Washington to Have Strong
Team in Play for Harding
Golf Cup in Baltimore

and Morris are no soft spots In any
mans tournament, even though you
have to favor the boys who know
the course.
Boys, for example, like Eddie
Meyer Of Baltimore, the youngster
who topped the big field with two
TBS for l46, and AL Hugelmyer, also
OF Baltimore, who scored 76-72-148.
But it's ample testimonial to the golf
Of Oliveri and Gipe to note that
they were tied for third with Jimmy
Armacost of Baltimore. They'll do
all right when the big show comes
up later.
Mrs. Kreuzburg Wins Star Gun.
Plucky little Mrs. Richard Kreuz-
burg Of Indian Spring today had
her name enrolled high on the list
OF top feminine golfers around
Washington-the only woman in the
24-year history of the tournament
for The Evening Star trophies who
has won the event twice in a row.
Not that she didn't have to fight
for 1t. but the point is she won. Mrs
kreuzburg, who as Virginia Pope,
few years back, held the Kenwood
Junior title and some other honors
around town, won the play-off yes
terday of tie on Thursday with
equally plucky Mrs. Judson c. Dale
of Kenwood. Virginia plodded
through the soggy going over the
Indian Spring course to win by
single stroke, scoring 90-7-S3
against 97-13-84 for Mrs. Dale.
The scoring tells the story of a
logged playoff under adverse course
conditions. Going to the lengthy
18th hole they were all square. But
there Mrs. Kreuzburg bagged a
mems par S while Mrs. Dale was
three-putting for a 7. That put
Mrs. Kreuzburg in front and she
held her winning margin, although
Mrs. Dale made a pIucky bid to
square again when she got a on
the 18th to 6 for the victor. Here
were the scores in the playoff:
Out At sb5 ss4 s4s-4s
Out 56e 5e5 754-4s
In s55 44s 54e-5-ao- 7-ss
In e65 546 745-s-e7-13-s4
The tie for the gross award, also
presented by The Star, will be
played of Wednesday between Mrs.
Betty P. Meckley and Mrs. Walter
r. Stokes of Indian Spring. Mrs.
Kreuzburg was presented with the
big Star Trophy and an individual
trophy by Mrs r. A. Lacey. presi-
dent OF the Women's District Golf
Association.
Vass Shows Sportsmanship.
That youngster, George o. Vass.
OF Kenwood. is a good sportsman.
just as his daddy used to be when
he played golf.
George had all the rules Of golf
behind him had he wanted to claim
the District junior championship
yesterday, after Jimmy Stevens of
Army Navy was taken i'll and was
unable to play the final.
No, I want to play" said George.
I don't want to take any match by
| default. particularly a final" So
Dr.. William c. Barr. secretary OF
| the District Golf Association, o. KID
Georges wish. The boys will play
for the title Monday morning at 9 30
Jimmy was sick boy. All through
his semi-final contest with David
Ross of Capital, which he won by
and g. Jimmy sang sweet
song Of victory. But the inner man
just lasted to the finish. The young
ster had been i'll for hours before
the final, and he was barely able to
stagger through. But he played IA
holes in one above par, just the same.
Vass bagged birdie on the 10th
hole to lick Earl Skinker, the medal
list. in the other semi-final. And
that one gesture tabs George as an
outstanding sportsman. He could
have had the District championship
without playing another match. But
he didn't want it that way,
