That's why Harry q. Pitt. the
Manor moose hasn't been playing In
composition for the past two months.
That's why Harry. probably the golf
ef with the stoutest competitive heart
Of any player around washington,
didn't play In the Middle Atlantic. the
Baltimore Country Club tourney and
the Maryland State amateur cham
pionship. Fed up with the game, with
competition and with missed puts
But the old war horse scents the
coming fire and Harry Is tuning up
his game for the coming national
amateur golf championship az Brook
line, getting ready for the one big
tournament in which he has yet TO
make the grade. He has won all the
sectional events around the Capital
and most Of the invitation tourna-
ments, but he hasn't done anything
in the national.
Back In 1923 the championship
was played at Boston and Harry went
up, along with a flock of local stars.
OF them all. Harry came closest TO
qualifying, for he needed o par on
the final hole at Brae-Burn to get in.
He pushed his tee shot to the rough
and flung q second shot up against
the tennis courts, where 1t lay in a
bush and he couldn't get 1t out. An
Q went down on the score card and
he failed TO qualify.
Last year he didn't get past the
sectional qualification rounds and he
went out to Cincinnati to watch the
District boys Try to qualify, for Harry
Is a loyal chap. II he sees a chance
TO be with his pals he win 60.
This year is another matter and
Harry is determined to qualify at Five
Farms two weeks from tomorrow,
knowing that If he does he will be
right in his favorite form of golf
match play-without going through
the ordeal of another qualification
attempt at Brookline. So keep an eye
on Harry Pitt. The old gent (old in
q golfing way) has lot of punch left
in him. He can and probably viii go
far at Brookline, and he is an odds-on
bet to qualify at Five Farms. Didn't
he win the Five Farms invitation tour
nament three years in q row?
FAVORED by cooler weather WASH
n ington golfers turned out in
droves TO play in week end tour
naments at the country clubs around
