Competition for the Corby Cup. pre-
scented to the District Women's Golf
Association last Spring by Mrs. w. S.
Corby, has been postponed from the
original date of September Is to october
g The postponement was made, Mrs.
Corby announced, because several OF
the local woman players expect to be
at Hot Springs, Va, next week. The
tourney is to be an 18-hole medal play
affair and is open to members of all
golf clubs about Washington.
Baltimore golfers apparently are not
such hardy folks as the Washington
brand of links worker. Where the
qualifying round of the Bannockburn
invitation tourney moved through its
first phase yesterday and the Army
golfers played through the first and
second rounds in the Army champion
ship at Chevy Chase, the qualifying
tatiou tourney at Gainesville, Md, was
postponed until today.
TIE weather could hardly have been
worse in Gainesville than it was in
Washington yesterday, for the local
courses were shrouded in driving sheets
of rain that made good golf almost
impossible and the game itself a physical
ordeal
Notwithstanding this early Winter
brand weather young Bobby Hird and
A. L. Houghton of Manor moved over
Bannockburn's rugged test in rs strokes
to tie for first place over the first day
of the Bannockburn qualifying round,
which saw the scores of many players
mounting far beyond their accustomed
total One Of the unusual features of
the qualifying round, and testimonial
to the ruggedness of the Washington
golfers, was the low number of with
drawals, for practically all of those who
started turned in cards.
A field of about rs contestants started
today in the last half of the qualifying
round.
Lieut.. Wilfred A. Ouimet, brother of
Francis Ouimet, former national golf
champio0, earned his way to the semi

pionship yesterday and met Lieut. E. A,
Baldwin Of East Orange, N. j., in one
semi-final today. The other semi-final
match lies between Capt. j. B. Menzie
of Buffalo and Lieut. P. M. Pfaffman
