Fred Mcleod of Columbia, came back
to Washington yesterday with a story
OF happening that eclipSes anything
he has ever seen on the golf course
He was playing, he said, in the qualify
ing round Monday of the national open
at Oakmont with Charlie Murray, Pitts
burgh pro, and w. c. Fownes, jr., former
amateur champion and former presi-
dent of the u. S. @. A. Murray had
been complaining of headache, and
on the third hole friend, who was
known to be a pharmacist, offered
Murray some pills. Murray swallowed
two of them, and then two more at the
sixth. Suddenly his game, which until
that time, had been perfection itself,
became loose and habby and he was
absolutely unable to knock the ball
any distance. From the eighth tee
on, he topped everything, Mcleod said.
And his topped shots kept getting
shorter and shorter" There was no
doubt that some sort of dope was in
the pills which rendered the muscles
useless and habby. Murray had started
as II he would make q 70, but he fin
ished with an 80, and was barely able
to walk to the clubhouse.
Mcleod said the pins were in tricky
places on those fast Oakmont greens.
Bob Barnett could not attribute his
non-failure to qualify to anything but
rotten golf" He said he Just played
poor golf, and did not deserve to
qualify.
Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes will lead a
team Of eight women players from
Washington into action July against
a team of women golfers from the
Catoctin Country Club of Frederick,
Md. Arrangements for the match have
been in the making for several weeks.
