A FAIRLY accurate lineup on
~ the gents who have q chance
~ to qualify for the national
open golf championship next
Monday is on view today in the set-up
of the Washington professional team
which will face team of Japanese
on June at Kenwood.
The five qialifiers at Kenwood yes
terday for the local pro team were
Al Houghton of Kenwood and Al
Treader, tied for first place at la;
Benny Loving. Charlottesville, Va,
las; Leo Walper, driving course pro-
prietor, 146, and Bob Barnett, Chevy
Chase, lat. These five will join Bobby
Cruickshank, Richmond pro and team
captain, in the attempt to repulse the
Nipponese on June 2.
II you can judge by the scoring
yesterday at Kenwood, over lengthy
and tricky layout. playing from the
extreme back tees on a vet day, the
scoring pace at the Baltimore Suburb
an Club next Monday is going to siz-
zle, and ii looks from the way the boys
are stroking the ball that it will take
q card of something like 142 to win
one Of the four places open for the big
championship. Most Of the II local
entrants will 60 to Baltimore Satur-
day night or Sunday morning to get
in a couple of practice rounds in ad-
vance OF the test on Monday.
TINE six men who will face the
Nipponese are just about tops as
golfers in this sector. barring q
couple of unlucky fellows who found
their stroking far of standard. Fel-
lows like Roland Mackenzie, for ex-
ample. who did an 81 in the morning
and withdrew: Fred Mcleod, the old
master from Columbia, who couldn't
putt q lick. and George Dihenbaugh.
who got into enough trouble for q
couple Of gents twice his size.
Al Houghton holed l5-footer
across the eighteenth green to tie
Treder. president Of the Middle At
lantic P. G. A.. for first place. after
it seemed Houghton might fail to
qualify on his own course. But he
gathered his faltering game together

subpar 80 to tie. Treder was Old Man
Golf himself. He bagged no less than
II brides for the double circuit of
the course, and he missed enough
short puts to I'LL a barrel. In con-
trast was the performance Of Bob
Barnett, who scored LAT and never
holed q birdie.
Cliff Spencer, out Of the tourney,
borrowed AL Houghton's whippy-
shafted driver and whacked . tee shot
on the carry into the right trap up
against the sixteenth green, Q mere
distance of 290 yards.
Another high spot was Fred Nc
Leod's holed bunker shot for Q bird 3
at the seventh. But little Benny
Loving, who played the Winter cir
cult, spun the best round of the day.

Kenwood tourney on November and

which Bobby Cruickshank won with
the record score of 208. two under par
for 81 holes, sponsors of the affair
thought for time of abandoning the
tournament on the general theory
that if the pros will not come tor it
they would better call it off altogether.
The field last year was not up to the
standard of playing strength of pre-
vious tournaments. although the scor.
;ng generally was lower. But on re-
consideration they came to the con-
clusion that if they lined up their
dates with those for Pinehurst they
would draw the same fine field that
has played in other Kenwood affairs.
and they decided to stage renewal
this year This is the reason for the
choosing of the November and 3
dates. which are not yet definite, but
will be made so shortly.

ANOTHER BATTLE
APPEARS LOGICAL
Buck Gets Full Verdict in
Hot Battle, but Matte
Thinks He Won.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

ToR the most spectacular effort
- of his fistic career Matte Brown
had only loss to show today
but mis- feud with Buck Everett,
In all probability, isn't ended. Even
as the smoke of Washington's fiercest
heavyweight boxing battle still ling
cred, plans were under way today for
q resumption Of what promises TO run
second to no local ring rivalry in re-
cent years.
Browns rule over the Capitals
heavyweight colony is shaken as a
result of Everett,s sensational To-
round victory by unanimous deci-
sion but there was plenty of reason
for the f1stic fathers to temporarily
shelve ideas Of importing the Steve
Hamases and Art Laskys. Mates
still clings to his mythical District
championship crown, if only because
1t was not at stake when the Jewish
boy finally ran up against the one
man he sufficiently disliked to throw
out his safety-first style and lay the
amazed customers in the aisles.
Literally. Matte and Buck did Just
that and if they really are rematched
for IS rounds-as per fond hopes Of
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn-they will
do it again. There is bad blood be-
tween these two, who first met four
years ago in a Chicago gymnasium,
where was born beautiful hatred
If anything. feeling is even greater

Ing the ropes And Buck, with his
sweet tooth sharpened, may not be

other chance to turn the tables.
Certainly the fans will want re-

thrills than any heavyweight battle
in the last few years here, exceeding
even the kick" forthcoming when
Marty Gallagher climbed off the can

route with Tony Galento last Sum-

q two-flsted, wide-open Brown-ap-
parently on his way to annihilate
Everett, perhaps even score an off1cial

by an amazing finish by Buck. who

in a couple of extra good licks when
Everett refused to quit at the bell and
tore into his rival like a madman
after the bell had sounded.

And again it might not have been q
coincidence.
Brown Hurt in Ninth.
"A T ANY rate, Everett chose the
n seventh heat to launch a whirl-
wind drive that turned almost

wildered Matte with wild punches
thrown in pistonlike fashion. In the
ninth round he hurt Brown, VINO
eeemed to show. for the first time,
some effects of the recent beating he
took from Joe Louis. who checked the
Jewish lads fine record of avoiding

Brown was hurt in the ninth, but
he also was game. Realizing that his
lead had dwindled away to nothing

tenth in reckless fashion and brought
