GOOD golf menu Is offered for
~ local golf bugs today in the
~ shape Of two exhibitions star
4 4 ring the newest luminary on
the amateur horizon nationally
and two professionals who have been
uniformly successful in matches around
Washington.
The public is invited to watch George
j. Voigt in action at Beaver Dam to-
day, where the former Bannockburn
star and former District and mid-At-
lantic title holder is to be the leading
attraction of the "Brightwood cham
youngsters who used to caddie on the
old course of the Columbia Country
Club and have distinguished them
selves in golfing way since the club
moved to its new home on Connecticut
avenue.
Voigt will play in foursome start
ing at 1880 and will be the honor guest
at a dinner after the game. Other
stars who will play in the tourney in
clude Harry G. Pitt, the present Middle
Atlantic Golf Association title holder;
Mel Shipley, the Cox brothers, the
brothers McAleer, ]. r. Wannan and
John r. Miller. The tourney is an
gether the ex-caddies of the old Co.
lunbia Club. Voigt comes to the new
tournament fully clad in his new vest
ments as an amateur golfer of first
rank nationally.
He went to New York early this year,
landed Job with bond house in the
metropolis and then proceeded to be-
come New York'S leading PLAYER. He
number 0f a4c =
New York, among them the Long Is
land amateur and open championships.
Then in September he went up to Bos-
ton with game as keen as a razor
blade, to win the qualifying round in
the amateur championship and 60 to
the semi-final, where he was erased by
T. Phillip Perkins, the British anna
teur champion. Voigt has proved his
greatness beyond all question, and he
may be ranked second only to Bob
Jones in this years u. S. G.. A. rank
ing list.
The other match Is a return engage
n1ent involving j. Monro Hunter, the
long hitting colossus of Indian Spring,
and his diminutive partner-George
Dltfenbaugh-in a match against
Charles M. McCourt and Tom Cole,
Baltimore amateurs. Hunter and Diff
enbaugh hope to wipe out the stain of
defeat handed them in Baltimore
last Sunday by McCourt and Cole.

him through score or more of States
m cuest of further titles to add to his

Tommy Is in fine shane to play in the
Oklahoma championship at the end

State title 10 days hence He also
plans to take part in an open tourney
a. Honolulu latnr in the month and
will then come back to California to
play in the Los Angeles open-the
one with the important money.
Tho pros who make the trip around
the Western and Southern circuit this
year are disorganiZed--as usual. In
stead Of having one man arrange their
bookings and railroad accommodations,
they are going on their own and. in
con~equcnce, will not have that unity
Of front they should have. fractional
squsbb!es between them killed the nnu-
! tuallv beneficial arrangement they had
last Winter and now they again are
disorganized.
Preliminary steps have been taken by
the Women's District Golf Association
to arrange for completion of the Phyllis
Keeler Memorial. to be presented to the
Washington Golf and Country Club
some time this Winter or early next
year. It has been practically decided
to have the memorial take the form of
sun dial, surmounted by the figure
of woman golfer and to have the
names of the winners of the annual
| competitions engraved on plates around
the platform of the memorial. A medal
will go to the winner of the competition
each year.
