CHARLIE PRICE. 12-year-old
tow.head, is a very happy lad
today. For over a year he has
been practicing under AL JAMI-
SONS tutelage at Indian
Spring. A neat little golfer who
takes himself and the game
pretty seriously, for weeks small
CHARLIE has been saying to
himself and all his gofing
friends: II play with her or it's
no CO." "Her" in this case hap
pened to be BETTY MECKLEY.
Washington's best match play
artist, and CHARLIE had his
eye on the annual mixed Scotch
foursome event at Indian Spring.
Yesterday at Indian Spring
BETTY MECKLEY and CHAR
LIE shot an 50 gross, which, mi
nus their Is handicap, gave them
low net for the day-67. Ere
quently the pair took MRS.
MECKLEY'S drive, and CHAR
LIE was always right there with
q good second shot. BETTY'S
putter was working true to
form: for she curled in puts
from the edge Of the green re-
peatedly. On the 525-yard six
teenth the pair got a mems
par S.
winners of low gross in the
tourney were the good working
combination of MR.. AND MRS.
DICK KREUzBERG, with II,
who chalked up their fourth
victory in as many years.
