BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Gene WILSON'S golf game is as
serting itself, much to the dis
may Of the favorite sons Of the
District.
The Smooth-swinging young
Ster from OLE Mississippi, who
came to Washington to work in
Senator Pat Harrison's office and
joined the Manor Club, today
stands triumphant in the cham
pionShip final of the twenty
fourth annual Chevy Chase Club
invitation tournament. He smoth-
cred w. Beverly Mason, jr., of
the host club, 7 and 6, in the
final round before an amazed
gallery yesterday.
Possesses All Requisites
Vinson, who has captured the
Mississippi open and amateur
championships for the past three
years, apparently has every
requisite of a fine golfer. A
powerful and straight driver, he
handles his irons with class and
is a skillful putter. This pleas
ant lad, whose drawl tells he's
from Dixie, will be hard to beat.
VinSon, who took the qualify
ing medal with 72, waded
through the field with little oppo-
sition. He was given only one
tight battle and that from his
friend and fellow Southerner,
Hickman Greene, of Louisiana, a
member Of the Argyle Country
Club, in the SemifinalS yesterday
morning. Vinson won on the
home hole when Greene missed
his second iron shot and dropped
the hole and match to Wilson's
par 4.
Mason failed to win a hole
against Vinson and was trailing
after the second hole, where he
three-putted for a six, Vinson tax
ing the hole with a S. They
halved the next four holes, but
VinSon annexed the seventh,
eighth and ninth to go 4 up,
Mason'S shots going everywhere
but the right place. Mason eli
NAKED his loose work by laying
himself a stymie at the ninth.
Gets 3 Brides In Row
There wasn't much that Mason
could do about Vinson's outburst
of brides on the last three holes,
unless he himself could throw in
few birds to keep the match
alive. Vinson ran down a 6-footer
for a birdie 2 at the tenth,
another six-footer for a birdie
three at the eleventh and a 25-
footer for a birdie three at the
twelfth to close out his rival.
Those three brides enabled Vinson
to score the twelve holes in even
par, requiring 38 strokes, three
over par, for the first nine.
Mason needed 43 blows for the
first nine. Contrasted against
this high scoring was his Sub-par
33 over the same route against
Maury Nee in the morning round
to be 4 up. Mason defeated Nee
by s. and 4. Summaries in all
