Evening star., 1933-05-19


Nee, 17-year-old links star from
Manor and Columbia, as the
youngster met Charles Maginnis, stocky
Catholic University student, in the Chevy
Chase tournament today. Golf tradition
has it that medalist seldom wins his
tournament, and If tradition works out,
Nee was due for a licking. But the
youngster, who shot 81 to win the
! qualifying round on Wednesday, is
stroking the ball so well he will take
a lot of beating from any one. Nee had
more than the winning Of golf match
on his mind as he left the first tee
against Maginnis, who halls from the
exclusive suburb of Brookline, Mass,
and who plays golf at Commonwealth.
For Maginnis yesterday gave Harry
Pitt, the Manor moose" one of the
worst beatings Harry has had since he
came up into the winning class. And
Nee is Harry's protege. 1t isn't often
that any golfer beats Pitt by and 3.
but that's what Maginnis did. And he
looked a winner all the way, for Harry
was sadly off form, scattering shots all
over the expansive Chevy Chase land
scape with the profigacy of broker
prior to October, 1929.
THE other semi-final today found the
i veteran John r. Miller from Beaver
Dam, clerk in Uncle Sans en-
ploy, who holds the Beaver Dam title
and the championship of club cham
pions," playing the towering 18-year-old
Chevy Chase and Burning Tree
This fellow Marinnis Is unite q
sticker. He hangs on and on, when
he should be licked. In other words
he doesn't know when the red light is
against him. Yesterday he was / up
on Parker Nolan in the first round
with l to 60. Nolan stuck his second
shot on the green at the eighteenth,
while Maginnis shot his ball into a
deep bunker. Nothing daunted by this
break, the lad from Boston went down
into the wilderness of sand and played
= shot four feet from the hole, sinking
OF the big hitter from Indian Spring.
Young Nee had a rough time with
Martin F. Mccarthy of Columbia in
the afternoon but he finally nosed out
the fighting gent with the Irish name
on the seventeenth. Indeed that first
flight at Chevy Chase inspired one
wag to remark that the theme song of
the tournament should be THE Wear
ing of the Green" what with names
like Shannon, Mccarthy, Slattery.
Nolan. Calvin, Maginnis and Mcbride
scattered through the list.
