Barney Cotton, president of the
National Bank of Washington
| and P. s. Israel. his guest from
Chevy Chase, posted another con-
lsistent round yesterday to take
the lead by a one-stroke margin
with today's final round remain
ling in the second annual Burn
ing Tree member guest golf tour
nament.
A chilly afternoon rain senr
most of the scores soaring but the
new leaders, Cotton, a 13-handi-
cap played, and Israel, with a Ia
stroke allowance. shot an IS and
deducted half their combined ham
|dicap. 1874 strokes, for a net II u.
They opened with an 84-13h-
7012 on Friday and led the field
with net 142.
Play is scotch foursome all the
way, with one player driving on
the odd holes and the other on the
even. The leaders were consistent
but not spectacular and played up
Ito their handicaps all the way.

Marshall of the host club and

several club-length puts during
the round.

New York and his partner from
Garden City, Bud Kroeger, tied
for second with Ben F. Castle and
Joe Gambetese of Kenwood.

79-7-72, one stroke higher than
their first round score, while Castle
and Gambetese. former National
Press Club champion, had 85-16-
|69 after 90-16-74 first round.
