INDIAN SPRING HEAD.
SHOOTS SNAPPY 6.
Disregards Custom to Lead
Tournament-MeI Shorey
Steals a March.
BY W. r. McCALLUM.

lOul lldIllclllS. IlCSlucllCo uou-
ally are retiring gents, in so far
as golf ability is concerned, and
are not customarily chosen for
their ability to knock a golf ball
around in the minimum number
of strokes.
H A. Mihills of Indian Spring is a
regular golf club president, which
means that he is not among the first
flight of the golfers of the club. and
that he is honest about his scores.
But what is there to bar a club presi-
dent from winning trophy. If he is
good enough to do it? Nothing. an
swers Mihills. as he contemplates the
rs he shot to lead the golfers of the
Indian Spring Club in the chase after
the CayWoOd Cup.
MOT every day can the best of the
~ golfers Of the club Wallop the pill
around that tough Indian Spring
course in rs, but Mihills did it in COM
petition. Today he is far in the lead
in the 72-hole tourney for the Caywood
trophy. If he turns in three more
rounds anywhere near as good as that
opening rs he will walk home with
the cup. For that 76. with II handi-
cap off. gives him a net of IS for the
first round, strokes better than the
net 69s registered by A. H. Murray and
S. B Pierson, who had 93-24-69 and
Sl-12-69 c. H. Willingham has
turned in four complete scores already,
for a 72-hole net total of 298. This
figure probably will not win the trophy.
for each year some golfng gent comes
along with flock Of phenomenal
% tLa C,,,
year if memory serves. some prepos-
ferrous score in the neighborhood of
net 263 won the tourney. But if Mi
hills keeps on as he has started, you
will see the unusual sight of club
president winning an important club
tourney.
While the men at Indian Spring are
engaged in the chase after the Caywood
Cup, the feminine golfers Of the club
are deadlocked in the 36-hole tourney
for the Wineman trophy. 36-hole
medal play handicap event. Mrs. Aline
Heap has turned in two complete scores
in this tourney. scoring 1876, with
"a handicap for a net of 166. Mrs.
James V. Brownel has finished her first
round with a card of 93-10-S3, and
three others are tied at net "a. They
are: Mrs. Betty p Meckley 88-4-84; ;
Mrs. H. H. Shinnick. 102-18-84, and
Mrs R. D. White, 107-23-S4.
THE local pros are telling yarn Of
j how Mel Shorey. East Potomac
Park pro, stole march on the rest
of the boys by appearing for the recent
Shenandoah Valley open Unexpectedly
and stepping out TO take second money
in the tourney Al Houghton of Ken
wood had asked Shorey to go with him
to Staunton. and Shorey had told him
he couldn't make it. The day before
the tourney Houghton again phoned
Shorey. and got the answer that Shorey
vas away. Where is he?" Houghton
asked. Down In Virginia. came the
answer. Then Al smelled a rat But
he didn't really suspect Shorey had
gone to Staunton until he learned that
the East Potomac Park mentor had gone
down to Staunton the day before and
had a practice round over the course.
That practice really came to light when
Shorey shot 50 in the opening round.
But the yarn goes further. Shorey had
a 7-stroke lead over Houghton with 16
holes to go, and he laid something like
312 to l that Al couldn't catch him.
Houghton did catch him and top him
by l stioke. knocking over an eagle
where Shorey took a 6, and getting a
bird 3 on another hole where Shorey
took another 6. And don't think there
par chasers. They have it hot and
heavy every time they meet.
