Y VIRGINIA BEACH, June 15.-
" Levi Yoder, the tall North
v Carolina boy from Indian
Spring, may or may not be a
great golfer. 1t remains to be seen,
but at any rate the pine from Lin
vile, up in the mountains of Old
Carolina, is the only Washingtonian
remaining in the Middle Atlantic
championship which moved through
its semi-final and final phases today.
Yoder clashed today in the semi
final round with Morton j. Mccarthy
of Virginia Beach and was favorite
to win.
The Indian Spring star. recent
winner of the Manor Club invitation
tournament. scored 80 holes yesterday
on the Princess Anne course In 2
above par to win his way to the semi
final.
The other semi-f1nal match finds
Frank Sutton. 18-year-old Richmond
youth, meeting 17-year- Dick
Payne of Norfolk.
Washingtonians were scattered
through the lower flights as the
championship drew toward Its end.
Yoder Plays Close to Par.
A REHABILITATION of the efforts
of the four Washington qualifiers
in the first fight found two of them
dropping out in the opening round
yesterday. Sutton defeated Page
Hufty of Chevy Chase by and /,
and Don Miller of Baltimore went to
the eighteenth hole to defeat DR.. L.
S. O'Tell, of Congressional.
Walter r. McCallum of Washington
went to the nineteenth hole to de-
feat Joseph Blake of Norfolk, while
Yoder, clinging closely to par, licked
17-year-old Douglas Brashear Of
2 and /.
That left two Washingtonians in
the first flight. Yoder played grand
golf to defeat Miller by and 5, while
McCallum, 2 up with to 60, lost on
the final hole to Sutton.
Favorites Eliminated.
TWO big surprises marked the day.
The first was the 6-and-5 licking
handed Billie Howell, Richmond ace,
by young Eddie Semmler of Balti-
more. Semmler was under par when
the match ended. The second was the
2-and-1 victory of Mccarthy over
Caldwell. for both Caldwell and How
ell had been favored to reach the
final round.
But there was some consolation for
winner of the championship
in 1882. The tall Ernie won a play
of for the qualifying medal against
Sutton and DR.. O'Tell, and will re-
turn to Baltimore with another piece
of silver.
