section Of the country for some time
in match this afternoon at Staunton,
Va, to mark the opening of the new
Stonewall Jackson Country Club.
The match may be the last big time
exhibition for Tommy Armour in this

that the graceful Scot will not be with
the Congressional Country Club next
year.

Golfers Association title three weeks
ago at Baltimore, was in Washington
yesterday, dropping in at Chevy Chase
to give Bill Hardie, Bob Barnett's club
maker, little present, calling Fred Nc
Leod of Columbia on the phone and
then moving over to Congressional
where he played through the brisk
breezeS with Tommy Armour before the
pair left last night for Staunton.
Donald Parson of Youngstown, Ohio,
medalist in the Chevy Chase tourna-
ment Of four years back and a formid-
able antagonist at Pinehurst, also was
a visitor to Washington yesterday,
dropping in at Chevy Chase to inter-
rupt his trip South long enough for
round OF golf. He braved the Wintry
with Robert Stead, jr., Richard p.
Davidson and Gene Larkin.
DR.. Thomas A. CIaytor is the winner
of the Liberty Cup at the Chevy Chase
Club, winning the final round from
D. D. L. McGrew on the last hole.
McGrew conceded DR.. Claytor one
stroke in the final. and was up play
ing the thirteenth hole. But at this
hole, with both men on the green from
the tee, Claytor won, and he also won
the next when McGrew put his second
shot in the ditch guarding the green.
Claytor squared on the fifteenth and
won the sixteenth, but McGrew won
the seventeenth and they went to the
last hole all even At the eighteenth
McGrew misjudged the force of the
wind behind him and overplayed the
green with his second shot. His chip
back was weak, and when he failed to
get his next shot down, Claytor won
the hole and the match with par 4.
