And all that section of Baltimore which
PLAYS golf is considerably mifed be-
cause two teams from the Capital have
beaten their best and won their way TO
the final.
Baltimore has lot of good golfers,
but this year they have not shown the
strength to overcome the Washington
teams, and so the battle will be joined
tomorrow between teams representing
two local clubs for the championship OF
the State of Maryland. 1t is an oddity,
this match, for although the clubs
themselves are located in Maryland, 80
per cent of the members of the two
teams live in the city of Washington.

all the members of the winning team
tomorrow may not have played in the
previous matches. All those who have
played in two or more matches VIII
receive cups. There is no runner-up
prize, and all the losing team win get
is the consolation Of the loser-that he
fought the good fight and lost.
