Stranger Makes
Himself at Home
In Junior Golf
By MERRELL WHITTLEsEY

Ifinalist today in the Goth Middle
Atlantic junior championship, is
a Belle Haven player. but still is
a comparative stranger to the
District Junior golf program.
Holden, at 16 eldest of six chill
dren, was explaining his situa-
ton yesterday after he beat
Chick Cullinane of Bethesda, Il
up in 20 holes. in the quarter
final feature of the tournament.
at Kenwood.
Holden played in less than
half of his George Washington
High School teams schoolboy
matches. and passed up the
Schoolboy championship because
as he put it, II couldn't afford
to miss a single class. I want
to go to a big university, and
I'm going to need real good
grades to get in"
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
His grades-pretty good he said.
but room for improvement. He'll
be a junior in September.
Plays With Virginians
Holden is such stranger that
he plays on the Virginia team
against the District in the an
nual D. C. VS.. Virginia All-Star
amateur match, and also played
for the Virginians in their match
against North Carolina.
He volunteered two other rea-
sons why he doesn't play in the
District junior, the field days,
etc. He works part time to make
expenses for State and national
tournaments. And, he added,
I'm lazy, too. I'd rather play at
Belle Haven"
Last week Charley played in
the Virginia junior and made the
semiflnalS. OF more Importance,
he won a berth in the USGAI
junior championship in the
qualifying round.
He made the USGA event, up
coming at WilliamStown. Mass,
when Sam Wallace of Williams
burg three-putted to lose. But
they're buddieS, and he per-
suaded Wallace to come here
for the Middle Atlantic junior,
and be his guest.
/ So Holden and Wallace both
are in the Semifinals. Holden
plays Keith Bowie. the Mary
land junior champion from
Prince Georges. Wallace plays
John Grub, the District junior
champion. who day by day moves
farther in front of the other
teen-agerS in Frank Emmet's
program.
Grub Plays Best Golf
Holden defeated Bob Bremen
of Montgomery Blair, up, in
the first round, and was one up
on Cullinane coming to the 18th.
That was old hat to Chick. who
also had been one down coming
to- the 18th against Jack Doser,
but squared the match with a
par and won the 10Th hole with
a birdie.
Cullinane eaSed in a 10-foot
putt after a wonderful chip shot
over trouble to win the 18th
from Holden. and square the
match. They halved the 18th in
well-played par As, but Holden
played the better chip shot on
the goth and won with par 3.
Wallace finished his business
much earlier, but had to wait
for Holden for the ride home.
Sam won. 3 and 2, over Ford
Verdery of Baltimore, and beat
Dick Kraft of Manor. 7 and g.
Grub played the days best
golf. He was only about two
over par for the day in Sup
margins over Marvin Singman
and Bob McFerren.
Bowie had the toughest as
signments. He eliminated med
aiist John Redman, 2 and /, and
then topped Bob Lerner of
Woodmont. 3 and l.
Three Finals Slated

Georges and Paul Quinn of
Baltimore reached the 14-15I
