Next big tournament for the
dWindling crop of good amateur
linksmen around town is the Dis
trict amateur championship sched-
uled for Congressional September 9,
10 and II. Probably new champ
will be crowned this year, for there S
little hope that Ralph Bogart, win
ner of the tourney for the last three
years, will be around to defend.
Nor will Bobby BroWnell, top
ranking amateur of 1941, be able to
play. Bogart is in the Navy and
Brownell is with the FBI. Both are
too busy to play competitive golf.
But couple of fellows who
haven't done much in the way of
winning golf tournaments around
town may have something to say
about the District title tourney this
year, although there's always Claude
Rippy to be considered before any
championships are being passed out.
Judged by the way Claude stalked
through the field in the Middle
Atlantic In June he looms as the
man to lick.
Kenwood Has Title Prospects.
George Diffenbaugh has couple
Of clubswingers at Kenwood whom
he claims can stake a worthwhile
claim for the title, and over at Co.
lumbia at least two of the middle
aged gents who make things tough
for the youngsters around that club
are getting in the groove for the
coming tourney. John o. Bergelin.
former Michigan University golf
captain, is one of the men George
talks about. THAT fellow Is an
enigma to me-" says George. HE
can come out here after a two
month layoff from golf and shoot a
II or 70 any time. When he has
IS it's bad round"
The other lad George thinks has
a chance at the District title is l6-
year-old Bob Roy, husky youngster
with a good swing who knocks the
ball long way. Just a couple of
days ago that boy shot SO here, "
said George. Roy was member of
the Wilson High School links team
last spring and didn't show any
semblance of being red hot in the
schoolboy matches. But lately, ac-
cording to George he has been
taking par apart.
Mccarthy Scores 50.
Back in 1887 Martin F. Mccarthy
nicknaned the Iron Man" was
runnerup for the District title to
Billy Shea. Martin is one of those
once-a-week golfers. But he can
60 when he has to. He romped in
with a subpar 50 Sunday, giving Ray
Swearingen the chill on the way.
Ray happens to be the Columbia
champ and a man not to be taken
lightly in any links company.
The District amateur champion
ship, last of the big amateur events
around Washington this year, looms
as a free-or-al show Nor will it
be lacking in class, although the de-
Tending champ probably won't be
around.
Columbia Junior golfers have SET
their tourney for September 9 ano
10, with the juniors to qualify ir
flights of eight. The tourney will be
in charge of John G. Walker ano
George Rita. Tom Brandon, jr., who
won last year, is not eligible this
year under the quaint Columbia rule
that the defending champion canno1
compete.
New Winners in Women's Golf.
Feminine Journeys this year arr

of bringing out new winners al
along the line. Following the sam'
pattern the Times Herald Cup tour
neys yesterday at Kenwood and Co
lunbia produced new winners il
both handicap classes, and nev
names in the prize list.
Next event on the feminine sched
ule is the Corby Cup tourney, SLATED
for Columbia September IL. A pro
woman affair. scheduled for mex
Monday, has been postponed unit
September 81.
