George Sergeant. the Chevy Chase pro-
fessional. left Thursday night for Buffalo,
y. Y. where he will compete in the open
championships which will be played
Thursday and Friday on the course of the
Country Club of Buffalo. Sergeant has
made up his mind that he will win this

he may familiarize himself with it. He
won this event In 1909. and as he is now
