! TO Be MADE
IN FALL
BY JUNO KINERK.

BY JUNO KINERK:
Beaver Dam probably viii be
the next. nearby. club to follow
in the footsteps of Chevy Chase
and Columbia by joining the
Maryland State Golf Association.
AT present a number Of the gov
eTnorS of the Beaver Dam club
are out Of the city so no action
is, expected until the abSenteeS
return. -
The consensus among members
of the Landover Club is that it
is now too late in the year to
become affiliated with the State
body for the simple reason that
there would be few advantages
by joining this late in the year.
However, the opinion is favorable
to union with the State body and
: such q step is expected to follow
when a quorum of officials con-
cur.
Plans are now in formative
state regarding a State tourna-
lnent and both Columbia and
Chevy Chase will likely enter
teams in the competition. When
staged, the tourney likely will be
held in the Baltimore sector. No
date has yet been selected for
the event.
Upon the broad shoulders >
of Bradley HI. Ted Burrows
remains Washington's hopes
to do anything with regard
to the public link golf cham
piOnShip. Burrows was the
only entrant of five to make
the grade at Jacksonville for
match play, tieing for twelfth
place among the SO qualifiers
with q neat and consistent
score of 7S, 7S-157, four
: lower than necessary to quail
% ify.
Both Louis Fuchs and Bob Bur
ton made valient efforts to gain
the charmed circle, but each was
three strokes above the required
limit. Fuchs scored rounds Of
82 in each days qualifying test.
while Burton came through with
: q nice 70 yesterday, This, how
ever, wasn't quite good enough to
offset his bad round Of IS on
Tuesday. Sam Parks and w. w,
Billings, the other local pair Of
entries, both floundered badly
and were away out of it.
Washington was able to finish
twelfth in the team scoring with
D. 667 total. !. Brooklyn copped
this. with a GIT score. The most
satisfaction the local entrants got
but of this competition was their
nbility to outscore Baltimore,
: which had a 677 total. Baltimore
only qualified one player for
match play, too, Eddie. Brown,
Jr., getting in with 100.
There's q young prOfes-
siOnaI, rather an assistant
g pro, in this town unsung and
almost unheard Of who Is
making such steady progress
In the past few months that
his name may soon become
!, . bywOrd i'm golf locally, If
not nationally, in the course
Of another year or two.
The youngster answers to the
name Of Frank Cunningham and
lis employed at the Burning Tree
: Club. Now there isn't a great
deal Of play at the Burning Tree
course at any time, say naught
aof the present with its heat
wave, SO Frank gets a good deal
s0f time to practice and play.
Franks brother Walter, OF
,'.Reds." as he is better known, is
the Burning Tree pro, and an
aother brother, Gilbert, also is one
of his assistants. Well, Reds" is
still the champion of the family
but it won't be long until Frank
sis wrestling these family laurels
from him.
For one thing, and it is most
Important, Frank has an ideal
'golfing temperament. More than
this, he also has the shots. There
isn't a club in the bag that Frank
hasn't just about completely
: mastered.
Infinite pains in practice
have made him. At best, prac-
tice is dull, routinish work,
but Frank is patient enough
to do it and do il thoroughly,
too. And he'll be reaping his
reward ere long. YOU can bet.
Just now Frank is playing quite
well. It doesn't matter what the
: course is either. Usually he is
. right around par, seldom going
over more than two or three
strokes. Rounds of 70 and 73
are the rule with him rather than
the exception. Now and then he
gets rain hot and drops down in
. the 6S's or SOS. His best over
his own course is a 81, which is
considerable scoring.
In about another year or two
at the most you'll be hearing and
seeing q lot of this young fel-
lows name in the papers or Wen
: miss our guess. All he needs Is
the experience; then look out!
