HARLIE PYLE'S "bunon derby
Is TO have its local counter
part at East Potomac Park on

half dozen marathon golfers Will
move out over the level stretches OF
the golf courses in an attempt to out
last each other and TO Shatter the local
record OF 243 holes between dawn and
dusk made last year by Larry Day.
1t seems that William Upton, n mar
athon golf champion of other years
has gotten a bit pceved at the aSpir-
ations OF Day. and has challenged him
to a long distance golf match. So they
will have 1t out on May /. But mean
while Sam Miller, major demon in
charge Of the locker room at East
Potomac, believes that with two such
noted devotees Of the tired hOOf strug-
Cling for the local marathon title, the
