|SROUND|NG
To FORM
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Country Club youngster, will make
a strong bid to capture the Middle
Atlantic amateur golf champion
ship when the thirtieth annual
tourney is held at Hot Springs.
Va, July Is, 26 and ~.
Nee, who has never won major
title in this section, has been play
ing daily and reports that he is
fast getting back on his game.
He was unable TO take part in the
local tournaments this past spring
on account Of his studies at
Georgetown Prep but, with the
close Of school. he has much leis-
ure for golf.
One of the finest juvenile golfers
in this section, Nee hasn't accom-.
plished much in the bigger events
and his friends are at a loss to
find an explanation. Probably,
Maury will crash through with
flying colors in the Middle At
lantic.
Among Oldest Tournaments
The Middle Atlantic champion
ships are among the Oldest in the
United States and have been held
since 1905. No one has won the
event three times but this feat
will be within the grasp Of Billy
Howell, of Richmond. Howell
was winner in 1890 and 1881 and
is entered in the 1884 play.
Howell is admittedly not the
golfer of several years ago but
might regain his magic form.
A flock Of local golfers is ex.
pected to make the trip to Hot
Springs not only for the cham.
pionShip but also because Of the
pleasant trip offered. Hot Springs
is one Of the garden spots at. this
time Of the year and is welcome
relief from the sweltering city.
Special hotel rates will be given
those taking part in the tourna-
ment.
Entries close with walter H.
McCallum, executive secretary
treasurer Of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association, at the Hot
Springs Coli and Tennis Club,
Hot Springs, Va, on July "a at
2 p. m. The entry fee Is So.
Special Team Championship
There will also be a special
championship for five-man teams

Harry Saunders is going to the
