- PRACTICALLY every woman golf
- er of prominence In the Middle
Atlantic area has entered or


plans to enter the championship
tourney of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association, which opens next Monday
morning over the course Of the Indian
Spring Golf Club.
Entries for the tourney are scheduled
to close Saturday afternoon at the club
with w. R. McCallum, secretary Of the
association, although 1t is likely that
post entries will be accepted.
THE course of the club is to be open
for practice by the competitors on
Thursday and Friday, and with the
tourney again held at a Washington
club it is probable that banner entry
list will play. Last year, in the cham
pionship tourney at the Elkridge Hunt
Club a field of about 90 women COM
peted for the title, which was won by
Mrs. M Louise Bell Of the Rodgers
Forge Club of Baltimore.
This year the association hopes to
pass this number, in view of the in
creased interest in golf among the
women of the city and the added en-
tries expected from such points as Bal
timore, Richmond and Norfolk.
The tourney will open with an 18-
hole qualification round next Monday,
to be followed by four match-play
rounds on the morning of each of the
four following days. There will be a
flight for every contestant who en-
tiers, which means that if there are 80
cards turned in five flights will COM
pete.
Women's par for the Indian Spring
course is 76 par that never has been
equaled. Several scores of 80 have
been registered for the layout by such
fine players as Mrs. ]. Marvin Haynes
and Dorothy Hunter. These two will
be among the entrants, along with a
considerable delegation of fair golfers
from Baltimore, including Mrs. Bell,
the present champion. Mrs. E. Boyd
Morrow, runner-up last year; Mrs w.
Fairfield Peterson and Miss Virginia
Holzderber, also are expected to be
among the Baltimore entrants.
The tourney will bring to an end the
big events for women in this area for
1881. Entries must be accompanied by
the fee of So.
THE final match which will deter
i mine the team championship OF
the Maryland State Golf ASsocia-
ton will be played next Sunday on the
course of Rolling Road Golf Club be-
tween Indian Spring Golf Club and
Baltimore Country Club. Indian Spring
will enter the same team that has been
successful in winning it's way to the
final round in the team title chase.

Cliff McKimmie of White Flint.
