Former Cup Winner Battling
Mrs. Dale for Prize; Juniors
Down to Semi Round

will play of their tie next week,
probably Wednesday.
The tournament brought the early
feminine links schedule to q close.
And most of the gals are sorry.
They aren't too pleased that
it's all over until September. If
some one proposed another big
meet next week they'd go for it
in big way. The women really 60
in for golf. If they keep on getting
bigger entry lists as they have done
this year they'll have to search
around for new way to play their
tournaments. Either that or use
two courses.
Here are the leading scores in The
Star Cup tourney:

Junior Final Today.
A new District Junior golf cham
pion was to be crowned late this
afternoon at Army Navy Country
Clubs rugged course, where for the
past two days the newest crop Of
youngsters have been licking each
other, their eyes on the coveted title
relinquished by Dick Meyer of
Manor, who has passed the age limit
of 18.
The semi-final round today found
tow-thatched Earl Skinker, the
chubby little medalist from Co.
lumbia. opposing George Vass Of
Kenwood. last years runner-up, and
Jimmy Stevens, jr.. OF Army Navy
matching shots with David Ross Of
Capital. Strictly on form Skinker
should win. for he has played the
best golf of all the lads so far.
He won the medal with "a, and
then waded through two opponents
yesterday without being badly
pushed. And he played % holes in
level par in doing it. Few juniors
can play that kind of golf over such
a tough layout as that service cluo
course. But golf form, as I think
I've said before. is evanescent. Earl
had no soft spot today in George
Vass, who was runner-up to Meyer
In 1898.
Jerry Brode of Woodmont put on
the real show yesterday, coming
from down at the turn in the
quarter final against Dave Ross to
l down at the 18th. Then Jerry
stuck tee shot 3 feet from the
pin at the 18th and seemed sure to
send the match into extra holes.
But he missed the putt.
Public Linksmen in Test.
Over at Baltimore today most Of
Washington's top public lnksmen
were playing 36 holes over the fine
Mount Pleasant public course seek
ing some of the 10 qualifying spots
awarded to the Washington Mary
land sector for the national cham
pionship. The title tourney will be
played at Mount Pleasant starting
July "a.
Top golfers from the Capital in
the tourney were Andrew Ohveri, the
relgning District public links champ;
Jim Gipe, the smooth swinger from
the Navy Department: methodical
Bobby Burton and Joe Micker. The
first three qualified last year for the
national tourney. 1t wouldn't be any
upset If the boys from the Capital
grabbed five or six of the qualifying
spots. But Baltimore has some pretty
good municipal linksmen, with Eddie
Johnston and Jim Armacost heading
the list. Maybe it won't be too long
before they bring the national
championship to Washington.
