Lillian Rlxey ing only zSH2
points to the
Giants 24k, although they
were favored to win for the
first year since the stunt
tournament began.
The Midgets had reason to
feel secure that at least their
No. team of Roger Peacock
and Bobby Brownell would have
no difficulty in proving their
ability as Giant-killers. But in
the surprise Of the day, the
Seven.league drivers of Buddy
Sharkey, Indian Spring cham
pion, and Jack Robinson took
the Peacock-Brownell combina-
ton in their stride with a g.
point-to-0 victory.
The Midgets were licking their
chops until just before the last
foursome had turned in their
cards. for they had the Giants
down two points. Giants j. F.
Feeney and F. H. Kramer turned
defeated to victory by swamping
Midgets L. Watzman and Phil
Berman by three points.
Pros
Washington's pros we're taking
things little more seriously
down at East Potomac Park in
q sweepstakes event in which
Witty Cox, of Congressional,
and Al Houghton, of Old Point
Comfort, tied for first place with
. 70. one over par.
The East Potomac course has
been heightened and trapped
more trickily in preparation for
the trials for the national public
links championship in Cleve-
land. Yesterdays pro event was
something in the nature Of a
trial by experts for the trials.
The new layout proved plenty
stiff, for some Of the pros turned
in scores at 80 and over, includ-
ing T. Gibraski, of the home
course.
AL Houghton, four-time Mary
land Open champion, who last
week won the bi-monthly pro
sweepstakes at Baltimore's Hill
lendale, was out in 35, one under
par, and back in 38, two over
perfect. Witty Cox'S out nine
was 81, and on the homeStretch
he carded a 36.
Small George Diffenbaugh, of
Kenwood, came in for third
money with a IA. Frank Cum
ningham, Of Burning Tree; Bill
Carson, of Anacostia, and Danny
Burton, of Army-Navy, led all
the rest with 75's apiece.
