MANOR STAR
ADDSSECOND
VICTORY :
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

10 become Lne NO, l amateur
golfer of the District for 1884.
Pitt hung up his second sue
cessive tournament victory within
two weeks by handing Frank K.
Roesch, medalist from the host
club, a 3 and 2 trimming in the
final of the championship flight
of the Washington Golf and
Country Club tourney.
Not only does Pitt appear
headed for the number one spot
in the District, but he is also gun
ming for top laurels in the Middle
Atlantic section.
Sticks Near Par
Never down in his match with
Roesch, Pitt stuck close to par
while the clock-like game Of
Roesch, which had brought him
to the final, begged slightly.
Pitt broke out into the lead with
birdie three on the first hole
where he ran down a 15-footer.
He went two up at the third where
Roesch ditched his drive. They
halved the next five holes but
Roesch cast aside a chance to cut
Pitts margin by blowing a wee
putt on the ninth.
The finalists halved the next
two holes but RoeSch took the
twelfth, dropping a 25-footer for
winning par four, the only hole he
won. With the thirteenth halved,
Pitt again went 2 up by scoring
birdie 2 on the short four
teenth. sinking a two-footer. The
fifteenth went to Pitt when
Roesch drove into the ditch,
Pitt winning with par S and be-
coming dormie 3. They halved
the sixteenth and Roesch walked
over to shake the victor's hand.
Barely Escapes Defeat
Pitt encountered his toughest
struggle in the tournament from
John C. Shorey, of KenWood Coun-
try Club, whom he defeated in
the semifinals, up. Indeed, Pitt
was on the brink of defeat stand
ing on the seventeenth tee, /
down. He topped his iron shot
into the trap, some 100 yards
distant while Shorey drove safely
over the ditch.
But you cant count this Pitt
fellow out-not until the winning
putt is holed. Pitt took his No. 2
iron and lifted that ball from the
sand trap right on the green.
Shorey, playing for a halved mole,
was too cautious and was short
with his approach. He required
two puts for after getting on
while Pitt two-putted for a win
ming to even the match.
Both had good drives on the
final hole but were short with
their approaches. Pitt Clipped up
within three feet and sunk his
putt while Shorey was unable to
run down 5-footer for a half.
Evens Match With Birdie
Roesch eliminated Joe De-
Stephano, a Georgetown Law
School student and entered from
the Bannockburn Club, 3 and 2,
in the semifinals. Roesch was
trailing until the tenth. where he
squared the match with a birdie
and then went on to take three
of the next six holes. Summaries:
