Figures tell the story of Roland's
superiority much better than words.
The lad played 27 holes yesterday,
beating Donald Parson on the thir-
teenth green in the semi-final and
beating Voigt on the fourteenth in
the final. For the 81 holes he played,
he finished 3 under even As. rec
ord that has never been equaied by
an amateur about this city in touyna-
ment play over such a course as
Chevy Chase. And the course was
played from the back tees.
Mackenzie's Game Strong.
Against such golf even the ma
chine-like game of Voigt was help
less and it was not at all surprising
that the former municipal champion
cracked. When the final round ended
Roland had par for a 20. Against
Donald Parson in the semi-final. he
had par for a 50. Not so bad for
d youngster who has been playing
golf less than six years and who now
is only is years of age.
Yesterdays victory was the third
for Roland Mackenzie in as many
tournament starts this Spring. The
only thing he didn't do at Chevy
Chase was win the qualifying round.
He won both the medal round and
Washington. And strange to say, all
three of his final rounds have ended
on the fourteenth green. with vic
tory his by 5 and 4. He beat Tuck
erman at Indian Spring, Kane at
Washington and Voigt at Chevy
Chase in the same way. There
could be no better proof of his
superiority than the impressive mar
gains the youngster accumulated over
all his adversaries.
Roland left Washington last night
for the Princess Anne tournament.
He will be back in the city Monday
morning, and will play in the Balti-
more tournament which begins next
Wednesday, with the finest field ever
entered in an amateur tournament
near Washington.
Easy Forenoon Victory

morning Roland was simply unbeat-

game. The result was inevitable
