Reduced Field
Ready TO Start
Maryland Open

The field for the Maryland
Open golf championship tomor-
row and Tuesday. at the Five
Farms course at the Baltimore
Country Club has dropped back
to rs. one of the smallest In
several seasons.
The refusal to allow practice
rounds and the fact that the
prize money was not boosted
were factors in keeping some of
the regular participants from en-
tering. However, most Of the
pros who threatened to boycott
the tournament are entered.
Eighteen holes will be played
tomorrow and SO Tuesday in the
54-hole medal-play champion
ship. Provisions had been made
for 70 to play Tuesday. but in
view Of the comparatively small
field probably everybody who
turns in a card will be permitted
to play the final So.
John ODonnell of Norfolk, de-
Tending champion and present
Virginia Open titlist is entered
but Jack Isaacs Of Langley, Va,
AFB. a three-time winner, is not
The only other former cham
pions entered are Charley Bass
Ter. Andy Gibson and Harry
Griesmer and the latter, pro at
Bethesda Country Club, said he
probably would withdraw be-
cause of tournaments at his club.
Bassler, ODonnell and Walter
Romans. the host pro. are the
co-favorites. Par golf probably
will be good enough to win as
Five Farms. where the National
Amateur and PGA have been
played. is one Of the toughest
courses in the East.
