Harry Pitt, who retired the old Balti-

not compete at Five Farms, and the
present outlook is that only few of
Washington's outstanding links stars
Will play at Baltimore. Not all the
local pros are planning to go over to
Baltimore to play in the Middle At
lantic P. G. A. tourney at Hillendale,
either. This affair starts tomorrow
and although Al Houghton of Ken
wood, smarting over his failure to
qualify for the national open, will be
a competitor. the tourney will get
along without such stars as Roland
Mackenzie and Bob Barnett, pros at
Congressional and Chevy Chase.
And on that subject of the open"
never again will Houghton attempt to
qualify in the local sectional rounds
for the major professional tourna-
ment of the year. Al now has failed
to qualify for two years in a row and
it hurts-badly. Such a golfer as
Houghton can qualify in any golf af-
fair, and yet he has failed to make
the grade in the years biggest tour
nament for two years. Al will move
to New York or Pittsburgh or Phila-
delphia next year, where more places
will be open and score of 147 or
l48 will be sure to get in. Yet he
blames his failure at Richmond only
on himself. Personally, we think Al
goes to these affairs in too keyed-up
a mental condition. After a couple
of failures a fellow gets that way in
