BY WALLER MctALLtM,
Junior links championships, very
much part of the golf calendar
this month, undoubtedly won't find
the big fields of other years, for
the youngsters nowadays have more
serious things than golf to think
about. But the three junior title
Journeys coming up in July, even
though they may be the last for
a while, will turn out good fields.
First of the trio of junior events
this month is the Middle Atlantic
championship, which hasn't been
advertised very much. 1t will be
PLAYED Tuesday over the 36-hole
route at Congressional, and entries
will be accepted by Secretary Rob-
ert A. Keilty up to 9 am. that day.
An entry fee of ST will be charged,
and entries will be accepted only
for Junior members or sons of men,
bers of Middle Atlantic Golf Asso-
citation clubs.
Eddie Johnston, the smooth swing
ing Baltimore youngster, won last
years tourney, joining list of mid
Atlantic Junior titleholders which
included Bobby Brownell and Otto
Greiner. So far the juniors have
not been seriously affected by the
war, even though some of them are
in military service. But their minds
hardly are on competitive golf as
they have been in other and more
carefree years.
Two Maryland Events Scheduled.
Maryland's Junior open, syn
thetic kind of tournament open to
young pros and junior amateurs, is
scheduled for the Roland Park
course of the Baltimore Country
Club July IA, with the Maryland
Junior championship, an altogether
different tourney, set for Argyle
July %. Johnston won the junior
open last year, and Bill Cassedy
of Argyle exchange the District
Junior title, won in 1910, for the
Maryland junior crown.
July happens to be a big month
for the Maryland State Golf As
sociation, for also next week the
Old Line State solons will stage
one of their most popular affairs
the first of two mixed Scotch four
some tournaments. This one, to
be held July at Chevy Chase, is
sure to pull out a banner field.
Every one wants to play Chevy
Chase and particularly in mixed
foursome; that is those golfers who
care for that type of game, 1t isn't
too popular with the dollar Nassau
crowd that blows off steam in regu-
ar-foursomes, but some people go
in strong for mixed foursome COM
petition.
Next week is fairly heavy on the
golf front, for in addition to the
Mid-Atlantic junior and the Mary
land mixed foursome event, the
women will play Friday at the
Washington Golf and Country Club
in the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn tournament. Entries will close
July with Mrs. Carter Magruder
tournament chairman for the Wom-
ems District Golf Association.

Federal golfers will gather at Ken

championship.
