N pion from Indian Spring,
will move into the en-
emy's home bailiwick this year
in defense of his Old Line State
title. The Maryland State Golf
Association today announced the
State amateur championship will
be played over the Rolling Road
Golf Club course at Catonsville,
Nd, on June 20, 21, % and q.
Rolling Road Is the course over
which the Middle Atlantic champion
ship was played last June, with Pea
cock failing to qualify. The Rolling
Road Club boasts several fine amateur
golfers, among them Dave Crook, win
ner Of the Midatlantic; Howard Crook,
brother Of Dave; young Jack White,
medalist In the Midatlantic over his
home layout in 1888, and Don O'Brien.

team and Junior champion Of Mary

addition to the stars Of the Rolling

course like a well-thumbed book, such
golfers as Ernie Caldwell Of Hillendale,
B. Warren Corkran and Harris Jones
Of the Baltimore Country Club. Harry
G. Pitt Of Manor and probably Maury-
Lee Of Columbia and Dick Lunn of
Chevy Chase will be out there trying to
unseat the champion.
The State association has drawn up
an attractive golf schedule, including
several events at clubs near Washing
ton, among them the ever popular mix
ed foursome tourney, which probably
win be played at Congressional again
this year. In past years this tournament
has drawn more than 100 entries from
all over the State. Just what will be
done with the State open champion
ship, to be held at club near Wash
ington this year, has not been de-
termined. The State association wants
to open up the tournament to the
world to make it q real "open," but
it finds it has not the money to at
tract a star field Of professionals.
There has been thought Of combining
the State open with the National Cap,
ital open tourney at Kenwood, and
conferences have been held between
State association officers and officials
of the Kenwood Club toward this end,
but nothing concrete has been decided,
and the plan Of playing the State
open tourney still is up In the air.
AL Houghton Of Kenwood has won the
Maryland open championship for the
past two years and is in favor Of
broadening the scope of the tourney
to make professionals outside the
State eligible to compete.

at least Willie Pugh, Mount Wash

that conclusion.
Sothoron, who was one Of the best
second-defense men in the game dur
ing the 1882 and 1888 seasons, is
playing center this year, and thereby
hangs q tale.
Maryland makes" most of its la
crosse players and one of the best
samples is Sothoron, who halls from
Southern Maryland, and who gaped
with amazement when he first caught
sight of the stick-wielding pastime at
College Park.
When Sothoron was breaking In
as a freshman, in 1881, at College
Park, Pugh, who had come East from
attending Butler, was ineligible to
compete for the Old Liners, but not
having played the stick game at the
Indiana institution, was in line for
service the following year.
One of the things that Pugh did
while he was Willing away his time
at College Park was to take Sothoron
in hand, teach him how to handle
the stick and to give him pointers on
how to master the various phases of
the game. Sothoron, being a natural
athlete, was an apt pupil and it was
not long before he was making life
tough for Pugh in the latters scoring
attempts in-practice In fact it got
SO that Pugh went pointless in many
a practice tilt
However. the next year they be-
came teammates and battled UP and
down the field together for two sea-
sons until Pugh was graduated last
June and entered the University of
Maryland Dental School in Baltimore
and gave his allegiance to the Mount
Washington Club.
Now they will meet at rival centers
in the classic Maryland-Mount WASH
ington game at College Park Saturday
and Sotheron confidently predicts
that he will run Pugh's tongue into
the ground"
