Schoolboy golfers, tossed around
pretty much since the High School
Athletic Council turned lackadaisi-
cal about the public high schools
playing the private schools and the
schools outside of Washington, are
behind the eight-ball again. Today
they are wondering whether a play
off for the metropolitan schoolboy
championship, scheduled for tomor-
row between Roosevelt-the public
high champions of the city-and
Bethesda-Chevy Chase, which won
the title among the schools outside
OF Washington-will be played to
decide the metropolitan title.
The High School Athletic Council
did not permit matches this year
between the city schools the private
schools and those outside of WASH
ington. But the Dawes Cup race
having been settled and the cham
pionship outside of Washington hav-
ing been decided the boys thought
it would be good idea to play for
the metropolitan title Maybe it
will be played tomorrow, maybe
later, and maybe not at all It's too
bad, the way schoolboy golf has been
booted around this year. and it's
high time the District Golf Associa-
ton took hold of it and made it a
big feature of the links year, as it
should be.
And wouldn't the week end of
June 2, and be all right for the
individual championship of the
schoolboys? Every other city has
an interscholastic champion, but
unless some steps are taken this
year nothing is going to be done
about 1t here.
Capital Women Play Well.
Any lingering doubt that Wash
tngton women golfers can get TO-
gether a team that can lick any,
thing in this links sector was at
rest today following the 1914 to 21a
shellacking handed the visiting
Baltimore women by the stalwart
par busters gathered at Manor
under the banner of the District
Women's Golf Association.
Granted that Manor is not the
toughest course around Washington
for women, and that it was in eX-
cellent condition for scoring, the
fact still remains that the scoring
in that match was terrific. Mrs.
Myron Davy, the Congressional star,
had an individual 76. Betty Meek
ley of Indian Spring had 78. Mrs.
Meckley and Marion Brown had a
better ball of 10, and Mrs. Davy
and Mrs. Walter R. Stokes had a
better ball of II. Such scoring
wouldn't be much bettered by teams
OF professionals.
No wonder the Baltimore women,
who performed so well in the Mary
land State championship last week,
took it on the chin from the strong
team gathered by Mrs. J. F. Dow
dali, captain of the Washington
intercity aggregation.
Here is the way the points were
