HOWEVER, 1t was here four years
ago that Shute missed a putt
on the eighteenth green, losing the
hole to Sgd Easterbrook, strokes to

team victory by the narroWest pos
slble margin. 1t proved a hoodoo
course for Americas women as we'll
last year, when no member of the
invading Curtis Cup team scored i'm
pressively in the British women's

It's another OF those very unbeau.
tiful seaside layouts that an English
man loves and an American, accus-
toned to less wind and fewer blind
shots, finds trying on the nerves. The
British cup team, which looks stouter
on paper than the one that licked
America in 1898, will feel right at
home. Some Of the American young

IF THE Middle Atlantic golf cham

at Congressional, proves single

ers already have known-that golf is
the most uncertain game of them ALL
IT also gives the golf writer's a pain in
the Uranium when 1t comes around to
the business of ranking the leading
golfers around the Capital this year.
You wouldn't have taken a rouble
or two that Levi Yoder or Volney
Burnett or Morton Mccarthy wouldn't
have grabbed the mid Atlantic. They
seemed to be the three top golfers
of the stellar crowd that gathered at
Congressional to contest for the
premier sectional crown. And yet not
one of them reached the semi-fnal
round.
Burnett, badly off his mallet. failed
TO qualify for the first flight with an
81, one shot too high for the play-off.

round by young Billy Shea, and

golf. They looked like the two top
llnksmen in the tournament. and,
with Mccarthy, they seemed like the
impregnable trio. Bu they went ex-
actly nowhere. All of which proves
once more that golf is the one game
in which form is eyanescent You

At present the law forbids such
shipments only to nations which

necessary to maintain American arms
plants at the levels that would be re-

Tense. Their view Is opposed by sew
