ON STYM|E ANGLE
Maryland Golf Association
Grants States '38 Open
to Washington Club.
By WALTER McCALLUM.

WASHINGTON gets only one
\A/ Of the Maryland State Golf
wv Association tournaments
during 1898. The State
open championship, won in 1887 by
Cliff Spencer, unattached professional,
Will be played at Washington club,
probably Congressional. All other
State tournaments will be played in
the Baltimore area, with the mems
championship going either to Rolling
Road or Rodgers Forge. and the
women's championship being assigned
to the Elkridge Club, scene of many
previous feminine title affairs.
The governing body Of golf in Mary
land is content to ride along with
the United States Golf Association in
its modification of stymie play and
will not depart from U. S. G. A. pro-
cedure. These are the principal de-
velopments coming out of the annual
gathering Of the Maryland State links
solons at the Elkridge Club last night,
but 1t would have been a more inter-
esting meeting, from the Washington
angle, had James A. Cosgrove, presi-
dent Of the District Golf Association,
and crusader against the stymie,
been present. Bad weather kept the
Washington representation down to a
single individual
Robert Stead, jr.. golf chair
man at Chevy Chase, was the
lone Washington club repre-
sentative attending the meeting.
Dates for some of the fixtures of the
Maryland association were not set, but
will be announced in few weeks. The
open championship, however, probably
will be held in August. rather than In
October as in past years.
Speaks for Stymie.
THERE was no doubt as to how the
officers Of the State association
feel about the stymie and its reten-
ton as an integral part Of the game.
John v. D. Tweedy, new president Of
the State association, in a prepared
speech, told the 20-odd delegates that
despite an almost unanimous senti-
ment of member clubs against playing
the stymie it is the opinion of the
Advisory and Executive Committees
of the Maryland organization that it
Is not best to take issue with the
United States Golf Association.
Particularly in the light Of the
lengthy consideration they have given
this subject and their considered de-
cision," said Tweedy. "The subject In
itself is not Of SUFFICIENT importance to
justify taking local action IN oppo-
sition to the national ruling" A mo-
ton by Stead that the Maryland State
association should 60 along with the
United States Golf Association was
carried with but one dissenting vote.
THE women's tourney was set for
May 24-28, inclusive, but the anna
teur championship dates and those
for the open and other Journeys were
left open. The amateur tourney this
year will 60 back to the old method
of play. with 16 men to qualify in sew
eral flights following an 18-hole
medal round. For several years the
Maryland association has qualified 81
men over q 36-hole medal round, linn
iting the tourney to one flight.
That sort Of tournament was
labeled . marathon" event" last
night BY Edgar A. Peppler, for
mer president.

Intercity Radio Chess.
IN CONTINUATION of q series Of
local tests made last on the prac-
ticability of playing chess by Short
wave radio. G. A. Briggs and D. s.
Burch. both Of the Department OF
Agriculture. recently conducted two
games with B. H. Saxton of Pitts
burgh.
Playing from Station W3CAB
at Briggs home, 1911 Spring
road. the moves were made by
Burch and transmitted by Oper-
ator Briggs to Saxton 1t the
latter's Station WSOKL, In
Pittsburgh.
Both matches were begun at 8 pm,
and the first game was completed
by 10:30. The second lasted only IL
moves when Saxton resigned. Burch
Is member Of the local Paul Morphy
Chess Club, while saxton, a radio
engineer, Is former member Of the
Pittsburgh Chess Club.
Briggs has developed a definite
system for transmitting chess moves,
and says that at no time in the inter-
city matches was there any doubt AZ
to the positions Of the chessmen.
Probably Briggs may ind that M. 8.
