Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-25

A 17-year-oId yotingster, who IS
~ much better than rated, as the
~ handicappers say. is leading
the rest Of the field fast chase
in the competition for the Caywood Cup
at the Indian Spring Golf Club. and
unless he goes completely to pieces over
his final round, or unless some other
competitor steps out and does round
somewhere near par, he has the big
trophy all tucked away.
The lad is Walter Takes, and he has
completed three rounds In the 72-hole
medal play tourney, which Is to be
concluded next Friday, with a gross
average of 86 and q net average Of IS.
No other man in the tourney has an
average anywhere near Takes. There
is some conversation around the club
that perhaps Takes has a handicap
which Is q bit heavy for the game he
shoots. Takes has shot rounds OF 86,
SO and So for a 54-hole total of 259. He
only needs another net round Of II or
so to win. Johnston r. Zimmerman,
a member Of the club board, has regis
tered rounds of 66, IS, 81, but his ham
dicap Is only ID each round, which
leaves him with a net average con-
siderably above that of young Takes.
The Caywood Trophy was put up sew
eral years ago by the then president Of
the club and president Of the District
Golf Association, C. Chester Caywood.
Meanwhile George j. Richardson.
playing with total handicap of Sc,
has turned in rounds of 85-76-89-86
for a gross total of 336 and a net total
of 280. DR.. George W. Maxf1eld has
turned in cards of 83-91-9h9l for q
gross total Of $40 and net of 297.
The rest of the field Is in the race, but
not as much in it as young Takes and
Zimmerman. 1t looks as If Takes is in.
The woman golfers of the club are
also having scramble to win the
Wineman trophy, which is q 36-hole
handicap medal play event, during the
month of October. In this tourney Mrs.
r. e. Lewis has completed her first
round with card of 106-26-80, and
leads over the first round. Mrs. Howard
Eales played her first round in 100
38-82, and then played the first IA
holes of her last round. only to have to
quit because Of darkness. Mrs. G.
Arthur Slater has turned In cards Of
90 and 95, with a handicap of "a
strokes, for q net total of 1874. Mrs. j.
w. Harvey, jr., had cards of 90 and SO,
with handicap Of %, for a net total
of 1876, while Mrs. p. B. Hoover, the
