even a trolley engineer would delight
golf ball. They gave him that nam
for the pin. 1t will give you an ide,
you that he hit two pins yesterday
with iron shots from $50 and more
yards away. In one case the ball
bounced back 10 feet and he holed the
putt. In the other it bounced back
4 feet and he missed. But Trolley
Wire" doesn't often miss 4-footers.
John Brawner will be one of the top
entrants and one Of the main gents
to lick in that coming Chevy Chase
tournament.
He literally ties EN- on a
string. he's that straight with
his shots.
John has been q good golfer for a
good many years. but you don't hear
much about him because he's q work.
ing man and doesn't have a lot Of
time to play. The other day he shot
SO In the French High Commission
Cup tournament. which will give you
an idea. He was licked by Col. E. A.
Hickman, but the SO still stands. It
happens to be par for the Chevy Chase
course, and when guy shoots par
and is licked there isn't much you
can do about It,
The point is that Johnny Brawner
Is going to be tough hombre to lick
IN the Chevy Chase tourney II he can
get over the first four or five holes
without being too far down. Like
most business men John rushes out
to the course with q lot Of things on
his mind and for the first few holes
he Is of his stride. But then he
settles down and really hits that ball.
He and Bob Barnett did a fairly good
Job Of teaming up yesterday to score
better ball OF 81, and John almost
knocked the pin out Of the cup at the
tenth and fifteenth holes. Trolley
Wire" will not be among the favorites
at Chevy Chase, but he can win. Any
golfing gent who hits the ball SO
straight is hard to lick.
Ace Made by c. M. Dick.
But c. Matthews Dick, who doesn't
figure among the better golfers al
Chevy Chase, Is even straighter. Dick
scored the first. ace Of his career or
the 145-yard tenth hole yesterday. He
played the shot with a iron.
Two matches were completed in the
French High Commission Cup tourney

James P. Nolan up. and Gen. F. W
