They won't have another local affair
until September IL.
Over at Army Navy Country Club
today small field of "junior" golf
ers, made up of boys who haven't
reached their 18th birthday, were
playing in the medal round Of the
District Junior championship. Dick
Meyer, who won last year, has
passed the age limit and cannot
defend. But there are other good
golfers in there. Boys like George
Vass of Kenwood and Scotty Ross
of Capital are good shotmakers.
But they ought to call 1t a boys
championship. 1t is hardly a junior
event because of the age limit.
Match play in the tourney will start
tomorrow.

Sharkey, the new Maryland junior
champ, they'd have real junior

raises the question as to what is q
junior. If Buddy Is a junior for
the Maryland affair, why isn't he a
junior for the District? But he has
passed the age limit of 1S and there
fore is ineligible today.
Buddy put on quite show to win
the Maryland junior at Woodmont

Seldom has country club around
Washington gathered its member
ship so Fundamentally to honor a
man as Columbia did to honor Gen
Craig yesterday.
High-ranking officers of the Army
and Navy sat down with mere
civilians to hear club officers extoll
the genial Army commander, and
