Evening star., 1939-09-07
By WALTER McCALLUM.

A red-headed youngster who
served a hitch in Bob Barnett's golf
shop, where so many good golfers
have started. may prove to be the
dark horse of the current municipal
golf championship, under way at
East Potomac Park.
Six or seven years ago slim Neil
Turner was the captain of a good
Central High School golf team.
Thinking he wanted to stay in golf,
and showing considerable promise as
a club -wielder, Neil got himself a
job in Bob Barnetts shop. Bob has
a liking for redheads who may be-
come good players. But Neil stuck
around for while and then got
job in the Government, meanwhile
getting back his amateur status.
Today that same Turner has his
name hung up along with that of
Defending Champion Andy Ollveri
as one of the lads to lick in the
municipal tourney. All Neil did yes
terday to win two matches was to
shoot a SO and 73. Oliverl scored
68 and 73. so you can see Neil wasn't
SO far behind. Turner met a tartar
today in steady Harry H. Saunders
who filings good horseshoe in the
little barnyard golf tournaments put
on by The Star. But we have
the suspicion that Harry is a better
horseshoe man than golfer. Oil
veri met Ralph Grimes, who went to
the goth hole to lick long-hitting
Joe Micker.
Other matches found Julian Will
liams meeting Wilbur Seay, another
tall redhead from Anacostla, and
K. M. Skaggs, who had 70 yesterday,
meeting Julian Murphy.
The 36-hole final of the tourney
is to be played tomorrow.
Oliveri Licks Par.
Oliveri's 63 in the opening match
round was as fine piece of golf for
16 holes as ever has been played on
the municipal courses. At the 18th
tee Andy needed three pars for a
66, which would have been six un-
der par. But he finished lame 1or
a SO. He still remains the guy to
lick. Andy can't get very far out
of the groove with that smooth
swing and his good putting touch.
