TOM SASSCER, OF
BALTIMORE, TOPS
COLUMBIA FIELD
Score of 50 Wins Qualify.
ing Round in Fall Golf
Tourney.
BY GORDON sHAND.

IL remained Tor BaltlmOfe, city
which has already provided the Dis
trict with a new TEAMS champion, to
produce the medalist in the qualifying
round of Coldmbia's annual fail golf
tournament yesterday.
Tom Sasscer, of the Maryland Coun-
try. Club, led the parade with an 50,
not so good under ordinary circum-
stances, but sufficient to top the in
different scores which were recorded
yesterday.
Two strokes behind him came two
Columbians, d. K. Jackson and NJ. b.
STEVENSON. each with 81, followed by
a quartet Of S5's, recorded by Walter
Tuckerman, J. w. Brawner. A. R. Mac
Kenzie and Ashmead Fuller. Eighty
nine was good enough to make the
championship fight, the veteran
George Truett barely squeezing in at
that mark after a playon with ]. c.
Davis, Jr.
Tie for Handicap Medal.
Ray Chaplin, Of Columbia, and ]. W.
Childress, Of Chevy Chase, tied for the
low net handicap medal at "A. Chaplin
had a gross score OF 80 and Childress
an 80.
The failure of Russell Smith, the
Pacific Coast entrant, to put in an
appearance. was a source of great dis
appointment.
Yesterdays play was productive of
surprisingly little class" It may
have been the wind, it may have been
the cold, but most Of all, the greens,
which were very keen, came in for
II was no great trick to take
their share Of condemnation.
three puts for a distance of ten
feet yesterday, for the ball had a
depressing habit Of lazily curling
around the pin and then slipping by.
The fact that it was found when
the Anal cards were turned in that
a score of 100 had actually won q
place in the fifth fight is indicative
of the caliber OF golf displayed
yesterday
Those who qualified yesterday
will be called upon for two rounds
Of match play on each Of the next
two days (provided they stay in the
running that long).
Easy Matches for Favorites.
Walter Tuckerman's match with
Guy Standifer this morning will pro-
vide the upper bracket feature, and
the winner may well reach the final
round. The talent is more closely
massed in the lower bracket. AL
bert Mackenzie and Tom Sasscer
are generally conceded by the talent
to have the best chance of winning.
This pair will have comparatively
easy matches on their hands this
morning. and IL victorious, will meet
in the second round this afternoon.
The tournament committee is par
tiCnlQFlV anXinnS that n W
qualifers be at the first tee at their
scheduled starting time today. The
committee has also requested that
when a player has defeated his OPP
ponept before the nnal green is
reached that the remaining holes be
omitted. This request is necessary
because of the shortness of the
playing time.
