FOR MEDAL
WITH Is :
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Bradley C"Ted") Burrows, whose
IS will be subjected to a withering
fire in today's concluding qualify.
ing rounds Of the Indian Spring
Country Club invitation golf
tournament, would undoubtedly
go places in the game were he
able to give more time to it.
His work prevents him from
taking in all the tournaments
and it is generally toward evening
before he can get out to a course,
usually Rock Creek, on a week
day. And then such weekday
visits are infrequent.
And yet, despite this handicap,
the former public links champion
ranks with the best golfers in the
District. He has not only a sound
game but game heart. and
doesn't fold up when the heat"
is turned on.
Leads Qualifying Field
His rs, four over par, was low
score in yesterdays qualifying
field at Indian Spring. Off to a
shaky start, Burrows went one
over par on each of the first five
holes. He steadied himself, how
ever, and covered the remaining
13 holes in one under par. Four
brides fell to his clubs during this
comeback, the most sensational
being when he Clipped into the
ninth cup for a deuce.
Harry G. Pitt, of Manor, IT;
Louis Fuchs, Indian Spring, II,
nd Johnny Connolly, unat-
tached, 79, were the only other
players in yesterdays field able
to break 80.

chief, war paint and all. George
r. Holmes was named "Chief
Boaster" for 1885. H. King Corn
