slim margin, due to its twin WIN
from Mithras while Columbia was
losing two to Mount Nebo. Mount
Pleasant remained in the running

Ward got the best set of the week
with A total of 344 for his three
games.
Frank I,oeff1er. Eastern's ace. who
got off to a poor start this season,
has been smearing the NAPLES 10
good advantage in his last three sets
and has advanced from low man on
the team to high man. His average
for his last nine games has been
around ia.
The battle between Mithras and
Amity was hard fought throughout,
the latter being very lucky to emerge
victorious in two games.
Morgan led Harmony to two
game victory over Fred d. stuart
and his team climbed into tie
with Eastern for fifth place.
Arlington encountered little opposi-
ton from Washington. taking three
games. CrutchleY and kerfoot per-
formed we'll for Arlington, with Hager

Charles Croft of Mount Pleasant
was in good form. totaling 33l for
his three games. His team lost the
first game to Central through the
handicap allowance of 20 pins, but
won the last two easily.
Mount Nebo's two-game victory
over Columbia was quite a surprise.
However, Columbia rolled very poorly
and it's only victory was scored by
margin of one pin. Joslin. captain of
Mount Nebo. performed well.
Golden Rule continued in the run
ming by annexing all three from Fed
eral City. Cordell with a game of
124 and set of 319 was high. San

Years and has been prominent in It's

had the fixture last year and it was
played at the new Maryland Country
Club the year before. So it would
seem the logical thing that il should
go elsewhere than Washington or Bal
timore next year. The Norfolk Coun-
try Club wants it, as bidder for two
years, although some doubt appears
to exist as to the condition of the Nor
folk course for the tourney.
Baltimore Country Club. which has
not held the titular tourney for
decade. is the strongest bidder from
the Maryland group of clubs. The
Roland Park Club staged the women's
championship last October tourney
that has been held by some to be a
forerunner of the mems event the fol-
lowing year. All three of the clubs
mentioned will be strong bidders for
the tourney.
That the wOmen's championship will
go to a Washington club in 1927, with
the Congressional Country Club loom
ing as strong bidder for this event,
seems assured. provided the associa-
ton decides to hold the tourney again
next year. A women's titular event
held at Baltimore in October was most
successful. and was won by Mrs. r.
Boyd Morrow. the Maryland State
title holder. The women were most
enthusiastic and want the event re-
peated.
More than a vague possibility looms
that golf and country clubs through
out the United States may receive a
refund aggregating about 0,000,O00
on taxes paid on stock transfers In
the various clubs. under a ruling laid
before the Treasury Department last
week In addition to this possibility,
it is certain that another drive will be-
made for repeal of the tax on initia-
ton fees and club dues before the
