biggest event of the season about
Washington and Baltimore, and usually
draws the best field of the year. 1t will
be played at the Roland Park course in
stead of the Five Farms course, because
of the greater accessibility of the for

Baltimore Country Club, which will
handle the affair under the guidance
of the officers of the association, has
decided to have six flights of Is each.
There still Is doubt as to whether the
qualifying round will be at 18 or SO
holes, although it will probably be re-

championship of the association, won
last year by Manor, will be played IN
conjunction with the medal round.
A week after the Mid-Atlantic event
comes the Columbia tourney, the event
which always attracts the largest field
to compete each year in any local
