Randolph. Bolster, MARITIME
and Mullen are making their
debuts in quarter finals Of q
tournament as important as the
Maryland Amateur.
Randolph is Confident.
To Randolph, his success
comes as no surprise, Jay is q
big youngster, son of the former
Congressman from West Vir-
ginia. Jennings Randolph. He
looks old for his age and talks
a good game.
With confidence that seemed
to be on the braggadocio side to
some. Randolph remarked on the
practice tee yesterday morning
Look at my bracket. I play
Sergt. Jennings this morning, a
guy who has done pretty well in
two British Amateurs: meet
Claude Wild this afternoon and
Bogart tomorrow morning" He
added, as an afterthought,
that's of course if I win all my
matches" He neglected to say
how he would make out against
Bogart.
Jay has been playing golf less
than 80 months, he says. and his
serious golf has been under the
watchful eye of Harry Griesmer,
the Bethesda pdo. Unlike most
youngsters, who dote on fast
swings, Randolph takes the club
back, slowly, deliberately, almost
jerkily. Then he lets fly and
gets good results.
Randolph beat Sergt. Jennings.
a pretty good player, 8 and l, In
the morning. He played plucky
golf all the way against Wild,
calmly holed tricky 4-footer on
the 18th to send the match into
extra holes. and then making a
15-footer for a 4 on the first
extra hole to win. Wild was only
feet from the pin in 3. but
missed after Randolph made his.
Up Against Baltimore.
Martino, ninth son and 18th
youngest in the Martino family
of IA. must feel as though he's
in the Baltimore City amateur.
He beat Roland Mackenzie. s
and 4, and then handled Frank
Michalek, one of Baltimore's top
public links players, 3 and 2. His
morning match Is against Bailey.
and if he wins, another Balti-
morean is ahead this afternoon.
The only way he can meet a fell
low Washington golfer is to get
to the final.
Bogart was 3 over par for the
day on extending his string
of Maryland Amateur victories
to IL straight and % victories in
his last % matches. The giant
killer was Sailor Haviland, the
1850 champion, who thumped
two-time Champion Spencer
Overton, z and 6. with 1-under-
par golf, and then beat Mike
Jankowski, 2 and /. when both
produced some of the poorest
golf of the tournament.
Hard-luck guy was Hank Robi-
son of Prince Georges. He was
/ up and one to play against
Mullen and pared the tough
18th but Mullen produced a
beautifully played birdie to
square the match. Mullen then
drove in the trap on the 10Th
and won the hole with a great
out, a good chip and 4-foot putt.
