By WALTER McCALLUM.

supremacy Is draWn between WaSn-
ington and Baltimore this year in
the Maryland State Golf Associa-
ton four-ball championship, start
ing tomorrow over the finely
groomed course of the Indian
Spring Country Club. Those am
bilious lads from Baltimore, good
golfers that they are, haven't been
particularly successful against
Washington combinations. You
don't have to go further than the
record of the club team champion
ships, starting away back in 1881,
to find that Washington teams
have been uniformly successful in
their meetings with the lads from
our neighboring city. And in case
you might think these were casual
affairs, look back on the record of
an all-star match between picked
teams from the two towns last year
and you'll find that Washington
again grabbed the victory, and by
a good margin.
Washington golfers have so often
and in so many ways proven they
are better men on the mashie
meadows that there isn't much rea-
son to think their superiority will
not be carried forward in the series
starting tomorrow for the cham
pionship won last year by Elliott
Spicer and Leroy Sasscer, the sur
prise pair from Indian Spring, who,
by the way, won't be playing to-
gether this year. Here are the pair
