Pro Stakes Top|iner
Of East Potomac's
Golf Schedule
Team Matches, Informal
Hondicops Supplement
Event Listed June II

Three team matches and flock
of informal handicap affairs played
on week ends will dot the schedule
for golfers at East Potomac Park
this year, even though a club or
ganization yet is to be perfected at
the downtown public course.
High spot of the season is a pro-
fessional sweepstakes tournament
Endorsed by the Middle Atlantic P
G.. A., for June II. This affair will
bring to East Potomac Park two
days after the national open cham
pionship a group of the leading pre-
stars of the Nation in addition to all
top-notchers from this sector.
Big Spring Tourney Looms.
A team of 16 men from East Po-
tomac Park will entertain the Glen.
wood Club of Richmond at Potomac
Park on Sunday, April %. Later in
the year the Potomac Park linksmen
will play the Glenwood and Laurel
clubs of Richmond. Jack Mccarthy
captains the the Potomac Park
team. with Lou Spangler as as.
siStant.
Just now Tommy Doerer. East
Potomac Park golf manager, is
working hard to make the spring
tournament the big success it was
last year, when more than 400 en-
tered the affair and 20 flights COM
peted at match play. Dutch Rit-
tenhouse. last years winner, has
promised to play in the tourney
which already has more than $50
entries. Doerer predicts that before
the medal rounds are completed on
April 80 nearly 500 golfers will have
competed. A separate flight will be
arranged for women
Meanwhile appointment TO a pro-
fesional at Anacostia Park is ex-
pected any day now. The course
will open in its entirety within a
few days and the new pro, so rumor
has it, will come from out of town.
Women's Tits Under Way.
Initial team matches of the 1889
season today found more than 100
women playing over the Beaver
Dam and Washington courses in
contests that would indicate a def
mite measure of the strength of the
teams in the feminine interclub
series.
First teams played at Beaver Dam
while second and third teams met
at Washington.
Main interest in this years
matches centers around the first
team contest, where Indian Spring,
last years winner looms as the team
to lick. Chevy Chase, Congressional
and Army-Navy all have strong
teams, however, with the latter out
fit billed as the dark horse.
Mrs. David H. Clarke, former mid
Atlantic champion. and Mrs. Hume
Peabody both have returned to
Washington and will play through
the schedule for the Army Navy
Club.

war veteran. had run IS laps, and

tied down the Hoyas' apparently

scoring. Two home runs were hit
off of Hoya slants, but four double
plays proved life-savers in tight
