STEVINSON N
HIS VICTIM
3 YEARS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Four consecutive victories Will
be the aim of Harry G. Pitt,
Manor ace, when the twenty-first
annual invitation golf tourna.
ment of the Chevy Chase Club
gets under way next week.
Pitt is the only competitor in
the history of the tournament
who has captured the event three
times, winning the tourney in
1928, 1929 and 1880. Oddly.
Miller B. STEVENSON. of Columbia
has been his victim in the finals
for the past three years.
The Chevy Chase golf tourna-
ment is the oldest in this section
and several of the country S
most brilliant golfers have been
participants since its start in
1911.
Back in 1911, the late Chief
Justice William Howard Taft,
then President of the country,
donated a cup which was to
remain in the permanent pos
session of the club while the
winner was to receive a replica
and also have his name in
scribed on the original. Vice
President James S. Sherman
at the same time presented
cup for the runner.up.
