Evening star., 1939-05-31
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Scoring as hot as the weather is
coming out of that tournament for
the Walter Hagen Trophy at Ana
costa, where Harry Graham, the
new course manager, is setting at
tendance marks for the Fairlawn
layout.
Jim Gipe, the Navy mechanic, who
looms as a possible successor to
Andy Oliveri for the District mu-
nicipal links crown, tops the field in
the medal round for the Hagen Tro-
ply with sizzling St, which hap
pens to be one better than par of
the fiat layout on the banks of the
Eastern Branch. Two Cos. couple
of TBS and a flock of TBS and 74s
have been turned in for the qualify
ing round which ends next Sunday.
Match-play rounds will get under
way Tuesday, June 6.
The FairlaWn course. which now
is included in the Leoffler- operated
chain of public golf enterprises, is
on the short side Such scoring is
to be expected. They don't make
scores like that at East Potomac
Park. But Gipe happens to be a
very good golfer. Only last year he
set an official amateur record for
the Washington course, with 68 in
the medal round of the invitation
tourney. That mark still stands and
is likely to remain for awhile. Gipe
appears as the man Oliveri will have
to lick for the municipal crown, and
also looms as one of the Washington
qualifierS for the national tourney
in July.
