Baltimore FdUOrS OUertOn
In Suburban Golf EUent
VOLNEY BURNETT
DARK HORSE OF
TOURNAM EN- 7
BY CHICK KENNY

whether you like 1t or not,
over Baltimore way where the
Suburban Country Clubs revival
Of its invitation tournament is be-
ing revived today, the boys in the
golting know are Of the opinion
that it will be strictly Baltimore
affair.
Well that is something, but let's
go on. The Baltimore experts
believe that Spencer Overton, the
top flight performer of Baltimore,
who is q former Maryland State
title holder is now shooting a game
Of golf that just can't be beat.
Yesterday, these experts point out,
the bespectacled Overton hoped
over the PikeSville course with a
grand and glorious 70, two over
par, and the best that Washing
tons premier golfer, Volney
Burnett, could DO in his practice
joust yesterday, was exactly one
stroke behind the Overton effort.
DIFFERENT COLORS
But then practice rounds and
championship play are nags Of
two different colors. We all re-
member earlied in the month,
that Claude Rippy, the District
publinxer set holy terror in the
hearts Of the contestants at San
Francisco in practice rounds over
the Harding Memorial course by
biting under-par golf. But when
the championship play started,
the Ripper sagged down and was
put out OF circulation in the first
round Of play.
So. regardless, don't take this
practice stuff too seriously. And
thus, Suburban Is off to q fancy
start with its invitation affair,
and It is expected that Volney
Burnett, the big fire and water
man, and currently the Maryland
State champion, is the guy to
beat.
Seventeen local golfers are in
the field Of ITS now in its qualify
ing state. Tomorrow match play
starts.
That exhibition match which
bringing together Ralph Guldahl
was scheduled for Kenwood, and
and Sam Snead on August 20, has
been postponed until a later date,
according to an announcement by
Whiffy Cox Of the Kenwood Clue.
GLEN FALLS OPEN
AS the Glen Falls Open takes
in this date and all pros of conSe
Quence are listed for play in the
affair, it was necessary for these
stars to forego their local show
inR temporarily. Witty expects
to make an announcement Of a
new date in the near future.
The pros versus the amateurs
in q 2O.man team match is listed
for the Washington Golf Club
