w. Carlton Evans Of Columbia, and
Roger Peacock of Indian Spring, who
tied for low qualification score in the
Columbia tourney last week, are to
play OF the tie at / o'clock this after
noon at Columbia. Both registered II
in the medal round, Peacock's score
coming on the first day and Evans II
coming late in the afternoon of the
final qualifying day, when he putted
| out q bunker within yard of the hole
and sank the tieing putt.
Those Ills were characteristic Of the
scoring In the Columbia tournament,
II has gotten so nowadays that to get In
any OF the flights at Columbia a golfer
must shoot up to his best game. The
scoring this year was not quite so low
as last year-as far as the first fight
| was concerned-but on the whole 1t
was low enough. Scores of 7s played off
Tor places In the first flight and 1t took
S5 to make the fifth fight. That sort
OF scoring Is testimonial enough to the
class OF the field at Columbia. To win
in the first flight 1t took consistent
scoring OF rs or better, and Roger
Peacock shot rs against Billy Howell
to lose on the last hole. The scoring
pace around Washington is getting too
fast for the veterans of the game.
"Just because you've got a certain
4, don't think you have won this hole, %
Hugh Saum of Columbia remarked to
jess Finley, as he stepped into bunker
near the green to play his third shot.
Put that one in your pipe and smoke
IT," Saum added, as he watched his ex-
plosion shot trickle into the hole for a
winning birdie 3. You know, jess, u
Saum said. this golf is funny thing
YoH think you've got it, and then you
haven't. The hounds are on your
trail all the time"

way watering system. So far 1t is only
in the discussion stage, but it is quite
possible that before many more weeks
roll around the big club at Chevy
Chase, Md. will have installed fair
way sprinkling system, and thus will
become the first club in the Midatlantic
area to keep its fairways watered
through the heat Of Summer.
