swinging for home and glory.
PLAY NO. 1 TEAM
The honor of playing on the
No. l team has been assigned 10
Miss Helen Dettweiler, of Con-
greSsional, and Mrs. Betty Meek
ley of Indian Spring. In the event
that Mrs. Ware plays against that
team she will find herself match
ing drives with one of the longest
hitters in our feminine corps. If
Miss Dettweiler RECEIVERS her putt
ing touch she will ask few odds
from Mrs. Ware or anyone else.
Mrs. Meckley lacks the boom
ing tee shots that mark the game
of Queen Helen, but from sixty
yards off the carpet she is deadly
in her shots to the pin. She has a
sweetly tuned putting stroke, and
if it comes to cold nerve with a
point in the blance, Mrs. Meckley
cannot be fluStered.
Miss Marion Brown and Mrs.
Bishop Hill will play in the
second team. Mrs. Hill won the
low gross cup in the Washington
Herald tournament with a spark
ling 80 over Washington's hills
and dales. Those who thrilled at
the sight of Marion Brown crash
ing through the last three holes
of her match with Helen Dett-
weller in an eagle, a par and a
birdie to win the District crown
will concede anyone however
formidable nothing more than an
even chance of beating the local
champion.
THIRD D. C. PAIR
Mrs. Walter R. Stokes, of Indian
Spring and Mrs. L. G.. Pray, of
Manor, will comprise the third
Washington pair. Mrs. Pray
turned in a stylish round at her
home course yesterday. She was
long off the tees and her short
game was accurate. Mrs. Pray
dropped several balls on the put
ting carpet and therefore lacked
formal card, but she did right
we'll? it was said.
Mrs. George HuSsey, of Army
and Navy, will team with Mrs.
Myron DaVy of Congressional;
Mrs. Howard ]. SimonS, of Manor.
and Miss Kate Schully, of Chevy
Chase, will play together. Mrs.
]. w. Ludewig, of Army and Navy,
will team with Mrs. Florence God
frey, of Beaver Dam.
The weekly approaching contest
at East Potomac Park was won by
Trader Horn, whose niblic pitch
stopped 10 feet 4 inches from the
cup. L. Miller was second, his ball
being a foot farther away. and
Penny Cohen finished up 13 feet
3 inches from the cup to take
third prize.
Billy Houghton. younger brother
of Al Houghton, former Washing
ton professional, was today won
dering what a linksman has to do
to win on the golf course.
Playing in the Capital Golf and
Country Clubs two-man team
championships yester day, he
played the 18 holes in 18 conSecu-
tive pars, yet, as the partner Of
Ed Foxx, was beaten, 2 and /, by
the team of Ken Spencer and A. j.

strokes off the first nine and re
turned in 80 to do the back nine
