BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

W YOMAN golfers of the
w Capital are drawing near
Y Y the end of their extern
sive early competitive
schedule. But before the open
season for tournaments draws to
an end until early in August,
when an open day will be staged
at Washington, two important
matters are to be settled among
the fair club-Swingers about the
Capital. First and most important
of these is the team champion
ship of Washington, in which two
teams are virtually deadlocked as
the last of two matches scheduled
this year is being played today at
the Woodmont Country Club.
Columbia Country Clubs crack wom-
ems team. which includes Mrs. j. Mar
win Haynes, District and Middle At
lantic titleholder, led an amazingly
strong aggregation from the Kenwood
Golf and Country Club by the slim
margin of p point as first teams from
10 clubs met today in the last Of two
matches scheduled. The team matches
will wind up for first teams ON July
II at Columbia.
100 Expected to Play.
DUT the outstanding event Of the
Il year for the women with high
handicaps is scheduled next Mon
day, when some 100 or more feminine
devotees Of the art Of extracting divots
from well-groomed fairwayS will conf
pete for the handsome trophy put up
Of the Women'S District Golf ASSo-
citation. With that altruistic attitude
characteristic of all presidents of the
women's golf associations, Miss Harris
has put in competition a cup that bids
fair to rival the Keefer Trophy and
the Corby Trophy in popularity. Both
these cups were placed in competi-
tion by former presidents. But Miss
Harris cup has more potent appeal
than either, for where the Corby and
Keefer Trophies usually fall to the
better players. no golfer with a handi-
cap of less than 16 can win the Harris
Cup. Miss Harris declines to call her
event the buffers" tourney, but at
the same time she limits competitors in
the coming event to those with handi-
caps from 16 to 36 inclusive.
Prizes Plentiful.
90 the tourney next Monday at
- Indian Spring will be truly hon-
day for the buffers. who can go
out and scatter their shots in any and
all directions without fearing the more
accurate wallops of the Haynes, the
Popes, the Dettweilers and the other
better players who usually figure high
up in the scratch events. Plenty Of
prizes in addition to the major cup,
will be made available for the high
handicap women. Among those who
have donated prizes are Mrs. Douglas
Tschiffely Of Washington and Mrs. j.
F. Gross of Indian Spring.
Players with handicaps below 16 are
welcome to play for special prizes, but
they will not be eligible for the Harris
Trophy. The course will be open for
practice tomorrow up to l pm. and
entries are being received either by
Miss Harris, Mrs. Gross or Mrs. TSchif-
fely. ...:
DR.. s. B. Muncaster, one of the golf

the American Medical Association con-
vention at Milwaukee few days ago.
