Due to the brilliant work of Jack
Burgess. the Chevy Chase profession
al. he and Mrs Frederick C. Let's,
Western women's champion. defeated
Mrs. Quentin r. Fietner. who as Miss
Lillian Hyde was q five-time winner
Of the Metropolitan women's title and
Freddie Mcleod in a Red Cross match
over the Chevy Chase course yester-
day afternoon. over slSo was re-
ceived through the efforts Of this
foursome which was played under the
auspices Of the Montgomery Chapter
Of the American Red Cross.
Instead Of playing the regular best
ball match, each hole was counted
as two points, one for the best ban
and the other point for the best ar
gregate score made. Mrs. Letts ana
Burgess won both ways. winning me
match 4 up and 2, and being 5 TO the
good on the point-score.
The work of Burgess was easily
the feature Of the match. He was
out In 37-three under par and came
=, in In 3s. establishing a new course
record. The match ended at the sew
enteenth hole but when Burgess saw
he had a chance for a new mark, he
played out the last hole, despite the
rain and half-gale which was blowing
at the time. He sent his second to the
far edge OF the green, ran up nicely
and sank a two-yard putt for a new
competitive record.
The match itself brought out moth
l. A.. -. - akl
! Burgess making one Of the best OF
the day when he played out from the
/ rough TO the green going 70 No. II.
No puts of unusual lengths were
run down by any OF the players. Nc
Leod was not at his best while nei-
ther Of the women played as well as
J they are capable OF doing. Mrs Fiet-
ner was much better than Mira Let's
as the latter persisted In getting into
trouble throughout the match while
her drives were not nearly as good as
those OF the former.
Neither of the women players won
holes although in a few instances
they managed to halve them. Mrs.
Let's played par golf on the first
and also on the short fourth and
fifth on the outward trip. Coming
/ in. she only had one good hole, the
tenth. which she took in par figures
the two pros" getting threes on
this hole also.
Mrs. Fietnsr scored q birdie" on
the third. after pulling her drive 70
/ the rough. She made a beautiful sec
ond and was down in two puts.
She had another good hole on the
ninth when she made a par 3.
Burgess was good all the way
! through the match and the few
times that he did get in trouble he
made up for il by making fine re-
| coveries. A. the turn he and hi.
I partner had a 6 point lead They
! gained another on the tenth but. hy
halvinc tho reNt three and winning
on aggregate strokes. the Giet-
nor Mcleod team cut the lead dowh
20 4. held IT there for a hole and
then further reduced IL by counting
points on the fifteenth. They
lost one on the sixteenth and two
on the seventeenth. however, which
made Mrs. Let's and Burgess s
f, points up with only q hole 70 &c
and the match ended.
Considering the fact that the
weather was very threatening and
that the last few holes were played
to the accompaniment OF rain, thun-
der and lightning. a fairly large
gallery was on hand.
