; OFF around Washington gets
: hotter and hotter-the game,
not the temperature.

"A hotter and hotter-the game,
not the temperature.
The scoring pace of the
gents who say II with flying dust in
stead Of flying divots is hotter this
Fall than ever before in the history of
the ancient game about the Capital, as
par Is being knocked for q row of duck
pins and brides fall at almost every
hole to the sharpshooters of the links.
For example, In one Of the four-ball
matches In that torrid Columbia Indian
Spring engagement for the Maryland
State team championship, which was
won by Indian Spring yesterday over
the Four Corners course, the best ball
Of the four was exactly eight under par
for eight consecutive holes. Those
playing in this match were Tommy
Bones and George p. James Of Column
bia and J. Munro Hunter, IT,, and DR.
L. 8. Otell Of Indian Spring. Brides
were not enough even to halve holes
for on the par S seventh hole Hunter
secured q birdie, only TO lose the hole
In another match, W. Carlton Evans
Of Columbia was so warm that at the
finish of the match he needed two pars
for 70, one under par, for the layout.
That he finished with q II probably
only came about because he didn't need
the 5, for the 10.
But the hot scoring was not con-
fined to the team match. Over at Con-
greSsional, where Clarence Murphy won
his second consecutive Congressional
Country Club championship, weswatch-
ed that meticulous shot maker putting
together a flock of pars and an oc-
casional birdie to whip Page Hufty in
the final round by and and demon
strate again that no matter how we'll
man may be playing his shots through
the green, If his putting Is not up to
snun he Is not likely to win q golf
match.
Oh, yes, 1--we almost forgot to- mention
those five brides that Elliott Spicer and
Leroy Sasscer picked up in their match
In the team engagement against Mil
Ter B. STEVENSON and Everett Eynon.
And over at Washington. where this
travelling golf reporter made one of
the stops Of the day, we found Calvert
Dickey bewailing the fact that birdie
on the long fifteenth hole does not
even get half. at played fine mashie
niblick shot to within q few inches of
the cup, and the boys conceded my
putt for T." Dickey said. But Chuck
Haley came along and sank q 40-footer
for an eagle 3. and didn't like 1t a
Bit"
Indian Spring and Columbia were
tied in the court in the team match
yesterday after the first three matches
had come in, bu then along came Her
bert L. Lacey and young Harold Graves,
winning 212 points from C. B. Asher
and L. w. Laudick of Columbia and the
coup de grace was administered by Sam
Rice, the Washington base ball clubs
fleet outfielder, and Tom Belshe, the
Inter-Departmental League champion,
who took all three points from Paul
]. Frizzell and Norman j. Frost of CO.
lumbia at the end of the count was 10
points to S in favor of Indian Spring.

matte of the team championship, was
turned over to Capt j. v. Brownell of
the Indian Spring team by President
Robert Mclean of the Maryland State
Golf Association. and each member of
the winning team was given silver
goblet.
Oh, yes. one more thing happened
Even Shorty, the smiling dog who
wags his tail in happiness around the
course and club house. was working for
the home team yesterday. Just IS Lew
Laudick of Columbia made chip shot
from the edge of the eighteenth green,
Shorty walked in front of him, The
ball hit Shorty in the ribs and the
shot was spoiled, but 1t didn't mean
anything.
