final round in the Washington
tourney today, as those players who
survived yesterdays water-logged first
and second match-play rounds met
on the final day Of the tourney
District Attorney Leslie C. Garnett,
who does his golfing at Washington,
was to present the prizes at the club

hands of the eminent legal light.
Roesch met Joe De Stefano. a for

John c. Shorey, Kenwood ace, and
Harry G. Pitt, the Manor moose. -
These four won their way to the semi

yesterday, as 80 players sloshed and
Slugged their way around the soggy
course in the rain that seems to ac-
company every Washington tourna-
ment.

went on to output the greatest putter

Columbia-by and in the after
noon.
He is a professional, and by that
I don't mean he makes his living
from the game. I mean he plays like
a professional. Every shot goes
straight and far down the middle and
he hits the ball like a pro-" R. T.
Lefty Harrell. Washington Tourna-
