Within a few days Iron Man"
Martin F. Mccarthy, and George F.
Miller, two of Columbia's soundest
amateur golfers, will defend their
Cummings Cup two-man team
championship at the big club out
toward Chevy Chase Lake.
DR.. Paul M. Stewart, Golf Com
mittee chairman, today sounded a
call for all potential candidates for
the challenge round in She Cum
mings Cup toursey to appear on the
first tee tomorrow, where Red
Banagan will see they are escorted
around the course in proper fashion,
to get ready for the challenge round
to be held later In the week. Nc
Carthy and Miller. the defenders,
do not have to qualify. They have
a little chore to do at the Capital
Club also. But a flock of other
candidates are in the running for
the Cummings Trophy.
Perhaps the chief of the pairs
which may win the challenge round
spot are the combinations of Maury
Nee and Earle Skinker and Luther
G. Steward, jr., and Don Bucking-
ham. Steward once was a GOWN
ner OF the trophy, with Albert r.
Mackenzie as his partner. They
were the combination which ended
the five-year reign of Miller B.
STEVENSON and Donald Woodward.
Now Mccarthy and Miller loom
as the tough gents to lick. This
week will tell the tale.
All-Washington Women's Final.
An all-Washington final round in
the Maryland womens champion
ship was coming up this afternoon
over the rugged Hillendale Country
Club course near Baltimore, where
Mrs. Walter R. Stokes of Manor.

Davy, Congressional Country Club
champion.
This pair of good feminine golfers
from the Capital overcame first
class opposition yesterday to reach
the ultimate round Mrs. Davy

former champion and medalist in
the tourney. by 4 and 2 in
round of ordinary golf, while Mrs.
Stokes had her second straight rs
TO beat Elizabeth Bonthron of
Hillnedale S and 4.
A final round for the Maryland
title between two Washington
women isn't new. It's been PLAYED
before-several times. The final
was to start at o'clock this after
noon.
Seventeen-year-old Bill Cassidy.
youngster who likes baseball much
more than golf, today hung up the
District junior championship trophy
at Indian Spring. Bill is student
at Montgomery Blair High School,
but he didn't go out for golf last
spring. Il played in the infield on
the ball team and didn't try for
the golf team" said the new junior
champ.
But Bill would have been quite
an asset to the links team at Blair.
He romped through the Junior
championship final at Woodmont
yesterday, licking Bob Donohue of
Indian Spring by 2 and l. Earlier
Cassidy had licked George o. Vass
OF Western and Kenwood on the
twenty-second hole, while Donofue
won his semifnal match from
Buster Mrstek of Capital with a
stymie on the last hole.
The stymie was reversed in the
final, however, for with Cassidy l
up at the 10Th, he laid Donohue a
dead stymie for half, and then
again stymied the runnerup on the
seventeenth. That one won the
match for Cassidy.
Match Play at Capital.
Sixteen teams of good golfers
started match play today at the
Capital club in a best-ball tourney
which is sure to be marked by some
extremely low scoring before the
