BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
With entries closing tonight at
6 p. m. the East Potomac Park
spring golf tournament is ex.
pected to attract a field Of at
least IS starters.
Ed Burns, handling the tourna.
ment, announces he has IS en-.
tries in hand. Included in this
number are many of the most
formidable Of public parks
players.
It is feared that John Downey,
who won the event last year,
will not defend his champion
ship.
Girl Enters Tourney
Among those entered are Har-
Ian Will, public parks champion:
Claude Rippy, w. w. Seay, Eddie
Stolark, Ray F.. Fleming, R. H;
O'Malley, Earl Jameson. Matt
Walker, Bob Marks and John
Connolly. Ted Burrows is a
doubtful starter.
Miss Betty Keeler, 19, and
promising girl golfer, is also en-
tered.
The tourney starts Monday with
an 18-hole qualifying round. The
low sixteen will be paired for the
championship flight with match
play rounds being played Tues
day and Wednesday,.
$50 May Compete
It wouldn't be surprising to find
close to $50 women golfers taking
part in the Star cup tournament
Monday and Tuesday at the In
dian Spring Country Club. This
is one of the major competitions
for the feminine brigade and each
year the field grows larger.
There were more than 130 en-
tries filed when the list closed and
post entries will probably add 20
more.
The coming week will find Dis.
trict golf booming with full force.
Other events, aside those men,
toned above, will be the twenty.
fourth annual Chevy Chase invi'
tation tournament, Tuesday to
Friday; national open qualifying
trials at Richmond on Monday;
Agriculture Department tourney
at Washington Golf and Country
Club Monday; District Govern
ment tournament Wednesday and
Thursday, and the second team
matches of the Women's District
Golf Association at Army and
Navy Country Club on Wednesday.
"Jitters" Ruin Rippy
A bad case of "jitters" seized
Claude Rippy in the final of the
championship flight OF the In.
dian Spring Country Club tourna-
ment yesterday afternoon and, as
a consequence, he took S and 4
lacing from the home entry, Rog"
er S. Peacock. The latter was in
command after capturing the
second hole and the issue was
never in doubt thereafterwards.
Rippy, usually steady putter.
lost the decision by sloppy work
around and on the greens. He
only putted unerring on one hole.
the sixth, where he dropped a +
footer for a winning birdie two.
That was the only hole he won,
by the way. Summaries:
