Fred Mcleod, the Columbia pro.
Asher, Just now is playing about as
good golf as any amateur about the
Capital. He added another trophy to
his collection yesterday by winning the
low gross prize In the Racquet Club
tourney at the Manor Club, registering
a gross 70 to lead Harry G. Pitt, Manor
Club ace, by two strokes. Nearly three
score members of the Racquet Club and
score of guests took part in the tour
ney, for which a number of prizes were
offered. Asher played steady and con-
Sistent golf to score both mines in 36 for
his card of u, which is one more than
par.
First low net prize went~to A. w. How
ard, one-armed golfer of the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club, who shot
85-20-65. A tie resulted for second
low net between Hugh Mackenzie,
83-15-68 and Frank p. Wilcox, who
had 92-24-6S. Ray F. Clarity, chair
man of the Manor golf committee and
Charles T. Claggett, were single stroke
back with net cards Of SO. Ray Semmes
received a box of golf balls for the high
est score, running up the glorious count
of 124.
Bill Storay, president of the Twilight
ers. that league of sun-dodgers who play
golf as darkness descends at Rock Creek
Park, writes to inform us that we were
all wet in giving Earl McAleer the post
as winner of the initial tourney of the
loop. EarlS name heads the list at
Rock Greek, but Storay informs us that
the star Southpaw must meet the winner
of section 8 before he can be declared
the final winner.

been held in the past four weeks by the
TWilighterS. with the following results
First week-Al Price, winner; Bill
Storay, runner-up; second week-Ar-
thur Urban, winner: AL Price, runner
