JUDGED by the showings made by
Harry G. Pitt and Miller B. Stevin-
son in the Baltimore Country Club
tourney at Five Farms, which ended
yesterday, both these Capital stars will
be in the thick of the fight for the
national amateur championship over the
same course next September II both get
past the sectional qualifying test at
CHEVY Chase in August. Both have
shown that they like the Five Farms
course and both performed notable golf
ing feats on Friday afternoon, when
Pitt whipped Max Marston by and z
