OHAIRMAN ROBERT STEAD,
1 JR., of the Chevy Chase
~ Club Golf Committee, to-
day announced the days
on which the course will be open
for practice to entrants in the
sectional qualification round for
the national amateur champion
ship, and at the same time the
District Golf Association cracked
the whip over the heads of the
80 entrants in the sectional round
with the warning that any con-
testant more than IS minutes
late for his starting time in the
tourney will be disqualified.
Stead announced that the Chevy
Chase course will be open to local con-
testants IN the elimination rounds for
practice on Thursday and Friday.
August Il and Il, and Monday, August
Is. The elimination rounds will be
played on August 16, and 19 of the SO
entrants will qualify at 36 holes on that
day for the championship. The title
tourney itself will be played at the
Baltimore Country Club, starting on

In addition to the three days assigned
the local entrants (Which means from
clubs near Washington for practice at
Chevy Chase, Stead said that entrants
from outside the Washington area also

that the number of persons practicing
on these days will not be large. for week
end play at Chevy Chase by the men,
berS Of the club is fairly heavy and con-
gestion on the course is feared If q
large number of tournament entrants
are added to the regular play at Chevy
Chase on Saturday and Sunday.
THE District Golf Association, through
l. Secretary William c. Barr. declared
that under no circumstances can
any Of the S9 entrants be allowed more
than Is minutes grace after their
allotted starting time I'VE have to get
play golf Barr said. land with the
last pair starting at nearly $3.50 o'clock
IN the afternoon we must have time
for a possible play-off. Therefore, we
urge every entrant to be ready to play
ct his assigned time. In any case the
l5-minute disqualification rule will be
enforced. We must do this to allow
time for play-of if a play-of Is
necessary" This is in line with the
custom Of the National Association in
running off its championships Several
players have been disqualified in past
years for failure to show up at the
aCNTa1nd
Compston, famous British professional,
was disqualified in the National Open
at Toledo for being late in reporting
for play
The Golf Committee and the Board of
Governors of the Chevy Chase Club
have been uniformly generous in their
treatment of entrants In the uuahffra4
ton rounds. They have opened the
course to some of the entrants without
payment Of green's fees and the same
procedure Will be followed in the days
open for practice in advance of the
elimination rounds
To do this on course which has
such heavy play almost every day is
indeed generous The only stipulation
is that those entrants who practice
over the course on the days assigned
for such practice must have their re-
ceip5 of entry fee from the United
States Golf Association This stipula-
ton Is made simply to avoid unusual
congestion on the course and to ia
cilitate the play Of those who intend to
practice.
a MOTHER eagle deuce has been
"A made ON one Of the short par
holes around Washington But
/ this time it was made in regulation
manner bv driving the green and hol-
irg the putt. George Dtffenbaugh, In
dian Spring professional. made it on
the fourth hole at the Manor Club a
few days ago. where he drove the green
within feet of the cup and sank the
putt
The hole measures 2S2 yards from tee
to green, and is well trapped 1t also
IS uphill to the green, so you can see
that the little Indian Spring pro hit
himself quite Wallop from the tee.
He was playing with his wife and Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Harvey, ir. The male
member Of the Harvey family sank a
bird on the hole but lost it to Diff
fenbaugh's eagle deuce.
DUDOLPH T. HARRELL of the
II Washington club hasn't played
much golf this season, bat when
he did come out for a whirl around his
He has a Summer place on Chesapeake
Bay and has been down there more
often than he has played golf at Wash
ington. But he came back 10 the club
a day ago and put on a show that has
net been seen around Washington in
mony moons.
He did nothing but play the last four
holes in consecutive brides, finishing
those last four holes, A. 3, 8, 3. His
cecond shot on the seventeenth hole
nearly went into the cup, Par for those
holes is 5, 4, 4, 4.
WASHINGTON entrants IN the ANA
w teur championship are elated at
the large number of places as
igned to this section by the U. 8. G. A.
for the sectional tests on August l6.
They all hope to qualify and the senti-
mert of most of them is expressed
something like this: If We can't get
Srcund Chevy Chase in a pair Of 60s we
cent want to play in the championship
A pair of 80s ought to qualify with 19
places opcn. It's just like qualifying
in the first flight of the middle Atlantic
championship"
