Evening star., 1942-06-13

District title tourney opening Mon
day at the Chevy Chase Club with
more than $50 entrants. 1t is the
largest championship field in the
history of feminine golf around
Washington.
In addition to passing up the Dis
trict championship Mrs. Davy may
not come back to defend her Middle
Atlantic title or the Maryland medal
play crown, both OF which she won
last year against the top opposi-
ton, not only from Washington but
from Baltimore as we'll. All the rest
of the topliners among the women
around town are in the entry list.
but Mrs. Davy has not entered her
name. Even If she came back to
Washington by air she could not
now play in the District tourney,
since the Women's District Golf As
ISOLATION enforces its deadline on
entries, which closed Thursday.
Mrs. Walter L. Weible, president
of the WDGA, said she understood
when Mrs Davy left town that the
Middle Atlantic champion probably
will not come back to the Capital
this summer, which probably means
she will not defend the Middle At
lantic crown in the tourney sched-
uled for August at Congressional.
So the big four of women's feminine
golf around town becomes the big
three. They are Mrs. Walter r..
Stokes, the reigning District champ;
Mrs. Betty Meckley, Maryland title
holder, and Mrs. Leo Walper. former
District champ. with a possibility
that Elizabeth Houghton, who won
the crown in 1910, may make it
quartet.
Brownrigg Home From Hospital.
Bill Brownrigg, the Roosevelt High
School captain, seriously injured in
an accident week before the
schoolboy championship started, is
home from the hospital following
an operation. but he is being denied
visitors. Bill probably won't be on
the golf course for several months,
and is out Of tournament play for
a while.
Arthur M. Hill took 5-ron in
hand and played so fine shot to
the thirteenth green at Columbia
that the ball took a couple of hops
and nestled into the cup for an ace.
The hole plays around l65 yards in
length.
Leading in the chase for the Tom
Moore Cup at the washington Golf
and Country Club is r. E. Hotze,
