The dizzy Whirl of local competi-
tive golf turned today to the woods
fringed fairWayS of the Manor
Country Club. where a good field
of amateur and professional links
men were playing in one of those
three-way Maryland State Golf AS
sociation affairs. They've become
routine events. but fun nonethe-
less, these events which feature
professional sweepstakes, amateur
sweepstakes and an amateur-pro
tourney with handicaps
But if you judge by the en-
thusiasm OF the guys and gals who
play in mixed foursome events. all
the associa tions in this territory
could get along with more Of them.
The lads and lassies really 90 for
them in a big way They had SO
entries from purely local clubs in
the District Golf Association mixed
foursome tourney at Congressional
yesterday. following the Maryland
tourney last week at Columbia,
where more than six score played,
many from Baltimore.
Mrs. Meckley Bosart Score II.
And if you judge from the way
the scoring is going in these mixed
foursome affairs nowadays they're
going to get down in the high COS
before long. When two good golfers
named Betty Meckley and Ralph
Bogart play a tough golf course in
II strokes it won't be long before
some pair get the puts rolling and
score down in. the Cos. That would
be just about Perfect golf for mixed
fourSome play Nor was that II
scored by Mrs. Meckley and Bogart
at Congressional yesterday any
chuck of child's play. They teamed
together perfectly - the District
mems champion and the Maryland
women's champion-to set scor-
ing record for mixed foursome
events around this redhot links
town. They won by six strokes, as
such a score should do, playing the
mines in 36 and 35. Their score was
one under mems par. which is quite
a piece of chunking in any league.
The main trouble with these
mixed foursome affairs, to both
players, is that they get cold be-
tween shots and lose the touch.
But Ralph and Betty never lost
their touch as they breezed around
that lengthy Congressional course,

Pick Over Kavakos
Feudine SoftboII Teams
Are Expected to Draw
Record Crowd Tonight

A better fielding Senate Beer team,
with the veteran Abe Rosenfleld in
the box, will be a slight favorite over
Kavakos Grill when those natural
rivals take the field at Griffith Sta
dunn tonight to settle one of the city's
outstanding softbsll feuds. Game
time is $50 o'clock
Billed as the battle OF the North
west VS.. the Northeast, with Senate
hailing from the western section of
Washington, the game will serve as
joint benefit. One-half of the net
profits will be donated to the United
Service Organizations, while the re-
mainder will be set aside to help de-
fray expenses of sending the Cap
itsls championship team to the ma
tional softball tournament at De-
troit in September.
Kavakos has established quite a
reputation for heavy hitting this
seeson and last week was credited
with a team batting average in the
.360s. but Senate supporters are rely
ing upon Rosenfeld to curb the en-
envy swatsmiths The Grillmen,
though. are counting upon Can

Rosenfield pitch for pitch. for Smith
is a young giant with binding speed
and a dazzling curve.
Although Kavskos beat Senate,
2-1. in the only game in which they
met last year. Rosenfield has
whipped Smith twice in three en-
counters this season when Smith
was hurting for International Busi-
ness Machines.
Both clubs have demonstrated
their class in their respective
leagues this season. Kovakos re-

Added attractions include a 100
