CAPITAL THREATS
Brilliant Field Assured on
Open Event at Kenwood
November 7 and 8.
BY w. X. McCALLUM,

ship, and the competitive golf
season around the National Capt.
tai will be ready to be packed
away in moth balls until Spring
bri-.SS another new standard golf
ball and renewed hopes for lower
scores to. the hearts of the buffers
who have consistently bewailed
the bigger and lighter sphere.
Only two big events remain on
the late Fall program around
Washington, but one of these
the National Capital open at the
Kenwood Golf and Country Club
early next month-should wind |
up the season in fitting style with
a display Of big-time golf such as
has not been seen around Wash
ington since 1921, when the ma
tional open was held at Columbia.
Most OF the fair links stars of Wash
ington and Baltimore will swing into
action tomorrow over the lengthy
course Of the Indian Spring Golf Club |
In the sixth annual women's champion |
ship OF the Middle Atlantic Golf AS |
ISOLATION. Mrs. M. Louise Bell of the
Rodgers Forge Club OF Baltimore will
defend the title she won last year
against the assaults Of one Of the
strongest fields OF fair divot diggers
ever to gather for the Midatlantic title. |
Only one mistress OF the art OF golf in
this section will be missing when the |
field gathers at the first tee at Indian
Spring tomorrow. Virginia Holzderber |
who won the title In 1928 and Is ranked |
among the first 20 women players in
the country. will not be able to play. !
On the record the two local stars
Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes of Columbia
and Mrs. Betty p. Meckley Of Indian
Sprtng-hgure to be strong contenders
for the championship. Mrs Meckley
will be playing on her home course
while Mrs. Haynes is at the very crest
OF her game, as she showed in scoring
10 to win the final round in the Co
lumbia championship last week The
tourney will conclude on Friday and
there will be enough flights to include
all the competitors.

A LEX ARMOUR already has written
IA his brother Tommy, asking that
Tommy bring down to Washington |
two or three days in advance Of the
Kenwood open scheduled for Novem-
Der and 81 couple or more star pro-
fessional performers, with the hope |
that an exhibition match or two may |
be arranged at Congressional in ad-
vance of the Kenwood open. He has
not heard from Tommy, but Is certain |
that Tommy will come to Washington |
with another star or two far enough In
advance of the Kenwood open to play
a round or two at Congressional. This
Kenwood open will have all the star
professional golfers of the East in the !
list-no doubt of that. Attracted by a
purse of more than $4,000. put up ut
PinehuIst for the pro-pro best-ball
event on November 10 and IL. the pros
will be delighted to stop off in WASH
ington for two or three days to pick up
the easy dough that lies In the offing
at KenWood.
In all a purse totaling $2,550 has
been put up for the Kenwood affair,
and the entry list looks like that at
a national open, barring the entries OF
the champion and runner-up of this
year. Billy Burke and George Won
Elm are far too busy picking up easy
money in exhibition tours to come to
Washington to play for problematical
slice of the prize money next month
and the probability Is that neither OF
them will show here. The kenwood
open is to be 54-hole affair, with IL
holes to be played on SATURDAY Novem-
Der 7. and sc holes on Sunday, NoVem-
Der 8. An admission fee OF 81 per per-
son will be charged to watch the pros
in action. and all entrants will pay a
fee of IS including the few amateurs
who will .enter. The first 60 players
and ties will play in the final 36-hole
ioust on Sunday and most of the pros
will leave Sunday night for Pinehurst.
THE final round in one club cham
l. pionship is scheduled for today
and the second and third rounds
in another is slated. Henry Phipps
and John r. Miller are listed to play
in the final round today for the Beaver
Dam Club, title, while Howard Nord-
iinger, present title holder at WoodI
mont. will strive to win through two
match-p play rounds III defense of his
The Indian Spring
championship is on today. but prob
