- strange things.
Three club champions will
start tomorrow and Wednes-
day in the chase for the Columbia
Country Club golf title and all three
Of them are favorites to win the
title now adorning the brow Of Miller
B. Stevinson. How come? Well.
STEVENSON is the champion at Colum-
bia. But Martin F. Mccarthy, who
holds the Beaver Dam crown, also
is a member of Columbia and will
play. So will Luther c. Steward, jr.,
who yesterday won his second Con-
gressional championship and who also
is a member of Columbia. And SO.
unusual as it may seem, there will
be three club champions out there
playing for the Columbia club title
Never before has anything like that
happened at a club championship
around Washington.
Demure little Lily Harper, l8-year-
old Virginia State champion from
Portsmouth, Va, is the first of the
leading feminine golfers to enter the
Middle Atlantic championship, which
will start a week from today at the
Washington Golf and Country Club.
That coming tourney promises to be
one of the best in the nine-year his
tory of the title event, with Miss
Harper, runner-up last year, as the
outstanding star. Mrs. Dorothy White
Nicolson, five times District champion,
probably will play as a representative
of the host club. Entries are to close
on Friday.
MYTH two club title Journeys
w having been decided yester-
day, still another is to be
settled on Thursday, when Harry G.
Pitt and j. William Harvey, jr., clash
for the Manor Club crown. Luther
c. Steward, jr.. successfully defended
his Congressional crown yesterday and
Russell Hollebaugh, representative Of
a sporting goods house, put on a
great burst Of speed to win the Ken
wood title, scoring a SO over the first
half of the scheduled 36-hole final
to set an unofficial amateur course
record at Kenwood.
Winning his way to the final by
4-and-3 victory over Bill Jones,
Steward met Frank Goodwin in the
final Goodwin had licked Billy Dett-
weller by and in an upset, but
against Steward he never was able
to get going. 1t was Goodwin's first
final and the youngster plainly was
nervous, as the titleholder ploughed
on to a decisive win. Other results:
Second f1ight-W H Wenzel defeated
Troy Carmichael, up. Third flight
Pat Winkler defeated A. B. Clark,
2 and 1. Fourth flight-Ray Karcher
defeated T. M. Mather. and 2.
Fifth f1ight-F. Kerby defeated Neil
Burkinshaw, 2 and 1. Sixth flight

3 and l. Seventh flight-E. E. ALL
wine defeated T. H. Todd, 2 and 1.
Eighth fiight-Maj. F. M. Dawson
defeated L. c. Steward, sr., and 8.
Hollebaugh and Bernard Dennell
had won their way to the final of
the Kenwood tourney last week.
Stepping over the first nine in 33.
Hollebaugh went up. He preserved
this margin by playing the last nine
in So and went to lunch 4 up yes
terday.
Dennell shot rounds Of 70 and IA,
good enough to win normally, but no
good against Hollebaugh, who closed
him out by 4 and 3.
Meanwhile in the front Office at
1,,1 Officials nnnnaFnnd
over the way entries for the National
Capital open tourney are coming IN.
With the big affair only five days
away a handful of pros have entered.
But probably most of them will enter
when they arrive here this week, prob
ably about Wednesday or Thursday,
and by midweek the course will be all
cluttered up with pros seeking the
$4,000 prize dough. With Runyan,
Sarazen. Farrell, MacFarlane, Horton
Smith. Leo Diegel and smattering of
other stars, the tourney cannot miss
being success.
