Here's the rollcaN on the other
Journeys in which Otel partici-
pated and the results:
AT Columbia he was paired with
Roger Peacock. The latter tied
with w. C. "Chick" Evans for
the medal with 73.
AT Burning Tree in the District
amateur he was paired with Frank
Roesch and Johnny Shorey.
Roesch won and Shorey was Sec
ond.
At Woodholme, in the Mary
land State handicap event, he
was paired with Dave Cook, and
/. Dave won.
At Rolling Road yesterday in
the Maryland State open he was
paired with Glenn Spencer, and
Spencer won.
Try and beat this for a record!
So, it's little wonder that doc"
has ideas of his value as q
partner. It's a one-Way guarantee
OF victory.
The line forms at the right,
gentlemen, insofar as getting in
your application to be paired with
Otell for the Mid-Atlantic Open
Championship october 8 and 10
at Woodholme, the last tourna-
ment TO any significance in this
section this year. Maybe his
luck for his fellow partner will
hold out for him in this one too.
Some unjust criticism has
been heaped upon John
ShOrey for play that came
up on the final green in the
District Amateur event at
Burning Tree.
On this hole Johnny was on
In two. Neither Roesch and DR..
Otell, his two partners, were on.
Needing birdie to tie Roesch, for
The championship, Shorey was
tntently studying the line of his
twenty-foot putt, apparently OBJ
liviouS to all else.
He waited for Roesch to shoot
up on from the bank on the
left hand trap. Roesch was in
side him, so Shorey who, by this
time had been studying his putt
fully two minutes, banged it to-
ward the cup without waiting for
Otell to play up.
Johnny's putt failed RoeSch
took two puts, getting five and
thus won the championship by a
single stroke. But Shorey' had
cut down four strokes on Roesch
in the last five holes at that.
Then Otell pitched up and
finished out the hole AS they
walked from the green the under
current of criticism against Shorey
began for not waiting until Otell
had come up. Here's what Otell
says of this matter.
81 was out of the picture.
/ knew how Johnny felt.
knew he needed that birdie and
also knew that the nerve ten
sion and pressure was terrific.
So 1 told him to putt without
waiting for me to come up"
There you are, golfers. If the
man who was playing with him
waived his chance to let Shorey
shoot whenN he did, it is certainly
reasonable for golfers to be more
tolerant of the feelings of this
slightly-built youngster who is
just as fine gentleman and
golfer as Washington knows.
Glenn Spencer, Maryland Coun,
. try Club pro, who is having a
fine year, grabbed off the $3.50
first money in the Maryland
State Open yesterday at Rolling

I q co-leader at the end of the
morning round with 73. He fal-
tered In the afternoon with a

up to the lip and hanging there.
He had at least half a dozen Of
these.
