scored a medal II to IS for Pea
cock. Par for the 6,426 yards
course is y.
Undismayed by seeing Peacock
who won the qualifying medal
with a sub-par SO, go into up
lead at the end of the first five
holes, Mccarthy battled on deter
minedly and cut this to one by
taking the seventh.
Peacock once again became 2 up
by adding the tenth. but then be-
gan to slide around the terrain
and Mccarthy annexed the next
three holes with pars to move
ahead. The following four holes
were halved and Mccarthy
clinched victory on the home
green when Peacock was unable
to negotiate a stymie, the hole be-
ing halved in SIS.
Second Shot Goes Astray
Peacock's round in his final
match with Mccarthy was his
poorest in the tournament. He
had been three under par for his
qualifying round and was even
par for his three rounds in match
play. In the final with Mccarthy,
the Indian Spring youngster was
unable to control those crisp iron
shots that have brought him
many triumphs on the links. On
the other hand, Mccarthy demon
strated his golf class in con
vincing style and he'll be a threat

The lower Potomac and lower

DOZEN GIVEN
CHANCE FOR
GRO v n
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


With Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes,
Columbia Country Club, allowing
her District golf championship
to go by default, the 1884 event
should turn out to be wide open
to at least a dozen of the more
prominent feminine players.
Probably the four outstanding
candidates for the championship
are: Mrs. Betty Palmer Meckley,
Indian Spring Club and former
title-holder; Mrs. Roland r. Mac
Kenzie and Miss Helen DettWeiler,
Congressional Country Club, and
Mrs. David Clark, Army and
Navy Country Club.
Two others who may have a
voice in the title. if they enter,
are Mrs. Hugh T. Nicolson, for
mer champion several times. and
Miss Winifred Faunce, Manor.
Both have played but little this
year and it won't be surprising
if neither seeks the championship.
Makes First Appearance
Miss Faunce, whose powerful
drives and iron shots aren't
matched by any other local fair
golfer, took part in her first
tournament this year in the Wash.
ington Herald tourney this week
and scored 86, which was second
low gross.
Others who may figure prom
inently are Mrs. Jack Scott and
Mrs. j. F. Dowdall, Congressional:
Miss Louise Clayton and Miss
Elizabeth Brawner, Chevy Chase;
Mrs. John C. Shorey and Miss
Virginia Pope, Kenwood, and Miss
Nellie Mae Neff. Manor.
Because of her studies at
George Washington University,
Miss Pope hasn't played much
golf. Her first competition was
in the Washington Herald tour
ney. where she scored a gross 95.
Miss Dettweiler. too, has been
held back in her golf because of
studies at Trinity College.
There are others, too, who
might bring grief to some of the
aforementioned when the cham.
pionship gets under way at the
Columbia Country Club on
June 10.
Mccarthy Beats Peacock
Martin F. Mccarthy, champion
of the host club, scored one of the
local seasons most stunning up
sets by winning over Roger S. Pea

"Whistling Bob" Smith decided
to keep him in the barn there
will be no outstanding favor
lite.
With Good Goods left to carry
the famous royal blue cross, the

Green Trees Rose Cross.
All I know about this one is
that he is a st. GermanS-Red
Red Rose colt (route running
breeding) that he has closed
courageously in all his races,
and that so far as can find in
my tabs he has turned in the
best work over the mile and q
half route. That was 2:30 done
handily. A race back to that
will make the black colt hold
anything in this field.
Nor will the fact that Silvio
Coucci will be kicking him miti-
gate against the chances OF
Rose Cross. AS a long shot flyer
I believe his is the best hazard
you'll find in the field.

NEW YORK, June $50 the
serious gentlemen with the
stethoscopes found Max Baer
100 per cent okay, Ell? Instead
OF the doctors making him say
"Ah," he made them say "Ah"
at the perfection of his physical
equipment.
That was a foregone conclu-
sion. They couldn't have found
the lippy one from Livermore
otherwise, because he is as per-
feet as nature and a sufficient
amount of training can make
him.
He may not be ready to fight
Primo Camera, but he is as
ready as he will ever be. Put a
big K after that one, for that is
where his body lies.
Baer must have been designed
by Fisher. He has everything
any man ever had except a bal
ance wheel. The superb chassis
the Lord gave him will begin to
creak some day. And sooner
than that If he doesn't stop hit
ting the high places while his
brakes are still good. But that
time is not yet. Right now he
is one of those fortunates who
wonder what people mean when
they say they don't feel good.
He always feels good.
And he thinks he always will.
Smarter young giants than Max
Baer have thought that way
when they were Is.
Brown Says Clown
But Bill Brown was emf
nently correct in insisting that
the curly-haired Californian is
q clown. Clown he most GER
tainly is, but a clown with a
stick of dynamite in his hand.
A clown who is dangerous
even when he is laughing and
doubly dangerous when he
isn't.
Commissioner Brown is
quoted as saying that he is
worried lest something serious
happen to the boiSterous Baer
boy next Thursday evening in
the Garden saucer. Let the
commissioners mind be at rest
on that score. 1t is highly i'm
probable that anything more
serious than a sweetened peck
etbook will happen to either
of the gigantic gladiators. But
if anything untoward does
occur it will not be to Max
Adelbert Baer, and you can
put another K after that
statement, too, if you wish.
AS Baer's bookishly inclined
trainer and rubber, Mike Cant
we'll, says of Max:
II have never seen any man
in my life who could shake off
the effects Of a punch as quick
ly as this one. Any other fight.
eR trying to live the life he
has lived since 1 joined him
before the Schaaf fight in Chi
cagO would be the living coffin
of a dead ambition. But he
seems to be just getting started"
Incidentally, it was Ty Cobb,
who also was a pretty good hit
ter, who got Cantwell his job
with Baer.

this fight talk, let us turn to

be decided at Belmont Park to.
