BY MerreII WhittIesey

The question was raised at the
National Amateur championship
last week in New Jersey, How many
golfers in the field hit the ball bet
ter than Bobby Brownell?" The
ansyer, admittedly from District
golf fan. was mot many"
The several hundred galleryites
who watched BroWnell win his sec
ond District Amateur championship
with near f1aWleSs performance
against Ralph Bogart yesterday at
Columbia Country Club were of the
same opinion. There are not many
shotmakers outside of the pro ranks
who can match the lean 27-year-old
FB1 agent in the execution of his
shots.
If the Manor Club ace could have
lodged that bad putting streak mid
way in his first round match in the
National. he could have been
quarterfnalist or semifinalist. He
was in the softer bracket Most of
the star golfers at Baltusrol knew
Brownell and respected him. One
of these days he is going to get over
the hump-nationally.

Brownell was a machine in his
4-and-2 triumph over Bogart in the
District final. He missed par only
on the par-3 18th where he hooked
long iron. He had II straight
pars, birdied the 18th, went over on
13, pared IA, birdied the 18th and
ended the match with a par on 16

Columbia was championship test

Brownell played a qualifying round

ponents all the way. and was even
par for the three days play The

Bogart, seeking to make local golf
history with four city champion
ships, was a flashy player up to the
final but he won only one hole in
the title match-the fifth where he
dropped a l4-footer for birdie In
the easier bracket, Bogart was a
total of Is up in three matches up
to the final including a 6-and-5 tri-

.Fiiqht on Athletic Fund
Suit Set for May Is

Argument on a plea to dismiss q
suit filed by Frank L. Ball, jr.,
Arlington attorney, seeking to re-
Quire School Department officials to
deposit athletic contest funds with
the county treasurer, has been set
for May 13 by Circuit Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy.
The plea was filed by Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence w.

dents named in the suit.
Mr.. Ball, in his petition, alleges
admission fees to school athletic
events, guarantees for sports en-
gagements at other schools and fees
for participating in the au-star post

funds under the Virginia Code.
The petition also charges that
Washington-Lee High School sports

agents "for a profit" which comes
into "the hands of the School Board
through its agents"
Another allegation states there is
no committee organization or asso-
citation of students designated as an
athletic association at the school.

Suburban Hospital
Reported Operating
AT Near-Capacity

Suburban Hospital, Bethesda, one
of the hospitals In Montgomery
County, which was lauded in the re-
port Of the Washington Metropon-
tan Health Council, has been oper-
ating to near-capacity despite the
fact that when it first opened two
years ago there were more than so
per cent vacancies.
A report submitted by Arthur B.
Scion, hospital superintendent, to
the Suburban Hospital Association
last week disclosed there was a daily
average of 80 patients registered
during March. He said the hos
pital had a capacity of 102 beds, of
which 18 were reserved for obstetri-
cal cases.
When the hospital opened In De-
cember, 1943, the average daily oc-
cupancy for the first month, it was
revealed, was only % patients. The
number increased from 80 in Febru-
ary to Sc in July, 1914, and by No
vember, the average had jumped to
II, 1t was pointed out.
The attitude of some District doc
tors who refused to send their pa
tients to Bethesda, due to the in
convenience, was responsible for
many of the vacancies, Mr.. Solon
declared. Such a condition no
longer exists, he said.
Eighty-nine doctors treated pa
tients at the hospital during March,
Mr.. Solon said, adding that a good
percentage of these" were District
doctors.
Theodore Wiprud, secretary of the
District Of Columbia Medical So
ciety, explained that it was entirely
up to the individual doctor" whether
they would send their patients to
Suburban Hospital.
At first, Mr.. Wiprud continued.
there was reluctance on part of Dis
tric1 Esicians to go there because
|of bfder-line license question
one requiring District@ physicians
who operate in Maryland to pay q
$50 reciprocity fee to practice in the
State. Many Of them now have the
Maryland licenses and are free to
use Suburban's facilities, he said.

Falls Church May Get
Trips Run Land for
Recreation Area Use

The town of Falls Church Soor
may receive suf1cient grants of land
along Trips Run in the Greenway
Dawns section from Oak street to
Lee highway to establish a town
park and recreational area.
This was revealed last night at a
meeting of the West End Citizens
Association by Ralph R. Ley, presi-
dent. Mr.. Ley said that the re-
cently-formed Falls Church Recrea-
ton Committee, in cooperation
with the Town Planning Commission,
had received assurances from two
landowners whose holdings border
on Trips Run that they would be
willing either to deed or make avail
able to the town the necessary por-
tions of their property. Mr.. Ley
said that negotiations with other
large landholders in the area are
under way and that it is possible
that the recreational area may take
shape before the end Of the summer.
If the land is obtained, MIR. Ley
declared, he had made arrange
ments to obtain temporary build
ing from the Government to be used
for the time being as q recreational
headquarters.
After complaints by several citi-
zens that during the summer
months in some areas of the town
the water pressure is so low that
none is available during certain
hours, the association named Capt.
P. w. Hams, U. S. NJ, to look into
the problem and the possibilities
of obtaining more water from Ar
lington.
The association voted to send a
letter to the council indorsing a
plan for prohibiting all parking
for about 200 feet in each direc-
ton from the traffic light in Falls
Church. The plan also contem-
plates the discontinuance of the
traf1ic light during rush hours and
the direction of traffic by a police
man.
Several members Of the associa-
ton were directed to go to the
public hearing In Fairfax today and
tomorrow to ascertain whether or
not acreage in the town is being
assessed at its proper valuation.
Members expressed the view that if
the large, undeveloped tracts in
the town are being assessed as farm
lands rather than city lots, the
town should enter a formal protest
with the Board of Assessors,
