Sidney West will be the woman cham
pion at the Washington Suburban. Club
this year, as this pair has reached the
finals in the event now being played
and will meet in day or so for the
title.
Edgar Orme of the Columbia Country
Club suffered in a rather peculiar man
ner in the qualification round OF tne
clubs event Thursday afternoon, and
had a mistake not been made he might
have gone into the first instead OF the
second fight. Orme really made the
eighteen holes in eighty-nine strokes,
which was the dividing mark between
the first and second sixteens. In
adding up his card. however. he made
a mistake Of one and called 1t ninety.
The rules were consulted as soon as
the mistake was discovered and the
following was found to cover the SUD-
ject:
"Competitors must satisfy themselves
before the cards are handed In tnat
the scores for each hole are correctly
marked, as no alteration can be maze
on any card after 1t has been return-
ed II it be found that competitor
has returned a score lower than th2
actually played he shall be d1squal1ned.
For the additions Of the scores marx.
ed. the comrpittee shall be responsioie.
This put the matter of. adding the
scores up to the committee, but Orme
had already left the club before the
error was found and so could not. Of
course, play OF the tie which mis-
eighty-nine gave him. He was conse-
ouently drawn in the second sixteen.

r A. Watson of Columbia has been
taxing his vacation at the Virginia Hot
Springs, and came back Thursday
morning in order to compete In the
clubs annual tourney: skeets" has

to qualify. He Will return
there today and remain for couple
Of weeks more.
Bannockburn still is without tele-
phonic connections at its new Cabin
John Bridge plant. but expects to have
a complete system installed by the end
of this week. The main trouble has
been with regard to the poles, as the
club has insisted that no poles be set
heen straiehtened out to the satisfac-
ton of ali and the installation work
will be started Immediately.
When the fact that he has been less
where he was operated on for appendi-
citis. lis taken into consideration,
Eddie Eynon's work in the tourna-
ment Just ended Is considered excep-
tona Eynon dx,ce as his friends snd
really was taking quite a chance on
IN turing himself. as his side is still
very sore and has hardly had time to
heal properly. This. of course. was
iown his swing, especially at the long
rame. which is HIS forte. Notwith-
Standing this big handicap. he turned
n one Of the best scores made In the
round and easily placed
n the first flight.

The only reason there are any vacan-

club and as many more win be con-
sidered when the governing body again
gets together.
