for brides and pars may be over
| as far as majCr tournaments
| are concerned, but don't think
| that golf has been packed away in
the moth balls until next Spring. Not
by q jugful. Your golfer plays whether
Winter winds blow or rain falls, or
whether the calendar tells us it is De-
cember or June. Last week there were
two big golf tournaments in Baltimore,
involving many local entries, while one
club championship was decided. And
this week there are just as many big
events scheduled in these fine golfing
days Of Midoctober, when the best Of
the golfng season is with us.
Today the teams of the Indian Spring
Golf Club and the Columbia Country
Club are to match shots over the In
dian Spring course with the stake the
team championship Of the Maryland
State Golf Association. 1t seems rather
strange that two local teams snoulo
championship of the State of Mary
land. But the two local teams were
better in competition than the teams
representing clubs in Baltimore and
other sections of the State, and so
the match for the title Is on today be-
tween two local clubs. 1t is scheduled
for 1880 o'clock, and both CLUBS WIN
have their strongest aggregations IN
the field. for to the winners go not
alone the glory Of winning the cham
pionship, but also flock Of little silver
cups. To the runners-up go only glory,
for the association has not PROVIDED
prizes for the second-place team menu
bers. For a time there was some in
decision as to where the match snoulo
be played, but Capts. J. v. Browneh
of Indian Spring and M. B. Stevenson
of Columbia to- coin ana 6rowne1 H
won, And so the match will be played
at Indian Spring. .5either captain mas
made public his lineup, but here Is
the way the two teams lined up In the
semi-finaI matches last SUNDAY: Co
Ilnnbia-M B. STEVENSON, Everett Eynon'
CLYDE B. Asher, Norman j. Frost, w.
Carlton Evans, Albert r. Mackenzie,
Thomas P. Bones, George p. James
Paul J. FrizZell and L. w. Laudlck.
Indian Spring-Dr. L. s. Otell, Leroy
Sasscer, J M. Hunter, jr.; Elliott Spicer,
J. ". Brownell, J. William Harvey, Jr.i
Charles r. Morrow, Herbert l.. Lacey,
Sam Rice and Tom NJ. Belshe. boIn
teams are strong and the match should
be close, with the advantage leaning
toward Indian Spring because OF tne
familiarity of the team members WiIn
their own course.
And on Monday, while members OF
the Middle Atlantic Association OF
Greenkeepers are playing in q tourney
at the Suburban Country Club OF Bal
timore, q small field of women players
will be competing at Chevy Chase IN
the first round Of play for the clup
title. This event Is 36-hole medal
! play affair for the club title, at scratch,
with the final round to be concluded
Tuesday. Friday q large nelo OF
| players drawn from all the clubs afhlt-
/ ated with the Women's District Coll
| Association will gather at Chevy Chase
| to contest In a match play tourney. A
prize has been presented by Bob Bar
/ nett. the club pro, for the low medal
score. This prize is one OF the coveted
| sand wedges" which caused such
| commotion at the amateur champion
ship at Merton.
WHY is it that the professional
| w golfers Of the Middle Atlantic Sec
ton make their tournament an
open event? 1t seems strange that the
| men who work so hard to make the
| tournament success, and labor so long
| to raise the money TO make a siZeable
purse, throw the tournament open to
| the world, only to see the major part Of
| the prize money go to men who have
no interest in golf about this sector Of
the land, and only play in the tourney
in the hope of gathering in part OF
! the spoils. OF course, Gene SaraZen Is
the Middle Atlantic open champion be-
cause he played better golf than any one
else in the field, but to an outsider 1t
seems strange that the local boys should
not have had a cut at more than the
| meager slice of the prize money re-
served for them. It amounted to SITS
of a 81, 500 purse, IL our information is
correct, and the balance went TO the
visiting pros from the New York area.
Bob Barnett had a great chance to
win the tournament and played grand
golf for three rounds, until he ran into
trouble on the last round to take an
"a and finish far outside the big money
positions The Woodholme course Is q
layout tough enough to test the soul OF
any golfer, but Bob deserved far bet
ter than he got. Any man who is good
! enough to play level with SaraZen and
lead such men as Mehlhorn, Lacey
MacFarlane and Runyan for three
share of the prize money that Barnett
! got. The take at the gate was insig-
, rificant. Probably field made up only
i. of the pros from the mid-Atlantic area
would have done as well at the gate.
NEVER has the value of putting beer
J IN better proven than in the fina
match of the woman's Middle At
lantic championship last Friday al
Elkridge, where Mrs. NJ. Louise Bel
won the title In what the Baltimor,
/ golfers termed an upset victory owe,
Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow Of Eikridge. Mrs
