~ OMETHING strange and new Is
happening out at the Columbia
Country Club today, where two
~ Baltimore veterans and two
| Washington youngsters, only
one of whom ever has done anything
in a major invitation event, were bat
tling for the right to eIlter the final
round this afternoon.
, It's almost blasphemous to have q
Columbia tournament semi-final with
out a home club representative in
there-some one for whom the home
folks can pull-but it's the case just
the same, as the result of hectic
first day, which found all the pre-
tourney favorites, with the exception
of Ernie Caldwell, vanishing quickly
from the picture.
One by one they fell yesterday
first Miller Stevinson and Maury Nee.
then Roger Peacock and then Harry
Pitt, all among the selections to win.
Billy Dettweiler was the giant killer.
This lean, lanky youngster from Con-
gressional accounted for Maury Nee in
the morning and then whipped out
an extra hole victory over Pitt in the
afternoon, while young Jimmy Drain Of
Washington got his teeth into Roger
Peacock early and chung on like grim
death to win on the last hole. canning
a 20-footer on the eighteenth.
The upshot of it all was that Ernie
Caldwell, Baltimore veteran, met
Dettweiler in one semi-f1nal, while
Drain clashed with the nervous Spen-
Ger Overton. Both Caldwell and
Overton are from the Hillendale Club
of Baltimore, and it wouldn't be a
crushing upset If both Of 'em reached
the final.
