A disappointingly small entry in
the local sectional rounds for the
national amateur golf championship
was announced today for the quail
flying test next Tuesday at the Five
Farms course of the Baltimore
Country Club.
Only % players have entered the
sectional test leading up to the
national championship at Chicago,
September 11-16. Ten of the en-
trants are, from Washington. Five
places will be open to the top scor-
ers in the 36-hole tourney to be
run off by the Maryland State Golf
Association.
Missing from the local entry list
is Billy Shea Of Congressional, who
will play at Albany in the sectional
rounds. Other top amateurs miss
ing from the list are Roger Peacock,
mid-Atlantic amateur champion;
Claude Rippy of Indian Spring and
Harry G. Pitt of Manor.
Six Virginia players, including
Wynsol Spencer, the slender New
port News youngster, who holds the
State championship, have entered
the tourney. Separate qualification
rounds in past years have been
played in Virginia, but this year the
tourney at Baltimore is the only
one in this section. Ralph Bogart,

danger of further upsets was reduced
