~ around Washington, already
~ spurred to new heights with the
Maryland open tournament last
week, will remain constant throughout
October and November. Professionals
of the Middle Atlantic area have de-
cided to hold another Middle Atlantic
Professional Golfers Association tour
nament in october.
Instead of making this a medal play
event, open to the world, as it has been
for several years past, the pros have
decided to revive the match play tour
ney which they staged two years ago.
The tourney, which will be open only
to pros connected with Middle Atlantic
clubs, will be played over the course Of
the Woodmont Country Club on Oc-
tober II, 10 and IA.
An 18-hole qualification round on the
morning of October IL will qualify the
leading 16 pros, who will square away
for the first match play round IN the
afternoon. Two match play ROUNDS on
October Is will leave brace Of sur
vivors who will battle through 36-hole
match play round on october IA.
A similar tourney was staged at the
Baltimore Suburban Club two years
ago and was won by Robert T. Bar
nett, Chevy Chase professional, who
beat j. Munro Hunter Of Indian Spring
in the final round.
With this tournament and the Ma
tional Capital open, scheduled at Ken
wood in November, the pros will have
busy Fall season.
The pros have decided not TO hold
the usual 72-hole medal play tourney
called the Middle Atlantic open, be-
cause 1t win simply be duplicate OF
the Maryland open and because a suf-
ficient purse would be hard to raise at
this time.
CENIOR golfers of the Chevy Chase
- Club, already engaged in two match
play events, are to have more tour
naments this Fall. The Golf Commit
tee of the seniors association today

week. with pairings to be announced on

teur, and Gene Larkin, assistant pro
at Chevy Chase, tied for first place at

tourney staged yesterday at the Balti-
more Suburban Club. David Crook and
Carroll T. McMaster, the Rolling Road

The Hunter combination, father and
son. from Indian Spring, tied for sec
ond place with better ball Of 60, with
@. j. Campbell and Glenn Spencer of
the Maryland Country Club and Spen-
Ger Overton and Cliff Spencer of Forest
Park. One of the factors contributing
to the success of the Larkin- Mackall
team was an eagle 8 on the 5o0-yard
ninth hole.
THE open tourney at Kenwood in No
l. vember will become a 54-hole af-
fair. under the terms Of an agree
ment entered into between the Ken
wood Club and the P. G. A. The latter
body suggested that the first day be
given oven to an 18-hole qualification
round, with the first so players and ties
to play SO holes on the next day. This
will be done. Meanwhile o. p. Fits,
greens supervisor at Columbia. is pro-
ceeding with a program Of retrapping
the course, which will make it much
more difncult affair than 1t ever has
been.
The new nine-hole layout at Ken
wood, west of the River road. is sched-
uled to be opened on Thursday with an
exhibition match in which Virginia
Williams. the Kenwood champion, and
