and the other between Marines and
National Capital Publishing Company,
at Union League Park. Both con-
tests are due to begin at Sis o'clock.
On the basis of past performances,
Operations and Marines are stronger
than their opponents. though both the
other clubs have played some pretty
good ball. In fact. Operations and
Marines, with the exception of Navy

about the most consistently good pail

by a margin of one run. Joe Giebers

Mcmahon of Clarendon registered

Is ambidexterity in golf fatal? No

sides costing lot of money.
1t was about two years ago that

left handed. at the end Of the period
had a couple of second sixteen cups

So for weeks and weeks the profess

went out to defend his rights to the

had to be won three times, and he lost
in the second round. after which he
returned the piece of silverware to

Il believe the old left-handed game

So. playing once again with his

competition for the Presidents cup
at his club. After working his way
through to the semi-final round he
fell before golfer whom UP to that
time the doctor had considered

derwent another change.

he commented. me for the starboard

So a week later he entered in COM

a man who had never been heard OF in

declared himself as follows:
