A club house man told me of his

at least.
Burrus, with what emotions I can't
say, dressed hurriedly. But just after
he climbed the steps of the tunnel
leading to the bench, a rugged figure
ut the plate took a savage swing and,
amid the wild cheers of 10000 fans,
sent terrific homer over the left field
wall. 1t was Ruth type blast.
"Whew!" gasped Dick, who hit
that?"
Burns, the first baseman," some
body replied, little realizing the words
were death sentence.
Connie Couldn't Cure Him.
THE Southern kid looked dunn

signed to take the place of a man
who had just belted perhaps the
longest homer Dick ever had seen.
I sensed his feelings. He felt he

from that terrific homer he developed
an inferiority complex from which he
never freed himself. I tried every
thing, but Dick couldn't recapture

This year, in order to avoid

the u. S. G. A. recommends that
each competitor place an identi-

The new rules also provide that

golf parade that will start at Wood
mont early in May and wind up late
in the Fall.
Two of these lads-District Cham
pion Bobby Brownell and Middle At

tween 'em can do a lot of damage to
the theory that winning golf is con-
fined to the veterans of the game
Add to Brownell and Shea the
capabilities of l9-year-old Billy Dett-
weller and you have a trio of young
sters who can move along at pace
so fast it's doubtful if the veterans
around the Capital can keep along
with 'em this year, as they wax strong
er in experience and shotmaking.
THESE three lads appear to be the
boys who will head the tourna-
ment parade of 1887. among the
youngsters, to provide the opposition
for the veterans of the tournament
game, to wit: Roger Peacock, Levi
Yoder Harry Pitt and Miller B. Stevin-
son. The last named has just about
retired from serious competition.
Steve" made his lone start last year
in the Chevy Chase invitation event,
where he went to the final and was
beaten by Ralph D. Quinter
OF the three boys only Brownell
has won major tournament, but it
was the big one of 1936-the District
championship. But to show you how
close to him Shea was, it will be re-
called that they met twice at match
play and Brownell won both times by
a single hole. He licked Shea by a
putt in the final of the District
junior and again by one hole in the
District amateur. That's how close
they are, where an inch on a 4-foot
putt may decide the victory. Dett-
weller. the biggest and most expert
enced of the three, didn't do so we'll
last year.

Dettweiler's game was a little sour
last year, but he's too good a golfer
to go on that way forever.
Nor are the boys out of practice
for the campaign that is less than
two months away. Bobby Brownell
has been getting daily workouts on the
practice tee at Indian Spring. He's
great believer in constant practice.
Shea and Dettweiler have been play
ing at Congressional whenever the
weather has been good and Dettweiler
should be in good fettle after his
Southern trip with the Georgetown
team later this month
Shea, as a freshman. isn't eligible
for the trip or for the Hoya varsity
outfit.
These three youngsters, as good
trio as ever have been developed
around Washington, can just at-ut
dominate the tournaments this year.
