Evening star., 1941-05-12

Only one Washington team re-
manned today in the chase for the
Maryland State Golf Association
four-ball championship. Yes, you
guessed it. The surviving local duo
is Claude Rippy and Roger Pea
cock of Indian Spring, who won the
title last year.
There wasn't a dry eye in the
house as six Washington pairs went
down to defeat in a hectic day of
firing at Indian Spring. Both
Columbia teams, both Kenwood
teams, and pairs from Bannockburn
and Indian Spring were whipped by
Baltimore teams in general blitz-
krieg aimed at Washingtons best
amateur linksmen.
Rippy and Peacock will face portly
Nate kaufman, jr., and Arnold Lit
man of the Baltimore Suburban
Club in the quarter-flnal round
next Sunday at Baltimore's Wood
holme Country Club.
They came through with fairly
easy 4-and-3 victory over Bob SWIM
dell and Charles Dunning of the
Baltimore Country Club.
Big surprise of the second round
was the 5-and-4 trimming handed
the crack Columbia duo of Earle
Skinker and George F. Miller by
John M. Mackenzie and John Far
rell of Hillendale. Mackenzie is
president of the Maryland State Golf
Association. Executives generally
aren't such hot golfers. But Mac
Kenzie and Farrell were red hot as
they breezed through the Skinker-
Miller team with holes to spare.
