He gave me my toughest match in

than he himself figured he would do.

he is rated tops as a golfer. they know

Battles to Finish.

RILLY'S feet, the only bare ones in
the race, were sore, but he dug
down, nosed into second place and was
chasing Chester Lenney of Stuart, the
winner, like a bull after a red flag as
they crossed the finish line.
Chester established a new mark Of
70 seconds, cracking the old record by
12 seconds. Billy also broke that rec
ord, out, like Glenn Cunningham's per-
formance in the Olympics, it was
eclipsed by better feat.
Billy. the 7o-pound class sprint
champion last year. walked over and
received his medal, smiled boyish
smile and went home to bathe his
wounds. In his small frame was packed
the composite spirit Of playground
competition-something that can't be
washed away.
They say Georgetown won the meet.
True, the West End athletes took cup
symbolic of their victory, back to the
playground. but with the exception Of
a few boys like the one that pulled
Billy's arm there were $500 winners IN
the Districts thirteenth annual boys
city-wide playground track meet. And
there were due to be nearly as many
when the girls competed on the same
field today.

Pitt Makes Great Try.

EOR Harry Pitt and Billy Dettweiler
particularly their failure to quail
ify was heart-breaking. Pitt grabbed
q marvellous bird on the thirty-sixth
green to score ISL and get into tie
for the last two places, holeing a g.
foot putt for the bird. He lost in the
piay-oh with Webb and Thompson
when he hooked to a bunker. overshot
the green into a bunch of honeysuckle
and took to the hole, with Webb and
Thompson winning with buzzard IS.
Dettweiler, desperately trying to make
up for lost shots in the rear, holed a
niblick pitch at the thirty-sixth for a
and q total Of 152, only to miss a
tie by q shot.
Pitt will be the first alternate In case
any of the IL qualiflers do not go to
the national. There is a rumor about
that Davis may not go, in which case
Pitt will take his place.
One of the really fine features of a
day Of fine golf was the showing made
by Morton Mccarthy. The Norfolk
SHOEMAKER was 8 over par at the eighth
hole Of the morning round and looked

hopelessly out of it. But he pulled
himself together and with four birds

He wound up fine performance with
II in the afternoon to get in.
Aside from Peacock's remarkable
consistency, the finest job of the entire
day was turned in by the Brownell
boy. The tow-headed kid, who has
been playing golf only few years
and who went to Florida last Winter
for his health, romped around the
rugged Columbia course in 10 whackS
in the forenoon session to take second
place Determined to maintain his
position, he remained just as hot in
the afternoon, finishing with a II.

The Maryland State association, in

the tourney. With the aid of Red
Banagan, assistant pro at Columbia,
the solons of the State association ran

not the least of the entertaining

6imon-pure players from seven local
clubs today were poring over railroad
schedules and sharpening up their
shots for the national amateur golf

Some Heavy Disappointment.

1T WAS day of championship per-
formances, broken course records
and sectional record breaking scores
as we'll as broken hearts as such
stalwarts as Harry G. Pitt, Martin F.
Mccarthy. Miller Stevinson, Bernie
Hallock and Billy Dettweiler and Billy
Shea, the two hot kids from Con-
gressional, failed to make the grade.
And also a day Of surprising scoring.
Peacock set new amateur record
for the Columbia layout with his card
of 81, three under par, on his first
round. Two other golfers-Brownell
and Greiner-equaled par. A real
old-timer, Forrest Thompson of Beaver
Dam, who used to be a star sandlot
base ball player not so many years
ago, got into the tournament for the
first time Never before has it taken
so low a 36-hole score as Isl to qualify
in this sector. 1t had been predicted
freely before the sectional rounds that
154 would be In safely and that l52
was a cinch to qualify. But all these
early forecasts went by the boards as
the notwithstanding amateurs defied
the heat of Midsummer day with
temperatures reaching well up above
90, and literally burned up the course.
So hot was the scoring pace that
two ordinary rounds would not suffice.
They had to be better than usual,
which is as it should be in the national,
where scores of rs and 76 usually are
thrown for a loss. Four of the men
who qualified yesterday also qualified
for the championship last year at
Cleveland. These were Peacock
Volney Burnett, Levi Yoder, the Mid
die Atlantic champion, and Morton
Mccarthy. The others all will be new
to national competition in the big-time
Of amateur golf. Such lads as Tommy
Webb of Washington, Walter Greiner
and Gene Pittman never before have
played in the big tournament.
