w YITH the remaining semi-f1nal
M round due to be completed
v v today, the uptown" cham
pionship at Rock Greek Park
will be completed by midweek, with
Volney G. Burnett probably meeting
Bradley H. Burrows in the final round.
None of your dyed-in -the-wool followers
of golf will concede that Dave Bent can
whip the steady and straight-shooting
Burrows, so the betting is that Burrows
will whip Bent in the semi-f1nal and
meet Burnett in the ultimate round on
Wednesday. Harry Graham, manager at
Rock Greek Park, is speeding up all the
preliminary rounds in order that all the
final round may be played on Weones-
day.

hole victory over Boots" HANNA. But

quired to reach a decision in the match
between Mike Oliveri and J. j. Murray.
