It's 10th birthday tomorrow.
This has grown into q fine

play. Just top-flite amateur
competition at a sectional level,
and enough good two-man
teams entered TO make for a

The defending champions,

to split up. Thornton is cap

co-favored with Maryland's

So Connell, a golf gypsy, will
team with Joe LaSalle, the
Belle Haven Club champion,
who has won twice with diff

Ben Hartig. now a pro. won in
1854, and LaSalle and Wally

Bobby Brownell and Ralph

They've won the title four
times, won the medal, failed
to qualify one year, lost in the
first round two years, and won
the consolation on another oc-

this season, and hardly will be

pie she serves not quite warm, never cold -
Just fresh. It's pie to eat with eyes and
nose as well as teeth and tongue.
The blue grape pie has become rarity
on the pie roster. Yet the Concord grape is
the leader of the slip-skin variety, and one

Original. This sugar rich berry of the why
flavor was developed by Ephraim Bull Of
Concord, Mass, from the seed of hearty
wild fox grape which sprung up by his
garden wall. 1t was grape different and
decidedly delicious in flavor: he planted the
seeds. He cultivated the seedlings and six
years later, he found one worth saving.
This Grape Was A Hit
After three years of testing, the new variety
was exhibited before the Massachusetts,

native grape. IL was named the Concord.
