the medal play team championship
Of Federal golfers and ambitious to
add the match play title in The Eve
ming Star tournament, and Federal
Bureau of Investigation, one of its
toughest rivals, will move into action
tomorrow without the help of their
strongest players.
G. A. O., which will meet Treasury
Accounts and Deposits at Indian
Spring, will miss Jerry Hart. who
won the Federal individual title this
year and in doing so led his team
to possession of the Mellon Trophy
F. B. I. will be without its re-
nowned Tommy Webb former Federal
champion, when it meets War Depart
ment's powerful four at Congress
sional. Webb will miss the opening
match due to death in his family
1t is not certain that G. A. o. will
regain Hart who no longer is employed
at that office but hopes to return.
Procurement and Treasury, both
with capable line-ups, are beating the
gun on The Star tournament. Sched-
uled for tomorrow, they were to battle
this afternoon at Beaver Dam. A
clash with another tournament in
which the TreasuriteS are engaged
caused the change in dates.
The F. B. I-War match originally
was assigned to the Belle Haven
course, but recent heavy rains played
havoc with several greens of the pop
ular Alexandria course and hence the
match was shifted.
The Reconstruction Finance Corp
Post Office scrap. scheduled at Belle
Haven Friday, has been transferred to
Woodmont.
Each of the four matches slated this
week is in a different section of ths
tournament. There are four sections
OF six teams each. with each team in
a section to meet all the others once.
Then will come playof of sectional
champions for the big title.
AS the tournament opens there is no
distinct favorite and every section con-
tains at least two teams that figure to
prevent a runaway race.
Among the early matches of the
tournament will be one between the
War and Navy teams and this promises
to be a highlight of the entire compe-
tition.

headed Bobby. the new champ. to win.
Bobby always could chip. He beat
Roger Peacock in the final of the 1895
District title tourney with as fine an
exhibition of chipping as ever We have
seen.
And that same StrOke-Saving
shot won for him the junior
middle Atlantic.
He needed four on the home hole
for las. Buddy Sharkey had finished
a few minutes before with "a for
146, hashing up the seth hole for a 5
after fine drive which ended in
divot hole, but winding up with what
looked like the winning score.
Tall Otto Greiner. with whom Bobby
was playing. muscled a lengthy iron
second five yards past the cup, leaving
him a 15-footer for a II and'145. So
when Bobby pushed his second shot to
the right of the final green, leaving
him a tricky little chip over a f1inty
knob to a keen green he had just the
right medicine and the right equip

which he knows so we'll how to use.
Carefully surveying the terrain he
played so fine a shot down the hard
slope that the ball ended less than 8
feet away. The putt was formality.
He couldn't miss after that chip shot.
But Greiner. the pre-tournament fav-
orite, missed his putt to tie by only
half the width of the ball. The putt
actually teetered on the edge of the
cup.
That final round Of Brownell's
was q masterpiece Of golf with
the chips down.
He bagged 16 pars, birdie and l
buzzard, which adds up to par II.
And he knew from the 14th hole on
Just what he had to do.
Three Tie for Second.
Twenty-year-old Jerry Hart, the
Government champ from Arkansas,
had the tournament in the bag and
let it slip away. He also had . 4 on
the last hole to tie and lost 1t with .
bad S. So Hart and Greiner and
Sharkey, tied at 146 for the runner-up
spot, went out to play q scheduled
s-hole play-off. Buddy, starting 8
S S 6. dropped out at the fourth.
He had no chance. And Hart three
putted the 9th green to let Greiner
square with a pair Of SIS and then
three-putted the 10th to give the tall
Baltimore lad the second spot with
par 4.
But I can imagine Bobby Brownell
got more than a vicarious kick out Of
winning that junior championship.
Greiner, you know, was the red-hot
favorite. He hadn't lost q medal-play
tourney this year and had been licked
in match play only once. He had
whipped Bobby in the Middle Atlantic
final back in June. And Bobby. play
ing with him yesterday. licked him to
win the junior title.
Maybe I'll make that Duke golf
team now" said Bobby. Il wanted 30
much to win that Middle Atlantic back
in June, but beat the champion to
win this one, and maybe that will
count"
Will it count? II they don't stick

teams Of youngsters from the two
towns. That's the setup for match
that will come off within fortnight,
probably at Indian Spring.
It's all the result of confab the
lads had at the Middle Atlantic junior
championship at Indian Spring yes
terday. where Bobby Brownell. the
new sectional junior champ looked
over bottle of beer at portly Nate
Kaufman, thought Nate might take
off few pounds by playing more
golf in the broiling sun, and proposed
the match.
Nate leaped at it like a trout
in April at fly, and the lads
got their heads together and
worked out a team.
Here it is: NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Brownell, Billy Shea. Buddy Sharkey,
Billy Dettweiler. Dick Myer, Ralph

man. John Farrell Billy Wagner.
Francis Ogden. Guy Taylor, Charles
Beeler. Basil Wagner. Jesse DoWling,
Charles Follmer and Wally Engle. In
a way it's shame those Baltimore
lads have to be convinced SO often.
But the whole thing is In fun and is
one of those little matches that breed
better golfers. You don't have to go
further than the juniors nowadays to
find the top players of this or any
other sector If you don't believe it
listen to this:
Juniors Beat Pro Mark.
Back in May the pros played at
Indian Spring their sectional rounds
for the national open championship
Lewis Worsham and Bob Barnett OF
the Chevy Chase golf shop tied for
drst place with l46.
Over the same course yeSter-
day. and longer course, slowed
up by frequent heavy rains, Bob
by Brownell, District amateur
champion of 1886, playing from
Indian Spring, topped bril-
liant field to win the mid
Atlantic junior with a 36-hole
card of I45.
That's one shot better than the best
Of the pros were able to do over the
same course, and probably an even
longer layout than the pros played
But in addition three of the juniors
tied at lac for the second spot. which
was the same score as that shot by
the top pros in the open title tests
Now We don't infer by any stretch
Of Imagination that amateur golf is
better than pro golf.
1t isn't. not by a couple Of
brassie shots.
But that's what happened just the
same.
Call it local knowledge of the course
which Bobby Brownell surely has. Call
1t a hot day for the new 19-year-old
champion. who will start his second
year at Duke University next month
Call 1t any way you like and it still
adds up to the fact that the juniors
scored better over the same course
than the pros. There were four o1
them at 146 or better and five broke
$50. That's doing all right in an,
company over that Indian Spring
course. which happens to be one o.
the more testing layouts around thi!

Many New Dodge
Passenger Cars Sold

More persons in the Pacific North.
west became owners of new 1889
Dodge passenger cars in the week
ended November 20 than IN any
previous week this year.
This was reported by Dan L.
Beck, Dodge regional manager, after
a survey of dealers sales in the
states of Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Utah. and parts of Wyoming and
Montana.
mot only is this record definite
proof of improved business, Beck
said. "but when the fact is consid-
cred that many sections of the area
are showed in, and that the dealers
have been unable to get through
cars to fill all orders, 1t stands out
as startling acceptance of the new
models
Further, Beck said, the previou:
record week was in the spring, nor.
mally a heavy buying season ane
i included trucks. No trucks were
included in the last record week.
Beck cited the fact that the Dodge
factory had greatly increased pro
duction. and that the majority of IN
dividual dealers were planning OF
an increase of from so to 100 pc
cent in Dodge retail sales for 1873
over the 1898 year.
