CluD pro, ISL one 10 SQudWk dDOuI
licking in a golf match. Gene
knows that golf is an up-and-down
game and that any linksman is apt
to run into a hot streak any time.
But he would like to know when
Ralph Beach, the Baltimore Sub
urban pro. who learned the game at
Washington, Chevy Chase and Burn
ing Tree. is going to cool off.
The reason is that Gene shot q
hree-under-par- 81 and was licked,
3 and 2, by Beach. 1t happened in
a team match at Suburban. which
found the host club linkSmen whip
ping Woodmont, l5is to liz. Gene
played the first nine in 33 and was
2 down. He played the course in
Ct and lost. Beach shot a "a, six
under par.
No wonder Gene is waiting for the
day to come when he can turn the
tables. Beach and Larkin have
played three times in these matches
and Gene has been licked thrice.
And not because he played badly
He has had 81. So and 10 and has
lost all three matches. So he has
a legitimate reason to feel his time
is coming.

with Harold Strasser the winner in
| class A with 85-18-67. while Harry
Rubin won in class B with o.
