Romans Finds Manor
To His Liking, Cuts
Score by 10 Shots
By Merrell WhittIesey

The Baltimore monopoly in the
Middle-Atlantic PGA and Maryland
State pro-amateur golf tournaments
had been pretty well broken up this
year until the 29-year-old Baltimore
Country Club pro, Walter Romans,
csme along to win the pro sweep
stakes by four strokes and carry two
partners into first and second place
in yesterdays MsGA event at Manor
Country Club.
Last year the Baltimoreans made
the events a weekly winning habit,
but this season Washington tandems
had won five, Frederick and Cum
berland teams one each, a Wash
ington- Virginia team one and Balti-
more and Frederick teams had tied
in another before the Baltimoreans
came along to win the pro junior,
pro senior and gain a tie in the
pro-lady.
Shoots 2-Under-Par GO.
Romans was playing Manor for
the second time this season and
certainly showed tremendous i'm
provement. In the MAPGA pro-
am championship at the Norbeck
club he had 7s. his poorest COM
petitive round of the season, and u,
but yesterday he played each nine
in 1-under-par "a for a com1nendable
2-under 68 under the soft conditions
of the course.
1t was the first time this year
that any pro had won one OF the
events by a four-stroke margin.
The second best effort was 70 by
Charles Bassler of Chevy Chase,
while Bob Grove Of Frederick. next

of Norfolk, had TBS. Leo Walper OF

the same club had IS to take the
pro-am honor over Romans and
Bill Wagner. Andy Gibson and
Eddie Johnston of the G. c. OF
Maryland tied for third with Ct
best ball from scratch.
Johnston PAGES Amateurs.
Johnston led the amateurs with
a 70 that tied the second best score
of the day while net prize winners
were Indian Springs Ted Burrows
with 72-A-6o Ferdinand Krar1-
mer of Bonnie View, 87-17-70 and
Ralph Quinter, jr., of Chevy Chase,
70-7-70.
The first round matches in the
