.

This tournament Is open to all women members of any club thnt belongs to tho t'nltcd States Golf Association. I 'lay Is to be thirty-six holes, eighteen on each day The cup must bo won thrco times before It becomes the permanent possession of any club. Owing to tho fact that this trophy Is open to all leading women golfer3 of tho United States, and It being one of the few prizes offered this year, It Is expected thnt tho entry list for tho September tour ney will bo quite large.
