NEARING
FINALS
Finals of Times Championship
to Be Played at East Po-
tomac in Afternoon
BIZ ROSS CoNKLM.

By ROSS CONKLIN.
Spectacular finishes, super fine
weather, and a sumptuous dinner
at the Arlington Hotel featured
the first days play in The Wash
ington Times city municipal links
championship over the course at
East Potomac Park.
Eighty golfers took advantage
of the hospitality of the Arlington
and The Times and joined in at
the dinner at the Arlington.
Busting walters brought on choice
tid-bits, and hungry golfers ate
those choice tid-bits. It was a
fine meal and it elected favorable
comment from all.
To Joe Cox goes the honor OF
losing the freak match Of the day.
Joe. an honorable member of the
first flight. was engaged with j. J.
Lynch in the first round. They
I fought nip and tuck battle all
the way, and ended the eighteen
holes all even. They halved the
nineteenth, and when Joe put his
first shot on the green of the short
twentieth. it looked all over. Dis
aster visited him in large quantities,
though, and he failed to get his
ball in the cup after three putrid
puts. When he missed the last
one he gave up the ship.
The defeat Of Harry g. Pitt By
John D0Wney was somewhat OF
an upset. DoWney, while an cx-
celIent golfer, was not looked
upon as being the master OF the
steady Pitt. He proved that ne
not only was his master but was
his cOnqueror when NE dOvgned
the hapless Pitt, 8 and 2.
John shorey came through his
two matches without any undue
exertion He had a good man IN
John r. Miller, and he won up.
r. H. Brown. runner-up last year
Ia the city championship, was his
next opponent, and Brown obliged
BY cracking wide open. The latter
is capable of better golf than he
shot against Shorey.
5 Charlie Cole, Bill Cox, and j. ].
Lynch, others in the semi-finals or
the first flight all came through
their matches with their colors
flying.
The six winners and the six
runners.up in the play win be the
guests of Roland Robbins at
Keith's Theater Monday night.
They viii be presented with their
tickets i'm ample time. and all
viii occupy two boxes. The losers
viii get lust as much glory out
of their box seats as the happy
winners.
Roland Robbins always has An
excellent bill on tap for the Keith
vaudeville fans. He will have an
other one of the usual brilliant bills
next week.
The winner and runner-up Of the
first flight will be the city cham
pions. superseding George Volgt
and Bob Brown, last years pace
settlers. They will go to the ma
tional municipal links tournament
guests of this paper. The finals
viii be held late today.
