a blistering pace over his home lay
out these days. II the young man
decides to compete in some OF the
summer Journeys on the P. G. A.
schedule and keeps up the KIND OF
golf he has been shooting at Burn

home mashie meadow Lew has aver
aged 67.6. Par at Burning Tree Is
70. Most of these rounds have been
played from the back tees. They
have consisted of five Sos and four
66s. one of which was shot against
Ed Dudley. the P. G. A. president
who has been in Washington for
several days in connection with war
relief links matches by P. G. A

Dudley Snead Play Course.
Nor is Dudley himself any sissy
on the scoring side Ed was one OF
several celebrities who played Burn
ing Tree yesterday. He fashioned
rounds of 81 and 68 for a total of
l35, which Is the lowest 36-hole
mark in a single day in our knoWl-
edge over that course. But Ed
didn't play from the back tees.

his Navy career. played Burning
Tree in SO, which is three better
than par. Sam didn't have the
magic putting touch of that 63 at
Chevy Chase few days ago. He
played with Federal Manpower Ad-

Sonny Fraser and J. w. Guider
