trict amateur champion, faced Shorey,

stage by firing near-par golf at their
opponents in yesterdays two blistering
rounds which found all the contestants
playing through heavy downpour OF
rain before the matches were over.
The feature Of the first days play
was the meeting between Peacock ana
Harry G. Pitt, Manor Club star. This
pair had not met in match play 1or
Several wears. Last Fall at Chevy
Chase Peacock took the District anna
teur crown from Pitt. They met in the
second round and for nine holes bat
tied on even terms. But over the sec
ond nine Peacock's unerring accuracy
told as Pitt, growing ever wilder from
the tee. scattered shots all over the
landscape to permit the black-halred
champion to win holes with par. Al
though Roger three-putted the fifteenth
and sixteenth greens to permit Pitt to
win both holes, it was too late, Tor Pea
cock holed a 30-footer to halve the
seventeenth and win the match by 2
