way without one default. The unique
situation marked the start of Wash
ington's 1887 public parks tournament
which found all 70 Of its entrants
appearing on time and playing first
and second round matches at the
Sixteenth Street Reservoir courts.
The reason for the appearance OF
every entrant was traced primarily
to the stipulation that all entry fees
must have been paid before a name
was included in the draw. Heretofore
paid fees often defaulted when finding
themselves paired with player whom
they considered their superior.

Errors Hurt Miss BiShOpp.

A THOUGH her style was superb, as
usual, Jimmy's soundly-hit drives
were dropping outside by inches and
she fell an easy prey to Lucille's con-
troll and court courage. Miss Mcdowell
relied on the success maxim of keeping
the ball in play, with the result that
her opponent, attempting the shots
to put the ball away, made the errors
Miss Bishopp had two leads in the
second set, at 2-1 and 80, but In
the sixth game Miss Mcdowell began
shooting for the corners-a plan Of
attack which put and kept her adver-
sary on the defensive for the balance
Of the match.
The victory marked the elimination
OF two-year quest for the title by
the Burroughs girl, who WAS run
ner-up for the championship last year.

ton Immediately sets a guy up among
the first l70-odd amateurs in the
land but when it costs around $500
to make the trip, and it takes three
weeks to do it right, what's the good
Of it? Gene Pittman of Congress
sional sounded the answer to the
question the local lads are asking
themselves when he said:
That's an awful long way to
30 to take = licking. when you
can get licked right here in
your own back yard"
What will qualify at Five Farms?
We think a pair OF 80s will make
the grade, or total of 100. Five
Farms is tough golf course, with
plenty OF trouble along the path to
the cup. There are 81 gents in the
tourney, but probably five of them
will not finish. And of the l6 prob
able flnishers, not more than three
or four will crack 16O for the dou-
BILE circuit. Levi Yoder and Billy
Shea should qualify and Ralph Quin-
ter and Martin Mccarthy are posi-
bilities. But will they go to Port
land if they do qualify?

So that's that, from a guy

YOU can talk about great golf
matches, where par is busted. and
where the only uncertainty is the
length Of the putt for a birdie. But
when 1t comes TO thrills give us a
match between high-handicap golfers;
buffers, if you will.
Such a match was that one at
Columbia last week, in which Mrs.
Hugh Mackenzie gave Stokes Sam
mons stroke a hole and finished all
even, canning a four-foot putt on
the eighteenth green for half. Those
two players committed every golfing
sin known to the game, and they also
made some shots that would have
done credit to a national champion.
They jumped bunkers. they blithely
leaped bitches; they missed chip shots
and they topped iron shots. But for
sheer intensity Of purpose and will
to win, no match ever has been more
interesting to watch.
They'll repeat It in = fort
