The Washington times., 1925-07-03

and runner-up OF the first sixteen,
Is the magnet that is drawing the
in this city.
All of the ninety-six who qualify
for the match play win be the
guests of The Times and Sam
Steinberger at a dinner at the
Arlington Hotel, Thursday night,
July 8. The eating will commence
at about s o'clock, and will cease
when all the creases have been
ironed out. Don't forget that If
you qualify you are fully entitled
to partake of that dinner and 1t
won't cost a red penny.
Roland Robbins, the suave man
ager of Keith's will act as the host
to the six winners, and the six
runners-up at a box theater at his
playhouse. He wants taem to
come in as his guests, and as the
guests OF The Times. More about
that will be said later.
(. Mine host Steinberger, has
worked out q prize menu for
that dinner next Thursday night,
The writer has it in his closest
keeping, and Il win remain q
deep. secret until the time Of eat
ing. To mention all the good
things that Sam is going to set
before the ninety-six would only
spoil some Of the fun.
Several Of the sporting goods
have called the writer and have
asked to be let in on the party.
They want to help the municipal
links golfers, and some of them
have offered to put up prizes for
the winners. The writer plans to
call on them all ANDY maybe he
win have something additionally
good to offer.
Qualifying play will have to be-
gin Saturday morning. It will con.
tinue through Wednesday evening
at 6 o'clock. and after that witch
ing hour none can enter. Since
only thirty-six holes have to be
accounted for, the qualifying is an
easy matter Just be sure and have
only ONE name on the face Of the
score card. Those who attest the
card should sign on the back. Make
certain Of that,
Match play viii start Friday
morning and the first two rounds
win be played before the day Is
over. For the winners. there win
be more playing Saturday and the
finalists win strut Their. stuff
Saturday afternoon. That means
that only twelve win play Satur-
day afternoon, and the crowds
can see their favOrite In shis final.
No restrictions, except sportsman
ship are demanded Of any one.
Players must have their cards
showing eighteen holes at one time.
The work OF getting the scores to-
Kether will be made easier II all
follow that rule. It may be found
necessary to strictly abide by it,
50 don't forget.
SIX scorers will be provided for
all final matches. These scorers
will be just and fair, but their
word is the law. They will be on
the scene and they can adjust mat
tiers at once.
No unattached goRer is barred
from the play. Rock Creek Is en-.
titled to move its entire club house
to East Potomac for the tourney.
West Potomac can bring along its
sand green's, and others WHO play
neither and are unattached, can
bring their weapons along, too. II
any one says you nay, just tell this
writer about it.
Something as shiny as the re.
mainder of the program is in the
writer's mind, and he may spill the
beans tomorrow IL things go
through as expected. 1t viii take
anyOne's breath, IL is so startling.
Don't: forget that The Washing
ton Times wants everyone to en-
Joy the Tournament thoroughly.
and nothing that can help in Civ
ing a good time will be overlooked.
The important thing to remember
n that the qualifying play must be
concluded by 6 o'clock Wednesday
evening. The pairings will be an
nounced shortly after that. and play.
ers will be responsible for their
starting time. The Times will do
all it can to get the pairings where
they can be seen, but it cannot
assume responsibility for getting the
news before the entire 96. 49,.
II you plan to play, enter early
and get IT off your chest. You
may get the measles later. and won't
be able to play.
