on, 1 guess IL S llUCle laUe 10 ngure
on that" said Bobby Brownell THE
national amateur is coming up soon
and some Of us will go to that And
right after the amateur school will
start. Yes, I guess It's too late 4"
Maybe Nate didn't exactly sigh audibly,
but I can't believe he cared much for
the 9-to-3 licking his Baltimore juniors
absorbed at the hands Of Brownell,
Shea, sharkey and company.
They are just too good-these junior
boys. And II any senior team you
could find around town thinks they
aren't good think meeting could be
arranged, and I might, II pushed, bet
bob or so on the kids.
And don't make wagers. 1
make investments.
That would surely be an investment,
for If the juniors had their full
strength on a six-man team I doubt
il any senior team around town could
whip them. Certainly Nate Kaufman
and tall Otto Greiner and their boy
friends from Baltimore lacked being
good enough by full brassie shot.
Only one Washington junior team
dropped more than q half point In
that match yesterday. Scotty Ross Of
Capital and Jack Robinson of Indian
Spring ran up against . hot hand by
Jack Bierman and George Rice Of
Baltimore and dropped ~ points.
Otherwise the matches were walkovers
for the Washington boys. Here's the
way the points were won:
Bobby Brownell and Buddy Sharkey,
Washington, ga points; Otto Greiner
and Nathan kaufman, Baltimore, u
point
Billy Shea and Ralph Bogart, Wash
ington, 3 points; Ashley Ogden and
Charles Follmer. Baltimore, points.
David Ross and Jack Robinson,
Washington. Il point; George Rice
and Jack Bierman, Baltimore, "a
points.
Jim Thompson and Ed Bodnar
Washington, 3 points; Ed johnson and
Guy Taylor. Baltimore points.

Billy Shea, back on his stick In
preparation for the amateur cham
pionship trials at Congressional next
Tuesday picked up all the marbles in
little pool among the Washington
lads with one-over-par II. Brownell
did 73. But there won't be any re-
turn match this year.
After all, there's q limit to
what boys can take, and Nate
Kaufman knows when enough Is
enough
1t may become a home and home
af1air next year. and maybe the IA
theirs Of the golf associations will pat
themselves on the back and say:
We're helping the boys by these
matches" They needn't The boys
did pretty successful job of putting
on their own match.
They said that little Joe Rodgers, q
150-pound guy who looked like =
midget among the 2l0-pounders who
froze their muscles until they couldn t
dent cream-puff. won that driving
contest down at East Potomac Park
last night. Joe did . pretty good Job
Of smacking the ball down the narrow
path between the stakes. But OF al
the right Of the little cubicle where
the mighty hitters did their stuff there
was a guy who thumbed his nose at all
the accepted principles Of good driving
form, who hit 'em cunny- thumb, and
who mauled the ball farther thar
1t might just be that one Of
the tremendous slantS he hit out
as he fell away from the ball
wandered over into the driving
range and was clocked as the
one which went I'll yards to
win the contest.
Maybe it did and maybe it didn't
| but the guy with the funny swing
could crack that ball.
Joe Rodgers played in the recent
Rock Greek Park tourney and did al
right. Next to him was Benjamin
, Campbell with a whack Of 272 yards
Bobby Bowers, winner ut Rock Greek
Park last week, knocked one 2es
, yards l foot for third place
1t came on the heels Of a southpaw
tourney that was drummed up unex-
pectedly by Tommy Doerer. Early in
the day Tommy had decided not to
hold it because of lack Of entries, but
/ the four contestants insisted, and
today Claude Tyler, an 1S-year-old
/ youngster, is the city municipal south
paw champ. Claude had rounds of SO
and 81 for l65 to win. Larry Byers
| was next at ITS.
