BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Committed to schedule of team
matches on numerical lineup of
eight for first teams, six for second
teams and four for third teams,
woman golfers of the town today
have their important Tournament
Committee setup completed, pend
ing a meeting of the Women's Dis
trlct Golf Association in March, at
which the entire tournament slate
will be announced A month ago
the women announced that first
teams would number 10 players each,
on the theory that larger teams
would reduce the chances of such
strong outfits as Indian Spring, pres
ent first team champion, and Chevy
Chase, the runnerup In 1888.
They have reduced the number
OF flrst-team players to eight, which
seems tantamount to another victory
for Indian Spring this year. Last
spring the Indian Spring outfit had
comparatively little trouble winning
from Chevy Chase, the only other
club which placed first team in the
tourney. With Marion Brown, Mrs.
Betty P. Meckley, Mrs. Charlotte S.
Stern, Mrs Myron Davy, Mrs. Wal
ter R. Stokes and Mrs. C. P. Med
ley all playing for Indian Spring
any other local club will have a hard
time stopping such seasoned and
brilliant outfit.
