Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

AS the result of his good work last
week. when he won the middle Atlantic
states title, w. c. Ballantyne OF 'Colum-
bia has had his handicap cut in half.
Previous to the tournament he was rated
as twelve. but the committee took hasty
action and he Is now down to six. His
victory is still the talk of the club. as
up to that time he was not seriously
considered as a contender. While he had
played good game. he had never ap-
peared brilliant and no one thought him
capable of beating such players as B.
Warren Corkran. Walcott Tuckerman
and several others of note. His vic
tories were no f1ukes either, he out
played his opponent In every match The
fact that COrkran was going well is
shown by his work in the Maryland
Country Club tournament. which ended
yesterday. COrkran won the Qualifica-
ton round and also played his usual
game in the matches which followed. This
was the first open tournament Ballan-
tyne has ever won.
