Biggest Pro.Am Meet
OF Year Scheduled
For D. T.. Golfers
Manor Will Hold Event
October n; Team Tilt
At HilIendoIe Club
By WALTER McCALLUM.


One more pro-amateur tourney,
possibly the biggest of the season,
has been arranged by the Middle
Atlantic PGA and the Maryland
State Golf Association before the
pro linksmen wrap their competition
season up and pack it away in moth
balls, perhaps for the duration. The
tourney will be played at the Manor
Country Club October 2l, three days
before Manor stages its annual field
day event.
Arranged jointly by DR.. r. A.
Keilty of the Maryland association
and Al Houghton, tournament chair
man for the PGA, the affair will be
built up as the biggest and best Of
the season, which 1t may be. It IS
to be held at Manor because that
club has held only one of these at
fairs this year, and because it is the
closest club to Baltimore.
Team Match at Hillendale.
Hillendale has been chosen as the
scene of Sundays final match for
the Maryland State team champion
ship between Indian Spring and
Rolling Road. The Hillendale course,
a picturesque layout north of Balti-
more, isn't considered the best
course around that town, but it Is a
good test, and will be fair for both
teams.
Indian Spring, with possibly its
strongest outfit in years. hopes to
shatter the jinx which has licked
the -Four Corners clubmen in two
straight championship final rounds.
The teams will start play at 1890
pm. to insure plenty of playing
time.
Dutch Harrison, the ambling Will
Rogers of pro golf; Gene Kunes, and
Bud Lewis, the Philadelphia young
ster who licked Lew Worsham for
the Philadelphia open champion
ship, are added starters in the SEN
ior-pro tourney at Chevy Chase to-
morrow. This one, arranged by
Chevy Chase Pro Bob Barnett, will
be one Of the biggest and best Of a
lengthy series Of senior pro affairs
at that club. Some so seniors and
more than 80 pros have entered the
affair, and Jack Redmond, the trick
shot artist, will do his stun.
Jack didn't get chance to show
much OF his repertoire at Con-
gressionals field day yesterday
More than $50 players, all starting
after noon, left Jack little time to
demonstrate the technique of golf
as it should not be played. Or so
Jack calls his stunt.
Keilty Beats the Odds.
Witty Cox and that hard working
Congressional committee put on the
usual good party. with guests from
all the clubs around town, and with
pros handling the betting on the
short holes. Present to make juicy
odds against hitting the greens,
short holes in par. and so on, were
Bob Barnett, AL Houghton, Al Jami-
son, Lew Worsham. Gene Larkin
Claggett Stevens and Walter Bogley
They did pretty good job of collec-
ting cash and paying of in golf balls
until Doc Keilty raped in birdie
deuce on the 18th. That paid OF
in IA golf balls, for Keilty had
taken big odds he wouldn't get it.
