CLUB GOLF TITLES
ARE HARD TO KEEP
Harris, Pitt, Sharkey Only
Ones to Repeat in II
Tournaments Here.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.


Golf club championships are not
easy to win around Washington. You
might get the idea by the frequency
with which the same names appear
among the links elite at the several
golf and country clubs around the
Capital that the club titles are the
exclusive property of small and Sc
lect group of top-notchers. But it
isn't So In fact only three men who
won club championships last year re-
peated this year. There were eight
new club titleholders crowned in the
Journeys which started in May and
wound up few days ago.
Here are the 1888 champions of the
country clubs around Washington:
Chevy Chase. Ralph D. Quinter:
Washington. Perry B. Patteson;
Woodmont, Dr. Milton Harris: Manor,
Harry G. Pitt; Kenwood. John C.
Bergelin; Indian Spring. Buddy
Sharkey; Beaver Dam, Martin F. Nc
Carthy; Congressional. Claude Rippy;
Columbia, Tommy Webb; Argyle,
Orval Kaul; Army-Navy, Ralph
Bogart.
Repeaters were Harris at Wood
mont, Pitt at Manor and Sharkey at
Indian Spring.
Surprising angle OF the club title
tournaments around the Capital this
year is the way the veterans of the
game stalked off with the club crowns
Only two real youngsters were able
to win championships, but these lads
won two of the toughest Of them all
Buddy Sharkey, the l9-year-old
Georgetown lad, won his second
straight Indian Spring diadem over
the toughest possible opposition. In
most other cases the winners Of the
club titles we're veterans Even Tommy
Webb, the Columbia champion. who
is in his middle 20s, is veteran of
the game. Tommy has been doing
well in golf tournaments for half a
dozen years. So has Ralph Quinter
the Chevy Chase champ. who won his
club invitation affair two years ago.
| Eighteen-year-old Ralph Bogart,
who still is in high school, was the
other youngster who won his club
championship. Ralph won over field
of veterans at the service club. and
without doubt rates as the top golfer
/ of that organization Earlier in the
/ season he set course record, which
still stands.

those of the feminine links brigade
who occasionally drop down into the

Brown, reigning queen Of women's
golf in this area-is in some ways the
more remarkable of the two
Marion has been playing golf four
years. She is 20 now. She took up
the game back in 1884 and the next
year tales began to come from Manor
of the astounding possibilities of q
long g-legged blond youngster who
worked endless hours on her game. Al
Treder, the Manor pro, was interested
in the development Of the game Of this
youngster, who went along watching
Betty Meckley and Helen Dettweiler,
the latter her girlhood idol, winning
tournaments. She first showed signs
of being a big-time star in her own
right when she went to the final Of
the Mid Atlantic last year.
And this year Marion Brown
is on top of the heap Of all the
feminine players in this terri
tory.
I doubt if Lily Harper Martin, the
slim young Portsmouth. Va, matron
who generally is ranked at the crest
of Virginia golf, could beat Marion.
Lily didn't play in this years Mid
Atlantic, but even If she had there's
a big question whether she could have
kept up with the pace set by Marion
Brown and Helen Dettweiler. This
year Marion holds all the titles for
which she is eligible. four years after
she first swung a club.
Brown to Be Honored.
Such is the girl whom the National
Broadcasting Co. and the women golf
ers of Washington will honor tomor-
row.
Can't you imagine how the
eyes of the kid of Is would have
bulged four years ago had she
been able to vision the picture
of what will happen At the
Manor Club tomorrow?
And one of the more comforting
angles of the picture of the Brown
girl is that she still regards Helen
Detweiler-her girlhood hero-as her
grown-up idol. She has twice beaten
Helen in major tournaments this year.
But that hasn't impaired their friend

morrow in the N. B. C-WMAL tourney,

Officers Crack Down On
'Bootleggers" Of Quail

Raleigh, Dec 24.-Officers of the
game and inland fisheries division of
the Department of Conservation and
Development are cracking down"
vigorously on boofleggers of quail and
other game birds; and dealers in this
illicit traffic have already felt the
mailed fist of the law in several in
stances, according to Commissioner
John D. Chalk of the division.
Within the past week four persons
have been convicted of selling or pos
sessing for sale quail. These convic
tons were secured through evidence
developed by under cover" agents of
the division.
The four were arrested in Durham
December II by special agent of
the division. Two were women. Three
were offering the quail for sale in a
booth of the Farmers Exchange while
the fourth was arrested after he had
offered quail for sale in a nearby
grocery store.
ct is very difficult to catch these
game bootleggers in the act of selli' 2
quail or other prohibited game, VITA
the result that we have to use meth
DDS somewhat similar to those of
State and Federal agents in running
down liquor bootleggers ard narcotic
peddlers" Commissioner Chalk said.
"That is why we have had to employ
several undercover agents who pose
as ordinary citizens interested in buy
ing prohibited game, especially quail"
In working up evidence in the Dur
ham cases the special agent who made
the arrests went to e.crel stalls and
inquired if he could buy quail. One
Of lie women whom he later arrested
i.ld him that she ilad IS quail nus
that 20 of them were sold and re-
ferred him to another booth where
he could buy five more at 80 cents
each. He bought the ten quail and
then tonfiscated the other 20 when
re arrested the two women and o-e
man who we're selling them.
Those arrested in Durham were r.
H Breeze, his daughter, Miss Nell
Breeze, IS; and Mrs. Ray Harrington
and William Alfred Terry, from near
Hillsboro. They were tried in the
county court Monday, December 10
before Judge A. H. Borland and all
four were found guilty.
Because Miss Breeze is only 16 and
was operating the booth under her
fathers order and since he found that
Mrs. Harrington had been influenced
