Pros to Play at Columbia.
Sectional qualification rounds for
the open championship will be
staged Monday, May 26. at Colum-
bia. if the District Golf Association
runs the tourney. Albert r. Mac
Kenzie, speaking for the club. asked
that the qualifying rounds for the
open be given to Columbia, but spe-
Gifted that the District Golf Asso-
cjation should handle the 36-hole
event. It was pointed out that un-
der an existing agreement with the
MARYLAND State Golf Association the
District association handles such
affairs when played here. But both
sectional rounds were played here
last year and we're handled by the
MARYLAND State association.
Chevy Chase probably will get the

gust IA, under the same arrange
ment.
