The Washington women have been
uniformly successful in their engage
ments with teams of women players
fro mother cities. Mrs. Haynes is ne
gotiating with women from Norfolk and
Frederick, Md, to play in team matches
with golfers from the Capital.
An augmented field of players start
ed today in the first days qualifying
round of the popular Town and Coun-
try Club tourney. The field, of more
than 100 players, has been split into
two sections, with half the entrants
playing today and the other half sched-
uled to start tomorrow. Among the
stars scheduled to get under way to-
day are Page Hufty of Congressional,
j. A. Cox of Argyle and'J. j. Lynch of
Argyle. The qualifying round will be
concluded tomorrow and will be fol-
lowed by the customary twin rounds OF
match play.
At last Fred Mcleod has missed a
trap shot, The diminutive Columbia
mentor, who has gained fame by the
accuracy of his shots from bunkers,
missed one yesterday that may have
cost Mrs. j. NJ. Haynes and himself first
place in the woman's professional
Scotch foursome event at Columbia. AS
it was, Ef1e BoweS, woman star OF
Rodgers Forge, and Charles P. Betschler
of Rodgers Forge won first place with
card of 81. Bnt Mrs. Haynes and Nc
Leod were two shots in front OF the
Rodgers Forge combination at the flf-
tenth hole Here they took 6, for
Mcleod put the ball in the bunker
and Mrs Haynes played it out to a
hanging lie on the hillside. That was
bad, but worse was to come. Mrs.
Haynes, driving first at the sixteenth,
put the ball in bunker at the left OF
this 150-yard short hole. And as Fred
die waded into the sand We expected to
see one Of those brilliant trap shots
catastrophe befell the house of Mcleod
at this juncture. Freddie not only
knocked the ball out of the trap, but
he knocked it across the green into an
other trap. Then followed more missed
shots, with Mcleod missing another
bunker shot, and the upShot OF the
thing was the pair holed out In 2
strokes.
Meanwhile little Charlie Betschler
parked his tee shot eight feet from the
pin at the seventeenth and Miss Bowes
ran down the putt for an eagle 2. After
that there wasn't anything to it but
Rodgers Forge. The HayneS-McLeod
combination finished in a tie for sec
ond place with Mrs. w. D. Balm of
Baltimore and Willie Schneider of Fred
erick. Mrs. r. L. Rose of Congressional
and A. B. Thorn of Town and Country
were fourth, with 80. Forty-four entries
competed in the tourney. And it now
is our opinion that Charles Betschler
should give the balance of the pros a
handicap when he starts. in these pro-
fessional things For he won the tourna-
ment two weeks ago at the Suburban
Club of Baltimore and yesterday he had
walkaway to win again.
