cision within q month after the anna
teur championship to turn business
man golfer" It will be interesting to
note into what category he will fall If
he wins and accepts a money prize in
the Salt Lake City open. He cannot be
an amateur after taking a money prize
Therefore he must be a professional,
for there are only two classes Of golfers.
A PLUCKY finish over the last three
"A holes, after bad hole apparently
had put her out of the running in
the last round, enables Mrs. Harrison
Brand, jr., to call herself today the
women's golf champion of the Chevy
Chase Club. Mrs. Brand, who has been
playing golf but short time, finished
with card Of SO in the last round of
the 36-hole medal-play title chase yes
terday to nose out three women who
finished but shot away from the title.
At the close of the first days play
on Monday Mrs. Frank r. Keefer was
in first place with "a, followed by Mrs.
Brand and Miss Susan Hacker with IS.
The defending champion, Mrs. L. o.
Cameron, apparently was out Of the
running with q SO. But Mrs. Cameron
came back with a brilliant 81 yesterday
to total TIA, while Miss Hacker added
an SO to her IS for the same total.
Mrs. Hume Wrong, who had scored 81
on the opening day Of the competition,
scored fine 80 yesterday and Mrs.
Keefer took 81 yesterday.
That left Mrs. Brand needing an 80
to win. She took an on the par S
fifth hole, where intimate acquaintance
with too many bunkers cost her a
chance at par. But the sixteenth hole
really won the title for her. Women's
par for this hole is S, and it Is by no
means an easy 5. She hit q lengthy
tee shot and secured q birdie 4, finish
ing with the requisite IS to win the
title by a single stroke.
The Chevy Chase championship Is
the first big tourney Mrs. Brand has
won, although she has played in several
women's events about the Capital over
the last two years. The chief prize
In the tourney Is the handsome H. C..
Sheridan trophy.
Mrs. Brand, Mrs Cameron and Miss
Hacker all tied at TIA for second place
The tie will be played of within a few
days for two prizes.
A few golfers from Washington clubs
were playing today in a medal play
tourney at the Rolling Road Golf Club,
sponsored by the Maryland State Golf
Association.
nLAYERS at the Washington Golf
L and Country Club still are talking
about the six brides negotiated in
a single round Of the course last Sum
day by G. H. Pardoe. Five of the song
sters came on the first nine holes. At
the same time D. G. Gruver set what
must be some sort Of q local record
when he obtained two eagles in a sin
gle round Of the course. Gruver holed
puts for IS on the fourth and fifteenth
notes.-the only par affairs at Wash
ington. The hard ground and mild
weather is making conditions for low
scoring as near perfect as they ever
will be.
over at Washington Friday night a
~ large group of members of the
club are to gather for dinner to
honor lad who might be a nationally
prominent golf figure II he had the
nghting spirit and overpowering will to
win OF some other well known players.
Frank K. Roesch of Washington, whom
the Washington members will honor
Friday night, not only is one of the
flnest stylistS about the Capital and one
of the best shot-makers, but also a
youngster with everything in his favor
In the game of golf except that ap-
parent will to win which distinguishes
some other competitors.
We often have heard well known
players say, What a golfer Frank
Roesch would be If he was only a little
more aggressive. He appears to be
difndent about the game-as If he didn't
care whether he wins or loses"
This Is the way many people regard
RoeSch'S game. It Is not altogether
true. know that from many games
played against Frank. as q partner or
as an opponent. Frank wants to win,
but he does not show it as some Of the
other competitors do. Franks record
this year speaks for itself. He has won
the District amateur championship and
his club title and Is today the first rank
ing amateur about Washington. But
many golfers believe that If Frank would
inject little more fight and scrap into
his game he would be national cham
pionship material. There isn't any
doubt as to his ability, for he has all
the golf needed to make top-notcher.
