steady streak, the others will have trout
bic getting past them.
All In ali, the quality of golf shown
about Washington during the year has
been as high as ever before. Stevin-
son and Pitt have been getting around
all the courses they have played in
figures on a little above par. To be
sure, neither Of them has shown thu
same consistency that voigt exhibited
in winning eight straight invitation
tournaments and thereby establishing
time about the Capital, but 1t Is en-
tirely possible that had voigt remained
in Washington he would have been
beaten by either of these men almost
as often as he beat them.
This year, as last year, STEVENSON
was runner-up to Pitt IN the Chevy
Chase tournament. But their rivalry
in an-to-nan combat stopped there
e sy fs iS not 1e I csss At st rn
STEVENSON did not play in the mid
Atlantic tourney, and a meeting of the
two at Manor was frustrated by Mel
Shipley, who beat Pitt IN the second
round.
Hufty Starts Wen.
Page Hufty started the year as II
that has been his for four years by
winning the Town and Country event
and then going on to the final at
Indian Spring where Pitt whipped
him. After that Hufty made no show
ing In the tournaments, although he
dubbed his way into fourth place in
the District amateur John c. Shorey.
much-improved golfer, won his own
club event and almost single handed
whipped Voigt and Eddie Held in an
exhibition match in the Spring.
Roesch won his own club invitation
event, and finished with Q u In the
ship TO tie with Pitt for second place,
later losing In the play-off. Roesch
appears to be golfer who needs
steady practice to keep in top form.
None Of the local stars figured in
the Columbia tournament, probably
the biggest Of the year. Robert L.
Finkenstaedt, who won the District
championship 10 years ago came from
the Middle West TO spend his vaca-
ton with his parents. and won the
tournament, beating young Tommy
Aycock in the final round. Aycock
later won the intercollegiate title. Had
Maurice J. Mccarthy played in the
local tournaments, as he did in q few
last year, he might have been ranked
as the top golfer about washington.
For Mccarthy had very successful
season, elimaxed by his victory in the
metropolitan amateur title event.
But On the face of the tournament
returns STEVENSON and Pitt stand out
as the most consistent winners. And
STEVENSON Is given top ranking be-
cause he was successful In three major
events, while Pitt won but two. If for
only the reason that he won the Dis
trict championship STEVENSON should be
ranked as top amateur. But he
climaxed this noteworthy feat by win
ming two other events. Incidentally,
the scoring in the District amateur
was exceptionally good STEVENSON had
rounds Of 74-75-74-7S for a total
of 3o1, winning total that was only
eclipsed by George Voigt's winning
score Of 292 in the 1927 event. And
Congressional Is q longer course than
Indian Spring. although of about the
same scoring difnculty.
