BY JUNO KINERK


And what a set of golfers these
Hunters are!
First of all there is j. Monro
Hunter, sr., the Indian Spring
pro. His ability with q driver
and the other implements Of the
ancient Scottish pastime already
are well known to all local fol
lowers of golf. but two other
members of his family are begin
ming to crowd him for honors.
The more ilIuStriouS of his off
spring, j. Monro, jr., has recently
come to the fore as one of the
best amateurs hereabouts. His
most brilliant feat was recorded
last week in the annual Mary
land Country Club invitationai
journey. In this he defeated
Alex Knapp, Maryland State
amateur champ, in the second
round. and, after eliminating Al
bert Mackenzie, veteran Colum-
bia star in the semifinal, went
on to win the tourney from Billy
Howell, 18-year-old Richmond sem
sation, who is the Middle Atlantic
champion, by q and 2 margin.
But ]. MOnrO, jr., is not
the only chip off the old
block for Dorothy, his daugh-
ter, also is fast blOssOming
out into one of the most
likely feminine stars In these
parts.
AS yet Dorothy hasn't met with
the same success of her brother,
but it won't be long until she
does or else all signs of coming
promise fail. She has particl-
pated in a number of the tour
neys for the fair players in this
section all season without any
dazzling or sensational victories
but all the time she has been
consistent and gaining in ex-
perience. :,
While playing a practice round
at Indian Spring yesterday,
Dorothy stepped out in a large
way and cashed in on the
promise she has heretofore
shown. Playing with Mrs. S. F.
Gross, Dorothy blazed her way
around the first nine OF the
course in just 36 strokes for
new record for that half OF the
Journey. Owing to the heat, they
did not play the other half OF
the course. Her card, which is
lust one over mems par, and
four under women'S par, follows:
par ...... 5 4 so
Miss Hunter -. 5 6 S-S6
Except for. one slight Slip-up
On the part of her putter' Miss
Hunter would have equalled mems
par for the trip over the first
nine, Her lapse occurred on the
third hole, on which she required
three puts. But for this mis-
fortune her playing was tlawless
and her mark is likely TO noio
as long as George Diffenbaugh's
40 does for the sterner sex.
Call it l1eredity or environment.
ar what you will, but it must be
admitted that the Hunter family
trio could go out on any mans
course and ask quarter from none
in family golfing strife.
