The washington golfers who
acquitted themselves so nobly in
the qualifying rounds of the
Maryland Country Clubs tourna-
inent in Baltimore by placing 10
players in the championship flight
didn't do so we'll by the luck OF
the draw in the pairings Tor
match play.
Not only did the Washing
4 tonian delegation do well in the
first flight, but they also have
generous sprinkling in each OF
the other four sixteens. How
ever, the rub comes in with the
first pairings in the first flight,
for. with but few exceptions, the
local players are pitted against
one another and must necessarily
eliminate one another in their
progress.
The feature match today
brings together the medalist,
Alex Knapp, Of the host club,
Maryland State . m teur
champ, against Roger Pea
cock, the promising youthful
local star. In the qualifying
round Knapp had a 10
against Peacock'S rs.
ii Other local players to qualify
for the main sixteen and their
qualifying scores are: Volney Bur-
nett, Beaver Dam, 73; Leroy
Sasscer, Indian Spring, 70; j..
Monro Hunter, jr., Indian Spring,
"a; Austin Porter, Columbia, IS;
Roger Peacock, Argyle, 76; Lind
say Stott, Beaver Dam. 76: Harry
-G. Pitt, Manor, 76; J. B. Murphy,
Columbia. rs; Thomas S. Pitt,
Argyle, 76, and Albert R. Mac
kenzie, Columbia, 76.
If the dope runs true to form,
indications point to Knapp sur.
viving to the finals from the up
per bracket, while Billy Howell,
the youthful Richmond star, who
is the Middle Atlantic champion,
having defeated Knapp for that
title, appears as the likely sur
vivor in the lower bracket. Should
this come to pass, the renewal
Of their feud should bring out
some fine golf. First round pair

Playing with w. R. Presley,
W. F. Dubois and Fred Spicer,
J. e. Tenly realized the nth de-
gree of pleasure every golfer
when he holes his tee shot. Tenly
accomplished his feat on the ITO
yard fourteenth hole at Indian
Springs Wednesday, his iron to
the carpet dropping just few
feet short Of the pin and the
ball ran to the cup like it had
eyes.
Vandals made their annual
stop at the Indian Spring golf
shop the other night and stole
approximately $14O worth of
balls. The took the screws out
Of the windows to remove the
bars and then jinmied the win
dow. That they were familiar
with the ground was evidenced
by the fact that they removed
each Of the IS dozen balls which
sthey stole from the boxes Of three
ithat they came in and carefully
placed the empty boxes back in
the cartons.
