By WALTER McCALLUM.

BY WALTER McCALLUM.
First of a series of three major
holiday golf tournaments for the di-
rect benefit of the American Red
Cross comes up at more than half
a dozen country clubs around Wash
ington Saturday and Sunday and
probably will find Mr.. and Mrs.
Capital City Golfer pouring several
thousand dollars into the Red Cross
Golfers through voluntary contribu-
tions at a buck round. It's the
first big chance for golfers en- maSse
to do their bit for the Red Cross this
budding young links season, and
they won't muff it. Seven country
clubs around town are listed by
the United States Golf Association
as those who have joined the pa
rade, but undoubtedly others will
hold Red Cross Journeys.
The Middle Atlantic Golf Associ-
alton Is sponsoring the Journeys IN
this area, and weeks ago the follow
ing local clubs had entered: Ban
nockburn, Bradley Hills, Columbia,
Indian Spring. KenWood, Congress
sional and Washington. Without
any question arrangements will be
made by Chevy Chase, Argyle, Army
Navy. Burning Tree, Woodmont and
Prince Georges for their members
to participate in this very worth
while cause. The entry fee is a
dollar per round, with the total
amount raised to be delivered by the
war relief chairman at each club to
the Red Cross Certificates will be
awarded by the Red Cross to the
winners in the Journeys to be held
by the clubs. Similar Journeys will
be played ON the week ends of July
and S, and September 5, 6 and 7.
This tourney happens to be the
first big chance for Washington
golfers to get behind the Red Cross
1t amounts to another Roll Call
contribution, and any golfer should
be willing to kick in with buck.
Thousands of clubs throughout the
land are doing the same thing and
when returns are in from all pre-
cincts probably it will be found that
golfers have raised quite pot.
Ho Hum, Cox Scores 6S.
Witty Cox, very much in the groove
nowadays, scored another of his
patented 68s in a round at Con-
gressional with Bob Barnett and
Ralph Quinter. jr Witty played the
first nine in 33 whacks, four under
par. and played the last nine in
par IS. His putter was red hot.
John F. Brawner is acting chair
man of the Golf Committee of the
Chevy Chase Club, vice Frank P.
Reside, and probably will be named
permanent chairman. Other men,
bers of the committee are Franklin
l.. Fisher and C. Ashmead Fuller.
