OF highest callber.
q On Thursday Stevinson landed In
q triple tie for medal play honors
with Albert r. Mackenzie. Of Column
bia, and Robert S. Kampmann. OF
Pine Valley. Stevinson later de-
lfeated Kampmann by 2 and hav
ing the match well in hand all tho
way.
"A The outstanding feature OF Stevin
sons play during three days which
includes five rounds of golf Is that
ne averaged exactly so along the
route. In other words Stevinson con
sumed 400 strokes in three days
play of 90 holes for an average OF
little less than Al strokes per hole
an exceptional performance when II
is remembered that for practically
two days the winner was forced tc
slug through the wettest sort oi
going.
Stevinson started out with q
sS in the qualifying round and
wound up with q 79, defeat'
ing Chris j. Dmphy, Of Wood
land, in the final round. The
Columbia man played winning
goif throughout the tournament
from his first tee shot, and Is de-
serving of the many good things
said about him at the conclusion
Of the tournament.
The 1929 winner is the first Co
lumbia man to have his name in
scribed on the Wardman trophy,
which was won just ten years ago
by Walter R. Tuckerman. Of Chevy
Chase. Since that time Tuckerrdn
has been returned a winner another
time.
s. NJ. Newton, Of Richmond. has
been twice winner OF the cup; +.
Warren Corkran, the Baltimore
crack, has twice won 1t, while Wal.
ter r. McCallum has scored one win
and Walter ]. Travis has annexed d
victory.
Still more interesting in Stew, :,
sons case is the upset of the prece'
dent that the winner of the qualify
ing round is never the winner Of the
tournament. Stevinson landed in q
triple tie for the qualifying medal
with Mackenzie and Kampmann
and continued right on to the ulti'
mate round and a victory.
Kampmann, the Pine Valley crack
is out OF the play-off for the medal
Stevinson and Mackenzie will either
play off for the honor or will defer
play until Kampmann can be gotten
into the threesome to determine the
winner.
Tournament golf for the present
spring season will be combIned
chiefly to monthly club competition
although from indications a large
delegation Of Washington golfers
will go UP to the Middle Atlantic
tournament at Wilmington, June Is
16, and II. for the titular tour a
ment and the team competition.
Practically every club in the sec
ton will be represented and from
present plans a merry battle will
be waged not only for the cham
pionship but for the honor Of takins
the team title.
According to the plans of the
Middle Atlantic Association the
tournament in 1923 will 60 TO Chevy
Chase. Morven Thompson, Chevy
Chase Club. is due the presidency
in the general scheme Of elevation.
This means that Washington will
obtain still another big tournament

Harvey who brought Ted-Kid

English boxer in this country
without the Harvey tag, you may
safely assume that he has no
business to be at large, and call
the city poundmaster.
Harvey, who went to England
to second Ted-Kid Lewis against
Carpenter. is still over yonder,

English grown boxers for Ameri-
can destruction. Charles has
brought over many a chappie since

This is Bermondsey Billy Wells,
so called to distinguish him from
the unfortunate William Wells,

They are still picking resin out
of Wells back from mis- most
recent encounter a few days ago.
Bermondsey Billy Wells is quite
