Club women golfers, for several years
without an outstanding competitor
in the big tournaments around the
Capital, are talking about new
member of the club who, they say,
can play a lot of golf.
The feminine player is Mrs. T. o.
Brandon, wife of a naval officer, who
played the tough Washington course
for the first time yesterday in 78
strokes against the mems par of 10.
She played the mines in 81 and Al,
and had an on her card.
Washington's junior championship
is on today, with Cliff Gruver one
of the favorites to win the title.
An entry list of men wen below
the expected 200 started today in
the 18th annual championship
of the Union Printcrafts Inter-
national Golf Association at Beaver
Dam. A few more than 130 men
were to play 18 holes today, in the
opening round of the tourney. with
Joe Balestri, Beaver Dam champ
and tournament favorite, billed to
start the parade at 7:30 am. E. B.
Heimer and Edgar A. Merkle, also
Washington favorites, were early
starters. One round each day will
be played through Thursday, and the
affair will wind up with banquet
Thursday night at the Mayfower
Washington Amateurs Win.
The Washington lads would better
muster all their strength next year
when they clash with a Baltimore
au-star aggregation, or they'll lose
that intercity amateur match for the
first time. They came pretty close
to licking yesterday as they barely
nosed out the Baltimoreans in a
match at Terra Mariae by score of
1914 to liz points. Louis Fuchs
of Manor, acting as captain in the
absence of Volney Burnett, brought
in the decisive point with a victory
over Scotty Reid. Washington's S
team was weakened by the absence
of several stars.
High spots of the match, arranged
by the Maryland State Golf Associ-
alton, were Roger Peacock's opening
nine of 81, and the victory of Pea
cock and Claude Rippy over Spencer
Overton and Erford Barnes. They
licked the same pair in the spring
two-ball matches to win the State
championship. The finish put On by
Willie Shea to lick Eddie Johnston,
who was up with 8 to play, and
the game last-ditch stand of Colum-
bias George F. Miller, who won the
last two holes to square his match
against Edgar A. Lucas.
