TOMORROW's PATRINGs
First F1iEht-MrS. Meckley vs.; Miss
Janney: Mrs. Morrow vs.. Mrs: WalPer;
SchIuderberg vs.. Miss Harper.
D. Lynch Younger. q dark
horse" yesterday came through
with a sparkling 40. 35-75. to win
the qualifying medal in the an
nual Columbia Country Club
championship. Younger, q r.
handicap player, must compete in
the second division. A member
can only compete in the division
to which his handicap entities
him.
Hence, we have the strange
picture Of the medalist in q
championship tourney removed
from championship possibilities
without lifting his club.
Luther C. Steward, jr., with 76,
posted the lowest score among the
accredited first Fighters. Steward
meets Harvey johnson. defending
champion, in today's first round.
Post entries are expected to
swell the starting field to at least
80 for today'S Maryland open
championship at Manor Club. The
entrants will battle over the &c.
hole route with a top prize Of $3.50
going to the professional scoring
low. The low amateur will receive
a suitable plate.
AL Houghton, it is reported, will
become general manager at Ban
nockburn Country Club. Tony
Sylvester will be retained as pro-
fessional, according to present
plans.
