has seen the youngsters develop. it
looks like four-cornered scrap
among Roland r. Mackenzie, ]. T.
Davis. jr.. and J. +. Brawner of Co.
lumbia and Charles Mackail of Chevy
Chase, with Karl +. kellerman Of
Bannockburn and De We're Burr of
Indian Spring as contender. Roland
Mackenzie, because Of his greater
experience and his showing in tourna
ments hereabouts this year. naturally
is the favorite. The siXteen-year-
old son of the donor of the trophy
Is just now playing a splendid brand
Of golf and would take some beat
ing from even one of the older play
ers about Washington at seventy
two holes over Columbia.
Roland is getting around steadily
between seventy-f1ye and eighty and
is playing just enough golf to keer
on edge. as he plans to go to Chicag'
next week. without playing SO muci
as to go stale.
Charles Mackall, long-hitting son
of DIR. Louis Mackall of George
town Is a tough proposition for any
golfer to beat these days The husky
Chevy Chase lad, with a little more
steadiness around the greens. will
hold his own with any player around
Washington. His long game is with
out a peer hereabouts, and he Is
particularly brilliant with the brassie.
J. Floyd Brawner has been under
seventy-five several times over Co
lumbia and will doubtless make a
determined bid for the championship,
but he has not shown the steadiness
under fire of young Mackenzie and
Mackall. Reginald LOTUS of Chevy
Chase and Russell Jewell of Wash
ington should play well.
The caliber of the game of the
two MacKenzieS father and son, is
we'll illustrated by the fact that they
beat Fred Mcleod in . Il best ball
match last week and the pro had a
but was beaten and 2. Roland had
score of T6.
Bannockburn's golf team will en-
tertain the golfers of the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club next Sun
day in an interclub contest. Ban
nockburn hopes to reverse the score
of last Sunday, when Washington
triumphed by 8 points to Z.
Miniature golf tournaments will be
held at four clubs tomorrow. Column
bia, Washington, Bannock burn and
Indian Spring will all stage the nine
hole match play affairs which have
proved SO popular hereabouts since
their introduction at the Washington
Golf and Country Club eight years
ago. At Columbia an unusual varia-
tion of the miniature event will be
held in that the competitors will play
in four ball matches and may pick
their partners and their competitors.
Town and Country Club golfers will
compete in the second half of the
qualifying round for the club cham
pionship.
