A ND they say golf is an old
~ mans game.

II mans game.
1 \ A couple of fresh faced
kids, one of whom is barely
past his majority, and the other
a veteran" of 18 years, were play
ing off for the District amateur
golf championship this afternoon
over the course of the Indian
Spring Country Club on which
they tied for the title yesterday
with 304 for the 72-hole distance.
Gone were all the veterans who
had started in the tourney.
Only the kids were left. Roger Pea
cock, black-haired Indian Spring star
who won the title last year, and Rich
ard Lunn, the tall Chevy Chase lad
who confounded all the experts Gnclud-
ing myself by coming through with
a fine exhibition of golf over the last
day to tie for the title. They were to
60 18 holes this afternoon to decide the
championship.
Peacock. playing like duffer, tossed
the title around over the last nine late
yesterday, after a brilliant II in the
morning. which was bettered by Lunn's
sub-par 10. and left the two youngsters
to 60.
When Peacock got out In 80
on the last round and Lunn took
40, giving him a four stroke ad-
vantage it appeared as II raven
haired Roger was to win another
championship easily.
But he finished in a whirl Of duffer-
like golf. going one over par on each
Of the last three holes, for a Al, 70,
and total Of 304. Meanwhile Lunn,
heartened by hearing the bad news Of
his rival, burned up the track for the
first seven holes Of the last nine and
stood on the seventeenth or seventy
first tee needing a brace Of pars to win
by two strokes. But he was trapped at
the seventeenth and took 4, and at
the final hole, playing his second shot
to the right to avoid traps. he over
played the green and took a S. tieing
Peacock, when a would have won
outright.
The scoring 1Uas high, for the
youngsters finished tC1th an dDer-
age of 76-nOne too good ouer
course 1Uhich is made to order for
sluggers like Peacock and Lunn.
Maj. Richard K. Sutherland Of In
dian Spring, who was tied with Pea
cock over the first two rounds, slipped
badly in the third round to an 80,
finishing with IS to win third place,
John R. Miller of Beaver Dam and
Billy Dettweiler of Congressional tied
for fourth place with 800. The others
were too far out to figure.
IRIS. DAVID H. CLARK of the
VI Army-Navy Country Club loomed
today as a formidable rival to
Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes in coming tour
neys. as the woman who played in
the successful team match with Balti-
more yesterday contemplated her rec
