FIVE FARMS COURSE, BAL
TTMORE, Sept. 14.-Washington
golfers who missed out in the
qualifying rounds Of the national
amateur championship today can
look back and recall added strokes
which, II spared, would have
placed them in the fold for
match play rounds.
Washingto o mans felicitated
Brawner after he posted his l52
early yesterday afternoon for 1t
was assumed that this score had
safely qualified him without any
doubt. Then, as others reported
with lower cards, fears were ex-
pressed that Brawner's 152 would
gain him even q play.off for the
last qualifying place.
Breaks Again0t Peacock
Roger Peacock, 2l.year-old In.
dian Spring golfer and District
champion, might have been q
third party to this mornings
playoff had the goddess Of luck
smiled upon him on the last two
holes yesterday. He missed .
three-footer for q birdie 2 on the
seventeenth while his 10-footer
for birdie on the eighteenth
Tipped the cup. Had these two
puts fallen Peacock would have
finished with 152. lie registered
70 for his 1S holes Monday and
counted rs, five over par, yes
terday.
Peacock can look back over
his two days play and point
out wasted shots. particularly
the two strokes on the par fourth
second hole yesterday. For that
matter, Maury Nee and Harry
G. Pitt, the Manor Club en-.
trantS, can recall instances Of
unnecessary strokes.
There's the case Of Nee, who
placed third among the group Of
eight District golfers competing,
ending with q 36-hole summary
Of 156, adding an 30 yesterday
to his 76. It will be some time
before Nee forgets the first, sixth
and tenth holes.
Eight On One Hole
He three.putted the first, par
four, after reaching the putting
surface in three. After betting
out two fine wooden shots on the
par 5, sixth hole, his mashie
niblick shot struck the neck Of
the green and caromed off into
the trap. Nee pitched over the
green onto the roadway and ex.
pended two more strokes to get
on, taking two puts to hole out.
Nee drove into the ditch on the
tenth and then used up three
strokes to reach the green. He
also three.putted the twelfth and
thirteenth.
Brawner reeled off the most
sensational nine Of the competing
District players, covering the
final lap Of his afternoon round
in "a, one under par, yesterday.
This was accomplished by three
brides. He ran down a 40-footer
for a birdie 4 on fourteenth,
dropped a 30-footer for a birdie 2
on the seventeenth ana holed o
chip shot from off the edge Of
the eighteenth green for a birdie
3. He dropped a stroke to par
by trapping himself on the thir-
teenth and another stroke when
failing to get home in two on
the fifteenth.
Brawner Scores 81
Brawner was out in 80, going
one over par on the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth holes. He ap'
preached weakly at the fifth,
found the trap at the sixth, under
clubbed at the seventh, and his
ball overran the eighth green.
Harry g. Pitt added 78 to his
SO of the first day for 1871: Miller
B. STEVENSON placed and 50 against
his SO for 1853; Martin r. McCar-
thy scored SO for q final 169 and
Franklin N. Parks counted "a for
172. Billy Dettweiler, IA, and
youngest entrant in the tourney,
skyrocketed to 81 for 1855.
