Championship and tournament
performances were important but
the qualifications of each golfer,
regardless of records in competi-
tive play, also figured in the vot-
ing. AS an example, Mrs. Clark
added but one championship,
the Middle Atlantic, the only
major event in which she took
part. Yet she was placed on all
fifteen ballots. Vinson was placed
on all fifteen teams, and Peacock
on fourteen. Mrs. Clark was
named as first choice by eight
pros, while Peacock and VinSon
were even in this respect, each
being given the No. / position
seven times.
Fifteen Pros Voted
The pros taking part in the

Peacock and Vinson finished
almost even-stephen in the mat
ter of winning tournaments. The
raven-haired Indian Spring
youngster annexed the Baltimore
Country Club and Indian Spring
Country Club tournaments and
retained his Maryland amateur
crown. Nevertheless, he failed
in his biggest quest qualifying
for the national amateur in the
sectional trials over the rugged
Five Farms course of the Baltl-
more Country Club. Long will
that short, uphill par three
ninth live in Peacock's golf
memories. Twas here that a
severely hooked shot in the after
noon round ushered him promptly
out of the tests, causing him to
take an eight. And he ran
deeper into the golf reefs by
adding a seven on the next hole
four par affair.
On the other hand, VinSon mas
tered Peacock in the final round
of the District amateur at Co
lumbia; was low scorer IN the
national amateur qualifying trials
at Five Farms and had his name
inscribed on the classic Taft Cup,
Symbolical of victory in the
classic Chevy Chase Club invita-
ton tourney. His air OF lndlt-
ference caused comment, but
there was no misunderstanding
as to his golf specifica tions-he
was cast in the finest OF golf
dies. Winners of other important
tournaments follow:
