Straight Off Tee

~ ONFIDENT Of victory, but not
at all inclined to underrate the
opposition, golfers OF the In
dian Spring Club will move
early next Sunday into West
ern MARYLAND to show their wares that
afternoon before the eyes Of the players
OF the Fountain Head Club Of HaSers-
town, Md It will be the firSt trip out
of the city this year for the 1nolan
Spring team and quite an occasion Is
being made Of 1t.
In all nearly a score of golfers from
the Four Corners club will make the
lengthy 16O-mile trek by automobiles
to compete against Carl K. Stonebraker
and his merry men from upper Mary
land. They feel that they Will be VIC
torious against the gents from upstate
but they are certain victory Will not Dc
won without struggle.
The Fountain Head course, with Its
narrow fairways and its heavy rough,
takes considerable knowing, and. al
though a few of the Indian Spring team
members familiarized themselves with 1t
during the recent tournament at
Hagerstown, to most Of the golfers who
make the journey the course Will DC
entirely new territory.
Among those who will go from Indian
Spring are the following: Roger Pea
cock, Perry B. Hoover, G. w. McCarter,
F. E. Early, S. S. Edmonston, Dr.. z: r.
TilIey, J. v. Brownen, Byrn CurtiSS,
Elliott Spicer. William p. Di Este, En-
inert Heitmuller and Leroy Sasscer.
The Indian Spring team should win,
but there are tricks to all golf courses,
and lacking the knowledge Of the course
Indian Spring may find fast one put
across on them II they do not attend
to their knitting and keep out OF the
rough.
Arthur B. Thorn, president. and A
F. Bergman, secretary-treasurer, OF the
Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers
Association, were busy all day yeSter'
day and today arranging details OF the
exhibition match next Tuesday in whlcf

a sinecure, for to find two men IN the

Diegel. but neither the opponents Of
the latter pair nor the course over
which the match will be played has
been decided.
The admission price will be $2-that
