Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-26

~ ALTIMORE, Md, July 26.-By
- some queer quirk of the draw,
entirely without the knowledge
IL of the golf committee Of the
Maryland Country Club, nearly
half Of the qualifiers in the Maryland
Country Club tournament hailing from
the National Capital were drawn against
each other, in the match play rounds
today.
There was no juggling of the pair
ings nor any other Unusual feature of
the draw. but the fact remains that
out of 81 qualihers from Washington
Is of them were drawn against each
other in the first match play round.
w. P. Hall, chairman of the golf COM
mittee of the club, remarked that mas
much as there were so many Washing
tonianS drawn against each other they
should win in the flights and the de-
feated Fights.
The sixth and seventh flights are
crowded with Capital golfers, no less
than nineteen players from the Capital
being in these special flights for out
of-town golfers.
Departing from usual custom, only
four golfers from Washington are in the
first flight of the tournament Where
the Maryland event usually has at least
half the first flight made up of Wash
ington players, only one-fourth of the
this year, and none of the entrants
from the Capital had a chance to win
the qualifying round, although Roger
Peacock and Leroy Sasscer of Indian
Spring had cards of rs in the medal
round, two shots behind the winning
70 turned in by Tom SasScer of Mary
land, winner of the tourney last year.
Peacock took three puts on the seven
teenth green or he might have beaten
his mark of rs. While Leroy Sasscer
had an equal story of hard luck to tell.
In all fairness to the WaShingtonians
who played the course for the first time.
the putting green's were very poor, and
there were many tales of three puts
ana more around the score board as
the players finished their rounds.
The main example of the hard luck
OF the draw came in the first flight,
where the steady Leroy Sasscer, who
knows this course like a book. drew
Bryn Curtiss. fine southpaw golfer of
the Indian Springs Club.
