All of which is to say that Clin
Mckfmmie. holder of the Middle At
lantic golf championship. yesterday
took unto himself a golf tournament
winning the final of the Town and
Country Club event from Pitt by
and 3 His victory marks Cliffs
first appearance on the winning stage
about Washington, for although he
won the Middle Atlantic at Rich
mond in June. he never reached the
final round of tournament about
this city before.
From the start the Town and
Country Club tournament was all Nc
kimmie. for although the dopesters
had 1t his 79 would not stand up in
the medal round. it withstood the best
OF several score par chasers, and
that was that. And then Cliff pro-
ceeded leisurely along the final. never
being down. except to w. X. Mccall
lum. who blew and lost to the Mid
die Atlantic champ in the second
round.
SO McKimmie came to the semi
final where he found rough going
against Mel Shipley of Rock Creek
Park yesterday morning. Cliffs
steadness proved too much for the
public links slugger, however. and
he squeezed out a final hole victory,
winning 2 up.
In the final Pitt was outclassed, for
Mckimmie reached the turn up on
the municipal links player even
though he took a on the fourth
hole. Pitt got two of the holes back,
winning the fifth and sixth in a row,
or rather the fourteenth and fifteenth
of the nine hole course but II was
his final effort, for Mckimmie, up
with to go, laid his third shot dead
at the sixteenth, and Pitt took three
puts to lose the hole and the match
j. V. Brownell of Indian Spring
