STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

TWO others who lugged heavy golf
i bags as kids in those distant days
and now reign as champions OF
their respective clubs are William P.
Di Este, the croSs-handed expert from
Argyle, who won the club title the other
day in a hot scrap with j. B. Harmon,
and John R. Miller. the smooth-strok-
ing little chap who won the Beaver
Dam title from Jesse Baggett. Both
Miller and Baggett were among the
hopeful youngsters of those old days at
Columbia.
The Brightwood Ex-Caddies' tourna-
ment is an 18hole medal play handicap
affair. But it is far more than a golf
tournament to those men who form
the association. Down through the
years they have seen men from their
ranks come to almost complete domi-
nance of golf in this section a domi-
nance that reached its peak in 1926
and 1927. when Voigt won everything
there was to be won hereabout. Quite
a Journey for lot of lads 20 years ago
who hoped some day to be able to play
golf little bit.
Voigt has assured Harry Pitt, preSl-
dent of the association, that he viii be
here for the tourney. and there is just
a chance that George may remain
around Washington long enough to take
a crack at the National Capital open
tourney at Kenwood a week later. Stick
him in that field and he would have
as good chance as most of the pros.
Few of them can move faster than
the Brightwood "Dutchman" when ne
is right.
